I admire many of the reviews done by talented writers on IMDb. When my husband and I hate a movie (as we did this one), we enjoy reading reviews by people who feel the same. I don't have the time or energy to write an essay about this movie, so this will be short. It is tedious beyond belief. While Nolan wrote and directed some movies that we loved (like the Batman series and Prestige), maybe it's time for him to give it a rest and get his creativity flowing again. I am shocked that currently this movie is number 23 of all movies. I guarantee that if the general population was voting on movies, this would definitely not be beating movies like Casa Blanca, Alien, ET and many others. This is a flawed system. The movie is so bad and seems like it will never end. I feel like I need therapy after watching this depressing bit of pablum. I didn't finish watching it, as I felt like I was being tortured. My husband did (because even if he hates something, he will finish it). I sat and endured it while I tried to read. I always felt that IMDb was the gold standard for checking on a movies worth, but lately it is so far off base it's ridiculous. I'm attributing that to cult followings of certain directors and in this case, pseudo intellectuals who felt this was some remarkable story. I don't think the critics will say a bad word about him after the Batman series. I think that at some point in the future, when this movie is shown on TV, it's star rating will go down a bit after all the hoopla has died down. I've seen that happen with other movies that were undeservedly praised. If you are looking for some wondrous story about space exploration, I urge you to look elsewhere.
