I would happily watch this movie but I know no one else in my family will want to so I'll have to wait for a free evening with just me; that's usually how it goes for me with bad sci-fi.
I think it might be less "catching on" and more subconscious pattern recognition, along with, potentially, something that is innate to human psychology. I seem to remember reading that George Lucas heard of The Hero's Journey after already having written part of Star Wars, and realized that it fit.
Anyway, if you watch it, let me know what you think!
