This year's breakouts like 'Project Hail Mary' and 'Obsession' were made by filmmakers who sweated. While CG-stuffed franchise disappointments such as 'Supergirl,' 'Moana,' and 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' looked lazy.
Yes and no. Correlation is not causation. Movies cost so much that consumers have to be picky. As a cost/benefit are you more likely to get your money’s worth from the Odyssey or Moana 2? If Moana 2 had more practical effects would it be a better movie?
A theater trip for a family of 4 can be ~$100. It is for my family where we live. That’s 1/3 the cost of a 55 inch TV, or a 65 inch TV at Black Friday, plus a big box of microwave popcorn.
If you want people to see the poorly written, phone-it-in, low effort remakes these studios are intent on putting out, you have to price it accordingly, or everyone walking out of the theater says the same thing: “Wow. That wasn’t worth it.”
People are still very willing to see well crafted, thought out, intentional pieces from direrectors or studios they trust to do a good job. It’s worth it.
In fact. Let’s just do this for real. Drop Matt Damon off in the remote wilderness with a backpack of supplies and a video camera. If he finds is way back to civilization, we can cut a movie from the footage he records.

They really took the wrong message.
What movie goers want to see is Matt Damon get lost and then find a way back.

We’ll let him take Les Stroud with him.
Pretty sure the people want to see Matt Damon get on his knees for a sexy transmasc twink
Por que no los dos?
Spoiler – Interstellar proves he doesn’t have to come back. Just getting lost is enough.
