If so, does that ever ruin a scene for you?

"Aquaman"? No.

"Mission Impossible"? Yeah.

Depends entirely on how likely I think it is to be in any way realistic. Often I might check the time they're underwater. 1-2min is still realistic, although very challenging for an average non-trained person. You can quite quickly train yourself up to a few minutes, some dude on YT tried went from 30s to about 4min.

However it's usually reliant on conserving oxygen, having a low pulse and no adrenaline etc. Quite the opposite of what is usually going on in movies like MI.

    I too sometimes check the time to see if it is realistic, since the only character with a real chance of surviving underwater is Guybrush Threepwood. It kind of looks implausible in every action movie, though
