I had "Interstellar" hopes for this movie

Warning: Spoilers
So i had high hopes for this movie but its clear in the first 5 minutes that I would not like it. In any other movie the opening would have been amazing. But here it just seems so trivial. The main character is a sociopath and feels almost no emotions...not even adrenaline..So this whole exciting sequence is mostly a boring backdrop for our boring character. The worst part? Is that the camera is so zoomed in on his face that we miss most of the good stuff...(the entire movie is like this)...OH no actually the worst part is when they took a 1.5 hour long movie and stretched it into a 2.5 hour movie using long slow shots that add nothing. Floating through a tunnel 10 feet long...takes 10 minutes...no joke..We had to fast forward.

The story makes no sense and the message is the exact opposite of Interstellar, which was exploration, space, the the infinite vastness of space...Here...everything takes place in our own solar system..even though we apparently have relativistic speeds....

Nothing is ever explained. How did a ship from 20 years ago have far far greater technology than the current tech? How could antimatter threaten the universe...How were they able to scan the entire universe and determine that there is no alien life anywhere? How HOW HOW WHY WHY WHY? we get nothing!
