I actually like the front half of Interstellar better than the back half. The setup is really well done. I would watch a whole movie about a simple robot farmer trying to survive the cornpocalypse.

I've watched this movie twice total and both times were when it was first released. I just remember thinking it was an incredible movie visually and it obviously had emotional punch to it, but at the same time it had some real dumb shit in it. The entire premise of a civilization that can travel like this can't get their agriculture together is unthinkably stupid. I may need to give it another whirl a decade later to see if that and the ending still ruin an otherwise awesome movie.

there are really, really, really great moments in the movie that hit you hard depending on where you are in life. When my kids were young it didn't hit that hard, but now they are older and have their own kids it really hits hard how much time has passed and how you view your family usually in a static, "where did all the time go" way. That said the whole "love" speech is cringe as fuuuuuck and it almost ruins the movie for me.

The 23 year scene is still one of the few times in movies that will make me cry. Its also brilliant cinema by Nolan intercutting young/older kids, the blink-and-you-miss-it that one of Coopers grandkids died, and the amazing cinematography that has the scene ending with Murph facing away from the video camera going in frame into her present day.



although it also makes me laugh like a retard when fans recut TFA trailer into it, cuz every hardcore Star Wars fan felt like this after 15 years of no live action... and then the dark times... TLJ... ROS...



Whats really fascinating is the original script draft by Jon Nolan had aliens and chinese explorers and showed more of what robots did when faced with asymmetric time dilations, not much in the way of "love will save us all"

What really bothered me about Interstellar is how it marketed itself as this scientifically accurate film, but in reality, it’s full of misleading science. Sure, they brought in Kip Thorne as a consultant, which is supposed to give it credibility, but even that couldn’t save the inaccuracies, especially when it comes to the portrayal of time dilation.

The film treats time dilation like some dramatic plot device rather than a real, scientifically grounded phenomenon. The way time passes on that planet near the black hole is completely exaggerated and oversimplified, designed more to 'wow' audiences visually than to reflect anything accurate about physics. And the problem is that most people watching have no background in astrophysics or relativity, so they just accept it without questioning.

Ultimately, Interstellar caters to people who are dazzled by the visuals and think they're getting a crash course in advanced science, but in reality, it's just sci-fi masquerading as something more profound. It’s frustrating because it pretends to be intelligent, but it’s really just pseudo-science dressed up in stunning CGI.
