Just do it. It's a brilliant and beautiful take on a largely unexplored niche of end-of-the-world sci-fi with plenty of scientifically grounded technology and themes. I wasn't surprised that I enjoyed Hans Zimmer's scoring, but I was surprised that his music was my favorite part of the film. He uses an organ as his primary instrument and builds such incredible crescendos that fit perfectly with the action taking place on-screen (though this technique is overused somewhat). Despite the three-hour runtime I thought the pacing was spot-on (which is typical for Nolan) and at no point did I feel like the plot was dragging. The acting is believable and moving, though I personally think McConaughy was pretty boring until he left Earth.

The biggest flaw in the movie is that it's so densely packed with science that the script feels the need to explain every single plot point and theory down to a grade-school level, and the cinematography often focuses too much on close-up shots of characters explaining what they see rather than just showing us. Even the iconic space imagery is limited to shots taken from the cameras fixed around their spacecraft. It keeps you in the perspective of the crew, but limits the scope of the scenery.

Possible spoilers ahead but I don't mention anything specific.

For the first 3/4 of the movie the science seems to be very thoroughly researched and beautifully imagined in CGI. It seems like most reviewers agree that the final act is the greatest failing of the movie, and it's largely because after exploring deep space and all the amazing phenomena the team discovers out there, it's reduced to human squabbles, 'love' as a physical, world-saving resource, and the typical quantum mechanics deus ex machina that so many hard-sci fi rely on these days. I hesitate to say there's any sort of twist at the end, but rather a mystery that is hastily unraveled in the most convenient and unbelievable way possible, ending on a bafflingly stupid paradox and wrap-up that takes away from the magnitude of every little moment of suspense felt previously. The film pulled no punches at making characters real and believable, and subsequently killing them off or subjecting them to emotional suffering, but then the ending just wraps everything up with a nice little "quantum mechanics instantly solved everything" bow on top.

that one guy waited alone, for twenty six years, for them to return from miller's planet w/ nothing but a sarcastic robot to keep him company

Ya, I could not imagine that.... I am only twenty one years old, that is a long fucking time, especially to be alone and confined to a small craft like that.

I'm going through the wormhole myself, I'm watching it on the mythical infinity mm "IMAXIMUM" screen and trying to take it all in.

Immediate future IRL isn't looking too bright, gotta get through it first and then go back to posting my trash everywhere XD
