First of I am a big fan of Nolan's past films. Momento, The Prestige, Batmen series. Those movies are just simply awesome.

I think his weakness in directing (I won't say it's a flaw, though) was started to show since Inception, and even more obvious in Interstellar: He is not very good at manipulating the human feeling, or, he just simply more enjoys elaborating the stories. He doesn't handle very well about the connections and bonds between men and women, parent and children, friends. However, his plots are usually so big and complex and he loves playing with alternated cut scene (which I love). People were too busy figuring out the story but ignoring the fact that human connection is very weak.

This movies almost give me the same feeling as Inception: A complex, beautiful, kick-ass story with lots of open questions for the audience to think. His signature scene-alternation is still cool and smooth. Hans Zimmer's music is as good as usual. But other than that, it actually quite empty. Too be honest, I almost feel like attending a research seminar. The content was very interesting, the presenter told a very cool story, but did I feel happy, sad, angry for the contents in the seminar? No. Did I love the seminar? No. It's enjoyable, but I won't go the same seminar second time.

My emotion does not go up and down as the movie goes and I don't think the slow-moving story helps either. I think fall to connect to the audience is the biggest issue in this movie. Nevertheless, it still well worth my 7 bucks just because of the super cool sci-fi storyline.
