Newest Review is LIVE!!!! Today I revisit outer space.
Hello All,
So since I started the new Suggestion Box (which is linked down below), I’ve decided to permanently switch to that instead of future polls. However, I’ve decided to do the films that were on there in order of total votes. Today I tackle the other half of the first place tie, by reviewing a critically revered film I absolutely fucking loathe. The choice of film for this, is 2014’s Interstellar. For anyone who has been here since that start of these, they might remember that was one of my earliest reviews, and that it did not fare well with me at the time. So for doing this I also took it as an opportunity for a possible fresh perspective. How did that turn out? Let’s find out together shall we?
Plot Summary - In a futuristic earth, the planet is dying, and former astronaut Joseph Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) gets recruited for a last ditch mission to save the human race.
Pros - Without out trying to repeat myself from the previous time, I basically do enjoy the look and feel of this film, as it does truly does capture the beauty of space with breathtaking imagery. There are some good personal moments in the film as well from the cast.
Cons - I cannot stress enough how much I hate this film’s pretentiousness. It’s Christopher Nolan trying to beat over the head with how important space is, yet the answer to how to solve the problem is basically love will find a way? The whole plot is Cooper basically jeopardizing the human race so he can see his kids again, and fucking up along the way into somehow pulling it off. It’s own ending raises too many goddamn questions too.
Final Score - (Previous: 4/10) (Now: 4/10)
My opinion of this film still stands, it’s a fucking waste of almost three hours. Maybe it’s just me, I never bought into the hype and it’s at it’s core a slow drama, which I’m fucking allergic too.

Twitter Account is Here: You’ll get notices when the reviews are live as soon as I post them, plus any trailers, movie news, or updates on when I stream on Twitch. I’m always looking for new followers, and with more followers means more ways for you guys to contribute.
NEW!!! Suggestion Box is Here: Like I said above, any future reviews like these, I’d love for them to be suggestions from you guys. Suggestions will be completed in order received, and if you’d like to leave your name for a suggestion credit and anything you’d like me to promote (within reason) I’d be happy to do that too. This suggestion box will be a permanent fixture of the blog, as again I’d love any and all help you guys want to offer.
