Go watch 2001 again first then you can be objective

Rating: 7/10 (9 November 2014)

I give this movie an A+ for effort, hence the 7 out of 10, but it ultimately fails. First of all this movie borrows so heavily from other movies of greater worth its almost, again, almost ludicrous. Second if you go watch 2001 you'll actually find interstellar's visuals a disappointment compared to a movie made almost 40 years ago. Sure they show a more accurate view of a worm hole and a black hole, but its glimpsed or seen through a cockpit window or on a computer screen. This movie does not embrace the visual of space as it claims to. Do we see what one of the planets that they are visiting looks like from space? uh no. Gravity did so much better at its visuals than this movie does. As you've probably heard the main story line is basically not original and a bit melodramatic. I had no connection to it. I was more interested in the people who had gone ahead of them, but we only meet one and he's unexpected and a jerk. (But in reality how much? Wasn't Cooper (matt m) being just as selfish in some ways??) Loved the music but so did the Director with his heavy handed use of it.
