It's working fine, and getting better.

A movie is a story. If the story is good, we're all ready to accept imperfect VFX, SFX, sets, costumes, props and so on as long as they're in service of a good story.

So the story is the problem.

The problem is the story is very often the problem in modern movies. So my feelings about that WGA strike are very mixed. The industry has seen an influx of young, inexperienced, at times obnoxious writers, whose union insists "you'll hire them in greater numbers, for longer time, at higher salaries".

I'd say:

Attention, Hollywood: the WGA isn't working, so please stop using it.
