Re: What movie franchise do you think would benefit from a smaller budget

A high budget means there is the temptation to put it all on the screen. You have to not just use it all, but show its use, so character scenes get cut to have special effect pieces instead. Story becomes less tight because you are looking now at just bridging from one effect to the next. That was noticeable in the Trek 2009 movie, all the meaty Nero character stuff got dumped on the cutting room floor so we could see the big explosions, and the race from Earth to Vulcan was hypercompressed in order to get from the big Moving Out scene to the big wreckage and battle scene as quickly as possible before people started to notice there wasn't a lot of story.

I agree that it's a modality of bad scriptwriting that's only available to big budget movies, but I would still say the reason the movie was bad was the script. They could have just as easily written a shitty script with a small budget. Because script quality is orthogonal to budget.

Actually I thought ST09 was okay but that's besides the point.

Is there any proof of this? Star Wars: Force Awakens had a bigger budget but seems to have done fine.
