Worst Movie of All Time?

Hear me out

I know your first reaction will be "Avatar is not a great movie, but surely it's at least ok. Not 'bad' in the same league as Transformers movies." Actually, it's worse

It proposes itself as both the ultimate blockbuster AND an Oscar bait movie. It started two separate but equally horrible trends. One was the 3-D movie. 3-D is a shit format and shouldn't exist at all, much less for as many movies as it does. Pretty much any medium budget-sized blockbuster and up. Second is the use of CGI to tell an entire movie; the movie is mainly just CGI characters and set pieces. Movies like John Carter, Tron: Legacy, Valerian and the City of the Thousand Planets, the MCU, the new Star Wars movies, any "connected universe", including the Mummy one, the Godzilla ones, and any other shit coming out these next few years

this movie showed that sticking to an extremely safe, formulaic, plot can rake in billions if you slap on a cool coat of CGI paint. people are stupid and will pay for anything

It’s not even remotely close to being the worst film ever made. This post is the MovieChat equivalent of clickbait.

Apparently this guy's never seen Battlefield Earth.

Sorry, Chris. I’ve a notification that you replied to something I said here, but I can’t see it. Perhaps it’s because I have like 300 members on Ignore.

You’re one of the few I respect.

Definitely wouldn't say it is the worst movie of all time. Boring derivative plot and outside the amazing special effects, that actually ended up not holding up well (Unlike Revenge of the Sith) was an overall empty film story and character wise.

I would be more willing to agree that Sam Worthington is one of the worst actors of all time. Why was there so much love for this clown for like 3 years between 2008 and 2011 or so?
