    But the story/plot is what the movie bases its foundation on. A well written movie with bad CGI is better than a visually good movie with a bad story. IMO, yes you can enjoy a movie for specific reasons, but the core story should be at least good for me to like it. Just my opinion of course.

      There are great movies that can’t even be said to have an actual story at all. Just a collection of scenes that hopefully make you feel something.

        I would probably argue the collection of scenes tell a great story, which is why it’s good. Most Snyder films for example can be visually stunning without a lot of dialogue but the story is terrible that it takes away any enjoyment of the visuals.

          Dialog isn’t a requirement of a story. Good Boy has less than a dozen spoken lines in the movie, as it’s from a dogs perspective. But it also has a very clear story and plot. That’s not what I’m talking about. Check out some movies on this list.

            That’s fair. Non-narrative films are a specific niche though, and specifically not having a story is their identity. You can’t judge a film for its story if there intentionally isn’t one.

          That’s probably 20% on the way to what I mean.
          It still has a pretty clear describable naritive story. It doesn’t always make sense, and sometimes you don’t know what’s happening. Maybe yah. It’s less story than I remember.
