I think there’s a large contingent of people who see negative reviews and go “Yeah, fuck that, I’ll make up my own mind.”
I felt the same way about Megalopolis. Glad I saw it. When I see reviews talking about how a movie is confusing or hard to understand my general feeling is “Yeah, but the reviewer could just be dumb too…”
Confusing movies are sometimes the best movies. :) Pi, Primer, the Fountain, Cloud Atlas (I still need to re-watch that one), Life of Pi. Lot of “P” movies here for some reason.

When the plot is deeper than a puddle, it’s harder for a movie to get a good review.
+1 for Primer, so good.
I’ve only had that feeling about movies I was already interested in. Random movie, not so much
