15 Things Wrong With Interstellar

4. Bad Dialogue

It's a Christopher Nolan film so it's inevitably going to have some poor dialogue, though the lack of police officers throughout ensures viewers at least don't have to contend with the corny quips that plagued the Dark Knight saga. While most of Nolan's previous movies are jam-packed full of memorable, quotable dialogue, the same isn't really true here: perhaps it's the scientific rigour of the piece, but there just aren't a lot of great lines worth remembering. Then there are occasional instances of truly, laughably bad dialogue, the most blatant of which is an exchange between TARS and Cooper. TARS tells him of a particular action later in the movie, "It's not possible!", to which Cooper replies, "No, it's necessary." It's clearly meant to sound bada** but just turns out eye-rollingly cornball in the end, a dumb line that should have been cut completely.
