First of all, let me say that this movie is 4 or even 5 stars out of 10, but it certainly does not deserve to be rated as high as it is. I don't know what is it about Nolan's movies. Yeah, some of them are quite nice (like Memento or Prestige) but most of them are completely overrated (his Batman films, Inception, this) and don't deserve half the praise and recognition they got.

The plot of this one is actually quite simple: some time in the future , our planet becomes polluted (even though it is not clearly specified what caused it) and scientists trying to save human race send a mission to find other sutable planet for humans. That is it.

Movie is way too long, special effects look nice but it just takes so much time for the story to move forward. Nolan certainly seems to be more focused on style and looks over substance and actual interesting story. I don't know what is it about this day and age, but most people seem to care more about design,effects and visuals over great story and interesting characters. Unfortunately, I think this is sending all the wrong messages to filmmakers because if this is the direction movie industry is going in, films are just going to be boring. I dont care how good a movie looks, if it doesn't have engaging story it's not going to be good enough, at least for me. I don't watch a film to see pretty pictures and colors, I want to see interesting story, great characters, feel some emotion.

Only emotions I felt watching this were disappointment because I expected more having seen great ratings and reviews and confusion as to why are people so impressed with this. The way events of this movie unfold also seems quite stupid and inconsistent. For the most part, this movie tries to be scientific and real in a sense that things happen the way that would be more similar to real life than some SF epic. Not everything goes according to plan for characters and it seems the movie tried to follow some sort od science approach with events and problems that seem more real life than SF. And that is the way movie goes for about 90% of its duration, But, in the last act, movie completely abandons this approach and goes for a complete SF ridiculous happy ending that seems so inconsistent and out of sync with the rest of the movie.

I actually wonder do any filmmakers have creative control over any high budget film, or does everything always need to wrap and end nice and happy for the characters. It's just so stupid because it treats viewers like children. God forbid everything doesn't end well or the movie upsets somebody and leaves bad taste in your mouth.

It also follows a pattern of Nolan films that always end with some sort of a twist or trick in the end. When you do it once, like he did in Memento, it's cool and iteresting but when you start doing it in every single movie you make, it just becomes a gimmick so his movies can become this mysteries and puzzles that need to be understood properly and resolved.

Come off it, mate.
