10 Almost Perfect Movies (With One Terrible Scene)

10. Brand's Love Speech - Interstellar

Interstellar is a mind-blowing sci-fi that blends all the best elements you can expect from the prolific Christopher Nolan. It's got stunning acting, great music, and visuals that make you wish you could travel to the past just to see it in IMAX again for the first time.

However, one thing that really stands out is the script's stunning ability to juggle profound dialogue with scientific jargon. It's water-tight, with the characters and emotion always feeling connected to the technical side of what's going on.

But then, Anne Hathaway delivers a ham-fisted monologue about how love is the only thing that can transcend time and space. Oh god, really?

This moment comes out of nowhere and hits you like a truck. The speech is delivered very well, and has nice writing, but it feels so out of place in this movie. It's unsubtle, hokey, and instantly makes Hathaway's character feel selfish as she seemingly puts the mission and fate of humanity in jeopardy so she can reunite with her partner.

There's certainly a place for love and emotion in this movie, as demonstrated perfectly by the relationship between McConaughey's Cooper and his daughter. But this speech is so on the nose and out of place that it feels disingenuous.
