How did I sit through this messs?


I don't know how I sat through this mess of a movie. It was absolutely absurd.

ad astra is far messier

What didn't you understand?

this movie is really bad. an incredibly shmaltzy and hollywoodified attempt at making an arthouse sci-fi. the screenplay sucks, is full of so many stupid moments. it's directed in a way that thinks its audience is stupid, has to show everything, but children think it's intellectual because of the droning music, the long run time, etc. it's diet 2001, Solaris lite, Blade Runner zero sugar, made for people who haven't seen a truly smart sci-fi yet. I highly recommend the original Solaris because it's basically Interstellar but good.

reply

Interstellar isn't arthouse sci-fi.

And to be a diet version...it needs to be attempting to be lighter version of the original. Interstellar isn't like any of those movies.

reply

it definitely is attempting to be as smart and profound, but it fails desperately by being too hamfisted

reply

It succeeds on all counts, you were just too stupid to understand it.

reply

lmao! what's your opinion on solaris, 2001: a space odyssey, blade runner, and/or stalker? and can you explain why this movie is better?

reply

I’m not going to rank them, but Blade Runner and 2001 are both great as is Interstellar

reply

interesting, as blade runner and 2001 are definetly written and directed much better than interstellar. and what makes you think i'm too stupid to understand a pretty straight forward mediocre sci-fi movie? lmao

also, i highly recommend arrival 2016, it does the space/time stuff infinitely better than interstellar does, as in it actually understands what it means

reply

No they are not written better, they are all written very well. All you are doing is spouting out your own fallacious, subjective opinion

reply

as did you as well, pal. you calling me stupid because you cant handle someone else's opinion is itself a sign of lower intellect. oh the irony

reply

Not really, just calling it like it is, junior.

reply

Typical Nolan fans real do be like this. anyone who disagrees with you must be stupid.

hope you can see how cringeworthy you are being in a few years.

reply

Not necessarily but that’s often the case.

reply

What makes you so intelligent to where you've set the standard?

reply

I didn’t say I was qualified to set the standard, but seeing how I get the movie and you don’t I clearly do have the authority to talk down to you.

reply

LOL I never said i didnt "get" the movie. i get it quite well. but just because a movie is telling me something is supposed to be deep and powerful doesn't mean it actually is.

reply

It is telling you something deep and powerful but it went right over your head.

whatever tucks you in at night.

Some people are allergic to common sense and good advice.
