Locked Down (2021)
Not a great story, just fun to watch
There's a lot of disappointment from people who expected a good heist plot or a compelling marriage romcom.
I went in with no expectations at all, and the strong acting and good score were quite enough to make it enjoyable.
Interstellar (2014)
Perfect for 2014
It starts out on a high horse about scientific reason, but then devolves into love- transcends-physics human exceptionalism, turns on a scientist becoming selfishly evil, and wraps up with deus ex machina. And of course our hero is spared by the mystical future-of-humanity gods.
I was very happy about the gradual setting of the dystopian future, though the Indian drone was poorly integrated. (Left in for the Dell product placement, maybe?) And the rendition of the wormhole was beautiful. Cooper's attachment to family at home setting him apart from the crew was a bit over-explained, but it from Mann's treachery onward it seemed a parade of tropes.
I mean, really
the inside of a black hole's event horizon was his daughter's bedroom. If this was the plot of a Star Trek episode it would be one of the forgettable ones.
