Looking forward to this - I think it looks pretty interesting.  Is Malkovich playing the Red Ghost?  Might be the only way such a cold-war villain might make sense is in a retro-future alternate universe.

Needs Mole Man glasses to be Mole Man. Franklin Richard's could be interesting but time travel ain't the best idea, I think.

Interstellar (2014).

I had a pretty similar experience with that 90s Jodie Foster film, Contact...but at least there, you've got Jodie Foster starring instead of Matthew McConaughey, which helped a lot.

Addendum: I was just reading some comments on Interstellar, and someone else compared it to Contact as well while mentioning "McConaughey is in the driver's seat 15 years later", which left me confused. Lo and behold, I'd completely blanked out that Matthew McConaughey also happened to be in Contact as well: he's the greasy gross love interest. Whoops. Honestly, it's just as well, since now that I remember he was in Contact, I mostly just recall being yucked out and annoyed by him.

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

I don't think Interstellar was terrible or anything, but I did personally find it kind of a snoozefest.  The best thing about Interstellar was desperate/crazed Matt Damon. Which was funny at the time because then The Martian came out and one was half-expecting Damon to be similar-roled, at first. Ha.  I know it's a different type of film but The Martian was 100x better, imo.

I didn't like Contact either, even on the big-screen. I even bought/tried reading the book wondering if it would make me appreciate it more. I didn't like the book much either. Thus I've come to the conclusion I don't enjoy overly metaphysical/transcendent sci-fi (or whatever the words for such might be) - 2001 and Arrival (2016) bored me to tears too.  Which is fine - just doesn't "speak" to me is all.

Interstellar was absolutely awesome (except this "god/love" thing in the end), you people are just stinkers.

Also, the TARS robot was amazing and I wish we could have that in realz.
