“Nothing happening” can be as impactful and meaningful as a scene full of action.
I personally like to know as little as possible about a movie before I watch it, aside from genre. I want to experience the story as the creators intended, and at times this includes being completely in the dark. The transition from “wtf is going on?” to understanding is where the payoff resides.
Every movie you watch is a gamble, even if you read the Wikipedia page first. And it is possible to get a general understanding of the reception of a movie without having to know anything about the plot itself.
> it's probably a good thing that we have enough options to entertain ourselves in order to not having to take these gambles
Different people watch for different reasons. I personally think it’d be incredibly boring to stop making gambles on potentially interesting movies.
