You should expand your movie viewing net then. There is a ton good movies, and I mean a ton. There is also a lot of boring shit, yes

Nah. It’s not my lack of seeing movies, it’s the lack of movies to see. Everything is a rehash, a cliche, or a big loud overblown cgi turd. I tried, honestly, to give a fuck about movies, but they’re making it kinda difficult.

Movies follow predictable formulas and trends, over time this becomes more true, not less true especially with fewer and fewer lines being written by humans every year. As a format, they’re too short to tell an in depth story and too long to tell a short punchy one. The design and market optimization priorities that shape movies tend to disincentivize originality. Even inception, which was all the rage for being oh so trippy and original was just a lame heist story with stupid flat uninteresting characters, and a boring sci-fi twist. Movies will only become more boring, loud and terrible as time goes on.

It's exactly, perceptively, the fact that you saw some things you didn't like, decided that everything is like that, and fucking off on your high horse.
I'm not a big movie guy, watching movie for me is not a usual activity, but even I can tell you name you some popular stuff that is brilliant by all metrics. And if you spend any time trying to find stuff you like, you will not have enough time in a day to watch everything you want.
