Good Not Great

Rating: 5/10 (17 November 2014)

Now I am a big fan of previous Chris Nolan films up until he ruined Batman with silly plot holes in the dark knight rises but interstellar could have been so much better.
It is one of those films that is too clever for its own good as its audience don't want to be educated they want to be entertained and saying that if you don't understand a little bit of the theory you sat there like what the f*ck is happening.
The cinematography on the other hand is absolutely brilliant and visually this film is outstanding, that being said the 'new worlds. that are discovered really lack imagination, one is watery the other is snowy.
The characters are not relatable whatsoever so you find yourself not caring what happens to them, the only fun characters to watch are the robots. And Matthew M, would it kill you to do an accent that doesn't make you sound like a dumb red neck and do an accent that makes you smart enough to pilot a space ship.
The story is very predictable, my brother guest the 'ghost' plot a mere 20 minutes into it. And a lot of the time you find yourself bored waiting for something amazing to happen and for the film to actually explore the wormholes. Its only the final 30 minutes of the film where something interesting happens with that predictable plot.
I wanted to like this film but it just felt like a rehash of 2001 and a lot of the film just felt very slow in the beginning and rushed in the important places.
This film was good, but I will probably never watch it again. It one of those movies where it's all been done before, so I don't understand the 9/10 given to IMDb. Interstellar just fails to reach light speed in my opinion.
Chris Nolan please stick to your broody action/psychological thrillers and dramas!
