    I’ve had the opposite problem.

    Take… Interstellar. I watched it. It was pretty and great around track. But the science, plot, and interactions were pretty awful.

    Little did I know that for the rest of human time I would be reading about what a Master piece it is and that the internet just can’t get enough interstellar.

    Sometimes I wonder if there’s another movie with the same name. Because I can’t believe I’m the only one with a working logic center who watched this movie.

      I loved this movie when it came out, but you’re right, there isn’t much worth in it if you think about the plot or the science for more than 2 seconds. Soundtrack is still one of my favorites, though. Last time I watched it, I was high as a kite, and that made it pretty enjoyable.

      My wife and I walked out of the first iron man movie. It was so stupid and cheesy. 1 gazillion dollar franchise later, I still don’t get it. People had fun with those movies and I’m glad for that.

        Felt similar when a girl I was seeing in college dragged me to Ant Man. Afterward, the entire group of people we went with were raving about how good it was,am and I was left wondering if we all saw the same movie.

        I thought the first one was entertaining and pretty good. The ones that follow are very bad though, and still massively popular. They get so stupid that I just can’t suspend disbelief any more, and have to turn them off.

      Emotionally, I think it does a great job. Logically, it’s pretty stupid. The music, the effects, and the plot all work together to make you feel something, but the plot doesn’t really make sense when you think about it at all. I don’t think that should be a requirment. There are plenty of stories that do the same thing.

      I think the issue is that it’s sci-fi, which has a certain expectation of logic. The characters are all scientists, but then they just ditch logic. I think it took themes from another genre and put them into sci-fi and it did it fairly effectively. It’s just the sci-fi is usually there to make you think, but Interstellar you’re just supposed to feel and not think.

      I had the same exact impression of it. It’s so refreshing to see other people thinking the same of it.

      It is useless to read these review of movies that target certain market. People who love science fiction would glorify the movie, while other who don’t care will not bother writing or thinking about it.

      I went to see it in a theater, and left half way through it felt like a waste of time.
