I see your point. For me, action doesn't make a movie. (Not saying that it does for you.) It's the plots, the story depth, and how much it makes you think, and sit there in awe.

Most of my favorite movies aren't adrenaline pumping action. As long as I can use my brain to think, and work to understand what the director was trying to accomplish, then I find the experience more enjoyable. IAL was about survival, and trying to find a new future. Almost the same with 28DL it's not about the action. ^_~
