Interstellar - a mess of a film.

Rating: 2/10 (11 November 2014)

I watched Interstellar on an IMAX screen, I found not one of the characters sympathetic. I didn't mind the science talk, some of the dialogue was clunky. I found Dr Brands revelation and Matt Damon's character's deceit chilling. The black guy on the space flight was interesting. The emergency docking scene was good. I didn't like the scene where Cooper is crying watching the videos of his children after being on the water planet, thought it was over the top. The score was interesting but overpowering, it was hard to hear the dialogue at times. I didn't like the first ending in the black hole. The second ending on the space stationy thing had a nice touch when Murphy told Cooper to go to Amelia Brand, there was a touch of forgiveness in that, encouraging her father to go be with the daughter of Dr Brand who deceived her. Finally, every time I think of the film my head hurts, I probably won't watch another Chris Nolan film as Inception really hurt my head when I thought about that after watching it too. Chris Nolan seems to have developed into an overbearing and heavy handed director, in Interstellar there is little grace and lightness of touch pervading what he puts up on the screen, basically I think Interstellar is a mess of a film, I did enjoy little parts of it, but that doesn't make it a satisfying film. So I'm only giving it 2/10.
