If you're going to spent $100 million on a movie, why settle for a boring plot and pedestrian dialog?
I watched the La Brea show for a while. Lots of expensive special effects. But the dialog was just pablum. The characters each talked like they were the same person - using the same words and phrases. They behaved the same, too.
I've been sort of watching "La Brea" thinking this show is pretty bad. Then I'll watch some sci fi made-for-TV movie from long ago, and that'll be far worse.
How does one even write lines like:
"We need to work together!" "I won't give up on you!"
It's like an AI bot wrote the dialog.
