Good movie, but really overrated

Rating: 7/10 (30 December 2015)

I guess I'm in the minority here but i don't get the hype. It was a good movie but not a "masterpiece" everyone claims it to be. I liked it but I feel like most of the love it gets is purely because of the visuals, which were indeed amazing and I should have seen it in the theater.
Except for them the movie doesn't really have much more to offer. The characters are okay, the father - daughter relationship is good, but on the other hand the son was probably illegitimate based on how little the father cares about him.
The robot was excellent, one of my favorite movie robots and I'd give the movie an extra star just for him but it really isn't an 8. The robot was original, funny and actually made me care about him.
The "twist ending" is horrible to me and Nolan ruins the movie here for me just like he did with the Prestige and again I know I'm in the minority here. In the end McConaughey falls into a black hole where he finds a magic bookshelf where he USING THE POWER OF LOVE (which was never foreshadowed in any way, nor is it explained how he does it) manages to send an encrypted message back through time to his daughter's old watch holding the answer to the life, universe and everything. It think the Youtube channel "Screen Junkies" summed it up perfectly: "It's not that I don't get it, it's just really really stupid."
