I think most of the audiences are tired of the linear movies by now as they most commonly over used in movies. With none linear movies you get to understand and learn possible important information that you may need to know in order to understand the whole movie or part of the story. Nonlinear movies bring some mysteries to movie so you can understand why the setting of location started in a certain way. It leaves the audience asking the questions why thing are the way they are. It can also make the audience think why a character behaves a certain way, all these back story are great for character development. This is why I think none linear stories are better than linear stories as the audience gets to understand the characters better than none linear movies.
While with linear story line you can't really get a characters back-story unless a character just mentions it for plot convenience. That's why I like non-linear stories better as it gives more character development and realism. More often linear movies have poor back-story in my opinion. Character development is important in movies as it can make a character actually feel alive making them seem like real people when they are just characters in movies being acted out by an actor or actress. This makes the character more believable making the audience feels more relatable to the character, which creates personal identification with those characters in movies. Personal identification is one of the main reason why people watch movies and TV shows that’s why I believe that none linear movies are better.
