Please read carefully what I previously posted!
My point isn't hard to understand.
The clearest way I can explain: There are movies which are done well, and ones that are done poorly, good movies immerse you because the universe they create is believable.
NOT BELIAVABLE IN A SENSE THAT IT HAS TO BE ABLE TO HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE! but believable in a sense of how it is portrayed in the film. The contexts it is in.....

Exactly!
......And then there are bad movies like Shoot em Up for me. Because this movie creates a weak universe that is not immersive.
