Vayshan, it's boredom. Terrible, awful boredom, and accidentally stumbling upon these movies on TV.
So, are you intentionally torturing your brain by forcing yourself to watch these masterpieces? There's a whole class of films that can be grouped under the collective title "Summer Blockbuster." They usually have a linear, simple plot, the characters don't always act appropriately, and so on. The list could go on. But they have beautiful, impressive visuals, and these films are designed for people who can perceive a film as an attraction and derive aesthetic pleasure from watching action scenes that grip you to your seat, much like people who derive aesthetic pleasure from contemplating, say, Malevich's square. That is, they exist so that the viewer can simply have a pleasant time without thinking about the characters or their motivations. Moreover, these films should be watched in a movie theater, not on a depressing TV. And they are definitely not designed for analyzing the plot. But for some reason, there are always people who try to prove to everyone that the film is terrible because "the character acted stupidly," "the plot is not well thought out," and in general, "that's not how it happens." That is, they are looking for something in the film that simply cannot be there, and frankly, it looks more like an attempt to present themselves as some kind of critic and connoisseur of the beautiful (no offense), instead of turning off their brain and having a fun time with friends at a screening. If I want to watch a film with a plot and deep meaning, I'll go to a completely different movie.
