When a movie is non-linear in structure and you have to put everything together in your mind while you're watching is (like the terrific Mexan movie Amores Perros), then it works. Well, as long as it's executed well enough. But in the case of Metroid Prime where the story is pretty much just pieces of an instruction manual spread all across the levels, that is NOT good storytelling. You can delude yourself as much as you want to, Brian, but you are very much wrong about this. Very wrong.
Take some literature or film classes and then come back to me.
