But if you watch it with the expectations of "2001", you may be very disappointed.
In a compromise, I think interstellar is closer to a visually enhanced version of "Contact". I think this is closer to the situation where Interstellar has low critics on rotten tomatoes and Metacritic (~7) and high audience ratings (9+).
Advantages: It
can be seen that the visual effects have been worked hard, and there are countless tributes to "2001" place. Black hole crossing, docking, the shape of TARS, etc.
It is impossible to deny that this is a very ambition film, and this alone deserves praise for his courage. Few of today's Hollywood directors have such ambitions to try to pay tribute to 2001 in such a high profile.
The music collaboration between Nolan and Hans Zimmer is also a consistent highlight, and this film is no exception.
Disadvantages:
Nolan has always been good at narrative structure, but Interstellar is not as good as he used to be in this regard. The rhythm is unnecessarily slow, especially in the first half.
Interstellar has obvious problems with Sound Mixing. I was watching the imax version, and the background sound in many places far overwhelmed the dialogue.
Edit the details. The overall effect of the shot that was hit by the huge waves was messy and chaotic. Some switching is not natural enough. I personally feel that the L Cut before the rocket countdown takes off is too long. In addition, some transitions that are gradual and gradually out of shady do not look very smooth.
Finally, the biggest problem: it is unfair to compare Interstellar with 2001: A Space Odyssey. Between venturing to create an epic work that is famous in the history of shadows, and earnestly making an excellent blockbuster science fiction blockbuster, the Nolan brothers finally chose the latter, especially in terms of plot. "2001: A Space Odyssey" is great, in addition to Kubrick's neurotic pursuit of detail accuracy and efficient use of a scalpel, it is also reflected in Kubrick's icy, elevated perspective, and his relationship with Arthur Clarke's vision of the world and philosophical depth reflected in the thousand-year evolution of mankind and the predictions of where mankind will go in the future. Interstellar is too entangled in children's love, all kinds of sensational tears, avoiding high and widow, but severely weakened the depth of its drama as a sci-fi work. No matter how you pay tribute, it is unreasonable to compare the two, because it is difficult for today's movies to survive out of the box office. Interstellar has done a good job in its positioning, and has produced very good Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters with the main theme of personal heroism. But 2001 is completely above a different level.
As for the scientific details in science fiction, I am not a physics student, so I won't comment too much. Personally, I think there are only buzz words such as quantum and relativity, but they are not reasonably connected.
