yeaaaahhhhhhno. Plenty of people walk out of great movies going "the effects were GREAT" doesn't mean the movie didn't do it's job. you'd have to be sorta mentally impaired or something to leave a great effects movie going "I wonder how they strapped that camera to the spaceship to get those shots like that. I wonder how many spaceships they blew up to make that documentary!"

A lot of people only went to Star Wars in 77 BECAUSE it had great effects, and that's it. It was fascinating at the time for people to see something that far ahead of the curve as far as visuals went. I guarantee you people left the theater going "GREAT special effects."
