 * Steal a plot used from another movie, preferably an enviromentalist movie.
 * Use the 3D technology 20 years after it fell from the mainstream, thereby making most moviegoers pay twice for the movie. Even better, recommend the 3D thing to literally everyone in your advertising.

 * Make it 2 to 3 hours long.
