Late addition: I thought I fixed all the stupid math problems before I posted this, but it's still totally wrong. Even leaving aside the fact the English doesn't have 2,000 prepositions, which I just glossed over :)

A five-word sentence with 1000 options per word isn't 5^1000 but only 1000^5 = 10^15. If we break the movie into 5-second blocks we get 48 of them in a 4-minute movie so (10^15)^48 = 10^720 different movies, which is not bad but we're still 10^513 away. There are a lot more variations we could consider - different actors, costumes, sets, framing, color grading etc. and I think it's plausible that we could come up with enough features. Heck if you talk twice as fast, you could get (10^15)^(48*2) = 10^1440. But it's a lot bigger than I made it out to be.
