Appallingly badly written for a major serious sci-fi film

Rating: 1/10 (18 April 2015)

The various merits or demerits of Christopher Nolan's style of film-making is beside the point.
This was the worst plotted and written major sci-fi film I have ever paid good money to see. Having seen it a few months ago now, that response firmly stays with me. To be sure, it had sumptuous production values and committed performances but this film cannot be considered serious sci-fi for how poorly it was plotted and written. I read that it had been written with serious scientific input from experts on black holes but that didn't show to me.
Now I like space opera and I also like sci-fi films with ideas, the bigger the better. Black holes are incredibly complicated phenomena for the eggheads to understand, let alone the average or even the serious film-goer. Black holes also speculatively throw up all sorts of illogical ideas about their nature, which cause headaches for the scientists but which can be fun to work through on the silver screen. I wanted to like this film.
I don't need my sci-fi to make perfect sense. I love Kubrick's 2001. I like the mystery and awe engendered by contemplating the cosmos, whether philosophically or dramatically. I just felt as I watched this film how my intelligence was being increasingly insulted by logical non-sequiturs of plot and character - even allowing for a scenario involving black holes where all kinds of paradoxes could and should be thrown at the characters and played around with - which were in my judgement the result of plain bad or lazy writing. This script had it not been written by the Nolans would never in my opinion have been passed in a film school project, let alone made into a big-budget film. I have ticked the box about the spoilers alert but I am not sure I have any spoilers to spill. It was a few months ago that I saw the film and I can now barely remember the plot because it made no sense to me on any level at the time. Even if a plot isn't easy to understand and appears illogical, and once again I re-iterate that with the inherent nature of the subject we are talking about metaphysical paradoxes here big-time, it ought to have an inner logic, make an inner sense. This was just a script-writing mess as far I could judge it.
Incidentally, watching his Batman film I thought there was some very lazy plotting in that too, so this wasn't a one off. Does no one in Hollywood care anymore about good writing? Are major films now all about 'never mind the quality feel the width'?
