You know, Id love to give a straightforward review for Interstellar, I truly would. But heres the thing: I dont think thats fair. True to Nolans films, there are now a number of tangents I could go on, all of which at midnight seem entirely relevant. But due to constraints, I will only briefly touch on each: - when it gets past a certain hour, my brain turns to some impressionist painting and if it aint some abstract notion, I dont get it. At all. - this seemed good because there were elements in this film that suggested it would be heading down a slightly more surreal path. - but then science and logic turned up, at which point I promptly switched off, but that is not the only reason - I am, of course to my friends who had to put up with my insane laughter, referring to when the cinema itself flooded at a crucial moment in the film. - I dont know how they ended up on the water-only planet, because I was too busy laughing at the fact that a hole had formed in the ceiling of the cinema, and water started gushing out. At first I thought it was someone crinkling their chips, or peeing on the floor. Alas, it was neither. -I was laughing so hard I was crying and couldnt breathe. In hindsight, I would probably be doing that in space, too. - script was rubbish, and I was confused by how brown Macconaughey was, but none of that mattered because despite all the complaints, THE SOUND WAS AWESOME! - in the sense that Id like to think id do that myself if I were to make a film concerned with the divide between the human condition and the senses. -at one point Alissa slapped me because I had been laughing for too long at the flood, and everyone elses reaction to the flood, and the movement of the robot, who in turn I wanted to slap because intelligent monoliths capable of weird movement offend me. So should you see Interstellar? Yeah. Its quite good. Thats it. I liked it. Next time Im watching it when Im not so overtired my brain is melting off my face like foundation on the Equator. ...if you got through all that you deserve something. At the very least, a ticket to Interstellar, and peace of mind from the worst film review I have ever written.
