I found this quote on a Blake's Seven web site, and I couldn't have said it better my self when it comes to movies like the new Star Trek or Avatar.
IMO, these films "discard good story telling for over blown visual effects."
Look at the original Star Trek and Blake's 7; even the old Dr. Who. These had stories. And any detractors to my statement: they just MADE a NEW Star Trek movie and there is a NEW Doctor. The ideas of those stories have survived. Too bad the actual stories and ideas didn't. It just proves that today's movie goers like shiny things and have no concept of a story.
