Except the Myst world actually had an excellent plot. There were three Myst books published, and they were all a surprisingly good read. The makers of Myst created the Myst world first, then decided mediums to express it through (games, books) afterwards, so it's not like they are trying to stretch the Myst game into a movie (I don't think there was enough story in the Myst game to do so). This is more akin to a book being made into a movie. I would recommend checking out the books, they are very well done. I am looking forward to their results.
