A waste of a beautiful Hans Zimmer soundtrack

Rating: 1/10 (13 May 2020)

The beautiful music by Zimmer is literally the only enjoyable thing about this film and it's such shame that this soundtrack couldn't have been used for a truly good space film instead.
The first time I saw Interstellar was at the movie theater and I actually fell asleep. Tried to watch it another time on Netflix and couldn't get farther than 1 hour in before becoming bored out of my skull. Can I just say that I love me a good space themed movie. "Moon", "Sunshine", "Passengers", "The Martian". Hell, I can even get through Kubrik's "2001: Space Odussey"! But Interstellar will definitely not be part of that list.
Now after a close friend mentioned this as being one of their favorite films of all time, I literally FORCED myself to watch through it again and man... what a waste of time. (don't tell my friend that!)
Here are my problems with Interstellar:
1) Starting with the acting. Either the actors suck, the direction sucks or the script sucks. Probably a little bit of each. The things these characters say and the way they behave just doesn't feel natural or realistic. So much corny dialogue! The characters do absolutely NOTHING to compel me or make feel anything any sense of attachment for them. Even the little girl character which was meant to tug at your heart strings does nothing for me. Don't even get me started on the robots. To be fair, the fact that I find Matthew McConaughey highly annoying, doesn't help. Come to think of it, what would have helped is if his and Matt Damon's roles would have been reversed. Matt Damon makes for a much more approachable and lovable figure, where as McConaughey has always been much more suited to be kind of a selfish bad guy.
2) So many illogical points in the film that leave you wondering: WHY? I have a tolerance for a certain amount of holes in a film, but this just has too many to bear.
3) When you want to watch a space themed movie, you're expecting to see some amazing visuals that transport you to another time and place. But even in this department, Interstellar doesn't really deliver. There are a few cool snippets, but for the most part, the movie leans very much on the dialogue between characters.
If you enjoyed the films I mentioned before, you will most likely be just as disappointed as I was by Interstellar.
