Having seen the trailer I thought of the film as another one of Warner
Brothers "agenda" movies. This may well not pan out for WB because
people are getting a little sick of being manipulated by such movies.
But there may be enough bored people to get a good turnout at the box
office this weekend even if they don't like the movie.
WB is in deep shit and having to lay off people. But that's nothing as
it is happening to a lot of major corporations. The foolish elite never
learned the lessons that even Henry Ford knew that if you want to sell
product the public better have money to buy it. The attempt of the
global elite to turn the masses into chickens in coops hopefully will
fail miserably. After all who are they to dictate to us how we should live?

I'm still trying to decide whether I liked this movie or not.
It was certainly a visual treat, once we got past the visions of Earth
As Neo-Dustbowl About To Die and out into space. And as I'd heard, it
was certainly chock full 'o homages to "2001," not the least of which
is a spaceship-docking scene that really rocked the socks off of "CGI
state of the art."
I guess my main reservation is that Christopher Nolan seems to have
spent the lion's share of the movie trying to inspire in me a profound
emotional reaction to the father-daughter story he spent so long
developing, and none of that effort succeeded. If I was supposed to be
all teary-eyed at the end, I wasn't. If I was supposed to be all
inspired, I wasn't. And I can't really tell you why yet...I must
ponder the film and think about it further and maybe I'll be able to
come up with an answer.
A minor part of the reason may have been that so many of the actors in
the film -- Matthew McConaughey, Michael Caine, John Lithgow, Matt
Damon, and others -- seemed to MUMBLE their way through the entire
film. I found myself constantly having to look at the subtitles (which
for me were in Dutch) to figure out what they were saying. Go figure.
The basic black hole plot was pretty intelligent SciFi, with few
completely cringeworthy moments, but if I have to make excuses for a
SciFi movie that was trying so desperately to grab me emotionally by
saying that nothing struck me as terribly awful scientifically,
something is just not quite right. I'll keep pondering it and try to
come up with some reasons for why I'm as underwhelmed as I am...
