Great Movie, but a little over-hyped

Rating: 8/10 (8 November 2014)

I guess the key to truly enjoy Interstellar is to think of it not as a sci fi movie but as a fantasy movie set in space.
The cinematography is truly stunning, flawless. It breaks from some of the conventional shots and ideas you would expect on the space scenes and it does that with superb results. But it seems that the plot is not at the same level.
Don't get fooled by the talk about wormholes and relativity, the science behind it is closer to a Doctor Who script than to 2001. Not that I have anything against Doctor Who, I love it, but they don't try to pass it as hard sci-fi. And sometimes it goes from bad science to downright impossible and cheesy, with some pages stolen from Space Cowboys or Armaggedon.
And that is a shame, because this could have been one of the best movies ever, and the spiritual successor to 2001, but it does not have the courage to do so, opting for a more commercial and accessible script, with some memorable moments mixed with some dialogues I want to forget.
It is a great movie and you should definitely see it, just avoid falling for those 10/10 reviews.
