@DynaMo - If you think little of my opinion about a film, why are you in a thread I created discussing it? I happen to know more about online reviews than most people, because I've made a living writing them and publishing them. If you honestly think IMDB can't be gamed you are being a bit more than naieve.
This film was backed by Warner Bros and Sony. They spent 160M on the film and have been working continually on their marketing efforts since before either of us were born. If you were spending 160M on a product and certain review sites were great traffic sources, wouldn't you want to get them in line ahead of time? Oh right, nobody has ever tried to manipulate critics, nobody has ever launched biased review sites and nobody would bother doing any of it for a 160M film release... They only do that sort of thing when launching a new porn site, politician or restaurant.
@fred I hated interstellar because I do like good scifi, not because I dislike scifi. Bad scifi is bad scifi, it doesn't get a pass just because it's scifi. That's like saying an unfunny movie is great because it was a comedy... If it wasn't funny, it wasn't really a comedy.
