A mess

Rating: 4/10 (22 May 2015)

Interstellar is like physics for idiots. It is a mess of Kubrickian proportions. We are to believe characters like scientists explain simple principles to other scientists? for the sake audience understanding? Insulting.
Interstellar is full of big ideas that implode into a black hole of stupidity so dense that not even light can escape it!
This movie reminded me a little of the Brian DePalma flick Mission To Mars, which is not a compliment. Mission is worse, but both directors are attempting too large a project for their abilities.
Normally exceptional actors like Gary Sinise (Mission) and Matthew McConnaughey (Interstellar) can't reach potential in either film - more than likely because the scripts are so poorly written and the lines so improbable.
Character development is weak, and imagery is strange more than fascinating. I like some of the attempts to steal from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Unfortunately the 1968 art epic still holds up better than Interstellar's science fiction attempt nearly 50 years later.
