re: Finally watched Interstellar

Look technically it’s great, acting is great, directing is great, music is great. Story? I just didn’t care. Around the time we see his daughter grown up to be Jessica Chastain who’s taken up in his place….i really just didn’t care anymore. It just didn’t connect with me. And there wasn’t enough there that was wholly original for me to grab onto either. It was just a big beautiful mid movie.

My critique was tame and I said the discourse around the movie over the last 12 years overrated the movie in my opinion.

you said this

people who love this movie act like it’s a life changing movie, one of the all time greats, and if you don’t think so then obviously you are an idiot and don’t get the movie.

I said "some people like it more than you"

So yes, i think you are hyperbolically exaggerating the other position (strawmanning) to make you seem "tame" in your critique of it.

Gladly. Your takes on the film are just awful.

Interstellar is easily the most overrated movie of the 21st century

Cinematography, directing, acting and score are all top notch.

So everything about the film is great but the movie sucks

I like Interstellar quite a lot but would never refer to it as "life-changing." I feel like you're creating a false position here and then using it to jumpstart an argument where one does not exist. If you don't like the movie, that's cool, I don't get why you wouldn't but everyone has their own opinion and you are certainly entitled to yours.

Are you a fan of science fiction generally? If so, what are some science fiction movies that you do like?

Because the movie didn’t do a good job at making me carev

You are so obviously butt hurt. I’m having a good back and fourth with posters on here that disagree with everything I said and it’s a good discourse. You are the only one on here taking it personally. Have a coke and a smile.

Can you please provide your Top 10 Nolan movie and Top 10 space movie rankings?

To me, the winning formula is:
- Is it well made (Nolan's movies always qualify)
- Is it entertaining enough
- Is there novelty to it?
So it soars through my requirements.

Also, does it occur over multiple settings, locations, etc.? Seems to be one for me.

If you told me you didn’t like pickles, and my response is “what exactly don’t you like? They are salty, have a strong taste of vinegar. Got a good crunch, goes perfect on a club sandwich.” Your response would probably be “yeah…and I don’t like it.” There’s nothing I could sell you on that I personally like about pickles if you don’t like it. At a certain point I gotta accept reality that different people have different tastes.

But to answer your question I thought the movie peaked when McConaughey realized his children were now fully grown adults. Once you get passed that and the Matt Damon character is introduced it just kinda drags for me and I stopped caring. One Battle After Anither had that effect recently where at a certain point I just stopped caring and was checking to see how much longer until the end credits. It’s just how it is. I’m sorry we don’t have the same taste I do t know what to tell you. But the not understanding that kinda proves my point about the rabid fandom of this movie. It’s the concept of not liking something is foreign.
