I could easily imagine someone who considers a movie to be the greatest of all time but to have a weak plot. A movie that is such a tour-de-force visually that it blows the plot out of the water, or a movie that focuses carefully on a character study without telling much of a story, or an arthouse film that stirs the emotions while making no sense from a linear summary perspective. Like video games, movies can have many more components than just the story being told.

They made that movie. It's called Tree Of Life and it sucks.
It's also called avatar, which cared so little for the plot the mcguffin they were trying to get was called unobtanium.
Haha! I'd never thought of that, but right you are.
