Special effects don't push every movie to the top

The trailer is the quintessence of every movie, even the worst movie, its trailer is amazing, because it condenses the most essential and fascinating part of the movie into just a few minutes, you can skip watching this one. movie, but don't turn down its trailer.
My motive for watching this movie was entirely because I watched its trailer, wonderful special effects, and beautiful pictures all guided me to appreciate the grandeur of this movie, but after watching it, I was quite disappointed, the plot was very old-fashioned, The whole storyline is not so thrilling, like a calm lake with no waves, no exciting plot, no matter how good the special effects are, what's the use? It will never be included in the annals of film history.
In terms of special effects, no film can reach the height of "Avatar" at present. It is an insurmountable peak existence (for now), although the special effects in the movie "Percy" are also very good. , but I think he is still far from the realm of "Avatar", and the gap is very large. In this era of special effects movies, it cannot be highlighted. The essence of the movie is often the plot of the entire movie, and the special effects are also The presence of auxiliary plots.
There are many special effects blockbusters in the United States, but these movies can only be called wonderful, not classics. I personally think that classic movies can be recorded in the history of film development. "Avatar" is a very good interpretation of this. It created a whole new form of film, and "Percy" is on a very embarrassing level, it doesn't have a moving plot, but it has good special effects, but people after seeing "Avatar" will put his As a constant standard for special effects films, it is often compared with it. The special effects of "Percy" are not as good as others, so it is reasonable to fail.
The success or failure of a movie is not determined by some fancy useless special effects. The plot is always the foundation of the movie. If the plot is not good, even if the special effects are done well, it is just a fake table. The existence of special effects is to assist the better performance of the plot and the development of the film You can't rely entirely on the performance of special effects.
