Good?

Rating: 6/10 (30 November 2014)

Is Interstellar a terrible mash of science mumbo jumbo and sappy boring clichés? No. Is Interstellar the greatest movie made in the last 30 years? Absolutely not. While it was an entertaining movie, it really isn't as good as everyone is praising it as. Christopher Nolan is an incredible director, and I love movies like Memento and The Dark Knight, but I felt like this was not one of his best movies. While it sounds like I am looking negatively on the film, I actually really enjoyed it, but not as much as I was hoping to. The thing that really bugged me with the film was its predictability. I figured out pretty quickly that Matthew McConaughey was going to be the ghost in Merf's room, and as soon as Anne Hathaway brought up that love is the most powerful thing in the universe, I knew the two would be connected. I thought that the visuals, performances, and music was fantastic, but the script and plot really failed for me. Either was, this was a very entertaining movie.
