A needlessly contrived display of self-indulgent filmmaking

Rating: 5/10 (5 October 2015)

Nolan is shooting, photographically, some of the best shots in his career. It looks beautiful, not only the sequences in space but also the scenes back on Earth. In terms of sound and vision, it is gorgeous to look in. However once one goes deeper, things begin to slide. Performance is lacklustre, characters do not seem fully developed nor did I have time to invest interest in them. The narrative is exposition-heavy and will most likely lose you in regards to interest and logic after the forty minute mark. This is a deeply unsatisfying film, boring, nonsensical, and wannabe-pretentious (despite Nolan's fan-base being some of the more lowbrow members of the fan community.)
