I didn't want to read Malthus spoliers, but what is it about Interstellar that is so bad without ruining the movie?

I was looking forward to going and seeing this... :(

Wait - Ide, have you seen it? Do you think it is completely terrible?

He gave it a B+, so there's really no telling.  :P

I gather the complaint is it gets some basic science kind of wrong and/or a somewhat unbelievable plot.

Damn. I was hoping he hated it.

A sci-fi movie that gets science wrong.   :o
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Well if it was aiming for 2001, then it shouldn't get basic science wrong...

I still want to see it, but not sure if it'd be worth the hassle of getting a babysitter for...

Railway Man- Kind of an odd film. Starts looking like some kind of romantic movie but then there's some shocking shift to a Japanese POW camp movie...except the entire synopsis of the film is thats what it is about so...not so shocking.
I wonder how he got the woman at the start by being a boring guy. hmm...
Yes. That is the question I take away from it. The POW and meeting his ex-torturer stuff, i.e. the main point of the film, just feels rushed.
The romance should have been kept to the side and the focus kept more on subsequent meetings and friendship building with the evil Japanese guy.

Beneath Hill 60- A WW1 film that doesn't suck and doesn't feel the need to moan about teh ev0l British or any of that sort of thing. A rarity.
Its not the best thing ever but it was an enjoyable little film.

They should make a WWI tank movie.

It is surprising that Interstellar got the science wrong since they had a scientist as an executive producer and advisor to make sure that didnt happen.

This short article seems to suggest that it might be the audience that didnt get the science rather than the other way around.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You know what would be great?  WWII tankette movie.  It would be like Saving Private Ryan meets Waiting for Godot.  An Italian crew of two drives their tankette forward until they roll it into a ditch.  The rest of the movie would be them smoking cigarettes and trying to surrender to who ever happens by.

Stars ordered 10 episodes of "Ash vs. Evil Dead". Yes, Bruce Campbell is involved.
