I remember the 1960s Star Trek and Doctor Who had bad special effects, but had the story and acting that made up for it. The story made it real; now we have special effects with AI and supercomputers, but how good is the story? Writers and actors make the difference.

Hollywood acting is basically nonexistent these days.

You get Chris Pratt in to play "Chris Pratt in this situation".

60's Trek was cheesy, but at least they tried.

Yeah it's less about Chris Pratt's ability to inhabit and exude a character, as much as co-branding them film with Chris Pratt's brand as a cross-over.

I thought star trek had good effects, but doctor who was just terrible.

But I was young - and young people are visual but not aware of subtlety.

I also thought the original batman was an action show. Decades later I watched it as an adult and it was a comedy, and hilarious.

Batman '66 was campy; they tried to dumb it down for kids and censored the violence with Biff and Bam effects like the comic had.
