I didn't care for Interstellar. Too loud, and altogether incoherent. Nolan's worst film.

Guardians of the Galaxy was the best movie I've seen this year. Saw it twice. It was the first film since original Star Wars that felt like Star Wars. Tons of fun.

Runner up was Tom Cruise's sci-fi outing Edge of Tomorrow. Awesome film.

Lucas was right in that film is becoming a niche market. All of the actors and directors are moving to TV for the quality stories, more dependable work, and the chance to build characters over many episodes and season. They're fine to leave film as the arena for small, independent films or big budget comic book stuff.

TV is where it's at.

Interstellar was awful. Simply awful.

I keep hearing great things about Interstellar, but when I look at the plot summaries, I can’t help but think it isn’t a bit over complicated.

Loved Guardians. Just a fun movie. Other than that I haven’t seen a good movie in a while.

You are completely correct.

The enormous success of AMC's Breaking Bad and HBO's Game of Thrones proves that 11-13 episode per season one-hour shows are the future--especially with all the new shows shot for HDTV. Indeed, many movie stars are signing up to do these shows. Indeed, I would not be surprised that within the next 5-7 years we may actually see the Harry Potter books remade as a 11-13 episode per season (first three books) and 12-14 episode per season (last four books) TV series.

Interstellar caused you to really, really think...HARD.
Probably the most technically accurate movie done on the subject.
Still, very very difficult to follow.
I picked up on most of it after I left the theater and thought about it.

The loud soundtrack was distracting and added nothing.
