Nice try

Rating: 3/10 (2 November 2014)

This is yet another film out of Hollywood with actors and directors that give us dialog that is largely unintelligible. Since the bad diction in this film comes from the mouths of Matthew McConaughey (the star), Michael Caine and to some degree Casey Affleck, one must hold the director Christopher Nolan greatly responsible for this film's problem. Of course, the public contributes to the problem by continuing to patronize films with unintelligible dialog; nevertheless I will personally avoid future films directed by Nolan as well as those which feature McConaughey and Affleck for this reason.
The movie has spectacular technical effects and for that reason I will not give it the worst possible review. But the premise of the movie - the dust storms which kill the world's food crops - is thin indeed. It is presented here as a local issue - the Midwest - and therefore not serious enough to entirely abandon planet Earth. The ending is overly long but it was a good effort to simulate the time/space continuum.
Nice try.
