Nah. I watched this a few nights ago, and was largely confused. I didn’t hate it, but it wasn’t anywhere close to “great”.

Most people won’t like it because it gets more and more confusing, and at some point you’re like okay whatever and give up trying to understand. That’s the way it was for me.

They were trying to shove too many complex ideas into too short of a timeframe and it didn’t work. It felt very self- indulgent to me.

That's Nolan for you. His sound quality (there is probably a more precise word for this) is appalling. A lot of the music in Interstellar is too loud while the dialogue is hard to make out. Same with Dunkirk - the gunfire in the opening had me cover my ears in the cinema to protect my hearing and throughout the rest of film I was wishing there were subtitles.

+1. However, the experience of watching in theatre was a bit painful because of the background music. It could be because of that particular theatre but man, if there was no subtitle there's no way in hell I could've followed the movie. I've pre-ordered it on Apple TV to understand all the layers.

> absolutely incredibly well done

I completely disagree.

The worst part wasn't the unenjoyably convoluted plot, it was the director who insisted the dialog be spoken like a grade 5 play: utterly unnatural. Every spoken sentence ends with a unnatural pause before the response, like a grade 5 play. I could only force myself to get through half the movie before I had to turn it off.

Two more for you: predestination and primer. Predestination is a trip and primer folds in on itself in ways you won’t uncover until after multiple viewings (and even then, you may still be missing things!).
