The most stupid science fiction of these days

Rating: 6/10 (23 June 2015)

To explain my daring title - I'd like this review to be a counterbalance to many over-enthusiast appraisals.
Yes, it is a good action/drama. Yes, it is a spectacular science-fiction film. Every genre fan's dream: travelling among different worlds (though, try to watch Europa report!), bending the laws of "common sense" newtonian physics and playing with blackholes and wormholes (the space-bending explanation is just a shameless "borrowing" from much older Event Horizon).
Though, this movie betrays the "common sense" in yet another way. its plot. "We have destroyed this Earth, let's find another one." Irresponsibility, anyone? while we may argue - if this is not a premise of every beloved pot-apocalyptic distopia, if "space travel" is not what we want from science-fiction at the end of the day ... this movie dared to start with really hot topic, so boldly that it should be judged by its own "higher standards".
So we have an ecosystem collapse in the beginning - It is quite obvious that the reason of it are monocultures stretching towards the horizon - a direct consequence of machist, industrial, technocratic approach to science, progress, planet, life, agriculture, thinking... The root cause is so clearly visible in every picture frame of the down-on-Earth part of the movie - but the only "solution" offered by the writer(s) is again the technocratic one: "Let's build super complex machines to transport us zillion light years away" ... instead of simple (!) cheap (!!) responsible (!!!) fixing of the darned monoculture issue down on our original planet.
While many claim that this movie is sophisticated if not even intellectual - it is not - it is actually offensive to the intellect. There might be many of the-good-old space travel operas, whom I would forgive this and spare them the "common sense" critique. But not Interstellar - because it pretends that it is "aware", "eco-conscious", it pretends that it urges us to think about our relationship towards the planet, but it fails exactly in this point. Thinking.
Watch Avatar and Home instead.
