Has cinema reached its peak?

The 70's, 80's & 90's had genuinely original films and great actors. Now the quality has consistently dropped and they seem to have run out of ideas.
There are many good filmmakers right now and enjoyable films today but none that have changed the way we view film as a medium or story telling significantly. It just doesn’t hit the same as it used to.
Ticket sales still haven't reached pre covid levels. Operating costs are continually increasing. Busts and flops are the new norm and blockbusters are the exception.
The whole industry is changing.

Nothing to do with ideas. It's the talent pool that runs movie land now. Inherited from their parents, Hollywood is now filled with spoilt little cunts who have zero idea how to make a film good, and are focussed solely on parting themselves on the back and making as much money as possible.
Movies have been consistent since around id say, the 1930s. Then suddenly, over the last 10-15 years, have suddenly gotten absolutely shit.

Go look at a year like 1990 and see how many get films there were in that year

Cinema has been "straight to bargain bin" since the 90's.

Yep. The 80's is when cinema peaked. A lot of that talent carried over into the 90's. Since then movies have been circling the drain like a gigantic turd that refuses to be flushed.
