Review of Interstellar (2014) by Bobby S — 10 Feb 2017

I was looking forward to seeing this. Seemingly all the public transport in my area was insisting I should see it, and that every reviewer was sold on it. Unfortunately, it was as problematic as it was long. The characters are singularly wooden (perhaps except for McConaughy) and the script is poor. The plot is diabolical and although it plays with some highly interesting ideas, they are not at all adequately fleshed out, given the plot, and script. Damon's character is absurd as Caine's.

The only redeeming feature (apart from perhaps, again, McConaughey's performance) is the visual stimulus, which, as you might expect from Nolan, are superb. Rage, rage certainly; but not for the reasons quoted in the film.
