Is interstellar worth watching?
I like a bit of hard sci-fi but I really can’t stand Matthew McWhatever

It's hard sci-fi like 2001
- i.e. up to a point, after which it suddenly goes hatstand beef lobster pyjamas.
You might want to turn subtitles on: the Matty McMumbles are sometimes impenetrable.

I think it's Nolan's worst. It's got some pretty effects, but it's full of it's own self-importance, and it masquerades as hard sci-fi while just being the standard love conquers all bollocks.

Nolan... not saying much.
Tenet was nothing but pretentious wank as I recall.
*sigh* I suppose I'll just have to watch Arrival. Again.

But there's tons of other stuff you probably haven't seen
Planet of the Vampires
4 hours of Flash Gordon
Radar men from the moon
The Green Slime

It's worth watching.
The last act (where it goes hatstand beef lobster pyjamas before love conquers all) is an interesting, though probably very misleading take on Schwarzschild geometry, world lines, Lorentz, and all that.
The things that piss me off are the infini-fuelled tiny spaceship and the mumbling.

Worth watching
It’s not the best SciFi film of the last ten years (a toss-up between Arrival and The Martian for me), nor is it by any means the worst.
It’s also not Nolan’s best work, but Nolan on a bad day is still a shitload better than many other directors at their peak.
Give it a go with an open mind and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. If you go into it expecting to hate it because someone on the internet told you it’s rubbish, then you won’t enjoy it at all.
