I agree, but I also think that most of the greatest ideas for film have already been taken so there's not much completely new material to draw from, and perhaps the best we can do now is to recycle old concepts in a new way. Films like
The Matrix are the exception, but I personally think that pretty much everything that can be done on film has already been done at this point, and all that remains is a variation on theme.
