I want to love Interstellar, but I just can't.
The Best:
- Best depictions of a Black Hole and Worm Hole. Thanks, Kip Thorne. You're the Man.
The Great:
- Great music
- Great Visual Effects.
- Great visualization of a Tesseract (I've loved hypercubes since I was 10 years old).
- Time as a resource. (Great Sci-fi)
The Good:
- Good story
- Good acting.
The Bad
- "Cooper" character flying fast and hard to save fuel but risking everything else. Dumb.
- Constant view from side of space ship. Got annoying fast for me. Yes it was shot on a real plane near the edge of the earth with an IMAX Camera but who cares. Money wasted.
- Nasa built underground
- Nasa built underground, and he didn't know it.
- Coop having to explain to his fellow astronaut, who are both on their way to a wormhole, what a wormhole is. (And using a stupid way to explain it).
- Morris Code through the watch. Cool idea because Coop-baby is tapping gravity to move the watch hand - maybe - but way too slow of a bitrate to teach his daughter everything she needs to know.
- Annoying biblical references (Cooper sacrifices himself, becomes God the Father, trancsends time and space (to save his daughter), turns out to be Murphy' Ghost, gets resurrected. There are 12 astronauts pictured on the wall at Nasa (12 apostles). Alot of the music is from a Church organ. The spaceship is sort of a Noahs-Ark, only its carrying earths last people instead of earths last animals. OK WE GET IT Nolan, Geezuz!
The shit
- That fucking robot. The worst design of any robot in any movie ever. There is no point to having a big stupid robot like that on such a small ship. At one point the robot flies the space ship by clutching the wheel. Isn't it faster and more efficient for the on-board computer to fly the ship? I mean what the fucking-fuck.
It's a good movie - a great movie actually - but if I don't overlook some glaring issues like these I just can't get into it. With people like Kip Thorne on board as science advisor, couldn't he maybe have said that um, well, you don't need a HAL-looking robot to remind people of 2001, Nolan, you dink?
AARGGGH. Nerdrage.
