On the first viewing, Damons cameo was a nice surprise.

But on a rewatch,Damons appearance inInterstellaris so jarring that it stops the movie dead.

But one negative criticism that comes up time and time again is that his sound design is infuriating.

A lot of his dialogue is inaudible as it gets lost in the mix andInterstellaris no different.

Its the emotional peak of the movie and its nowhere near the climax.

Its like a dumber version ofLa Jetee.

The story focuses so much on Coops relationship with Murph that his relationship with Tom feels like an afterthought.

Despite being Coops son, Tom has very little bearing on the plot.

Toms scenes feel pretty pointless, especially when hes all grown up and takes over the familys farm.

From Christopher Nolan, Interstellar imagines a future where the Earth is plagued by a life-threatening famine, and a small team of astronauts is sent out to find a new prospective home among the stars. Despite putting the mission first, Coop (Matthew McConaughey) races against time to return home to his family even as they work to save mankind back on Earth.

Toms role inInterstellaris so inconsequential that he couldve been cut from the film entirely and almost nothing would change.

Interstellaris a VFX masterpiece with some of the most stunning CG effects ever put on the big screen.

InInterstellar, Hathaway is tasked with delivering one of the most cringeworthy monologues in movie history.

This speech is more likely to make the audience roll their eyes than tug on their heartstrings.

On a rewatch ofInterstellartoday, this goofy monologue is likely to induce cringing.

The first act is nice and evenly paced.

But towards the end of its second act, it really starts to drag out.

Its really obvious that it was supposed to be directed by Spielberg before being reshaped into a Nolan movie.

It couldnt be clearer thatInterstellarwas supposed to be a Spielberg picture.
