We Would Not Be Ones Going Thru The Wormhole. These People, Feh.

Rating: 4/10 (26 July 2017)

This was sort of well reviewed when it was released. It is quite a burden to be original, dramatic, forward-looking, grand, important, in any space drama and have it be very good entertainment, let alone "art" (a la 2001). The makers of the movie were surely all too very conscious of the "important" space sci-fi films, which came before. Handicapped and burdened from that.
I was aware of "Interstellar", but since I do not go to many movies, or do pay-per-view, the showing on cable tonight 7-26-2017 is the first time I've seen any of it. I tuned it at the point Cooper was shown into the space lab. I knew nothing of the story at this point. What did grab me to view was knowing of some upcoming space mission and that things were not going well in people's lives and on earth. Could not tell what year this was supposed to be happening in. Or why about much of anything that mattered to the story. All I heard were the characters babbling on.
I tuned out late in the movie at the disastrous docking attempt. It was getting too bleak and cynical for me. I had to read a synopsis while viewing and decided to tune out at that particular point, and save seeing the beginning for another showing. Filling in plot made me less eager to go on. At least it did not include zombies. Tech that the US should not have had the ability to produce and launch, anymore in the world this movie conjured, was a problem in my mind. Did some billionaire fund this? Looking at these people, the should have gone all the way and everything crash and burn, with a coda of cold dark (or what, how is world supposed to be ending in "Interstellar"? earth with a few relics as the pyramids remains standing. And a half buried black monolith sticking out of the dirt. That's it!
