A satisfactory movie if you have no access to IMDb

Rating: 6/10 (16 October 2015)

Christopher Nolan directed the dark knight trilogy, in my view the greatest super hero trilogy ever. He also directed a fantastic sci fi Dream movie, inception. Perhaps my hopes were too high for this movie, I don't know. The point is, this is a film that wants to be great, but loses momentum. The first two thirds are well put together, introducing us to the characters and setting. The film has some great moments, but sadly nine out of ten of theme happen before the films final act. I call this the Prometheus of Christopher Nolan's repertoire, it falls apart towards the end, with a villain with nearly no motivation bringing the epic spectacle of suspense and mystery crashing down in a fireball of explosions, crummy dialogue and unexplained plot holes. I do not call this movie 'bad' at all. The second act is very well put together, and I was crying in my seat while watching it, hoping against hope that it would all turn out. However, I can't give this any more than a 6, the ending brings up questions and concepts the film couldn't hope to satisfy, and that brings me on to the ending. A disappointing, unsatisfactory conclusion, where if it were any other director everyone would be thinking that they were doing drugs while on script. (Sigh) Interstellar is in no way bad as such, with great acting and superb visuals. Lacklustre plot, bad volume mixing and an unsatisfactory conclusion however make this Christopher Nolans most mediocre film of the five I've seen. Your great at action Nolan. Go back to that please
