Interstellar - things you LOVED and HATED about this movie

Compared to other movies it's excellent.
However, compared to other Christopher Nolan movies I thought it was just alright. The Prestige is still Christopher Nolan's best movie to date.
I think Interstellar suffered from Christopher Nolan unintentionally mimicking Stanley Kubrick. That's the kind of movie that screams Kubrick. I almost wish he would've went in a completely different direction.
Plus, the movie suffers from too much going on conceptually.
Interstellar certainly begs for multiple viewings, but in reference to Chris Nolan filsm for the first time I don't really care to watch it again.
Which is a shame and disappointment.

The main problem with it was that it went from Kubrick to conventional pretty quickly. The last 1/4th was wrapped up wayyy too nicely- to the point of being sappy and uninspired. I didn't have a problem with the conceptual ambitions that dominated most of it. But it really cratered with the whole bookcase nonsense.
It's never good to go from Kubrick to Capra in one movie.

This, I did not have a problem with, but the dialougue needed to explain those concepts to viewers was detrimental to the movie. The characters were monotonous and underdeveloped for the most part. Hathaway was terrible. It's my main problem with the movie. The robot (TARS) had the best (timed) lines, IMO.
Visually and conceptually, I thought it was amazing. I even loved the ending. I thought it was a much better direction than just saying "aliens did it.".

I enjoyed it. 2nd favorite non-Batman trilogy film of his behind Memento. Didn't think it had any Kubrick elements to it, which made me happy because 2001 was basically "CHECK THIS shite OUT, THIS shite WAS MADE IN 1968!!!".

It was so beautiful and very good. The characters weren't too strong, but it was shaping up to be great science fiction movie
Then Christopher Nolan feeling the need to have a happy ending that would blow the mind ruined everything
SPOILERS
loved the scene where they open dr mann's chamber
It was like opening dracula's tomb and there was a sense of dread even though you didn't know he was a bad guy. Just love that shot.

It is an intentional homage to 2001 - executed almost perfectly. Every movie has holes. I enjoyed this one immensely.

That was one of my favorite things about the movie. It was so visually satisfying and different from all of the CGI artistry that we typically get in these types of movie. It has been a long time since this type of film was mad.

Agree with 100% of that.
I really liked Interstellar, but it was a movie that was incredible for most of the movie, and then the end made it just "really good" for me. I get that it was based on theoretical physics/science and all that, but it just sort of fell flat for me and the ending made a lot of things unnecessary. However, I definitely appreciate what they were trying to accomplish, and wish more directors would do things like that.

I was disappointed. I thought the movie was alright until the whole blackhole nonsense.
Visually the movie is amazing, but I'm gonna sink 3 hours into the movie again just because it looks cool. I'll just watch Inception instead

Some of the dialogue was bad, but very few movies have perfect dialogue. I also didn't care for some of the characters. Didn't like Matt Damon or Casey Affleck.
That being said, I LOVED this movie. It's probably my second favorite Nolan film behind Memento. It's a visual masterpiece. It was an experience seeing it in IMAX. It hit on a lot of different emotions. It was very imaginative and left you thinking long after you leave the theater. I loved the score.
I bought the SteelBook from Target.

I saw it last night and loved it.

I thought it was alright,
Not be long winded about it, I feel as though the film had a conclusion that it never really earned if that makes any sense.

I enjoyed the effort of the movie. I enjoyed Nolan's attempt to show us a space fantasy movie that was based on possible theories. I LOVED the score. Hans Zimmer is the best in the business by far in my opinion. I enjoyed the story. I thought the acting was great. (Yes, even Matt Damon) I thought the characters were believable in their motivations, and I did feel emotion at the proper moments.
I'm sure most would disagree with me, but I was really disappointed in the special effects. They just seemed empty and flat to me, like I was looking at a picture from a telescope. Everything just felt far away. I thought it had too many close up and side angle shots of the spaceship. It made it seem like they cut corners in the movie to save money. Before people attack me on that, consider Interstellar had a budget of 165 million. That's almost half of what huge budget movies have to work with these days. There are some other nitpicky things that I won't go into.
Overall I enjoyed it, especially after watching it a second time. I think as long as people lower their expectations a little bit, they'll enjoy it as well.

The main thing I didn't like about interstellar is really just a criticism of McConaughey; his speech is so under the breath that it's very difficult to understand what he's saying. And while my hearing is not great, I didn't have any trouble hearing what was being said by the other actors.
Overall, I consider it one of the best scifi movies to date but there was still plenty of room for improvement.

Just finished it. It is a physics nerds wet dream.
I really enjoyed it and I look forward to a second watch. There was a ton going on.
I agree with the OP that Prestige is nolans best and most re watchable.

The Indian military drone (those solar cells are worth a fortune!)thing at the beginning was dumb as frick..
The idea that NASA was still operating clandestinely in McConneghys back yard..
"We don't teach our children that man landed on the moon, we like our kids to be more pragmatic", or whatever bullshite, of course leftard teachers are that stupid, so it is realistic.
There were a couple of other things, but those are the main sore thumbs.
