Yeah I'm finding film maker mode way too dark on my Samsung oled.
I can't find any explanation of how it actually works. Does a each movie get different settings set up by the director?! Doubt it.

If you care about film and getting the closest result to what the actual thing is supposed to look like you're going to need to couple correct settings with a light controlled room for best results. Or don't use OLED, because, it simply can't achieve the brightness of cinema projection, not even close.
Personally I like the results of a 120hz OLED so much better than other options that I strongly favor a light controlled space for movie watching. For lower grade junk it's usually easy enough to swap to another viewing preset that is brighter.
However, if your room has even a little light in it, the settings would make the TV too dark.
It will also disable any effects the TV has that aren't "map video to screen 1:1" such as motion interpolation, upscaling algorithms, etc
However, Samsung TVs are not exactly known for realistic colors. So turn up the eye candy and enjoy!
