Wow. I don't even know what to say. I walked out of the cinema feeling sad, happy, confused, shaken. Interstellar was one hell of a roller coaster ride.
THE GOOD:
The music
Jessica Chastain
No unnecessary romantic sub-plot
Space
Time Travel
The ending
The only two female characters in the movie practically saved the world!!! (Nolan seems to have improved at writing women)
The editing, the way they paralleled the characters in space and the characters on earth in some scenes which I thought was super cool
TARS and CASE
That scene where Cooper watches decades of his family's video messages
THE BAD:
Matthew McConaughey as the lead character
Matthew McConaughey's mumbling
Wes Bentley's character who was useless and died too soon (and I love Wes Bentley!!!!!)
Matt Damon's character which was just like............why (but it's ok because the movie was so long that by the end of it I forgot he even existed, same goes to Wes Bentley. Also, I hate when I figure things out in movies because it takes away the fun I guess, but about 50 seconds before Matt Damon pushed Cooper off a cliff, I thought "Matt Damon is gonna push Cooper off a cliff" and whaddya know)
The whole love conquers all bullshit
The robots sounded so much like humans that sometimes I didn't even know who was talking
How exactly did Murph save everyone? what was that equation even about? what did it solve?
The way space looked in the movie. There were several shots where it just looked like a picture they got off google images (like when they showed us Saturn)
ok so even though there's a lot of bad in this movie, especially a lot of plot holes which I won't get into because they don't really matter that much to me, I still loved and enjoyed every minute of it.
