I understand that.  But it was also intended to be a major motion picture
with serious effects, serious dialogue, serious budget, etc.  It was aimed
at a much wider audience and had loftier goals than pretty much every scifi
movie before it (except 2001).

And I still consider 2001 a monumental work of art.  But obviously it's
not for everyone.
