Why All Netflix Blockbusters Feel the Same

Once upon a time, the word blockbuster meant something big — a summer tentpole film with an A-list star, a visionary director, and massive box office expectations. But in today’s streaming era, the term has shifted… and not for the better. With platforms like Netflix pouring millions into original films, you'd expect groundbreaking, unforgettable hits. Instead, many of these so-called “streaming blockbusters” feel flat, formulaic, and instantly forgettable. Despite big budgets and star-studded casts, something’s missing.
