Interstellar is a movie that you will either buy what is being sold or you won’t.
The mystery of why George Clooney’s The Monuments Men was moved from its original December 2013 release date to the first weekend of February has been answered. Unfortunately, it’s not a good answer. The film proves to be at home in the usual sludge of February movies; a major disappointment for a once perceived Oscar
It’s tough when you walk out of a film and aren’t sure whether you enjoyed it or not, but this was the situation I found myself in upon leaving my screening of Elysium. The film, Neil Blomkamp’s first after the superb District 9, isn’t a supremely ambitious film and yet it carries on as if it is, mollywhopping you over the head with big messages and set pieces. Whether that’s for better or for worse, is hard to tell and part of the reason why although this film will entertain you, it fails to really rise to anything more.
