Interstellar is a great pick here because I hate it with a passion and couldn't have felt more called out in here with any other choice.
It is so fucking boring my god. Why does it need to be 3 hours long? I cant remember a single scene of that movie that evoked any amount of emotion in me.
Even the scene with messages from the family?
I literally don't remember after sitting through that movie twice. Everything felt so contrived to me that my brain could not suspend disbelief long enough to become invested in what was happening.
I 100% agree, because the film spends ridiculously little time with actual characterization. A lot of time with really long "cinematic" shots, though.
All good stories are about the characters. If you don't write them to feel like real people, then everything that occurs doesn't seem to have any grounding in reality. We are meant to find meaning in stories through the characters because events in a sequence have none without a relatable and consistent characters struggling against them.
