There are many words to describe Interstellar. Entertainment isn't one of them.

"Interstellar" is a grand undertaking, but in shooting for the stars, it loses its footing. It goes to infinity and beyond, when infinity would have been plenty.

After the first hour, with its poignant depiction of humanity's decline, Interstellar always seems to be rebuilding its momentum, offering plenty to think about but little to hold on to.
Original Score: 2/4

It's a film I didn't exactly enjoy and can't say I would recommend. And yet as an event, as a singular movie-watching opportunity, it's undoubtedly worthwhile.
Original Score: 2/4

Interstellar may be a preposterous epic, but it is an epic nonetheless.

It's as grand as it is introspective and as grounded as it is existential. By the end of the nearly three-hour running time - it goes by in a flash - you feel as if you've experienced something that is so rarely captured on film.

Christopher Nolan more than deserves however much money the studios are willing to keep giving him to make these brainy beautiful blockbusters.

Preposterous, pseudointellectual, poorly constructed, clichéd, impenetrably masculine, goofy and possessed of an indecipherable ending, Interstellar is the mother of all misfires.

Moreso than any of his previous projects, Interstellar left me largely confounded, wondering if Nolan had finally "lost it."

The old saying "shoot for the moon - even if you miss you'll land among the stars" has never rung quite as true as it does here.

There is absolutely a breathlessness to Interstellar, although perhaps too much of that is huffing and puffing.

I found it emotionally moving and... what I wanted in a good sci-fi movie.

Interstellar may not be perfect, but tent-pole filmmaking with such ambition and grandeur is always worth celebrating.

With the likes of Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, Casey Affleck, Ellen Burstyn and John Lithgow as supporting players, it is redundant to say that the ensemble adds so much more to a film that boasts excellence in all departments.

A contrived science fiction film without authenticity, emotionally and narratively.

A celestial tapestry of space exploration, time bender and heartfelt human story, it earns its place among the stars.

Literally reaches for the stars -- and comes up short. Despite the best efforts of a talented cast and writer/director Christopher Nolan, this film just can't overcome a script with black hole-size plot craters.

Interstellar is impressive. It is superbly made, and combines compelling thought about everything from ecology to the nature of time to a child's belief in ghosts into something cohesive and mostly engrossing.

The summary work of Nolan: apotheosis of his signature where he attempts to merge the philosophical and emotional in entertaining genre packages.
