I agree. Just because the technology is innovative doesn't mean the movie will be substantively interesting (it won't be) or entertaining (it probably will be).

I guess if blockbuster movies are your thing, then James Cameron is the man. But, to me, I roll my eyes everytime he "advances" moviemaking while failing to take any risks in the story and instead follows paint-by-numbers storyingtelling.
