Looking for examples of well shot, but horrible movies.

Prometheus is a good example. Beautifully shot, excellent cast, amazing effects...TERRIBLE MOVIE. I tried rewatching it, and am just in awe of horribly written it is. Theres a new plot hole introduced almost every time someone speaks.

The story in Space Odyssey was pretty poor too. 20 minutes of apes screaming, computer kills astronauts (good bit), then a 20 minute acid trip that ends up in a hotel room. The special effects in space were amazing, but overall, meh.

Fair. It helps to read the Clarke book first, Kubrick didn't really bother to make the story clear, and I'm pretty sure he even misunderstood the ending.

I think once you know what's actually happening, it becomes more watchable. I read a post about it ages ago and watching it after that was amazing.
