Rating: 4/10 (7 November 2014)

My wife and myself are big Sci-Fi fans and were anxiously anticipating the release of this movie.
After a disappointing first half-hour, we obviously hung in there and stayed in order to give the movie a chance thinking it would pick up around Lift Off and the subsequent Outer Space journey.
Unfortunately, we nearly headed for the nearest exit around the mid point of the movie. Instead, we demanded a refund and the Theatre Manager gave us passes for another movie.
We both found the acting and dialog flat and somewhat cliché and found the AI machine to be the most intriguing of the characters. I am shocked to see a fine cast fall flat due to the material given to work with. Nolan should have let the Actors Ad Lib.
We were quite comfortable with missing the ending, which one member stated it was "disappointing" as well.
The editing was horrible. How this movie did not have more scenes cut is mind boggling. As one reviewer mentioned: What was the purpose of the scene with the drone.
The entire first hour, which told the story of the earth's problems creating the need to find a new home could have been condensed to just a few minutes. I realize it is important to develop the characters, but in this case there was only one member of the family going on the Outer Space Mission.
We also found some of the special effects laughable since the Space Craft and Saturn looked like the miniature models that they obviously are.
I am rating this movie 4 out of 10 and I sincerely feel that this is overly generous.
Hopefully, Nolans' next movie will have better qualities since this motion picture was a disaster.
