Hmm... to me, I didn't think it was dull. It's been about a yr since I've seen it, but I remember there was always something mildly entertaining going on. I thought it was mildly entertaining. Not exciting, nor notable in anyway.
I've seen 28 Days, and thought it was better than Z. Having seen most of the big 'zombie' films, I thought 28 Days was decent. Did you think 28 Weeks was better or worse than 28 Days?

Thing is, Interstellar offers a good story with great cast & visuals, no doubt but only one of those stories that's just a good read, not a million dollar budget movie material, IMO. Though there's plenty of far more disappointing or worse films get release every year with more or less same million dollar budget but the reason I've just said that is I didn't expect only a good or decent sci-fi flick from Chris Nolan, specially after building such huge anticipation for its contents; I expected something spectacular or extraordinary that would blew my mind away! Surely Nolan brothers selected here very interesting & great contents (i.e. wormholes, black holes & gravitational waves) for their first "Sci-fi Epic" but my frustration is they could have & should have done a gripping sci-fi THRILLER with said contents than to go along with a safer route which is actually merely a sci-fi adventure-DRAMA and after watching this, to some extent it even feels like it'd better be a docu-drama instead. They had materials on their table with which if they could have dared more or played with those ideas more, we'd get something close to a true sci-fi masterpiece like Blade Runner, Alien, Star Wars or even 2001: A Space Odyssey!
Anyway, it's a good film & needless to say offers a better story & contents than Upside Down for sure but frustrated me somewhat like the same way as that film did with the promising content(s).
Maybe my expectation was too high but sorry Mr. Nolan, you disappointed me this time in your Interstellar voyage.

Looking forward to seeing this.
