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.

You nailed it
It went from 2001 to schlock almost instantly and right at the end

best way i've heard it summarized to date.
[SPOILERISH]
i mean i love it and it was lightyears ahead of what gets nominated a lot of times at award shows, but that last 15 minutes till the last 5 was just to much BS for me to handle in the scope of the awesomeness of the movie. the ending itself i liked. just not what got us from Cooper entering the black hole to waking up on the megaship.
i would still say it's the best film experience i've had in 5+ years and lands somewhere in the top 20-30 overall.

Yea I definitely enjoyed it overall, but you're dead on about the time frame between the black hole and Cooper waking up. I liked the very end but that segment was just bad.

I liked the bookshelf scene. I was thinking about it last night after watching it. I think to visually portray the 5th dimension, and its complexity, I dont anyone who would know how else to create it better.

I love the way it was shot, there are countless examples that are just unique to the movie (and Nolan I guess)
but I didn't think it was visually more impressive than planet of the apes, nor did it have any tension until almost 1/2 way through the movie.
Even with all of that, it was just so epic and awesome and I was thinking "this is why I like the movies" and then the god damn singularity/bookshelf/builtbyfuturehumans nonsense started and fricking drove me insane...it ALMOST ruined the movie. That says a lot because the movie to that point was great.
no one really knows what happens in a black hole, I think it's safe to assume that you get crushed to such a small size we can't even comprehend, but I do know that there isn't any stupid bookshelves made by humans so you can ghost stalk your daughter and create a motherfricking headache paradox

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

Yeah, that really turned me off at the start of the movie that aliens apparently did this, but then in the twist, it's revealed to be 5th dimensional humans from the future, that was brilliant to me. I think I would have liked if it were more subtle and largely unsaid only for watchers of the film to figure it out weeks later, but don't think that would have worked for the masses

The ending to me was so nonsensical and screamed mass appeal actually.

The moment I heard them explain a complicated science matter and then use a simple analogy so that the audience doesn't feel stupid, I thought "ace is going to love this shite" I guess you know what I'm referencing.

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.

Then I feel like you missed the majority of the movie.
I mean shite, they (one of the robots) even made direct jokes about 2001 in the dialogue.
