Looking for examples of well shot, but horrible movies.

Prometheus is a good example. Beautifully shot, excellent cast, amazing effects…TERRIBLE MOVIE. I tried rewatching it, and am just in awe of horribly written it is. Theres a new plot hole introduced almost every time someone speaks.

    Might be controversial but Interstellar. The movie so wanted to be another Space Odyssey and it looks gorgeous, but the whole story is complete ass.

      The story in Space Odyssey was pretty poor too. 20 minutes of apes screaming, computer kills astronauts (good bit), then a 20 minute acid trip that ends up in a hotel room. The special effects in space were amazing, but overall, meh.

        I think once you know what’s actually happening, it becomes more watchable. I read a post about it ages ago and watching it after that was amazing.

    This one I think is a bit divisive but that is how I felt about The Last Jedi. It was a beautifully shot movie that was not a good movie. Maybe not terrible but not good.
