When I saw all the failing scores, I couldn't believe it. This was actually a joint project of "Noranga Hall". It was shocking..
In addition, there is also "Variety Show" magazine, which also gave a sixty-point evaluation.
“This movie could have unfolded in many ways, but unfortunately, Nolan chose to present this ambitious theme project in the most boring and petty way, completely lost in the vastness and insignificance of space. , not even Hall's superior performance can rescue the mediocrity and tackiness at the heart of the subject..
Is this the only level of Nolan’s understanding of family ties? Or is it that Nolan’s film language is not enough to show the complexity and depth of human nature? The director who made "The Dark Knight" is still there now? The only good thing is that those soliloquies in space cannot be heard on earth..”
Starting from the severe negative reviews of "Playlist", "Interstellar" has been being pursued by film critics. Severe criticisms are endless. It can be clearly felt that people in the industry hate the core of Nolan's story. And I completely disagree with the main theme and direction..
If you read the movie reviews carefully, you can find that the criticism mainly comes from disappointment and disparity..
“2001Science fiction movies such as "A Space Odyssey" and "Blade Runner" can withstand the test of time and eventually transform into film history classics. The main reason lies in the discussion of human nature. In the context of science fiction - the relationship between humans and clones, humans and machines. The exploration of human nature in time undoubtedly elevates the ideological core of the film to a whole new level..
But "Interstellar" focuses all its attention on..."power generation with love". From the perspective of depth and breadth of thinking, this is definitely a serious miss. Although at the end of the movie, Renly once again used his performance to win back the victory. , giving the theme more possibilities to extend; however, starting from the reunion of Cooper and Murphy, the entire story has lost the possibility of profound thinking. Not to mention it has withstood the test of time, and its "soap opera" nature can now be seen.
This is definitely not the space epic people were expecting.
It seems that this is the most severe critical attack Renly's work has faced since "Transcendence". To be precise, even "Transcendence" has not faced such a fierce attack - at least, "Transcendence" is an auteur film , whether the film critics like it or not, they all know that the director is not trying to please the audience; but "Interstellar" is a commercial movie, and communication with the audience is undoubtedly the most important, which also makes the film critics full of fire..
So, does this mean that Renly's "Waterloo" has just appeared?？
Sadly, haters will have to wait a little longer.
The cruelty of the negative reviews, the frustration and disappointment of the neutral reviews, were all drowned in the cheers and applause of the positive reviews. A total of thirty-eight positive reviews sounded the clarion call for the "Interstellar" comprehensive media review.！
“The New York Times," 100%, "Is it another '2001: A Space Odyssey'? Obviously not! 'Interstellar' simply tells a very light and very personal story, focusing all its attention on the theme of 'love and sacrifice', bringing about the heaviest and most profound emotional collision in 2014! Nolan brought a more sincere emotional bonding experience than 'Inception'.”
“The Hollywood Reporter, 100%, "I can predict that many people will compare this movie next to '2001: A Space Odyssey', which is actually a kind of praise; but unfortunately, this is not another one." "The Odyssey", and Nolan is not another Kubrick. Nolan told a story of returning home in his own way, crossing the obstacles of time and space, leaving aside the discussion of human nature and divinity, and It sincerely tells the most real and intimate bond between human beings..”
“2001The original English name of "A Space Odyssey" is "2001: A Space Odyssey", which draws on the story of the second half of Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey" to interpret a space adventure; now, "Interstellar" also tells an Odyssey-style story Go home story, so the "Hollywood Reporter" says it.
“"Chicago Sun", 100%, "Undoubtedly, this is the most outstanding science fiction movie in the new century. It uses a thrilling space adventure to think about the meaning of life and the meaning of family, and even further explores the relationship between human beings and society. Relationship gives space science fiction movies new vitality from another perspective! The actors led by Hall, Hathaway and Chastain gave wonderful performances, which made the story full of countless charms and worth chewing. There is no doubt that this is a masterpiece.！”
“"Empire", 100%, "one of the most exciting movie viewing experiences of the new century!" Full of wisdom! Full of special effects! It’s also full of reflection and precipitation! It is almost equivalent to Stephen Hawking's "Star Trek": a space opera that takes place inside the brain, and then deduce the changes of the soul in time and space, perfectly combining science and human nature! The most surprising part is still Renly Hall. His unique touch gives the character and the movie an amazing unique charm. Can anyone else say 'no' to him?？”
“Daily Telegraph", 100%, "This is Nolan's most ambitious and outstanding work to date! A high degree of integration of technology and ideas! Truly all scientific theories and shooting techniques are used to serve emotions and characters! Role! Role! This is the core of the entire movie, and it gives full play to the unique charm of a strong cast and cast. It is definitely enough to rank among the best in the new century and is a masterpiece not to be missed.！”

Still one hundred percent.
There are as many as ten media that have given full marks to the media, including absolutely authoritative media such as "The New York Times" and "Hollywood Reporter", which have laid the foundation for the comprehensive media review of "Interstellar" with an unswerving attitude. Basically, the number of perfect scores from ten professional media is exactly the same as the number of ten media that gave neutral reviews. In other words, as many media are dissatisfied as there are media that give perfect praise without reservation..
It can be clearly seen that the most dissatisfied part of the medium-rated media is the "emotional" part. The continuous rendering that is too soap opera and too sensational completely destroys the depth and weight of the science fiction movie - in fact, this can also be seen as " The difference between "hard science fiction" and "soft science fiction" is that hard science fiction always has more exploration possibilities at the technical level, so it has the possibility of expansion in artificial intelligence, human nature and divinity, etc..
“"Gravity" can be regarded as a half-example. This work cannot be regarded as hard science fiction, but the core discussion about the origin of life has the possibility of sublimation and interpretation, so it has been unanimously praised by film critics; "Interstellar" On the contrary, it can be said that the gods have returned to the human world.
The perfect media just recognized the "soft science fiction" part. They believed that this was Nolan's discussion of human nature. Although it was a little cliché and simple, it also completed the transition from science fiction to emotion - this cannot be regarded as A kind of sublimation should become a kind of return, so that the audience can find resonance.
“2001Is "A Space Odyssey" a classic? Yes! But that doesn't mean all science fiction movies need to go in the direction of "2001: A Space Odyssey".
The same factors are disadvantages in the eyes of some people and advantages in the eyes of others. This is the difference..
In addition to the ten full-scoring media, there are another 28 media that have given positive reviews. The rating range extends from 70 points to 95 points. The wide span can still be felt from the side. What "Interstellar" has to offer is The heated debate caused by the film, the ambiguous movie-watching experience is indeed a mixture of good and bad..
“"Vanity Fair", 95 points, "Unexpectedly, 'Interstellar' has become a ferocious beast in the primitive jungle of Hollywood. The magnificent pictures present an epic feeling, while the delicate emotions awaken resonance, seemingly light and The simple bond narrative has caused a lot of reflection. Although I know this is a cliché, but... Renly Hall is still the core of the entire movie, and his performance once again lit up the big screen！”
“New York Post, 90%, "Like all successful science fiction movies in the past, Christopher Nolan used powerful image language and visual effects to create a space adventure, and ultimately reflected all the mirror images on human beings themselves. body, examining oneself through science fiction. Although Nolan’s discussion topic this time is a bit narrow, the depth and complexity are surprising, and it is more sincere than any previous work..”
“"A complete movie", 88 points, "Although the movie is too long to complain about, and the third part completely degenerates into a soap opera; it still cannot hide the fact that 'Interstellar' is a space opera, and it deserves all forms of praise. , truly touches the softness deep in the heart and the thoughts deep in the soul through images, about human nature and time, and most interestingly, about the bond and loneliness between individuals and families..
The brilliance and excellence of this movie make people think again: Should we bring all the directors and producers of science fiction movies into a screening room, and then collectively watch Stanley Kubrick's storyboards—— That was a manuscript written a light-year ago, but it is still the best in the industry. Nolan only learned half of his skills, and he has already made a candidate for the best science fiction movie in the new century..”
“"The Independent Telegraph", 83, "full of wit and surprises. 'Interstellar' is exactly the kind of work that the contemporary Hollywood industry most desperately needs. No matter how much critics hate soap operas and sensational parts, it is undeniable that , it finds a balance between business and art. Nolan has evolved the mysterious space into a children's playground, but every picture of visual special effects and sound effects can trigger the audience's thinking, at least, It encourages you to think about time, family affection, loneliness, and yourself..”
