  1. ‘Outraged Fan Syndrome’ afflicts many film discussions, not just those of Mr. Nolan’s work.
    I feel terrible for reviewers who are expected to step out of a single viewing of ‘Interstellar’ and immediately write something coherent and useful. I have been sitting with my reaction for 24 hours now (had ‘Interstellar’-related dreams last night I can’t quite remember), and I still can’t put better words than these to my experience. As with most of Nolan’s non-Dark Knight work, unpacking what the heck he’s actually saying seems to require multiple viewings — and in spite of being exactly his target audience (a father with a daughter, a Nolan fan, a sci-fi film and literature afficianado, a believer in the method of science and the aim of religion, fairly well-read in relativity theory), I suspect it’s going to take a lot longer to come to rest with this film than with any of his others. So . . . does that make it more or less successful? I’m glad it exists, I look forward to seeing it again on the biggest screen available. But I doubt that anything written or said about this film is going to be remotely definitive for years — and that’s probably it’s biggest parallel to ‘2001.’

  2. Like Interstellar itself, this review is also a bit scatter-shot and confused. Is Sam Fragosa reviewing Nolan’s latest motion picture or his fan base? Or is he just baiting people for clicks? As for the movie, something the review should have been focusing more upon, I actually agree with what was reviewed. I had some problems with the relationship between Murph and Cooper, and their estrangement. It’s opening weekend, so I won’t be specific in the interest of avoiding spoilers. In general, it was a good movie, at times reaching for greatness, but ultimately left struggling under the weight of it’s heavy themes.
