I don't get this need to try and paint a subjective experience into an objective fact.
"Interstellar" was loved by many yet me and my wife and like half the cinema (we were about 40 people in the theater at the time) couldn't stop cringing and gasping "oh come on!" for most of the movie. Same with "Blade Runner: 2049" btw. There were also a good number of people who left midway, too.
You like "Tron" -- no judgement from me. Good for you, glad you liked it, that's why we should watch movies: to get some positive emotion and/or education out of them, right? But it does come across as pretentious to try and make an art perception into an objective process. It really is not. It's a personal emotional experience.
To give you the reverse example, I absolutely loved the "Avatar" (with the blue aliens), yet I know of several internet communities that will never tire at spitting at it. I am fine with it and I never took offense or tried to paint the movie better when I was there.
I don't need validation from other people to like what I like.
You gave your review, and I gave mine. We just have different taste. I wasn't saying you have to like it, but you ended your comment with a statement: "[without nostalgia] it's pretty meh. Same with Blade Runner." that I disagree with. We're allowed to disagree; as you said, it's subjective.
Movies like Blade Runner sometimes don't appeal to mainstream audiences. Both BR movies have slow pacing, and often have long shots without dialog. Interstellar is similar in many ways.
Avatar is a good movie. Sure, the plot is simple, but it's a groundbreaking film nonetheless. And still quite enjoyable.
