Unless a worse malevolence would actually be to have everyone sitting on a beach, relaxing, never doing or feeling anything at all for eternity. I'll take the pain and triumph package over the numbness any day.
The movie is only cliche because it is necessarily short on time and nuance. But if you bring the view up to a grander perspective on humanity as a whole, a person's complete life becomes lazy and cliche. Over the course of our lives almost everyone gets to be a dozen different types of both hero and sacrifice at different times--or at least we are offered the opportunity to be--and anything less would effectively be like being dead anyway.
