I found it to be decent, but a far cry from what we've come to expect from Nolan.

Is it on a streaming service right now?

Watching it at home was your first mistake.

I had an 87 Turbo Regal. Did you see this recent sale?
GNX Sells for record price
Always knew they would be good collectables.

: and the sound mixing in the movie was absolutely terrible.
I agree with this, Jake.
The rest of your post is, respectfully, a steaming pile of crap. The movie was a wonderful homage to 2001, with a couple of Nolan twists and touches. It was NOT perfect - I don't dispute that, but I cut some slack to a film that reaches pretty far and maybe just falls short in a couple of areas.

My initial reaction was Wow, what a cool movie. But now the more I read the critiques in this forum, the worse it gets.
But in retrospect, there were a number of issues both with the plot and the casting. This was not a particularly good role for Matthew McConaughey from my perspective. His mumbling under his breath gets old and his interaction with his daughter felt strained and became tiresome. I thought Matt Damon was fine as Dr. Mann. Damon is an a-hole and is good at portraying assholes.
And yea, the Plan A ploy was unnecessary melodrama. They should have just said: look, we are stuck on the gravity equation so if you happen to run into your mystery gravity buddies out in space, please let them know we need help. If you don't want to save the world by implementing Plan B, then frick you very much. Maybe we will all be reincarnated into aliens on some other world, whatever.
The whole paradox associated with future human survival being dependent on a wormhole created by future humans sucked as well. They should have just had a contingency plan for a limited survival on earth. The future humans could then have created the wormhole and assisted with Plan A (increasing the total number survivors/increasing the gene pool) without the paradox.
Come to think of it this movie did pretty much suck but I have enjoyed worse scifi movies and this one at least had some big name actors.

Great Poli Poster, BAD movie reviewer!
Really though, how someone can review Interstellar without so much as a mention of Cooper watching the videos from his kids after 20+ years on the water planet is unconscionable. That was one of the most powerful moments I've experienced in a theater.

I saw it in IMAX and the sound/music was wayyyyyy too loud causing me to miss out on some of the dialogue.

I enjoyed interstellar though and it's a great movie to me. But the biggest flaw to me was Romily spending at least ten years of those 23 years alone on that spaceship. That's some castaway type shite on steroids and how he didn't go insane is a mystery to me.
He had TARS for company. Having an A.I. robot is better than nothing. Plus he had plenty of work to keep him busy. Studying an actual black hole is something a man like him could spend his whole life doing. Even though it was like 20 years he spent alone.
Them choosing to go down there was a big flaw in general. They should have assumed that the massive gravitational pull would leave the planet sterile. Just like they should have known that the person down there could have been dead and they wouldn't even know because of the effects from time dilation.

i feel like people dont actually understand what this phrase means.
if the 5th dimensional stuff is alluded to in the beginning of the movie (ghost in the bookshelf), i dont see how that is deus ex.
Because the ghost on the bookshelf have been something else.... but a massively omnipotent 5th dimensional species who can manipulate time and space? That's abrupt and out of nowhere regardless of the bookshelf event.
You almost had to have something that powerful just to end the movie.

I liked that movie a lot

Exactly my feelings. The damn robots were the only characters I gave a shite about.

I loved it. But I'm biased as I have a deep love for sci/ tech movies. The physics of the movie was fascinating to me.
My college roommate and I would debate for hours the homes and paradoxes in the Back to the Future trilogy. Our wives refuse to let us watch those movies in the same room.

You've got it backwards. The guy on that planet had quite literally just gotten there. Time passes slower the closer you are to the event horizon. That's why 23 years passed while they were on the planet for an hour.

it wasn't devoid of any quality. i posted broad strokes
i didn't discuss that scene just like i didn't ask how long it would take to morse code complex, fantastical data from a black hole
