I am not analyzing the realism of the physics, I'm not qualified for that. Physicists say it's realistic enough and I believe them.

But realism in the science aspects of a movie shouldn't be an excuse for a lack of a coherent story or bad character development.

I respect your take and what that movie means to you, but don't think that I didn't want to immerse myself in it or anything like that. I was highly anticipating this movie for years. It just didn't do it for me.
