I thought it sucked... hard.

Rating: 3/10 (31 March 2015)

So I kinda wanted to see this, it looked good, I heard great things, but it never looked great to me from the previews.
But it stunk, hard.
The science stunk, the story stunk, the plot stunk, about the only thing that didn't suck was the casting and characters. The folks in it did a great job, but when everything else sucks it just can't save it.
I'm amazed this had such a high rating, what the heck America?!?!?
Let me list just a few things that stunk: - It was WAY too long

It drug, badly, and never had any form of a climax

The science was seriously flawed. Planets with super tidal waves and 1.3g yet 1' of water, floating clouds of ice on a semi-breathable planet, love being a 'dimension', gravity not functioning correctly on 'cooper station', etc, etc.

So, um, they sent these guys through the wormhole to check out a few planets. Got it. It took like 90 years. Got it. When he fell back to our solar system, he encountered a huge space station folks lived on. Why the heck didn't they just hop through the same wormhole and land on a beautiful planet instead of spending *massive* resources building a space station?

The whole library thing towards the end....oh my gosh was that dumb.

The robots were also silly... I mean, they had funny personalities, and a couple neat abilities, but were completely illogical to construct, especially as a military item.

– Did I mention it was *extremely* long, too long? Oh, and boring?
– Dust takes out the human race? Really... dust??? Seal your house a bit better, grow some plants, move underground... ugh, dust?!?!?!?
– We can scan a planet from space now, but they couldn't see the mile high tidal waves moving across the planet? No radars? No telescopes? Didn't notice those on your flyby in the freaking space ship???

I'm guessing the previous pilot who got fired after finding some farmer to replace him was pretty upset.

This was painful to watch, and though it has a super high rating, the fact it only made $190M and had a budget of $165M seems to match my feelings on it.
It wasn't just me. I'm a technology nerd with far too much knowledge about "space stuff", so I could dismiss that as just me. However, my wife, an MBA sorta person, also didn't like it at all and was extremely bored. She didn't understand the scientific inaccuracies, but the story was too weak to support her attention.
Really disappointed in it, obviously. I wouldn't recommend watching this if you are smart unless you have absolutely nothing else to watch.
I would love to see a movie that inspired humankind to look towards the stars instead of borders on a map, as it is the only way to truly perpetuate the species, but regardless of what I heard, this was NOT that movie.
Reasons for my #, starting at 10:
-2 Scientific Inaccuracy
-3 Story
-2 Movie flow (boredom level)
+3 Casting, acting, and relationships
