\"Insterstellar\"<\/a>…& my feelings are mixed.<\/p>\n

On the one hand: it’s about space—and the robots were cool (I liked it, too, that they did not turn out to be “evile” robots, for a change)—the characters were pretty good, too, and I can’t complain about lack of story—some parts of which were pretty durned exciting, as well.<\/p>\n

On the other hand: “fantasy”–physics (and chemistry\/biology, too, with the explanation for the nitrogen-isation of Earth’s atmosphere) and I had several “less-is-more” moments with the storytelling…<\/p>\n

Oh, yes, and the film passed the Bechtel test—Lois and Murph had a conversation (brief, but nonetheless a conversation) that was not about men.<\/p>\n

Overall? I enjoyed Interstellar<\/strong> well enough and certainly don’t regret having been to see it on the big screen (in fact I’d go so far as to say it’s a big screen film with the effects etc) but I don’t think it’s made it into my “top” SF films.<\/p>\n
