As a musician I really do dislike heavy handed film scores. I was
taught they are to "support" the story not be a character in it.
There's way too much of it in today's movies. I actually prefer films
with little or no music.

Please do not allow my excess in posting less-than-positive reviews of
this film dissuade you from seeing it. It probably IS the most
true-to-science scifi movie ever made. We're just picking nits.
If/when you see it, you'll get immediately what my biggest nit is --
the deus ex machina that Nolan doesn't seem to be able to do without.
That said, it was a marvelous ride from start to finish, and a grand
tribute to the film it was intended to be a tribute to, "2001."

Had to have a read of that as I've no plans to see it, sounds
spectacular and quite a good idea. I don't actually mind if sciencey
things don't make 100% sense, I wouldn't be such a Star Trek fan if I
did - you wouldn't see photon torpedoes for instance - so I'd probably
enjoy it.
What's stopped me was the memory of /Inception /and it's non-sensical
deux ex machina that dreams within dreams run at a slower pace the
more of them there are. As soon as they said that I knew that the plot
would rely heavily on it. Bit too convenient, my enthusiasm waned the
longer it went on which is probably the opposite effect to the one
they wanted.
Wormholes around black holes are cool though, and theoretically
possible but a lot of arguing goes on about what you could actually do
with them, time travel is allegedly possible as long as you aren't
expecting to go back further than the age of the wormhole. Hawking
claims that entering the wormhole would cause it to collapse in the
usual quantum interference way, but others think you could hold it
open with the right technology. The tricky bit is finding a spinning
black hole in the first place and getting close enough to find a
wormhole without getting stretched to oblivion.
I'm tempted to see what they make of that concept.

I am still fairly positive about the movie, although I can definitely
see all the things this reviewer bitches about, and even agree with
them, at least partly. Especially the "unbelievable women characters"
bits.
But I pass it along for its first line. You just gotta love a review
that starts, "In space, no one can hear you facepalm." That would make
me want to see the movie, if I hadn't already. :-)

Christopher Nolan still doesn't know how to write adult women, and
Hans Zimmer is a monster who must be stopped
