Christopher Nolan's new film delivers exactly what a pessimist would expect if a puffed-up Batman director thought he could eclipse Kubrick's '2001'. Instead of anything original, 'Interstellar's' long-winded prologue introduces the familiar components of a Steven Spielberg/Norman Rockwell Sci-Fi co-production - a dying Earth, a widowed ex-astronaut farmer, his chiseled jaw, a feisty daughter, a crusty grandpa, paranormal activity, dust storms, baseball, cornfields - and lots of corn.

After about an hour - which seems like two - a valiant crew lifts off in search of a planet to save humanity. Once they've journeyed through an intergalactic star-gate, the implausibility quotient increases to cosmic levels of absurdity. Scientific hocus-pocus is stirred into the sentimental sludge as wormholes, gigantic tidal waves, cliff-edge fisticuffs, explosions, betrayals and black hole roller-coaster rides eventually lead to the obligatory tear-jerking climax. The visual effects are above average, but far short of awesome. When all is said and done, the film's mawkishness, self-importance and grinding tedium leave one rooting for humanity's extinction.
