I got the message they were trying to convey about gravity and time and mankind and love

Rating: 5/10 (25 September 2019)

The first time I watched this I could not wait for it to be over, Thought it was the dumbest thing I'd ever seen. Full of plot holes, recycled sci-fi ideas and just plain ridiculousness. The cast is pretty great but I had heard this was meant to be one of those game changer movies, an "epic sci-fi.? Not so much.
Well I caught it on TV yesterday and while I still found weird, lazy story flaws and things that didn't make much sense, I didn't hate it. I got the message they were trying to convey about gravity and time and mankind and love. I finally (somewhat) understood all the positive reviews out there although if you check here there are just as many bad ones
Interstellar follows former astronaut, now farmer Mathew McConaughey and his family at some future point on earth when the atmosphere has become inhospitable to human life. McConaughey stumbles upon a sort of NASA headquarters in the back of one of the cornfields and soon embarks on a dangerous mission with Ann Hathaway through a wormhole in order to find a hospitable planet, oh and some time passes.
Some of my issues; NASA is in exile right next door to the farm, how convenient, they're living in a dustbowl but only when it suits the filming schedule otherwise its cornfields, sunshine and chasing drones. McConaughey -who is a galaxy and a wormhole away- shows up in his daughters childhood bedroom 40 years later. WTH. Mind blown. Even the earlier ghosting doesn't really explain this bit of mind screwery.
