Believable worlds - taking you to other places, mundane and fantastic that don't trigger ur bullshit alarm, either using a combination of interesting cinematography, music, writing, acting (obviously props/effects etc), and/or because there is an edge, a style, a theme, a something... a 'heart' that grasps you - and you it...
Everything else - all the bullshit tax write-offs, incestuous production company collaborations, gambles, try-hards with no talent that have beguiled investors. Or... entire studios with an abundance of cash, because they are rich from selling something else, or state funded to spew some bullshit version of history or fake tale of cultural zeitgeist to appeal to some algorithmic demographic to maximise profitability - conning 'has-been', new, jobbing or pragmatic actors (and their agents) into making an ass of themselves, dangling their talents or lack of them in front of some totally unrelated agenda, that pukes its insidious deception and foul rotten offal upon the audience - who believed the reviews on some online platform that also sell the product. Also all the cheap ass projects that choose to make the 'locked in a room' trope, or any other way of blatantly minimising costs without the talent to hold the screen.
