You and I just have widely diverging opinions on what constitutes poor acting or poor writing.

We do, and these divergences are the spice of life. This board would be boring were all of the same opinion. I think Hathaway is a horrible actress.

I agree that the movie was long - but it was paced well - it did not feel it's almost 3 hour running time

It felt like five, six hours.

I thought it was well balanced for its ambitious scope

Plodding, but did have the odd brief flash (Mann and Cooper on the surface),

This movie also was reminiscent of the Dennis Quaid movie where he contacts himself via his ham radio,

While I think she is somewhat overrated, she held her own in this film. MM was great, Chastain was great, Foy was great, Damon has a tough time with unlikeable characters (like in The Departed), but he delivered well enough - particularly the awakening scene, Sir Michael was consistent (as he always has been) - the voice actors for the robots were excellent.

While I didn't find any performance particularly outstanding (maybe Chastain and Foy) - I found the acting par or better for a film of this scope.

I'm going to watch it again, soon, and try to be objective on Hathaway's "love" speech, but on first viewing, in the moment, I thought it was fine - the placement of it was a little awkward and forced, but that's on Nolan - but, overall, I didn't see the glaring flaws that many others (you're not alone) did.

I really don't think you could make Interstellar any shorter than it was. It's an enthralling epic and a warning to our species at large that some variation of this is completely inevitable, and we need to get the ball rolling now before we get in a doomsday scenario. It needed a lot of time and the movie was very quickly paced.
