Does anyone feel that the story was a bit too obvious?

[The Man in Black]

I think it required a little less thought than some movies, but overall it visually took you somewhere else. The storyline wasn't anything incredibly original, however it got the point across, and as we've seen it affected some of us to our core. It made some take a deep look at themselves, some saw room for improvement, others were not pleased at all. And many it didn't affect in any way at all, I heard often that it was just "visually stunning, and that's it." Regardless, I think it did what it was intended in its own way, and at the end of the day that's what matters isn't it? The fact that it brought such an astounding group of people together on these sites speaks for itself. Some may say that the result fell short of the intended result of the movie, because there were some plot simplicities, unoriginal storyline, etc... but I stick to my idea that if one person is affected positively, then it could be called a success.
