It’s worthwhile to acknowledge that movies don’t all exist along a Good-Bad axis, but also along an axis of Watchable-Unwatchable.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie with Bob Hoskins is Bad and Watchable.
La Dolce Vita is Good, but I would be hard-pressed to call it Watchable.
Morbius is Terrible, but not even remotely in a fun, Watchable way. It’s just cold dog shit.
And of course all of these categories are 100% subjective relative to the individual viewer.
Context also matters.
Samurai cop, awful. Literally 0 redeeming value. If you watched it alone you’d pissed.
In a group of friends? One of the most intensely watchable movies you’ll ever see.
I’ll take a bad movie that knows it’s bad over a movie that thinks it’s good every day of the week.
I don’t like Interstellar because what the hell does growing corn have to do with going into a black hole?
You ever play cornhole?
Why not just use “Solaris” / «Солярис»? Great movie.
Everyone seemingly missed that you linked a different ‘Solaris’.
Solaris was genuinely very difficult to follow. As an avante garde Sci Fi piece, incredible. You can draw a straight line from Solaris to a hundred Star Trek and Dr Who and Battle Star Galactica episodes. Absolutely littered with cool ideas.
As… entertainment? It was a bumpy road. The execution was rough, even by the standards of the era.
I had some for the best sleep ever watching that movie.
Definitely one of the most boring films I’ve ever seen. Great solution for insomnia.
Haven’t seen the movie yet but the book was fuckin trippy! Loved it!
Since you’re probably thinking of Tarkovsky’s film, be advised that just like with ‘Stalker’, he didn’t really follow the original material, and instead used it to build his own ideas. So it’s a separate art piece.
