Having seen all 3 summer blockbusters (Jurassic World: Rebirth, Superman, and Fantastic Four: First Steps) after years without moviegoing, I think Covid has a lot more to do with the changes in movies than AI.
By any measure, movies were pretty bad before Covid. Then, people stopped going entirely. I think this caused the studios to rethink what they have to sell.
We're getting storylines that wouldn't be in previous versions of these films, like dogs and pregnant women. Pacing is also changing and storied franchises are being mercilessly rebooted with their entire canon tossed or disrupted because it doesn't appeal today.
We're also seeing more large format feature films (IMAX and XD) where these used to be reserved for documentaries or special events. I watched all of the mentioned films in large formats and paid extra to do so.
Rather than AI, I think these changes represent the response of people at the studio to changes that customers want to see at the movies, lest they stay home and watch standard fare on streaming.
Yet the Jurassic Park franchise is just as strong as ever.
