Boring movie. The background music and scenery was good so I had high hopes for the other elements but it ended up a disappointment. There were way too many long, drawn out scenes of him walking through the forest.

I couldn't wrap my mind around how the nephew was supposed to be brave going out into the wilderness yet he was always frightened and incapable of defending himself. He was a bumbling buffoon. And he barely had any lines so that added to the boring factor.

There were no empowering scenes. You were constantly waiting for something to happen. The scenery was great however the fact remains you need more than that to make something watchable. Very little action in this movie, only a couple interesting scenes here and there and that's about it. I really thought some kind of romance was going to happen with him and the beautiful lady he met at the castle but nope! It ended up kind of weird and likely kind of gross to some viewers.

I believe it's intended for certain people, like the types who are amazed by those supernatural genres like ghost hunting shows (which are all truly garbage & could be written by an idiot) & horror movies based on people being possessed by demons. Despite the worst acting and scripts you can find anywhere, they're pulled into these garbage movies and TV shows. And that's cool because we're all entitled to watch whatever we want. These are the types of people Interstellar was written for. I prefer something different, like something that had at least a little bit of thought put into the script. I do enjoy sci-fi movies just not ones written this badly.

There's hardly any action in the movie. It's mostly a drama. The characters use a ton of technical discussion to make it sound interesting but it's just bad. They explain the wormhole dimensional theory by folding a piece of paper in half and punching a pencil through the two halves. The viewers are supposed to believe this and be pulled into the movie. I'm not one of those viewers. The whole idea was lame to me. Another comical thing is that somehow they're able to communicate with the dimension they just left. As the people in their home world are aging rapidly, somehow they're able to communicate with them with short videos. And Matthew McConaughey's character is crying as he's watching videos of his aging children, one of whom has a child of his own now. I believe you have to truly believe in this crap wormhole multi-dimensional reality theory to like it.

There was just too much nonsense in this movie. Another example is when the giant wave was about to send the ship flying. Out of nowhere the female astronaut got stuck underneath something and couldn't make it back to the ship. At the same time another astronaut was about to walk into the ship to save himself but he just stood there staring at this giant wave coming at him. It was borderline stupid. Also when the wave finally picked up the ship it hardly sent the ship flying. The wave was about a half mile tall. Some destruction should have occurred! They showed a scene from inside the ship where it rolled once and that was about it. Nobody got hurt. Just bad acting. The ship gracefully made its way to the calm side of the wave. It's as if they didn't have the special effects capability in their studio to make it exciting for the viewer.

I watched this movie hoping for a celebration when they found the killer. This movie was filled with a bunch of repeated detective work of two cops trying to pin multiple murders on somebody with no evidence that he did it. It was somewhat interesting with Deke's (Denzel Washington) flashbacks. Those flashbacks made this movie only somewhat interesting. There really weren't any truly memorable scenes, with just a handful of suspenseful moments. It almost got boring watching these two cops follow their suspect around during all hours of the day.

It's as if the writers were simply trying something different without any concern of whether or not the viewers enjoyed it. I tried to use my imagination to enjoy the movie but the cliffhanger at the end was a disappointment. They could have stopped this movie at the very middle and I would have still only given it four stars.
