Review of Interstellar (2014) by Dennis R — 02 Mar 2016

The science has to be believable. What are they trying to make us digest? I did walk out after the character played by Damon goes mental. I do not believe the crew would have survived docking on that wrecked ship.

This is complete hogwash. I could suspend my disbelief up to the meeting with Damon on the planet. Post this the film is grasping at straws and laughable. The film Martian explains science well with a zero dramatic effect.

This also murders a plot in the science fiction genre. This kind of film has to be balanced very carefully. I believe KubricK does this well for 2001 back before the mobile, CGI age. The wormhole scenes are amazing and I enjoyed the CGI immensely however a lot more believability has to be there for this genre of film.

This is not a comic book, Stan Lee-inspired movie. It becomes a pathetic leap of faith if you bring the imagination to the completely comical in a serious film with serious issues for the future of this planet.

We live in a world where the single humanist will use every last drop of fossil fuel or clean water to live in houses made for 15 families and a private jet to fly the world as he or she pleases. I refer to the bahaviour of a supposed ecologist Leo Dicaprio.

I enjoy his acting but the celebrity elite has to live by EXAMPLE. We are crushing our world right now in not SHARING and being LOGICAL in our wants. The city I live in has empty mansions that use water and hydro and are useless empty buildings sitting there for investors.

Is this logical? Will this be good for our future? The billionaire biosphere will be a very lonely, devastated world people. All we have to do is view the character of Damon in this film or in Martian.

You are creating a very lonely, deadly world for those to come. We have to OPEN OUR EYES. Did the Buddha not tell us to WAKE UP? Did Christ not raise the issue of sharing on the Sermon on the Mount? We should use this film as a warning story but how do you do this when the science falls apart.

Moreover, the Twilight Zone-like book shelves and phantoms lost me completely. The "tipping point" is already here. We do not have time for nonsense. Let us all do our part even the humanist has to be appalled by the current ecology in our world.

This could have been an excellent film but it was only satisfactory. I gave it three stars for the effort.
