Prose and visuals/cinematography aren't identical because the former requires active engagement by the reader, while the latter can subconsciously influence the viewer's emotions. Moreover, if the prose is coupled with genuinely poor storytelling, it is still noticeable because as a reader, story progression is a function of your focused attention, and boring stories don't inspire attention.

Therefore, you need to expend more energy reading a well-written, but boring, story than an equally poorly written, but visually interesting, movie.
