Guardians of the galaxy: 2/10
kiddish movie with awful acting,script,direction. chris pratt looks like a poor man's version of seth rogen w/o his flab and hair
Dawn of the planet of the apes - 5.5/10 - Killer mocap quality, movie itself is pretty meh
Top Gear The Perfect Road Trip 2- 5.5/10 - Usual TP, nothing special in this one except "Iama Bellenda" lol
Sorry man but I cannot wrap my head around that rating you gave .
I am speaking this as I still remember you rating Agneepath (2012) a 0/10 and terming it unwatchable beyond a few minutes. It surely was one of the better hindi films to have come out back then.

Agneepath the Remake, probably does not even deserve a zero. It was so horrid and stupid. Where as I am a huge fan of the original. I have both versions. Well, as for MK, is a true life story, and the acting was much better. Ok the Hindi accent sounded weird, but it told what was what, about the sports celebrity.
perhaps Mads Mikkelsen'sbest performance till date. His acting intensity is superbly projected in this movie. you really feel for the character and even shed a tear or 2 at some scenes.

Interstellar - 9.5/10
Never before has a movie gone from sh*t to all time favorite list in a span of 20 minutes.
At one point I was yawning and thinking that Sunshine was a better space movie than this until Mr. Nolan came out guns blazing with his mix of science with metaphysics with spiritual undertones.
Some minor complaints were going through my head throughout the movie but all was forgiven after the conclusion.
Firstly, I was expecting a ton of impressive space porn but i thought the cgi quality was really bad, I know it's not his style to go overboard with such effects and the transitions in the natural environments were indeed well done but the space parts felt like i was watching older seasons of the universe.
The production quality too wasn't of top quality, they could've done a better job with the spaceship, suits and interiors. Some parts of the ship looked really crude like public bathrooms, like Matt Damon literally came out of a shoddy plastic bag. Maybe it's because we've seen better looking sets in Gravity, Moon and Prometheus but then again this movie wasn't only about people stuck in space so it's ok i guess. Also, worst design for a robot, ever. It came across as really lazy, someone decided to throw two sheets of aluminum together with a monitor and call it a day.
The background score is the worst i've ever heard. All i could think of was some 80 yr old playing shitty tunes on an organ in a church, the volume was too high in some sections for no damn reason.
I know the movie is long in order to build up to the conclusion but the first half was really a mixed bag, it felt too simple if you've already read a ton of books or watched documentaries on such subjects but it suddenly throws a lot of concepts in quick succession towards the average viewer in a very short span of time, they could've been eased into it slowly instead of squeezing everything into their head in the last 30 mins. During the interval i heard people saying it felt like a confusing mumbo jumbo documentary, but there was pin drop silence in the last 10 mins lol, i hope they weren't confused.
That drone scene felt really silly.
I thought Matthew McConaughey was reprising his role as a mumbling philosopher when i was bored in the first half.
There was also no need for him to tell Murph that it was him all along in the end, the emotional reunion was impactful enough.
I'm just nitpicking now here, movie still deserves a 9.5
And does the movie have subtitles in all theatres? It was the same with Inception, maybe the distributors think Indians can't make out out half the dialogs in a Nolan movie. It's infuriating to watch for anime fans, our eyes lock on to text by default
Well one has to discretely not compare this offering to the original cult classic which came out ~a decade back (and had us jumping in our seats, seeing the NOIR and extreme use of color and hand sketched graphics). The characters were not fleshed out too well in this sequel. Ok, Dwight and Eva (literally and figuratively) were done nicely, but the rest of the cast seemed like fillers. Marve, all ready had been cemented in the annals of Hollywood-classic-characters, so we cannot complain about him. Hartigan (Willis) was lame and really not required, and Nancy (Alba) just could not fit the bill of having more (extra) screen presence, and actually the idea of having something to do in SC2. Roark did the job fine, but I really could not understand why Johnny (Gordon-Levitt) was actually (and his subsequent story) inserted in the film. Basically too many unlinked passages tied to seamless editing, which overall made no sense.
