What is movie making?

Rating: 8/10 (14 November 2013)

Years I've been hearing the same story. My personal, humble view. Movie making is about thrilling, enthusing, entertaining, making people dream, taking them on a beautiful, PRIMARILY, visual trip filled with dimensions unseen and unthought of. A bit like Elysium. A visual, near-masterpiece, and most movies of this kind, should end there. Elysium, Minority Report, and the likes are primarily, solely if you like, VISUAL MOVIES. Foretelling, visually the future. The story is an added benefit. So, If you have this in your mind, you enjoy the movie, and rate it highly. If not, you will be all your life, discontent with movies of the Future! You cannot shove in Elysium acting and stories like 'In the Name of the Father' and 'Shaw Shank Redemption.' These movies are acting/story. Elysium/Minority are Visuals. Full stop!
