I can understand some of the negative reviews. i can understand some finding this boring.. what i do not understand is the venom in some of these reviews.
This is the film Interstellar wanted to be.
it's visually gorgeous and brad pitt performence is a master class in sublety and nuance. the film is a journey where a man who thinks he is master of his emotions a facade that cracks as his journey progresses to the point that when emotion comes to the surface it has an emotional punch. this is what was missing in interstellar. i just could not care about the lead in that film.
the attention to detail is amazing, the action set pieces are wonderfully crafted. ( a 'gunfight between moon rovers is particularly memorable).
i feel this is a film to be watched again to fully absorb the wonder of it all, like a kubrick movie i think repeat viewings will make the viewer more appreciative of how good this movie actually is. no superhero antics here, just beautifully crafted scifi drama. and possibly brad pitt's finest moment.
