Lets get started on the good bits, visually this film is stunning, amazing special effects especially the space travel scenes and the planets being discovered. The science behind the film was also good, it dealt with relativity and concepts of time, space and gravity very well! And thats about the only good aspects there is! The acting, Chris Nolan stuck with a familiar cast, Hatheway & Caine from Dark Knight, John Lithgow then went with McConaughey to lead and Matt Damon, oh dear. I like all these actors! Lithgow was the only standout performer in this film, Im not sure McConaughey even knows what an astronaut is, he was so poor! Hatheway wasn't up to scratch either, the acting was poor overall. Don't even get me started on Matt Damon he was simply laughable how poor he was! Character development was poor & the McConaughey character down on his luck hero type is becoming very tiresome!

The story, the concept of this film is brilliant, dying Earth lets save humanity, great lets get on with it then. At the end of the film I was still waiting for saving humanity to get started, so much potential and yet so very little story. Too many sub plots thrown together that never went anywhere, bad scripting and lines on a par with the Happening or the Core. This is is dreary bore fest, the guy next to me FELL ASLEEP, it was only 8pm! Some script was so poor that they have decided to play Zimmers music so loud over it that you cant hear the drivel that good actors are being asked to deliver. You could take 50 minutes of bad script out of this film and it would have been twice as good. The need for Matt Damon's character Dr "Boring" Mann in the film was just to make so long, IT doesn't add anything but time! Instead of a 2hr punchy mildly entertaining film, we get 3hrs of time wishing had fixed that leaky tap in the bathroom! Maybe they will come out with an directors cut, about 50 minutes of cuts would be nice, I may watch that!In the meantime Im going to treat myself to 2001 and enjoy a proper sci-fi film epic!!
