THR: The first reviews landed with a thud: Warning readers that the ambitious new sci-fi epic was nearly three hours long, The New York Times complained, "The movie is so completely absorbed in its problems, its use of color and space, its fanatical devotion to science-fiction detail, that it is somewhere between hypnotic and immensely boring." No, we're not talking about Interstellar, Christopher Nolan's ambitious new sci-fi epic. That actually was one of the reviews knocking Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, which Nolan acknowledges as a major inspiration.
Shaz from FL writes: “The Academy Awards are just around the corner, and if recent shows are any indication, Oppenheimer will be taking its biggest prize. But should it?”

I liked a lot.
Don't know if it will. A 7/10 isn't a guaranteed Oscar, nor is Interstellar as much of an emotional of a work as I though Gravity was.
I saw interstellar today and personally I think it's the best movie of the year so far. There are mixed reviews going around it's a movie that you must understand throughout to actually enjoy it. They wrap it up nicely at the end if someone doesn't get it.
I'm not massively keen on it. Movies don't have to make perfect sense, it's fiction and escapism. But I felt there were too many basic unanswered logical questions while I was watching it that damaged my suspension of disbelief.
I'm a great believer that if you are going to make a meditative human drama you should at least try and elicit realistic, believable behaviour from said human characters. I'm an avid student of human behaviour.
Too many times I saw what was said and done and thought that's just....a non sequitur, unintentional it seemed.
