But there have been some pretty big breakthroughs recently in cinema. You personally may not have noticed, or maybe you even thought the performances sucked. But they are here and they are first.
Gravity: The first movie to try to spend almost 100% of it's time in empty space and I am pretty sure it's the first movie that was filmed mostly using just green screen. I didn't even see this movie, I have just heard these things about it.
The Hobbit: One of the first major movies to give deep background to a CGI character, deep enough to span more than a trilogy. And before this Pixar was really the "CGI" character background people, but that's for children, not 3 hour movies in a 5 movie set.
Prometheus: Ancient Greece came right in our faces and we had no idea, most movies hide the fact that they are just knock offs of ancient plays. But this movie just told us right in the title.
Paranormal Activity: Taking jump scaring like in "the Gruge" to a max, before this movie, people wanted gore, now people want the screen to surprise them and make them jump. And making millions off of $15,000
I'll list more later. These were just right on the top of my head and made me want to write this.
