I agree on the wormhole thing, the rest isn't substantial. You might not like Nolan's style, whereas I like the way he writes dialogue. For instance, I loved Matt Damon talking to Coop while he is dying, emphatically explaining what Coop is going through. The part about "love" is far from mumbo jumbo, it's taking a feeling that is impossible to explain and interpreting it as a connection that transcends time and space - the discussion is key to the climax.
Listening to garbage new age truisms about love and time and space, repeated ad nauseam is not my idea of a good film.
Shit like:
“Mankind was born on Earth. It was never meant to die here.”
“We used to look up at the sky and wonder about our place in the stars, now we just look down and wonder about our place in the dirt.”
Come on. The film is filled with junk like this. These one-liners that pretend to be profound, that look like they've been stripped out of some monologue. Of course Nolan isn't likely to use the monologue technique, nor narration, because blockbuster audiences wouldn't be down with that, so he strips his monologues and soliloquies into parts and inserts them haphazardly into dialogue. It's not really deniable. It's quite obvious that this is what he is doing. It doesn't come across as even slightly natural and is in fact at times very irritating.
Or Amelia and that terrible speech about how love may solve the whole gravity, space time problem:
"Love isn’t something we invented. It’s observable, powerful, it has to mean something... Love is the one thing we’re capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space."
I mean, her whole second-act exhortation on love and its power is absolute drivel.
It comes across as heavy-handed and sentimental schlepp, like a Spielberg at his worst, perhaps.
