Poorly written with a terribly weak Plot

Rating: 1/10 (23 June 2015)

This has to be the most abysmal piece of science fiction writing of the decade. The science was absolutely pathetic - planets orbiting "Gargantua", a black hole, and not one, but two planets. Time dilation from being on a black hole planet. A water world with ankle deep oceans and two mile high waves. A wormhole near Saturn put in place by aliens. Earth's ecosystem collapsing because of a nitrogen-fueled "blight". The list goes on and on. This writing puts the "stink" in STINKS BIG TIME, and the authors, the Nolan brothers, are clearly intellectual midgets who appear to have spent a fair amount of time watching the Discovery Channel and understanding almost none of it. Moreover, it's completely derivative, a mimicry medley of dozens of Sci-fi themes - Black holes, worm holes, astronauts going nutty in isolation, time dilation, Earth as an eco-dystopia . . there's not one original thought or theme in any of it. It's dark and hopeless until the bitter end, when some weird trans- dimensional "oasis" in the middle of a black hole allows Matthew McConaughey to communicate the big secret about "gravity" to his scientist-daughter, who proceeds to then save all of mankind. Only we're not really sure how she accomplishes that salvation. Then the fiction itself was awful - not a good story, with a choppy, discontinuous plot like that keeps you reaching for the remote to back- step a scene or two, thinking you missed something. Only you didn't. Bad directing. Characters that mumble. Cryptic messages sent by the families to the astronauts gone on a 20 . . .50 . . . .(we're never sure how long) mission. Even a star-studded cast with McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine, John Lithgow, William Devane and more couldn't save this massive stink bomb.
I come away with three very strong convictions:
One, I'm glad I paid a $1.50 RedBox fee to view this dragging, nearly 3 hour marathon candidate for Sci-Fi stinker of the 2010s decade.
Two, I'm bitter I wasted an evening on this roach instead of doing something that is more fun, like having extended dental work done.
Three, I'm going to remember the Nolan name and make certain I never pay to watch or read anything penned by either of these two benumbed, intellectually vacant nebbishes, ever again.
