CONFLICT AND STORY EFFECTS
JASON SHARES HIS THOUGHTS ON MAGIC THAT USES STORIES TO CREATE TENSION IN AN EFFECT .
I was recently on a flight to Europe and found myself flipping through the available movies to watch during the flight . Everything was pretty terrible looking , but I figured I ’ d settle on the best looking movie , an action movie with Gerard Butler titled Geostorm . Here ’ s the blurb from IMDB :
“ After an unprecedented series of natural disasters threatened the planet , the world ’ s leaders came together to create an intricate network of satellites to control the global climate and keep everyone safe . But now , something has gone wrong : the system built to protect Earth is attacking it , and it becomes a race against the clock to uncover the real threat before a worldwide geostorm wipes out everything and everyone along with it .”
It was pretty lame . A lot of the dialog was predictable and most of the action scenes were shot chaotically ( a cut every 2-3 seconds ). I could see through the foreshadowing and bad acting was painful to sit through . However , I stuck with it because I wanted to know how things would end . Even though it was a bad movie , it had conflict and an easy premise to follow .
