I guess the opposite reading is that this is the consequence of Christopher Nolan trying to make a family movie
like there are so many shots of the stupid robot even
I thought it was emotionally successful in the face of its obvious stupidity, which is like: Iâll take it

yeah I donât have a problem with that calculus, itâs more just like, what is this artifact even doing here
that it was made during the 18 month window within which McConaughey was taking himself seriously is but one of the many unlikely conditions that obtained
I was emotionally overwhelmed when I thought McConaughey was going to die in that black hole.
Within five minutes I was in full âcome the fuck onâ and by the end credits I wanted to throttle Chris Nolan for thinking he could handle normal human beings interacting to express their normal human emotions on screen, etc.

Certainly all movies about space should be this intensely earnest and three hours long and have geometrically correct torus rendering but this is still far easier to love than makes sense
Itâs the most expensive Movie You Would Be Happy To Watch On An Airplane that could possibly exist
I really liked everything about Interstellar up to the point where it turns into a movie about how the power of love can transcend space time or something and after that it just falls apart
But I will still always have a soft spot for this movie for the way it recognizes the pure chaos and joy that can result from having matt damon show up unannounced for a totally bonkers cameo

My only real problems with interstellar, was the whole segment with Matt Damonâs character and how they spent very little time on the guy who stayed behind on the ship, during the water planet.
itâs not actually as weird as if, like, Terence Malick were hired to direct a planetarium welcome video and just watched one Voyager DVD to prepare for the gig, but it sort of is
God I love how overwritten the dialogue is at the expense of everything else
Itâs so dilated

Anne Hathaway is on some Donald Kaufman shit in this movie
the schoolteacher thinking the moon landings are fake is based on marion cotilliard

at what point when youâre planning on having Matt Damon show up 90 minutes into your movie and having people call him DOCTOR MANN does your long suffering producer spouse try to find you a new batman movie to work on
this is like, by far my favourite Nolan film, I cannot get over this shit

Itâs because heâs named after nolanâs hero michael mann thatâs why he was âthe best among usâ

Topher Grace plays an audience surrogate but specifically one who didnât see the first half of the movie
Thinking the moon landings are fake is dumb yes, but Iâm still going to hit nolan with a pipe and steal both his wallets if I ever run into him for mocking marion cotillard

Itâs just sitting there, begging to be punned and yetâŚ
(Itâs because of TIME DILATION)
just a couple of guys horsing around on a glacier
Damn it Felix loving Interstellar was my thing get your own thing.
The more the editing tries to do the parallel narrative thing the more jarring and nonsensical it gets
I love how McConaugheyâs daughter is a genius and his son is a total dipshit
The unwieldly platitudes the characters communicate with are soooo dumb but kind of adorable and the scale of the thing keeps colliding with all these small dumb moments itâs amazing.
Itâs just like broad strokes of feeling, and when I try to confront the movie on an intellectual level it disarms me with its goofy earnestness.

Interstellar makes me sob uncontrolably ten out of ten.
