"Interstellar" Is The Most Overrated Piece Of Sh*t Movie Of All Time

[RhodyPatriot]

Why, oh why are so many people obsessed with this film?

It receives critic/audience accolades alike.

I wasted three hours of a snowy Jan. afternoon on this, and I didn't even have booze.

No character development, everyone whispers annoyingly, it's boring/depressing.

And the ending is fucking laughably, almost comically retarded; with Matthew McConaughey using literal morse code on a wrist watch to communicate with his daughter in an alternate dimension.

Yeah, I'm like 10 years late to the boat.

But now I know why.

Just thought I'd share.

Move along, move along.

Libs love that POS movie.

hmm, IMDB gives it 8.7/10 that is generally a pretty good rating. I have not watched it

Sci Fi movies rarely hit the mark with me. The title and description sounds sci fi so.most are poorly designed movies, vastly unbelievable even as we are supposed to suspend reality for the duration of the movie.

I liked Matt Damon as the cowardly asshole who blew himself to smithereens.

You really had to suspend disbelief that the black holes event horizon wouldn't kill our hero and he miraculously survives in just his space suit.

But it entertained me.

You will not believe what I am about to say, but I swear to you it's absolutely true.

My wife and I were joking about "The Martian" and Matt Damon's "poop potatoes", and how even that boring piece of canine excrement was more interesting than Interstellar.

Just then, Damon pops out of the hyper sleep tank and we absolutely lose our shit.

We had no idea he was even going to make an appearance, and his timing was uncanny.

So I guess there's that.

It had a lot of cool visuals and actually did space travel realistic instead of most dumb sci-fi.

The rating system is flawed because they give bigger scores for anything that pushes the reviewer's ideology.
They actually gave "Barbie" a pretty high rating (88%) at Rottentomatoes.com, and I thought it was garbage.

could be wrong but they rate by those who post their consensus and don't manipulate the results but who knows anymore, really

I've seen some pretty lousy movies get decent ratings.

I think movie producers sometimes gear their films toward patronizing the critics.....and most of the critics are woke.


This is a sure way to go broke, but it will assure a Freedom Medal.

These days if you want to get recognition, put a lot of blacks suffering from racism (that doesn't exist anymore) in it, and you got an academy award possibility, as well as horrible boxoffice numbers.
"One Of Them Days" got 94% on the tomatometer, and it's just about a couple of female hoodrats who can't get along without showing their ass to everyone they meet because they need the rent money. This is Hollywood encouraging blacks to be assholes. Sure to get an academy nomination.

Another one got an even higher rating because it's about a family in Brazil that's suffering from government oppression in Rio De janeiro.
Bring them to America.

Most of the reviews are purely political and pointing this out is sure to get me called a Nazi.

Were there an Uranus jokes in the movie?

You made it all the way through? God bless ya.

Yeah, it was pretty tough.

If it had been an evening viewing I would have jettisoned.

 

[Orangecat]

It was alright. A bit too long, the end was dumb, but the part where they went to the water planet for 15 mins and got back to the base ship years later was thought provoking. Weird boxy robots, too.

But surreouslee. You can usually determine a quality of the movie by looking at the usual markers.

The first is the director. Nolan directed a few DC comics movies, so that's a sign of low quality and shallowness.

The cast is a good marker. Mathew McWhatever is not a good actor. Most of the others are low quality. Directors like to round out a bad acting cast with old time greats in supporting roles. This movie has that--again, another bad sign.

Look at the storyline. I'm not really science fiction fan unless it's a great story. This movie uses a standard template of earth being doomed, so they have to resettle elsewhere. This has been done to death, so it's hard to find something halfway original. Combine that with a hack director writing the screenplay, and you have the perfect recipe for failure.

Another marker is action in the film. I observe that amount of action is inversely proportionate to quality. More action means less story to tell. And, the science fiction genre is supposed to be cerebral and thus, does not lend itself to action.

This movie, of course, has the intriguing beginning, but the real skill is composing the middle and end of the story. The basic composition of any story is a beginning, a middle, an an end. It's easy to get an idea and start out strong (the beginning), but it's very hard to develop the story and finish it (middle and end). I seriously doubt if development and finish was accomplished in this movie (see storyline paragraph above).

I actually had a 6 hour flight yesterday. I gave three movies less than 10 minutes each. You don't grab me, at least at some level, in the first ten minutes - I'm not wasting my time.

You do you, rock on.

Shakespeare In Love is, in fact, the most overrated piece of shit movie of all time. Hands down.

Tough crowd. LOL I thoroughly enjoyed Interstellar.
