Lost in Space

Rating: 6/10 (16 November 2014)

Take the scripts of "2001 – A Space Odyssey", "The Grapes of Wrath", "Gravity" and "The Stone Angel", and throw them all into a paper shredder, and what do you get? Interstellar. The only thing original in this picture is that Matt Damon plays a bad guy. It's an amalgam of almost ever Ray Bradbury story ever written and man in space movie ever made. If Albert Einstein couldn't explain his "Theory of Relativity" in plain English, then why would anyone expect the 20 million people who watch this to get it? Too long, too cutely ended, and too confusing. With way too many obvious flaws in physics to bother mentioning any. Liked the cinematography and the basic plot and always like Mathhew McConaughey. Anne Hatheway seemed to be lost in space and Jessica Chastain as interesting as ever. I don't regret watching this film, even enjoyed a lot of the special effects. But it loses itself in Dylan Thomas poetry and physics. And I do wish that the black hole had not been located near Saturn, but closer to Uranus...
