1 out of 3 acts worth seeing

Rating: 3/10 (3 August 2015)

Sooo, finally watched this. And, um, underwhelmed. The first act was way too long. It tipped over from hmm, interesting to okay, boring. Way too much exposition dump and set up for no reason (like the drone thing - no point. AI combines. No point.). Technology flip-flopped between 1950s and 2040 with no explanation or logic. Him leaving his daughter was complete crap. Why the sudden rush to leave? The wormhole was closing? No. Umm. Hmm. There was no reason for him to leave so suddenly AT ALL. Except plot. Then we were treated to a 2001 homage as we watched the ship take off, then dock. Wow. We've seen it before. It's not cool now. It's boooring. Why not show a truck backing up. Beep. Beep. Beep. The middle section (2nd act) was really well done. Great visuals. Great premise with the time dilation. The strongest part was his sons life unfolding in minutes.
But the third act (THe end) - what a train-smash. LOVE TRANSCENDS DIMENSIONS. Why? Umm, because. 5D beings just happen to lock onto Murphs room and just happen to provide him a space to affect her room - but not anything smart like a pen or something. Oh, and not to forget the humanist gospel HUMANITY SAVES ITSELF! We've trashed this planet and screwed things royally and even if there's like 4 of us and the future of the human race is in our hands we'll try to kill each other.. but add time and we'll become these amazing supernatural beings who will conquer the universe and manipulate spacetime and benignly save our own asses. well, here's hoping! Oh, and why did he launch off into the black hole for no reason whatsoever, since they still had another robot? Gaah. And the old Murph reunion was weird. Hi Dad. Hi Murph. It was you - I figured it out. The old watch was jumping so I knew you were my ghost because .... love? Yes, love sounds good. LOOOOOOOOVE! Ha. Now bugger off Dad, I've got my own family here. Hey, Brand was hot, go find her (and never mind about the time distortion affects of slingshotting around the black hole while you went through it. I'm sure she'll be the same hot young thing as when you left her.... (I also really disliked the overused score, particularly in the first act. It droned on and on and on and on and on and on and.. well you get the idea.) Anyway, those were my thoughts upon viewing INTERSTELLAR (aka Nolans homage to 2001 and soap operas).
I rated it a 5/10 because VFX was good, some good ideas, and some great acting. Oh, and that docking scene with the damaged spacecraft. Alright alright alright.
