    Totally agree but I don’t find stupid movies ‘fun’.

    There are movies that are purposefully wacky, nonsensical, not scientific or just silly and I can’t enjoy them. Snowpiercer is a great example. This movie made 0 sense but it wasn’t trying to be a proper sci-fi. I was about the message and it was nicely delivered.

    Then you have movies that are trying to be smart and failing badly like for example Interstellar. It’s a “smart” movie for not so smart people. I hate those.

    And then you have purely stupid movies like all the Marverls, fast and furious and so on. Nothing makes sense but everyone pretends it does. If you are able to turn off thinking for couple hours and enjoy it - good for you. I can’t.

      Honestly, I like Interstellar for its depictions of the failings of humans, more than for its depictions of scientific ideas.

      But maybe that’s because I am already more science-minded and expect mainstream movie science to be garbage.
