There’s something inherently frighting and violating at the thought of waking up to a gray in your room standing at the end of your bed
I saw that one on UPN back in the 90s. Scared me shitless.
Along the lines of Fire in the Sky, Communion and the Fourth Kind. Am open to documentaries too.

Something about Alien abductions / Gray aliens have always sent a shiver down my spine.

Way better movie than Interstellar

No
It’s fricking boooooooorinnng is that a big enough of a reason to not like the movie? Where is this energy for every other thread where people talk about movies they don’t like. The fact Interstellar is getting hoisted up like I’m shitting all over The Godfather or Citizen Kane fricking proves my point.
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.

Yeah it’s a well made movie with a mediocre story. I’d be an idiot to say Chris Nolan can’t make a damn good looking movie but sometimes misses on the story. Are you saying Tenet (way worse movie) isn’t a well made movie, that has a shite story? They are not mutually exclusive. For example One Battle After Another is a well made movie from a technical and directing standpoint and the acting is good, but the script is a mess and overall, despite the talent, I did not like the movie. This isn’t exactly a novel concept.
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.

I cared at first when he left his kids and thought that was a great idea and was all into it. But then it goes on and on. Water planet, Matt Damon shows up. It’s just gets lost in the sauce and drags and by the time his daughter is an adult and trying to find him it just fizzled out for me personally
Because the movie didn’t do a good job at making me carev

i'd feel better about your opinion if you had just said you "didn't get it".


The joke online (Reddit, Letterboxd, film tikotok, various movie podcasts) that shite all o er Interstellar (which I’m not exactly doing) make fun of the “film bro” fans of the movie. The cliche is that if you say you didn’t like it, their response cope is “you didn’t understand it!” I’m not going to be a dick, I’ll just say yes I did get it. As a matter of fact it’s not exactly the most complicated movie to get because Nolan spoonfeeds what’s happening. I just didn’t care. I did not give a shite what would happen to McConaughey. It’s that simple.
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.
Again it’s an okay movie. But I’d have it ranked at the bottom half of Nolan’s filmography. I think the overtly passionate and aggressive responses telling me I’m wrong kinda prove my point. If I were to come on here and say it’s the biggest piece of shite, then I’d be rage baiting and would expect the shite being thrown back my way. But say an overly praised movie is overrated and all hell breaks loose, well…I rest my case
You are proving my point btw. My critique was tame and I said the discourse around the movie over the last 12 years overrated the movie in my opinion. Again, my opinion is just as valid as yours. I’m happy to agree to disagree. But your reaction is essentially “YOU MADE IT UP IN YOUR HEAD THAT EVERYONE SAID THE MOVIE IS GREAT”

Bro… that is insane behavior. It’s just an okay movie. Don’t take it personally. frick.

And yes, it’s a common joke/meme online that Interstellar is the “film bro’s favorite movie” so if anything I’m not saying anything that has t been said a million times on Reddit and Letterboxd.
