I’m asking because an IMDb rating cutoff above 6.5±5 seems to generally do a good job making sure I don’t regret watching something. But what am I missing among the sub-6? I know they exist, but it is hard to select among seas of…bad movies.

    That had a bad rating? I thought it was a decent movie, decent acting, decent story, decent special effects, like most of Cruise’s movies.

    Hate the person love the actor, he had a long string of good movies

      I think with a few changes it would be a better movie. Less screaming, a bit of a different ending and who survives. There’s some good parts though. I’ve seen people complain that the one scene with the birds is convenient and forced to make Cruise’s character important, but the soldiers were busy trying to get people out of the place and wouldn’t have necessarily noticed what he did. Note that once they understood, they took action. Also RIP the one guy who almost made it.
