Master and Commander was brilliantly done given the world wide scale of the conflict and the casting was excellent.
BTW the 21 book series it is based on is one of the most enjoyable reading experiences in English literature....the guy is both knowlegeable and AND a super story teller and character developer.
•••
Interstellar - despite giving it the best chance...excellent seats at a full sized iMax...it just didn't cut it. Long muddled and maudlin, over ambitious and frankly a stupid premise in the first place....
Grapes of Wrath meets Armageddon...at least WIllis is funny.
Some cool sequences but spend your money on Guardians of the Galaxy ....much MUCH more fun.
Seems I'm not alone

A bombast-and-crisis megamovie, rocket-fuelled by gobbledygeek. The pummelling of plot turns and ratcheting of emotion-wrenches rarely relent. Forgets that we mere humans don't yet possess infinite patience for hyper-epic hokum.
