Surfing on ship doors not withstanding, the visuals are the one and only thing I enjoyed about the movie. The look of the thing was fantastic. I really wanted to like it.
I don't really expect space stuff to be handled properly in most movies, because I don't think most audiences would actually like it. It's one of those things people say they want, but don't really.
But yeah, that part and a few others were silly. But the overall mood of the movie was just so perfect IMO.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Are you not sure how you feel about Inception, The Dark Knight Rises, Interstellar, and Dunkirk? Well, get ready for Christopher Nolan: The Movie, in which we finally get to watch Christopher Nolan crawl right up into his own butt. It's a dark place where nothing makes sense and it is almost impossible to hear anything.
