I'm sure a lot of movies you enjoy are also quite unbelievable. But that's okay. We have a sense of imagination and we can suspend disbelief and allow ourselves to be intrigued by stories that involve magic and dragons and talking potatoes. It's kind of like hypnosis. Take Rick and Morty for example. Present the brain with something as ridiculous as a random alien guy who is part man, part bird and call him "Birdperson". Make him a really monotone character so that his only distinguishable character trait is not having a personality, and being very frank and to the point and give some nonsense words of wisdom from time to time. In the end because the fact that he's got no character and he's made and treated as if it took absolutely no effort into making him, he kind of becomes a very memorable character. He's a caricature and parody of really stiff, boring characters that serve very little purpose, and somehow they managed to make a character like that likable.
