I did exactly the same thing and had a similar experience.

I think this is broadly applicable to most, probably all stylized movie user interfaces. Minority Report, Tron and Star Trek come to mind. They look really cool on the big screen and are inspiring but once you get home and try to actually use something like it in real life for something productive and it's an impediment more than an inspiration.

IMHO depending on the implementation LCARS (Star Trek - Federation) type interfaces can be pretty fun and enjoyable to use.

Pity that Paramount says not to do so and pulls DMCAs right and left.
