Could do better (*Spoiler alert*)

Rating: 1/10 (14 February 2015)

(Spoiler Alert!)
I can't believe that there are so many glowing reviews of this movie. On the plus side: brilliant CG, FX, cinematography. On the negative side: the awful acting, the terrible plot, the script, the hokey comic book physics explained for the lowest common denominator in the audience.
I really liked McConaughey in Dallas Buyer's Club - by far the best thing he's done to date. But in this movie? Just another fly-by-the- seat-of-the-pants astronaut, risking everything and everyone, but it all works out in the end. Of course.
Way too much time at the start of the movie setting up the ending, which came as no surprise whatsoever, thanks to the 'ghost'. And then we discover that 'love conquers all'. Including science. Of course.
Probably most of the reason I rated this so low is because with a name like 'Interstellar' I was expecting way too much depth on the intricacies of theoretical interstellar travel, the time relativity concept, et al. Sigh.
And the smart-ass, wisecracking robot was the last straw.
Just. So. Bad.
