Visually impressive but narratively flawed, "Interstellar" talks a lot about love and the awe of exploration without successfully dramatizing it. It even denies its hero, Cooper (the great Matthew McConaughey) — who has always wanted to go into space — a beat where he gets to bask in finally being able to get his wish. The movie can’t take the time to invest in characters when it should because it spends too much time pushing plot and headache-y exposition. (And no, you’re not wrong, the sound mix is hard to hear at times.)
