I agree with the author that VFX effects are not meant to be the main reason people go see a film or replace stars. I did not go see The Avengers or Spiderman because of VFX. If that were the case, why did Battleship do so poorly. It's not because people are bored with VFX effects; it was because the whole premiss was a little ridiculous and the writing and acting didn't seem too promising.
VFX effects are there to serve the story. It's one of those things that if done well shouldn't be noticed.
