No sound or visual can fix story moments and writing that doesn't make sense

Rating: 2/10 (3 April 2015)

Interstellar might be more realistically sound in creating a space-like environment than any movie before.
The Issues of the movie, whether noticed or ignored by the spectators, is for visual and audio emotion to overcome logic and sense within the story.
The beginning is pretty good. The earth is displayed very interestingly and tragically. The characters are introduced very effectively. The point of the father and kids corralling that satellite with their truck turned out to be for no real reason, but at the time it seemed a cool and important moment. But the whole story up to them taking off for space was mostly fine.
The part of the movie that bothered me, and should bother everyone, isn't the beginning and isn't the climax when McConnahey's Character enters the black hole and communicates with his daughter through time. The bookcase was a peculiar means, but overall that isn't the main issue. The issue in the film is the entire journey leading up to him entering the black hole. And then his choice to jump ship at the end.
There didn't need to 3 separate planets to choose between. Think about it. If there were two, they would have had no choice, but to go to Damon's planet after the disaster at the first planet, and then going into the black hole would have felt like the only option.
The first planet only served the point of moving the earth story ahead 23 years. It made no sense for the one crew member who stayed on the station to not spend almost all of his 23 years in stasis. Instead he spent almost all that time "not wasting his life" by accomplishing nothing by himself for 20 years. Just so when Hathaway and McConnahey returned they could be shocked by seeing in front of them all of the time that passed. And another complaint. How did they even return from the planet. They lifted off earth in a Saturn 5 style rocket, in which they left behind virtually all their liftoff power in takeoff. However, they still managed to liftoff of the 2 other planets later with just the fuselage engines. And that water planet had a stronger gravity than earth. This allowed them to have the visual and emotional drama of a rocket launch when McConnahey leaves his daughter. But there is no easy way to write in multiple other rocket engines appearing magically in space for future takeoffs. So they pretend afterward that they never needed a rocket in the first place.
Another giant complaint of mine is how earth was continually able to send video messages to the people on the missions, but the people on the missions couldn't send anything comparable back. Or if they could, they just didn't for no sensible reason. Again, this is noticeable bad writing in deciding to have visual and audio emotion overcome logic. Hathaway after making decisions that lead to a crewman's death, convincing McConnahey to go to the planet of her crush rather than the planet of best life likelihood, is another example of emotion over sense from a story writing standpoint. The sound served the same purpose much of the time. It overshadowing the dialogue so feel could mask their talking, which was often confusingly scientific,and supernatural fused with philosophical. Those two things are often at odds with each other. But they presented them as if all science deals with both. They also often described things that the characters should already known just because they are trying desperately to keep the audience in the loop with what is going on.(bad writing) Anyway. The decision to listen to Hathaway ends up being wrong. It would have bothered me even more if it was right. But it leads to meeting Matt Damon's character who turns out to be psychotic and selfish. More unsuccessful drama building with the music and visual overshadowing the story aspects which really weren't too strong. All of this leads to McConnahey's character unexpectedly(which shouldn't have been the feeling) jumping into the black hole which magically does allow him to save everything.
The story, to remain inconsistent and irritating, does the complete opposite of emotion over logic later in the story. When father and daughter finally reunite.(His daughter is now on her death bed despite no explanation to how she went form McConnahey's age to way older) McConnahey is finally there for his family. But next minute he leaves to go after Hathaway in space. Getting back to his daughter was supposed to be the main character's goal after saving the planet. But when he finally actually does return, all he can do is leave again. I don't care if the daughter was old or if she told him to go. She had an entire family that would have loved him to be a family member again. Even if it was for a week or something. We don't even know how much aging might have happened to Hathaway in that time. It would make sense to think that the black hole was what kept McConnahey's character young as time sped forward for everyone else. This means that the main character picks Hathaway's character over his daughter, who saved everyone and is now on her death bed. Hathaway meanwhile accidentally made decisions that killed a crew member, chose love over logical science as a scientist to disastrous consequences, had a father who was a traitor and liar to everyone, and she is now old and possibly dead.
WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE SKIP OVER ALL THE MOVIE'S PROBLEMS?
