The special effects were impressive, no doubt. But my point was that special effects alone are not enough for me to enjoy the movie. If a movie has a bad storyline, I won't enjoy it regardless of how many special effects are in it. Earlier, you said something about "checking your brain at the door". Personally, that's something I can't do. If you can, that's great because you won't experience as much disappointment as I do at the cinema.

But generally I can tell in advance what type of movies are willing to trade special effects for plot or acting and I'll avoid those. To each his own.
