I tried to watch this movie before but it was so bad that I stopped. When I was reading the comments for Arrival one of them said that Interstellar is better. They didn't like Arrival but I thought Arrival was the best SF movie since 2001. I decided to give Interstellar another look and found out I was right the first time. The acting was OK but I feel there should be more to science fiction movies than interstellar drag racing or sh-- like Independence Day and ET. Although ET did have a sentimental side which was OK. But the reality of just where the human race is in this mystery of universal creation makes using escapism in SF movies a low blow. That is if you do read and not just get your deeper thoughts from movies and TV. Interstellar had too much in consuming action and not enough in suspense. The way he was caught in a time dimension when coming back was shown in an interesting way but it stayed there too long. Unless your a farmer in the flatland Midwest the sentimental side is wasted. Considering the time it took and the value it gave I would give it a 7.2 at the most.
