So when did you think the movie should have finished? Because that didn't really take up all of the last 15 minutes, more like about 5.

I understand what you're saying but ultimately I don't feel remotely qualified to confirm it or deny it. It's clear that a leap of some form was taken in the third act. How big is that leap? I don't have any idea. I intend to read The Science of Interstellar to get a better idea but I'm aware that it will only be coming from one side of the argument. I would like to get a better understanding of the foundations on which such a theory is built. In any case, as I've said before, I found it emotionally affecting despite its questionable realism which was enough to make me go with it, but I do understand why others may have not.

Oh, one final thing that should be noted is that the idea of love as a transcendent force is only something we hear from the characters in the film. It is not depicted as objective fact, merely as observations and rationalizations made by the overwhelmed characters who struggle to make sense of the events that they go through.

Fully agree.

What parts didn't you like? I read your comment and some less than perfect reviews  and went into it not expecting it to be as good as his other films but I thought it really good, certainly not worse than his other films.

However:

Did you watch it in IMAX?

I've seen it twice now and I enjoyed my second viewing significantly more. The first time I was trying so hard to keep up with the scientific jargon and all the plot developments that I didn't really connect with the emotional core. Second time I just allowed myself to get swept away in the experience and I found it kind of beautiful.

Spoiler:

No, I didn't see it in IMAX.

Hunger Games 3 The Hunger Strikes Back - 3.5/10. Pacing was absolutely awful, it was slow and had barely any action. It's definitely suffered from the cash grab of being a 2 part finale.

Batman Begins wasn't great, hence why it's behind LOTR and The Godfather (in that order) for GOAT trilogy.
