Nobody's saying movies have to all be art house crap.  Nobody's saying they have to be absolutely believable.  That's called "willing suspension of disbelief."  The problem is that a movie has to be logical within it's own boundaries.  Spacecraft?  No problem.  Time travel?  No problem.  Genetically engineered monkeys evolving, dominating humans and creating a human-like society?  No problem.  However, a pilot who flies forward in time to an alien world, then flies back in time to Earth and then finds Earth subjugated by those same apes he left behind?  Big problem.  If the end had been bizare or controversial, then okay.  But this just made no sense...not even within the internal logic of the movie.  Unless you're a huge fan of Carrot Top or certain Mel Brooks films, you expect the movie - no matter how wild or out there - to follow a certain built-in logic.  An example of a movie that had an ending that made people talk and wonder what was real was Memento (About a man who lost his short-term memory and was searching for his wife's killer.)
