Disappointing

Rating: 7/10 (14 November 2018)

Christopher Nolan has always been willing to sacrifice coherence and clarity of action to achieve mood and atmosphere, but that willingness has never been so apparent as in this film.
The first two hours of Interstellar achieve genuine greatness, as the film moves seamlessly from dystopian society study to ghost story to 2001: A Space Odyssey tribute to space exploration saga. And then, to Nolan's shame, we finally learn the answer to the ghost mystery, and it guts the plot we've been breathlessly following all along. It's the sci-fi equivalent of "the butler did it".
I cannot think of a better film that is more let down by its last act.
What a waste of a magnificent setup.
