Interstellar (2014)

Excellent, a Must See

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

After I saw this fantastic but very unsettling film, I made my mind up finally to do anything I could think of to improve our gorgeous planet. I planted trees. It was just about all I could afford to do. I have thus far planted four, three Oaks and an Elm. THANK you Jonathan Nolan. (BTW: Love Person of Interest, especially Carter!)

I'm not a sci fi fan by any means, but this movie is so far from that format. Great movie , gives Shawshank a run for its money

After a while, Christopher Nolan decided that he wanted to make a space film, maybe something as big as 2001: A Space Odyssey. Everyone was hoping that Interstellar was going to be the next 2001: A Space Odyssey, and I'm sorry to break it to you guys, but it's not. Interstellar is not a perfect film. It has a good amount of flaws, but it is still an amazing film. Let's start with the amazing performances. Matthew Mcconaughey has one of his best performances in this movie, and the emotion he expressed in this film actually made me cry at times. The actors that play the character Murph (the actors played younger and older versions of this character) had riveting performances and she also made me cry at the emotional moments. The cgi in this film gives me chills thinking about it because all the space and planet sequences looked so real and beautiful, it's probably one of the best cgi used in any film EVER! The story is about finding a new habitable planet, but the real theme of this movie is love. Matthew Mcconaughey's character had the choice of either finding a new planet and leaving his life behind, or staying with his family and letting the earth turning inhabitable. He chose to find a new habitable planet, and he and his daughter being apart, and him eventually regretting his actions has such a great emotional impact. The emotional impact in this film is probably the best aspect of this film, and this is one of the best emotionally driven Christopher Nolan films. But sadly, there is a handful of flaws. Matthew Mcconaughey was accompanied by other astronauts on this mission, and I did not really care about them or their backstories at all. Anne Hathaway plays one of the accompanying astronauts, and the movie concentrates more than they should on her, and I wasn't invested in her subplot because I cared way more for Matthew Mcconaughey and his daughter. Matt Damon also played an astronaut that was stranded on a planet with malicious intentions, and I even though his appearance is out of nowhere, I really did not care about him at all and I feel like he didn't even need to be in this film. The pacing of the first half is also very slow and at times did drag, but the second half really did escalate and became more of what this movie was supposed to be. I like the second half way better than the first half. Even with its glaring flaws, I still think this is a great film. 4/5P.S: The score is also outstanding, one of Han Zimmer's best

The film is very interesting and intriguing with a beautiful ending. In addition, this film helps us understand how the general relativity proposed by Einstein works and how gravity has great influence on it. On the end, I believe that it is inevitable that humanity will one day have to leave its planet and colonize another, it may take millions of years but maybe it will happen tomorrow, there is no way to know, and so the alternative proposed by the film of using the Cylinder of O'Neill for such a feat is a good alternative in my view.
