Wrong... Although enjoyable with very beautiful graphics, there were to many small inaccuracies in the story to make it close to a good movie. Interstellar tries to be a serious science fiction space movie, however it chose to ignore many basic rules of physics. At first I was able to see past most of them, but they add up fast. Especially in a movie of this length they also sum up to a very large number.

For me one of the biggest annoyances were the robots in the story. At first I actually thought some idiot edited the movie and replaced all normal/useful/decent robots with the strange unpractical things that are in the movie I saw. But apparently there are intended to look like that (likely because they spend all budget on the beautiful graphics and had no more money for the robots...).

If you read elsewhere that this movie has a very advanced story and is based on complicated science, keep in mind that that is not true! It is a enjoyable movie, but do not expect plausible physics or a deep and advanced story. It is a simple sci-fi movie with a simple story and beautiful graphics (6/10).… Expand

Even, if it was plot-perfect picture, 3 hours is a long time to keep your attention without getting tiresome or unfocused. And let me tell you - it is not plot perfect. Far from it. It is also hardly believable (at its own terms) and some of its core ideas are poorly explained (if not at all). It tries to hit an emotional nerve, which just comes out as purely annoying most of the times (at least for me), but also succeeds occasionally. And when it does, it still counts.
From purely entertaining (and fictitious) point of view, it does rather well. But you should perceive yourself as not very intelligent watcher to really let this one go. That was the main problem for me, - it tries to make some points, but I felt rather misguided. I also felt the movie considers me not that smart and even treats me a bit condescendingly.
All in all, it is an entertaining watch and you'll appreciate it more if you are ready to make some compromises. And one more thing - it should have been at least half an hour shorter.… Expand

Few movies can match both the intelligence and imagination brought forth by Interstellar, which I found has everything I could ever want in a movie. Not a moment goes by that feels overly bland or useless - quite the feat given the 2 hrs. 50Few movies can match both the intelligence and imagination brought forth by Interstellar, which I found has everything I could ever want in a movie. Not a moment goes by that feels overly bland or useless - quite the feat given the 2 hrs. 50 minutes total runtime. Interstellar does carry a lot of science and theories that are used throughout the film to make sense of what is happening. This gives a lot of creative license to Christopher Nolan, who progresses the story through creativity without ejecting audiences uncontrollably. The great thing about Nolan's approach in Interstellar is that we can't really say for sure he's right or wrong, because the movie operates on existing facts and theories in regards to space and time. But what really anchors this movie is the sentiment of relationships - of how love is an immeasurable force that has yet to be quantified or measured in any meaningful way. And, without using dialogue or narration, the "5th dimension" experience later in the movie is somewhat explained by the final seconds of the film (not a spoiler) - something I think people could have missed on a first pass. If you loved Gravity, you're like to praise Interstellar ten-fold.… Expand

Entretanto, não se trata de uma cópia barata e sim de um grande filme com a mesma linha do '2001'. Com certeza não é o tipo de filme que vai agradar a todos, entretanto, se você é fã de ficção científica, se você assim como eu considera '2001: Uma Odisseia no Espaço' um dos melhores filmes da história do cinema, ou se você simplesmente gosta de apreciar uma grande produção, um excelente filme muito bem feito, eu indico 100% esse filme!!!

Especially the "book case" scene near the end of the movie. I can't believe the high ratings this movie got. Walking to my car there were three woman and a guy going in the same direction. One of the woman asked me what I thought of it. I told them I though it was a piece of sh....! All three woman yelled "Yes!!!" and started in on the poor guy that was with them.

One of the greatest movies of all time, tied with Star Wars for best sci-fi although as it pertains to science, Interstellar is above and beyond even that high bar set by Star Wars. A must see for any sci-fi junkie.

Interstellar challenges not only the world we live in but also the galaxy and Science. The director went quite beyond this time, beyond even the knowledge people have nowadays and pictured a believable future and things that could actually happen and exist. Besides, it does a pretty intense discussion about family and human relationships. Although Caine's aging was weird and Affleck was very disposable in the story, Interstellar works and it works a lot. If it's not appreciated they way it deserves nowadays, in the future it will. Way to go Nolan!… Expand

The story is about a team of explorers undertakes the most important mission in human history; traveling beyond this galaxy to discover whether mankind has a future among the stars.

Christopher Nolan once said that 2001: A space odyssey was his all time favorite film and he wanted to do a small tribute to his work in Nolan's next film, and then comes Interstellar a movie that will put a smile on Kubrick face if he was alive today, because Interstellar is one of the best movie of 2014 and the best movie experience.

I saw this movie in IMAX and all through out this film I felt like I was in space floating around with Mconaughey and Anne Hathaway. I had that feeling that I was going deep into space just like are main character's, going deep into space just like the viewing auditions and me.

The visual effect's in this movie are some of the most stunning, beautiful and Jaw dropping effect's I've seen since well 2001: A Space Odyssey. The performances were brilliant, The cinematography was breathtaking and hard to look away. The directing by Christopher Nolan and let me get this out there, this man is a true director; he knows cinema and knows how to interested people into seeing he's films and I'm still shocked that he hasn't won a Oscar for that.

Now most people or critics have said that last third of this movie ruined the movie for them, but I actually like the ending to the movie, it's new for Nolan because he always ends on a deep and cold note, but this movie didn't and I didn't mind it.

My only nick pick with the movie is some of the character's in this movie wasn't all that interesting. Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain are the only character's that to me were interesting and I cared for them, but the rest of the character's I didn't really care for.

Overall Interstellar is a mind-blowing movie with fantastic visual's with a interesting story line that will keep you interested.… Expand

I had high hopes for this film, and as the end credits rolled I was not dissapointed. This films core focus is 'is humanity able to cope psychologically' when exposed to such powerful time bending forces of relativity.

The SFX are pretty epic, and you get a real sense of being with them on their voyage through time and space.
The ending is great, and ties the entire film together, I appreciate a lot of people say its far fetched, but its quite plausible and very forward thinking in theory, it will open your mind.
My only minor criticism would be, for me, that the film is a little too emotional with regards to coop and his family (yes i was hiding the fact i was quite choked at the cinema through various scenes) but I guess that was the films core premise.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would like to start by saying I have done nothing but blow smoke up this films backside from day one. It seemed like an eternity from the first online Nolan rumblings to the cinema release, which is ironic because time doesn't actually exist! :/
The wait was more than worth it thus I continue to blow smoke up this films backside.

Aside from an ageing, dithering Michael Caine, the cast were, er, cast perfectly. Matthew McConaughey plays a blinder. He has kind of fallen into being typecast a little, his characters seem to be all based on late 20th Century Texan cowboys, kind of "yee haw" -ing and such. Not a bad thing, just saying. The emotions he projects were stunning and I fail to see why some reviews have ripped him apart for this.
I understand why some reviewers don't agree with how good this film is, as its a kind of Marmite film. To some this was over the top ridiculousness that made no sense.
To me it was the complete opposite. Why? - I'm yet to be able to explain it without sounding like a hippy that had been left in the desert to go mad! Fundamentally, the way it explains time and dimension hit a chord with me. I get where the film wants us to go.
I have read a few articles on how the black hole Gargantua defies all current theories and that the time scales depicted when going back and forth simply do not add up - so what, its a movie, its not supposed to rewrite the four laws of thermodynamics or try to win a Nobel Prize in physics - the best it could hope for is an Oscar. And it did, just one, which makes me happy as, if it cleared up, like the hideous Gravity did, it fear it would have fallen into the commercial cheapness of film history.
Thankfully, it didn't break box office records, it upset a lot of critics and it confused the **** out of most who watched it, result in my book!
A grower that will have fanboys creaming themselves for years.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Incredibly boring and self indulgent! Why do "space opera" movies have to be such a slog. Anne Hathaway kept driving home the fact that she's supposed to be a scientist and in then middle of the movie starts all this crap about involving love into the equation. WTH was that? Matt Damon serves to real purpose in this movie, in fact most of the peripheral cast is useless and one note in this feature. Subtlety is definitely not Nolan's strong point as he sees fit to explain a lot of details in such a scripted and droll manner almost like people are simply reading off the cue cards. This movie is 1 1/2 hrs too long. The robots are really laughable and cringe inducing. I feel embarassed for Nolan especially the part where Hathaway's character gets herself into a jam due to stubborness and stupidity. That scene was really awful and the way one of the characters died was pathetic. Just watch this on Blu-ray so you're not forced to sit throught the whole thing. Collapse… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The film has a beginning, a middle, and an ending, and it does not rely entirely on brainless action and fiery explosions to keep the audience awake, and it strives to say significant things of a thematic nature, though at the risk of turning melodramatic.

Now for the bad news. A significant amount of what the cast says is either too quiet to be clearly discerned, or is smothered by the score. The characters spend a great deal of time debating things that, by any reasonable standard, should have been thoroughly debated and planned for before anyone suited up for a ride in a space ship. One character effectively stranded in space is heard to say that he has been waiting for 20 years, leading me to wonder what he did for food, and in a film that runs dangerously close to three hours I fail to see why a moment or two was not devoted to explaining what he did for food.

The film is very long and it feels long. It feels especially long in the beginning, perhaps because I saw and heard nothing to clearly signpost where the film was, where it was going, and why the events of the early scenes should matter. And, frankly, I felt bored enough to have walked out.

Furthermore, I have to agree with another reviewer's criticism of the film's climax, which appears to be telling us that the power of love, coupled with the magic of a black hole, can defeat both time and space--at which point the film exits the realm of science fiction and enters into science fantasy.

The problem here, I suppose, is that the authors of this film try to explain the inexplicable. If they had simply let things happen and left audience members to devise their own theories "Interstellar" might have seemed cast more in the mold of a 2001, rather than a flawed space fantasy.

I debated giving the film a "6", but in the end I didn't really like it and would not recommend it to friends.… Expand

The films story is set in a futuristic Earth, and our main protagonist is Copper, a former space pilot, now farmer and family man has to deal with the hardship of how Earth is becoming unstable to live in and he has to be sent to space to find a new home to save the excising humanity on a dying planet, but with that in mind he has to leave his family on Earth, especially his daughter Murph who since she's the youngest she is getting all emotional about her dad leaving, but what so awesome about this film is how Cooper s racing against time to get back to his kids because time will slow down for him while in space and there is a horror him missing his kids lives and they'll be getting older while he's still in space.

Casting was done really well and Matthew McConaughey is brilliant as Copper, he delivers in every single way for his role, and Jessica Chastain is amazing, I can just watch her and her alone in a film and I'd still be entertained, but there were a few characters I didn't have any interest in but even they had their moments. Christopher Nolen definitely has changed cinematic history with the amazing visuals, it's absolutely amazing of how far we can go in film making.

Interstellar is defiantly a must see film, if it's gone from your local cinema I'd defiantly recommend it on Blu-Ray because it's so good and I most certainly will, however it is a 3hr film but it's well worth it. If you go to see Interstellar, be prepared to not only see a great film but experience an awesome adventure.… Expand

It's not all ridiculous, oh wait it actually is but ridiculous can still be some what entertaining.
The space/time narrative, the planets and blackwhole was poorly executed... but at least they had these elements.
Ultimately I wasn't expecting much (I tend not to after Prometheus) and it didn't deliver, scifi in action movies like the Avengers or Guardians of the Galaxy is more convincing... at least they don't send humans on 100 year missions to find habitable planets in a little shuttle!

TheI read through many of the negative criticisms of Interstellar, trying to figure out why I could be so wrong. I thought that this was the best movie I had ever seen. The Academy Awards snubbed the movie and I wondered why. I still do.

The critics seemed focused on the story. I loved it. Some felt it too long. (It should have had an intermission.)

But if you like science fiction, go.

I think this is the first movie that may be very different truly on anything other than a huge screen and wonder how many people saw it in Imax. I have yet to see it on a small screen.

I also wonder why it was stiffed by the Academy Awards. Maybe it was the actors,who include a very religious lead actor.

The bottom line is that if you see a single word in any criticism that shows that you should ignore it, that word is boring. This movie is not boring in any of its nearly three hours it will cost you.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Half good, half American - good ol' American farmboy is all things to all people and saves the world, an excess of American flags flying in far away galaxies, American myths propagated (like the claim that broad altruism hasn't yet evolved, then displaying it to show how 'transcendent' they are), and American tropes abused (wise cracking robot sidekick - does everything have to be comedy?). Reminded me vaguely of the first season of Farscape (which was pretty good). There was another good hour or two left in the story that I would have liked to see, maybe they'll make a few sequels.

They left out an explanation of the blight... because no explanation could make sense and tie together the narratives they are selling. "6 billion people consumed too much" can't explain every last person dying or the mysterious plant contagion. Humanity would eat bacteria grown under nuclear light if it came to it. And what's with the coughing? - dust masks are cheap. It's cinematic hand-waving trying to show general malaise because they chose not to provide a coherent back story. And I was annoyed by our supposedly smart hero asking, what should be for him, stupid questions to give the movie an excuse to explain things to the lay-viewer, surely that could have been done less conspicuously.

As much as I liked this movie, sadly it's more "American spirit conquers science" than science fiction. I was going to call it "love conquers science" but you don't even really feel the love like in Frequency (another good "love conquers reality" kind of movie).

I'm sad that Hollywood has made yet another supernatural action-comedy masquerading as science fiction.

And shouldn't I have been surprised by the father being the 'ghost'? Isn't that how this kind of thing is suppose to work? Or do they foreshadow the twists so the viewer feels smart when they figure it out? And a happy ending was never in doubt... right from the beginning you knew they are going to 'deus ex machina' their way to victory... barely any tension at all.

Really the only good parts were the parts where you thought the movie was about to get interesting (but never did) - when it was offer false anticipation of being a good movie, like the ending.

And yet grading it on a curve, I give it 8/10.… Expand

I'm huge fans of physics, cosmology, astronomy and everything what is associated with that, but this movie just breaks apart in the middle of it. I mean seriously, Nolan went to far with his imagination, he should have stick with the sci-fi genre, but instead he involves some stupid **** about love. I'm hardly trying to understand reasoning of doing such unexpected twist that is almost most cheesy twist in sci-fi movies history.

On the other hand I can't say it's a bad movie. The visuals are great, part of the plot is decent, acting is very good (especially for a sci-fi movie), so I'm don't even know what to think, how should I rate it.

Ok, so finally I think Nolan should stick with planet Earth and not go into space again, I mean never again. I can give it 7/10 for the good parts… Expand

Interstellar, although far from the comparisons with 2001: A SpaceThe storm of love and hate Interstellar has gotten since its release, and the hype it generated before it tells more about the stubborn fanbase Nolan has than his films. Interstellar, although far from the comparisons with 2001: A Space Odyssey, shares with the Kubrick movie the feeling that the story is not really about space.

People have complained about plot holes. There are some, pretty clearly, and a physicist would tell you those plot holes make the movie completely unbelievable, but some of the theories presented in Interstellar have no reason not to be possible. Anyway, this is not Discovery Channel, so we should just enjoy what we see and not dig much further away from the screen.

Matthew McConaughey really has hit a positive streak this last couple of years, and his acting here is perfectly on pitch, together with Jessica Chastain's. Unfortunately I can't say the same for Anne Hathaway, or Matt Damon. Or Wes Bentley.

The effects have some weird flaws that only appear sometimes during the movie, in certain scenes - the CGI there looks from 20 years ago, but then goes back to modern-looking in the next scene. The cinematography is not spectacular like it could have been, especially since the majority of the movie takes place either inside the spaceship or on Earth, so that wouldn't have been so expensive to achieve.

All in all, a very interesting plot (if you forget about the actual science) and an excellent performance by McConaughey, but on the technical side it falls a bit short. And by the way, I cannot understand for the world why the Oscars snub this while last year Gravity (a much dimmer, more ridiculous, and essentially uglier movie) managed to win 7. Maybe Nolan doesn't deserve Best Director, and Interstellar doesn't deserve Best Picture, but this movie is light years ahead of Gravity - pun intended.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, I'm not really sure why people are getting over-excited about this movie - is it because of Nolan or in-depth sci-fi element in the plot. Some even say the movie is complicated which not many people can understand.

From what I can gather and putting aside the sci-fi wow effect, it's all about human's survival of the fittest nature shown through each characters. That's the main drive force of the movie.

Nolan put a lot of effort in making every scene count and important thus explains why the length -trust me it's still interesting though. However, the film's actual excitement is only kicking off when Cooper's journey into the black hole.

Talking about Coop, Matthew's performance was top-notch.

I have seen people praise on how beautiful the outer-space portrayal, I think they never seen the movie Gravity before.

In the end, it's probably an almost realistic portrayal of outer-space exploration from to end to end along with some space/time theory explanation. The time relativity scene (HUGE tsunami scene) was a bomb though.… Expand

Despite an expanded category than now could have 10 nominations to account for big blockbusters like this, one of the best pictures of the year was not among them. Why? Interstellar is a great movie. It is the reason we go to watch movies. It isn't some popcorn flick you go watch to kill time on the weekends, it is a deep, epic space that you want to see opening night and it is that good. It has elements from everything, from the epic special affects and feel of space of Gravity, to a strong and heartfelt love story of a man and his daughter. It missed on some stuff, sure, some of the dialogue wasn't perfect and it wasn't as full of an ending as it could have been, but it did something very movies did nowadays, it aimed huge. It might not have quite measured up to its massive expectations, but it tried and you could feel it in an epic way you'll never get from a marvel movie, or even an Indie. This was a great movie, and this is how big blockbusters should be made. With passion and talent unmatched, Christopher Nolan has made something incredible. A classic.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I saw Interstellar with really high expectations because 2 of my friends said it was amazing. They were right! The movie opens up with a segment about earth. It has basically turned to s*** and there are dust storms frequently. Not to mention the lack of crops and wildlife. Basically, as said by Michael Caine, "Your daughter's generation will be the last on earth." Not a good sign. So Michael Caine's character asks Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) to take a long and dangerous journey into space in the hopes of saving the human race. The original plan was to bring everyone off of Earth and repopulate on another world. But that plan, as revealed in the movie, is not possible. So they are forced to go with plan B, which was to abandon everyone on earth and start a new colony with their frozen human embryos on their ship. But before that part of the story, they visit two planets. A water planet and an ice planet. The water planet is made entirely of shallow water and occasionally has cloud-high waves that sweep the planet and eliminate any life that may be in that area. So... Not the best place to setup a human colony because the original scientist who landed there was most likely hit by one of those waves as well as Cooper's third crew member. The second planet they visit is entirely made of ice and is very visually appealing to the eye. There, they meet another scientist who seemed so grateful to be freed. But, he turns out to be a selfish man because he abandons Cooper's crew and attempts to dock on their spaceship. He failed however, and wrecked their ship in the process. But Cooper manages to escape the planted with Anne Hathaway and manages to dock on the wrecked spaceship. But seeing that all hope is lost, he decides to take a chance and uses the black hole's force to propel her from the ship, but only her. He proceeds to enter the black hole and enters the time dimension where time is instead physical instead of figurative. From there he manages to send a message on his daughter's watch and they figure it out. He then escapes the time dimension and is luckily found by a team of searchers by Saturn. He then finds himself at Cooper station (named after his daughter) which orbits Saturn. He then gets a chance to see his daughter one last time, who is now at least 40 years older than him. Interstellar does have a very sad ending which made me tear up I have to admit. But overall, Interstellar is a compelling Sci-Fi movie with great performances, especially by Matthew McConaughey. 9/10 (Awesome)… Expand

The next work of Christopher Nolan arrives with much more strength than Inception, not only because we jump from dreamsInterstellar is a mind-blowing movie, there is no way to summarize it in order to convince the audience to go see it. The next work of Christopher Nolan arrives with much more strength than Inception, not only because we jump from dreams to space, but also because is noticeable the consolidation that reached this director. First is the setting of the story, the life of mankind in the Earth has come to an end, although the interesting thing is how Nolan shows it, from the point of view of a family. Here it is clear the importance that acquires the human side in the story (which is also present in Nolan's filmography), and this theme from the beginning to the end is the protagonist. Some examples are the decision that Cooper has to make, whether going to space but miss seeing his children grow or stay; and the other one is probably the most heartbreaking scene of the movie, when the protagonist sees the compilation video (astonishing performance btw). This whole thing aims to evaluate human behavior, sometimes subconsciously (Inception, Memento) and others rationally (Interstellar), but both about survival instincts. Another amazing things about the picture are: the visual effects, obviously, how the crew gather the current info and theories about the aspect of a real dark hole; second, how it exhibits the concept of relativity; and finally, the representation of time as a tangible dimension. The film keeps you on the edge of your seat for nearly 3 hours, definitely nothing like what has been seen before.… Expand

The film have a heavy impact by watching the first time. The constellation of the father and the daughter is so exiting and full of experience. The movie took my emotion and throw it though the atmosphere to the highest point even possible.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Matthew McConaughey, the decent soundtrack, and the visuals are the only reasons to see this movie. The characters around him fail to demonstrate anything about themselves, the ambitious movie tackles many concepts in the worst setting of outer space. Christopher Nolan's brilliance proves to be shadowed by his past inability to demonstrate that he's a human being with emotions and feelings too. Tough film to nitpick, but tough film to enjoy with a lot of the crying and constant depressive sad moments throughout. Its about saving the Earth, and at least Cooper decides to change his views in the weird unexplainable 3rd act. Entertaining movie, if you see it, see it in IMAX, otherwise, not your moneys worth.… Expand

A very entertaining movie that starts slow but gradually develops into a simple plot covered behind a whole bunch of scientific technicisms. One of the best sci-fi movies from the last decade with great special effects and CGI.

Too hard to follow. Way too long. The only good thing was that the time-space subject was fascinating. Not a great movie. I recommend you just read up on time-space, and skip the movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoilers: This is one of the best films I've ever seen. Intelligent, mind expanding, meaningful, with a lot to say about the human condition. IMO a better film that 2001, primarily to the fact that it gives you an emotional investment in everything you see.

I feel however compelled to answer the people who sneer that this film posits love as a physical dimension, Anne Hatthaway's character puts forward this desperate argument when she is clutching at straws to convince her fellow astronauts to rescue her partner. She is rationalising her emotional need in a way that she hopes will convince the other scientists, and they overrule her because it is quite clear she is acting irrationally - this is not spelled out for the audience - but you should not confuse the words of a character for reality. The film does not say that love is another (physical) dimension - the character does!

Secondly, the idea that it flawed because the world is save by love crossing dimensions is also incorrect - this is what is known as a metaphor! No "force of love" crosses the dimension. The father is talking about the human condition and meaning. People of a rationalistic and non-poetic disposition seem unable to grasp this and I've heard it said many times. If love saves the universe - it's because of the attachment (the bond) that he had with his daughter that makes her go back and try and solve the puzzle of the gravity anomaly (the "aliens" know this), she senses her father has something to do with it - it makes the anomaly meaningful to her. There is nothing supernatural about it, it's psychology and the parent / child bond. So perhaps love does save the day - but miraculously it is done in a plausible way.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I, personally, found this movie breathtaking. I will not try to impress anyone with Webster's Dictionary cited words, unlike many of these reviews. This movie was thoroughly thought out and must have taken a great deal of creativity and research. A large deal of the negative reviews for this movie are pointing out scientific "inaccuracies". I can understand how someone who strongly believes in a certain theory may dislike the claims this movie, but those claims are what make this movie wonderful. Space is impossible to truly comprehend, No human has ever been through a wormhole, nor inside a black hole therefore they cannot judge Nolan's theories of these things for they can only attempt to dispel them with theories of their own.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. my first review on metacritic. yay. too bad it's on the negative side of things.. i mean to start, even though i'm a total scifi-nut, the general plot of the movie seemed nonsensical to me. first off : the dustbowl blight calamity seemed adoptable, even via today's technology, like adopting aquaponics and vertical urban farming systems on a massive scale to boost production and genetically engineer crops to be more blight resistant.

which is why the movie's main hook for selling us the "we aren't supposed to save this world, we're supposed to leave it" propaganda falls a bit flat. coz i think they should've chosen the "we leave this planet to explore space via our own choice, not because we have no other choice left" approach. which feels more apt. (or at the very least, cook up a more plausible earth-destroying calamity than crop blight.. lol)

then there's the wormholes left by seemingly benevolent aliens which gave humans this russian roulette-like options for survival instead of just pointing us at the right direction in the first place, as well as the gravitational relativistic time message sent by space dad inside a room in the blackhole prepped by aliens, were blatant examples of deus ex machina, which is just another lame way of saying "we ran out of plausible ideas, so here's some metaphysical/supernatural crap so we can just dumb it down to an emotional level"

besides, benevolent highly intelligent aliens going through all that round-about trouble seemed highly inefficient to me. if the nolan brothers were so adamant to put benevolent aliens in their plot, the very least they could've done is made them efficient. the problem is that benevolent highly intelligent aliens would probably just drop down on earth, learn basic human language, then write.. "build more aquaponic systems to solve your dustbowl crop blight problems.. stupid. here, take these blight resistant seeds and start planting.. adieu".. problem solved.

interstellar is like the recent equivalent of the movie "Contact", and stumbling upon the same lame metaphysical plot-hole of space dads. so it's kinda hard to recommend this movie other than for the "scientifically accurate" visual effects which the scientific community seems to be applauding it for..

anyways, is it so much to ask for a scifi movie where a "problem" is actually solved by plausible "solutions"?
i mean, it's scifi for chrissakes, a good chunk of the target audience tend to get quite cerebral on their tech musings, so if the problem-solution aspect isn't very interesting in the first place, then that should've given the nolan brothers the clue to rewrite it from a different angle.

so to top things off, after watching interstellar, the only wormhole that' was actually of great import was the flimsy connection between plot point A to plot point B.. it's like a whole new inception level of mind-numbing madness.… Expand

It's incredible the surprises that Chris can gave us and as always it is absolutely impossible to say the ending for every movie he mades.

Sometimes lousy endings can ruin an otherwise-solid film, and Interstellar has become, for me, the go-to example of such blunders.
While some of my friends really enjoyed how the end played out, I could not help but sit back and wonder ifSometimes lousy endings can ruin an otherwise-solid film, and Interstellar has become, for me, the go-to example of such blunders.
While some of my friends really enjoyed how the end played out, I could not help but sit back and wonder if Big Bird had received a writing credit for the climax and finale, as there was no longer an ounce remaining of the anticipation, wonder, grit, tension or brutality the film had spent so much time developing beforehand.
The story revolves around a dying earth and a quest by astronauts through an inexplicably-convenient wormhole to search out new planets capable of sustaining life. The initial search reveals a few likely new homes and a second team, led by NASA-pilot-turned-farmer Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), ventures through the anomaly to make contact with their most viable options.
While there’s a lot of cool stuff to geek out over, including black hole physics and theories behind long-distance space travel, these tantalizing plot points do not make up for how outstandingly clichéd and predictable the end wound up being. I mean, I feel like I spent the last half hour in the theater getting beat over the head with a two-by-four wrapped in barbed wire that had “plot device” burned into the side of it. I get it. It’s a happy ending for an otherwise-not-happy movie. If I had known, I would have waited until it came out on DVD.
And all of this could have been overlooked, except that it came from Director Christopher Nolan, the man who gave us Inception, The Prestige, Memento and Following, among other suspense-filled brain-teasers. I wanted exactly that kind of movie when I went to watch Interstellar, and was so outstandingly underwhelmed with what I got.
Interstellar makes me very nervous to watch whatever film Nolan comes up with next. But the opportunity to come across another of his knock-it-out-of-the-park films will likely outweigh such inhibitions, like the ending of Interstellar outweighed the rest of the movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Somewhere on the path to juxtaposing the story of the imminent death by starvation of humanity on Earth against a desperate search for a new planetary home (hopefully to not similarly despoil), the authors of "Interstellar" forgot to consider the audience and instead created a far too long, far too arcane and far too pet film. "Interstellar" is a kissin' cousin to the equally pet, pseudo mind-blowing, con man sleight-of-hand "Inception."

A bitter taste is left in the mouth by a self-satisfied script constantly trumpeting a specialness that, alas, is not at all special.

Audiences have been beat to death by the tropes, plot elements and dialogue seen so many times before. For example, the "Pursued By Demons Retired ______ Forced Back Into Service" trope.

Women, as in most films, are relegated to the back of the bus. When will writers and filmmakers wake up to the richness in woman's hearts and minds - even a cold scientist's ticker and noggin?

Face-down-death awaits the character with the fewest lines and closeup. (Much like the Bic 'Red Shirts' in "Star Trek" you knew would never make it to the end credits.)

An intelligent young woman becomes hysterical because Daddy's leaving, yet her intellect does not grasp his mission is important: To save her and the rest of the world. Beside, Daddy didn't explain, at least not on camera.

Matt Damon resurrects from hypersleep to wreak havoc as in the hackneyed "Don't Astronauts on "The Twilight Zone" Pass Basic Psych Tests?" plot element.

Don't forget the Dead Wife and Wise Grandpa tropes.

Wonder is non-existent. That's quite a feat as few films have led us through a wormhole. "Black Hole" did a better job. At least the mysterious passage in Disney's opus didn't suggest injection into a globule borrowed from the coda of "2001: A Space Odyssey." (Also cobbed from Kubrick's masterpiece are the more human than humans (articulated) computers.)

Cinematic corn served warm with a schmear of butter is quite delicious. Corn served cold by trying-too-hard actors sittin' on the porch waxin' philosophical is a dish best passed to the person sitting on your right.

There are nonsensical interviews of dust storm survivors who describe what the special effects department has just shown. There's no lack of understanding why the run time is 169 minutes. The dogged determination to not self-edit and lose script pages underscores either Nolan's lack of being a good audience or not caring about audiences - the latter a quality indicative of too many contemporary filmmakers.

The ending leads to head scratching that, in another film, would elicit laughs from the audience. Poltergeists my patootie!

"Interstellar" veers uncomfortably close to complete train wreck, but there are a few nice touches. While derivative, the articulated computers are cool. That mankind can solve mankind's problems without an advanced alien intelligence, God or other deus ex machina is the one original idea - and it's a good one.

Save very few elements to recommend it, "Interstellar" is a really, really long bore pretending importance. There's nothing worse than films of that ilk.… Expand

Christopher Nolan is merely a creator of dumb, empty spectacle. Comparing Interstellar to 2001 is like comparing Stephen King to Dostoevsky. The characters are shallow and vapid. The script is a collection of dumb cliches about family and love guaranteed to rope in the multiplex crowd. The score is strident and bombastic. Etc. Interstellar is the exact OPPOSITE of 2001 in every way, on every level--a stupid Hollywood crowd pleaser appealing to both shallow sci-fi and video game brains, instead of a profound mockery of the pretensions of sci-fi and scientific rationalism itself in the face of the unknowable chaos of the universe in 2001. Kubrick merely used Arthur C. Clarke in order to make fun of his kind of enthusiasm for and overconfidence in human rational understanding. Interstellar is right down on Arthur C. Clarke's level. No wonder it will be a much bigger hit than 2001 was, since 2001 naturally truly baffled people when it came out, whereas Intstellar provides a sort of momentary sense of disorientation while ending Hollywood style in a dumb "explanation" of it all, not to mention ending with the idiotic combo of the hero completing his "quest" AND fulfilling the inevitable Hollywood "love" theme, all in one dumb gesture. Contrast that ending with Kubrick's deliberate total subversion of Hollywood, not just in 2001 but in every film he ever made. There was a reason Kubrick lived in London.… Expand

First off, let's just ignore all the **** science and plot holes and just go straight into the awful music. The music is always present in the movie, it's largely always the same track, and many times it is so loud that you can't even hear what the people are saying. The story is made up of a bunch of sub-stories that are fairly fragmented, predictable, and boring. This is also an extremely long movie, it seems like every aspect is drawn out for no reason at all and you'll find yourself asking, "When does it END!?"

Now, lets get into this ridiculous movie. (SPOILERS AHEAD! BUT, if you want the just of it, the science in the movie is about as realistic as Star Wars)

Avoiding the "fifth dimensional beings thing" here is a list of ridiculousness that I noticed:

1. It requires a gigantic amount of thrust to propel the initial space craft into orbit, yet, the first planet they go to has 130% of Earth's Gravity and they take off from it with no problem at all.

2. The planets they are searching for have no star. They have a black hole and a neutron star, both of which are not really able to emit the light necessary for human survival.

3. How in the world can it be easier to colonize an entirely new planet completely starting from scratch than to figure out a way to fix the problems on Earth? They obviously had water and gas, plenty of resources, they had ridiculously advanced robots, and yet the entire human race is brought to its knees and somehow our technology is capable of colonizing a new planet rather than fixing the few issues on the current one.

4. Yeah... they are sitting directly outside the event horizon of a black hole. Just because you are outside of the event horizon doesn't make you safe. The event horizon is where LIGHT can not escape anymore, if this little space craft needed a three stage rocket to escape Earth's gravity there is no way that that little space craft could resist the extremely gigantic pull of the black hole.

5. They completely "sci-fi fantasied" the black hole. Apparently, the black hole is a portal to a pocket of space in which an infinite amount of realities exist laid out in order relative to time (simulating how it would be if we could experience time as a physical dimension). Obviously, this is a very old trope in sci-fi movies that a black hole is a portal to an alternate dimension... Boring as well as ridiculous

6. In the alternate part of the story, apparently the protagonist comes up with a way to defy gravity. Yup.

Overall, I went into the movie being led to believe it was a semi-realistic space film and ended up with a ridiculous sci-fi fantasy film with awful audio and a boring plot.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I approached this film with trepidation after reading a lot of the negative reviews, but having seen it, I felt compelled to add to the growing praise it has received.

This is one of the most awe-inspiring films I have seen for a long time. The emotional development of the characters was just perfect, and while certain plot developments were dropped into conversations earlier in the film, I can understand why this was done. It was to aid people who seem unable to comprehend complicated plot structure, in this respect Nolan failed, as a lot of people still seemed to be in the dark.

This film is sci-"fi", so the third act, however fantastical, was not meant to be grounded in reality. Even so, the tesseract created by our descendants, and their ability to manipulate gravity and consequently time, alludes to unfathomable technology from our current technological viewpoint. The black hole could have been an artificial construct used as a teaching tool to transfer knowledge from a 5th to a 3rd dimensional being. Time being represented as a "physical" environment in this 5th dimensional space, such as the 2 dimensional wormhole was represented as a sphere in 3 dimensional space.

From the visuals (which were just awe-inspiring) to the decision to allow atmospheric sound and music to mask the dialogue in places, representing either the immensity of the situation or the sheer emotional trauma at such points.

I love that in this day and age, a Hollywood director could create such a piece which transcends the mundanity of daily (current) societal games and norms, and directs our gaze to the ineffable majesty of a greater reality which exists all around us.

I can't wait to watch this again.… Expand
