It could have been better

Rating: 7/10 (11 November 2014)

I've come to expect Nolan's films to move my heart, soul, and brain and I went into Interstellar expecting my mind to be taken to the next level -- it wasn't.
The story was compelling, the visuals were amazing, characters developed, etc, etc -- but taken as a whole, Interstellar didn't live up to my expectation of Nolan's films. Earth going to hell in a hand basket have been done before and Interstellar did not do much more to excite the audience. What made it worse are the long unnecessary expositions. An almost 3 hour long movie that made my wife angry at me afterward because she slept through most of the movie and still it went on for another hour+. She would have loved so much to go shopping instead.
When I left the theater, my mind was focused on trying to find what I liked about Interstellar, and nothing really came up. My favorite "going to space to save the Earth" movie, "Sunshine" by Danny Boyle, was still much better than all the other "save the Earth" movies, including Interstellar.
