Or they could just make the movie good?

There's a reason why we still talk about movies like Double Indemnity, Touch of Evil, The Maltese Falcon, Bride of Frankenstein, Alien, Aliens, Jaws, A Clockwork Orange, The Thing, etc, these days.

If they focused on writing a good movie first, and then worried about the effects second, people would go see it.
