INCREDIBLY Atrocious!

Rating: 1/10 (19 November 2014)

3 hours of senseless drivel... That is what I sat through when I watched Interstellar. The acting wasn't anything special, but the SCREENPLAY... It had to be among the worst three that I have ever sat through. In fact, I was close to walking out of it, had it not been for the laughing! In a sci-fi film like this, the expected reaction was far from the real one. Instead of a gripping, edge-of-your-seat effect, the screenplay and plot holes were so ridiculously bad, that myself and a few other cinema-goers were in stitches laughing! Like Prometheus (but somehow worse), this film had the adverse effect of inducing laughter in anybody who wasn't blinded by the interplanetary special effects. In almost all sci-fi films, there is an enormous twist in the plot or story that will strive to inspire a gasp in viewers. Some rare films have this effect with an excellently crafted twist... Not this time. The 'twist' in this film was, again, so extraordinarily awful, badly thought-out and far-fetched (don't get me wrong- these films have the right to go more far-fetched than any film has travelled before, but this one was just plain BAD), I had to shout out 'come ON!' when the credits began to roll (inspiring a few more laughs there from viewers in agreement). Even here, at at the end, there were still unanswered questions that were TO BE SOLVED at some point in the course of the film. With its mediocre acting, awful plot, vexingly atrocious 'twist', underdeveloped characters (entrusting a save-the-human-race mission to a semi-random trespasser - hellooo???) and boring disposition throughout, save your money and head to something - anything - else!
