"Playlist", twenty-five points, "We are all looking forward to a contemporary sci-fi oracle comparable to '2001 A Space Odyssey', showing the mystery of space and the complexity of human nature; but 'Interstellar' is like a Like a liar, it shows an interstellar travel process that seems to have never been appreciated. After thinking about it, it is a familiar movie scene and a vulgar emotional resonance. We have seen too many similar movies.
More importantly, we all know Renly Hall is a good actor, but we don't need to see 'Gravity' and 'Interstellar' in a row in just six months With such a highly sexual work, is Hall's performance outstanding? Needless to say; but did Hall break through himself? Apparently not. To be honest, I don't understand the need for this movie to be made. What was going on in the Nolan brothers' minds? "
with full force!
"Playlist" magazine did not hide its disgust and hatred at all, and there was no soft-mouthed meaning between its words. It criticized the whole movie in a sharp and direct way. Even Renly was criticized. He directly pointed the finger at Renly, who was "not enterprising". This should be the first time that Renly has ever encountered criticism in terms of performance.
The above is just a short review, in the full long review, "playlist" professional film critic James - Rocchi (jams-rocchi) expressed his views more completely.
Renly's excellence and excellence are unquestionable, but after four consecutive years of Oscar nominations, egot feats, and unbeaten performances, James Roche believes that what people want from Renly, and what he expects from him. Li's requirements for himself should be raised to a higher level, because Renly is now a well-deserved leader in the whole of Hollywood. Even if he can't achieve breakthroughs in every work, he should at least not repeat himself.
"If Ben Affleck or Gerard Butler or Adam Sandler are repeating themselves, does anyone care? Of course not! Because they like to repeat themselves and they are so used to repeating themselves that even the audience Get used to it. But Renly Hall shouldn't be like that!"
James Roche expressed his strong opinion. He believes that the homogeneity of "Gravity" and "Interstellar" is too close. Renly's performance has layers and depths, but he still has not been able to get rid of similar and similar routines. This is certainly a step backwards for Renly, who he believes is starting to become "lazy".
Undoubtedly, this is a very interesting and very special criticism, not only the first time in Renly's career, but also the first since the negative wave of awards season to have a really meaningful criticism. People can disagree, they can refute, even It can be sneered and dismissive, but James Roche is not "against for the sake of opposition" and really speaks his mind and has content to back it up.
This is extremely rare!
Of course, he also did not hide his disgust for the work "Interstellar". He even made a footnote with the fierce adjective "bad soap opera", Jing Wei clearly expressed his position, emphasizing that this is "Nolan's current The worst work in the director's career so far" and thinks this is a big step backward, Nolan needs to review himself, "What kind of work do you want to shoot, not just content with Stanley - Kubrick's superficial and superficial idolatry".
A downright bad review, without leaving any sympathy, the "playlist" clearly stated its position, and sent the first dazzling red negative review for "Interstellar", which was opened mightily. The prelude to the media review.
Objectively speaking, in the comprehensive media reviews of commercial films, this is a normal scene. Even "Inception", which has received the support of countless die-hard fans, has also suffered from bad reviews; Therefore, the significance of becoming a comprehensive review is to draw an overall conclusion after counting multiple professional media, and make a judgment on the quality of the film.
The negative review of the "playlist" is only one of the media's comprehensive reviews, or more accurately, the only one.
After the premieres in Los Angeles and New York ended one after another, the comprehensive media review was officially released, and a total of 49 professional media commented at the first time, which also easily surpassed "Captain America 2" and became the first summer file this year. Since its unveiling, one of the works with the largest number of film reviews in the media can clearly see the attention of "Interstellar".
Even after the turmoil of the promotion, the publicity period was greatly shortened; even though the feedback from the internal test screening was ambiguous, casting uncertainty on the quality of the film, it was still one of the most watched works in 2014. Everyone is wondering what sparks can collide between Renly and Nolan, and film critics in professional media are no exception.
Forty-nine media, a total of forty-nine!
A bad review.
Ten middle reviews.
Thirty-eight good reviews.
It can be seen from the data comparison alone that the media review continued the ambiguous attitude of the previous internal test screenings, and "Interstellar" failed to win the one-sided support of film critics like "Gravity".
However, "Gravity" was originally an art film that took the film festival route. Warner Bros. had hesitated in the tactical selection stage of the awards season, which is the best proof, and the subsequent explosion of the commercial box office can be regarded as a surprise; "Crossing" is a commercial film aimed at the box office. Whether it is Thanksgiving or the summer, the box office is the main goal of Warner Bros. It is not surprising that the media reputation is uneven, and it is even acceptable.
"Los Angeles Times", 40 points, "Nolan's tribute and interpretation of '2001 A Space Odyssey' is undoubtedly all my expectations for this film, but unfortunately, Nolan completely lost the science fiction works for the unknown, for The discussion of human nature has completely lost the grandeur and esoteric of the space epic, and in the end it is only filled with piles of emotional fetters and settled in the rut of human self-movement, which is undoubtedly disappointing.
Objectively speaking, the visual effects, sound effects, and film editing are all excellent, and the actors led by Hall, Chastain, and Hathaway also gave excellent performances, but all of them are based on the 'father and daughter' Affectionate', which is absolutely unbearable depravity for a sci-fi movie. Nolan's performance should be higher than this. It has to be said that Hall lost his acumen for the first time in script selection. "
"San Francisco Chronicle," Fifty Points, "For much of the film, Nolan once again showed his mettle, utterly unafraid to use a $165 million mega-production to tell a story about a The majestic theme of human self-sacrifice and the choice between the individual and the larger self; until Nolan made the two protagonists resolutely choose to return to Earth, the thematic core of the entire film began to collapse, and finally became a family soap opera. The huge theme has not been able to sublimate, but has fallen back, which is undoubtedly a regression for science fiction movies.
If talking about the great parts of the movie, I'd go for Renly Hall. While the film didn't break through on the sci-fi level, Hall's performance gave the characters and story the potential for more discussion, even if it wasn't what I expected. "
"The Guardian", Fifty Points, "An epic with majestic visual effects, but a farce with shallow content. The script lacks enough foreshadowing to give more room for the characters and stories to develop, which also makes the subsequent plot twists difficult. In a frivolous way, it tries to show the insignificance and humility of human beings in the face of time, but on the development curve of "love can conquer time and space", it loses all its profoundness and becomes a cheap sensational work.

At the performance level, Nolan once again showed his timidity in tuning/teaching actors All the finesse and sculpting are lost, and in the end what emerges is just a roaring performance of a Colombian soap opera. Fortunately, Hall saved it all, restrained and delicate, simple and profound performance calmed the scene, otherwise the movie would have been a big car accident, can't imagine how bad it would have been; but even Hall's performance Wasted by the script. "
"Village Voice", Sixty Points, "Whatever Nolan's strengths and strengths are, the only certainty is that he lacks a touch of humanity. All his films lack the real 'sex/feel' 'I'm not talking about scenes of applauding for love or pictures of undressing, in fact, those pictures are never really 'sexy', just purely sensual; in all of Nolan's works, The connection of human nature is just a 'sacred idea', just like a concept or a term on the textbook 'Bible', it cannot capture the flesh and blood under the human skin.
'Interstellar' tries to break the shackles of time and space through the fetters of family affection, but the lack of character details makes the script look more like a good student filling a series of elements in order to piece together a chemical equation, but there is no real soul.
Renly-Hall's post-premier Q&A mentions the lack of 'Tom' character, which just proves that Hall is still right about the script's human capture of the character In fact, Hall's performance is great To a certain extent, it makes up for Nolan's shortcomings, but Nolan's directorial control is too powerful, and even Hall, as an actor, can make very limited remedies.
After watching the movie, think carefully, and the answer comes out: all reflections, all shocks, and all moving are from Hall's performance, from the spirituality that Hall gave to the characters, not about the movie. . Without Hall, it's a soulless popcorn movie, and I don't think it's better than 'Transformers'. "
