Very few movies have any originality now. If you've seen one, you've seen them all.
You just aren't watching the right movies then. There have been plenty of great movies that have come out over the past couple years that are very good original ideas.

Look no further than last year's Oscar nominees for Best Picture. Half of them (American Sniper, Imitation Game, The Theory of Everything, Selma) were based on true stories, but they were not true stories that had already been put into film (or in the case of Selma, not at that level of film making), and the execution of those stories was extraordinary. The other half (Birdman, Boyhood, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Whiplash) were all fantastic original ideas, that were all very different from one another both stylistically and in terms of what emotions they inspired.

If you just sit and watch all of the big blockbusters that come out, of course they're going to be the same. The unwashed masses are stupid idiots that want to see explosions and pretty faces (I include myself as part of the unwashed masses most of the time). But if you want to see great filmmaking/writing/acting, you have to dig a little deeper than the movies that get advertised in commercials (or just wait for the Oscar nominees).

Wow, even the French showed a little more spine than that before they got their sh*t pushed in.[^] -Colin Mullikin
