Current Events > Saw Interstellar at last. Good, but has the usual modern film flaws. spoilers

(+) Yeah! (+)

+ Excellent visuals
+ That sens of profundity / gravitas
+ Very interesting premise
+ AI

- Much too long
- Too slow
- Sometimes confusing

I did like it, but like a lot of the major releases in the last 5 years, it felt it needed to be long for no reason, and too slow. Both those problems couldn't been fixed by shortening it. It did have that classic sci-fi feel, though, in some ways, and I can't complain about the acting. Certainly wasn't an amazing film like people tried to make out.

Thoughts on this?

Idk I thought it was pretty great because of how big the scope was and how it was based in science.

I would have loved to have seen Interstellar in IMAX.

Time travel in movies annoys me. How did the original wormhole open up before Mathew Mconnahay opened it up?

I definitely think it felt bloated, especially with how segmented the story was. It was three good movies rather than one great one.

But sometimes that happens in time travel films. It was done from the future, that's the point.

Also, there was something else that annoyed me. At one point, Jessica Chastain's character comments she's as old as Matthew McConnahay's character when he left, but JC looked about 35 or 40, and MM looks about 50. I mean...that didn't make sense. Unless on this low-tech Earth, they had somehow found a way to halt the ageing process...which seems unlikely.
