I keep loving this move more at each iteration!
This movie is still incredible, the soundtrack and the story will always be so beautiful:sob::sob::sob:
You've done it Nolan. It's not perfect but it's basically a move made specifically for me in every way, with so many individual scenes, moments and ideas that make my heart whir. Space, guys! Space.
I truly enjoy Interstellar. I've watched it multiple times in theaters and more again afterwards. As a Nolan movie, it falls flat in some plot points like the Love concept and the extra-dimensional beings but what it lacks there it holds up in effects, storytelling, and emotion. When I watch this, there are several key moments that get me teary eyed. The movie continues to be an experience, that is a certainty with Nolan films - it's always an experience to be witnessing the craft on the screen. And the soundtrack keeps that memory alive. For that, I love this movie.
Rewatched "Interstellar" for the first time in 4K now and what can I say...It's my all-time favorite. What a brilliant movie Christopher Nolan made. The story is intriguing, the special effects are out of this world and the Soundtrack is one of the most beautiful scores I've ever heard. Love the cast too btw.
And I really recommend watching this film in 4K. The IMAX scenes are just mind blowing.
“Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” Christopher Nolan’s epic space odyssey Interstellar is a sweeping adventure that’s full of wonder. Set in an apocalyptic future where a blight is killing off plant life and transforming the Earth’s atmosphere, NASA launches a desperate mission to save humanity by exploring three potentially habitable planets that lie on the other side of a newly formed wormhole. The special effects are amazing, and Nolan presents an incredible vision of space travel. Additionally, the cast is especially good, featuring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, and Mackenzie Foy. However, the storytelling is a little muddled at times and takes on more than it can effectively cover; resulting in some plot holes and contrivances. Yet the ambitiousness of Interstellar is impressive and delivers a spectacular journey through space and time.
I love Nolan, and this is a fact. I find it a brilliant director, perhaps controversial, but brilliant. Interstellar is a real journey in the universe. Exceptional actors, dubbing unusually perfectly timed, physical theories reproduced in detail (who will see the film will understand) and an almost obsessive attention to detail, combined with an exceptional direction that Nolan has accustomed us, already make Interstellar the movie of his year. To give that extra, though, and make Interstellar a masterpiece that will remain in history, is the soundtrack of the master Hans Zimmer which is the best part of the film, not to demerits of the other sectors, but it is really something exceptional, capable to accompany the most of every scene and then suddenly interrupted by the deafening silence of space.
A cinematic masterpiece and benchmark for movies to come.
In "Interstellar", a film written and directed by Christopher Nolan,
climate change has decimated most of the world's food supplies.
Towns are regularly ravaged by fierce sand storms, and
everything is covered with thick layers of dust.
A very select group of scientists set out to embark
on humanities most ambitious mission: travel through
a newly discovered wormhole into another galaxy.
They hope of collecting the necessary data to either move
many people onto a new experimental gravitation spaceship, or find a new Earth altogether.
I have now watched this movie twice at an IMAX.
After my first viewing, when the credits rolled,
I sat there perplexed and was unable to move. I was paralysed
by what I had seen. I looked around, I was not the only one.
Unquestionably, one of the greatest movies I had ever seen.
I was almost ashamed to admit it, because it felt like I had no
say in this decision whatsoever.
There are many moments when "Interstellar" transcends into
something so artistic, you are left speechless and are moved to tears.
The cinematography and directing is, even by Nolan's standards,
his best work so far. I think his talent is even too profound for
the Academy of Motion Pictures, hence why he has yet to receive an oscar
for directing. Personally, after watching "Interstellar", I consider
him to be the best director that is currently alive, only rivalled
by Kubrick and Hitchcock.
Hans Zimmer wrote the score and I really recommend to read how
he translated Nolan's fantastic ideas into music.
I get goosebumps just thinking about the high-speed docking scene,
and you will, too! The sound engineers did an amazing job contrasting
the cosmic silence with Zimmer's incredibly ethereal music.
During the rocket launch, the entire theatre shook and you were
really feeling the thrust.
If I was forced to describe the score, I would say it was
heavily influenced by Johann Strauß, Philip Glass and Bach.
Truly a masterpiece that deserves to be revisited many times and
among all the great soundtracks he has ever done, this is simply
on an entirely different level. His most intimate work.
The visual effects were breathtaking - quite literally.
The on-screen silence during certain parts of the movie
was only rivalled by the complete and utter silence
of my fellow IMAX watchers. Nobody said a word, nobody moved.
Just hundreds of mesmerized people staring at the screen,
or digging their fingers into their armrests during
some of the most tense moments I have ever seen.
"Interstellar" depicts astrophysical concepts that
have never been seen or discussed on-screen before.
"Awesome", in its most literal sense, really describes it.
When I set out to write this review, I really tried to
avoid superlatives, and give you a more nuanced opinion
of why I think this movie deserves to be ranked among
the best, but I now see how I have failed.
I recommend to watch "Interstellar" at an IMAX,
or the best movie theatre around you.
It's not something you should rent at a Red Box or watch on Netflix.
"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light." -Dylan Thomas
This movie is breathtaking. Visually stunning and emotional. The sound editing is insane and the score is fantastic. One of Nolan's best.
This movie should have won so many more Oscars. It still baffles me just how complete of a movie this is.
Still one of my favorite movies ever. Simply amazing.
The knowledge of how accurate the science is in this movie tells you how much care Christopher Nolan put into this movie. While the ending might not stick with everyone, Nolan's amazing use of the concept of time as a tool cannot be overlooked.
I thought this movie was absolutely awesome. Easily in my top ten favourite if all time.
A spectacular and awe-inspiring movie. Space is such an interesting tool to work with in cinema and Christopher Nolan did an excellent job using space to his advantage in this movie.
Though simply a stunning sci-fi adventure at face value, Interstellar's touching storyline—built around mind-bending paradoxes, and supported by a hair-raising soundtrack—is its real forté. A memorable and powerfully-emotional watch.
For such a long movie, I never get tired of watching it; and I am not someone who watches movies over and over again. I love Interstellar.
There are some parts of this movie that are incredibly stupid (i.e. "Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space.")
It doesn't matter, because 90% of this movie is head and shoulders above anything else I've ever seen. Absolutely awe-inspiring. Just hearing the score is enough to give me the chills. And no matter how many times I see it, I will always cry at the scene where Coop watches the messages from his children after 23 years have gone by. I'm getting emotional just writing this.
the best Sic-Fi movie I have ever watched also best movie of 2014.
So... we live in an age where Nolan now has THREE movies in the IMDB Top 20. Figures the word masterpiece is thrown around. I'm not exactly sure anymore what the requirement to achieve that is but I fail to see how Interstellar can be one by objective means anyways.
The movie to it's credit is ambitious and has some visually impressive scenes in there but the it isn't really that much about interstellar travels but is loaded with very simple 'mainstream' american themes which lead to the excessive runtime.
The problem the people on earth have to overcome and leads to everything happening is actually interesting but is handled very poorly, painting mankind as rather stupid in progress but whatever your excuse is for having to make plot happen... right?
I don't want to get spoiler-y so lets just say that after an hour it gets to magic land and is riddled with exposition, dumb scientists and predictable waste of screentime. The whole thing stands on such a weak foundation it is sad really. No matter the scale, I don't think I recently saw something as full of plotholes as this.
I'm not calling the movie terrible but it's a flawed mixture of things other movies did better.
One of my favorite movies of all time. I really enjoy topic of black holes and the dilataion of time.
Probably Nolan’s most technically impressive, and the performances are pretty great.
Terrific work by Hans Zimmer and Hoyte van Hoytema as well.
Some of the exposition is a bit poorly done (Cooper doesn’t know how a worm hole works when they’re already in space?), but the bigger problem is that it turns into a Spielberg film in the third act.
The movie suddenly stops being scientific and becomes a whimsical fantasy, which feels like a cheat. It really should’ve ended about 15 minutes earlier than it did.
It doesn’t ruin the film, but it’s a big stain on what could’ve been one of Nolan’s best.
8/10
There are a lot of great Movies made by mankind but this movie is probably the best I've ever seen to date. The pictures and the sound is just breathtaking. I 've seen this in cinemas when it came out and I wish I could unsee it and watch it again.
A Nolan masterpiece!! I love this film so much, holds a very special place in my heart.
i love you so much!
The first time I had seen Interstellar, I had so many "issues" to complain about. The flaws, illogical elements - too much of a burden for a rating higher than 7. Than I watched it a second time a year later, and a third time right now. The past frustrations don't matter that much anymore (while still valid) and there is just appreciation for a wonderful story about humans.
That is a super fabulous movie
Actually one of the Best movies I ever watched
Simplesmente perfeito.
Christopher Nolan's Interstellar may very well be one of the best movies that have come out in the year of 2014.
The film starts off by more or less depicting what the near future Earth looks like. Much like in the movie The Martian all the technology looks futuristic, but it always seems like it could already exist today, if only as a prototype. The directors manage quite well to bring across the massive problems and the looming threat of extinction the human race faces by simply showing us the daily life of ex-pilot, engineer and now farmer Cooper and the problems he faces. We see the distant crops burning away, giving us a sense of the increasing scarcity of food, as crop after crop is being destroyed by the blight and only corn can survive. We see the plates being turned down on the table, as the dust has become omnipresent. We see the shift of society, as the teachers of Cooper's misbehaving daughter try to convince him that the Apollo mission did in fact not happen and they make it quite plain that in this society no engineers, astronauts or scientists are needed, but farmers, and that is what he should teach his children to be. Not only does this set up the world quite perfectly, we also get characterizing moments. Cooper, as the film quite often states, is out of place in this world. He looks skywards, whilst the rest looks at the dust and earth below them. The shared moments with his children show his love and affection for both of them, he respects their interests and treads them accordingly. The seemingly paranormal sightings also characterize our second main character at an early stage, Murph. She quite literally follows his footsteps and adopts the scientific ways, she is curious, intelligent and more than anything stubborn. The family grows on you amazingly quickly and his farewell scenes are made all the more hurtful.
It is here that I would already like to mention Nolan's attention to detail and love of practical effects. He literally bought acres of corns to avoid CGI as much as possible for just a few scenes. Whenever CGI is used, and of course in a movie mainly taking place in space there has to be a lot of it, it could just as well be practical effects, by all you know, if only some of it wouldn't be possible. The visual effects are simply stunning and most importantly not noticeable.
As we are being shot into space with Cooper, we run into a few minor problems Interstellar has. After he stumbles onto the secret NASA facility, giving us another glimpse at the world building, that may not be complex but it certainly gives us the illusion of complexity, he gets to pilot a spacecraft in space without getting into shape or ready for space in any way. Having arrived on the space station, the movie struggles to find ways to explain the complex science behind what they are trying to do and so they resort to a scientist explaining the concept of wormholes (exactly the way the teacher did it to the kids in Stranger Things by poking a hole into a sheet of paper) to another scientist. The same happens again later in the movie when the same guy explains to Cooper that time is relative. Nevertheless, even if the exposition may at times be wonky, the actual use and depiction of science is spot-on and nothing like I've ever seen in another movie on such an...interstellar scale. The plot and premise of Interstellar is so unique and amazing precisely because it explores the unexplored aspects of physics, like the concept of wormholes and black holes, and just rolls with it. Every scene in space or another planet looks fantastic and the sheer size of everything, whether it's the massive tidal waves caused by the black hole, the vast ice desert or the black hole itself, really makes you feel helpless and small, whilst still being overtaken by its beauty.
Probably the most emotional scene of the entire two hours is established using the previously mentioned relativity of time. After spending unintended three hours on the black hole-orbiting planet, they return to their station, to their colleague, realizing that decades have past. We are now forced to watch Cooper sit there and have to undergo decades worth of emotions in a few minutes, as the computer displays all the messages his family had sent over the years. It was truly a test for the wonderful actor and if you haven't felt for the protagonist, who more or less carries the movie along with Murph, before you certainly have after this scene. The other side-characters do indeed feel a bit one-sided and unexplored, but that's okay, it's not their story and you always realize the stakes for every character, adding weight to every decision they make. The comic-relief, a robot names TARS with a humour setting of 75 - 100%, is surprisingly likeable and funny, adding the much needed light-hardheartedness.
Parts of the movies do eventually get a bit silly and some scenes feel out of place, like when Dr. Brand talks about love being the only thing that can travel through dimensions next to gravity and two scientists fist-fighting in another galaxy on another planet. The plot concerning Dr. Mann was fine and a murder attempt does actually fit, but the fist-fight was unnecessarily ridiculous.
Following this, however, we get to the most thrilling scene of the entire movie. The spacecraft trying to dock a space station, spinning out of control, by spinning with it. It's here that I would like to mention two things: the score and the lack of sound. You don't see many movies taking place in space that actually show the lack of sound in space and even fewer that use it as a way of instilling fear in us, fear of the vast emptiness and apathy of space. Then, the score. I know a few people that get annoyed by Hanz Zimmer's style of music but many more absolutely ravel in it, as do I. The soundtrack is most of the time idle and you can feel the stellar, spacey aspects of it but when needed it erupts into what you imagine a burst of creativity must sound like. On top of that he brilliants made most of the beats hit every single second, imitating a clock, since time is the main aspect of the movie. Sometimes, in fact, he even uses a clock for his music.
At last, the movie ends with Cooper meeting his dying daughter, creating an arguably even more emotional scene, before eventually ending the film on an optimistic note, leaving you with tons of emotions inside and probably only noticing now that you have to pee, because you had been glued to the screen for the entire time.
I finally got around to watching Interstellar after all this time last night and boy... I thought that the movie was just fantastic. I'm kind of baffled at why there is so much hate for the movie. There are maybe a couple of plot holes and inconsistencies here and there while some things go beyond the scope of "believable science" but damn if it isn't one hell of an enjoyable movie.
It's definitely on the long side but I was so engrossed throughout the entire movie that I just didn't care. Great performances by the McCounaghey and Anne Hathaway in this one along with a fantastic soundtrack. Don't listen to all the hate and watch it if you're up for one hell of an adventure (albeit a long one).
Oh, wow, this is difficult to rate. It's technically very good but I don't really like it. So I'll go with a 7/10.
The good stuff:
The bad stuff:
So in the end it was an interesting movie but I don't really feel good after watching it. The drama is kinda fine because it's basically there from the beginning to the end so I didn't start to really care about any of the characters anyway (which is normally a bad thing but in this case I prefer that). The thing that get's me though is that it shows how much we humans don't know and unfortunately that's very true (so my thoughts signifficantly amplify that). We could even be living in a simulation. We basically don't know what living/existance is. We can observe our environment and create models for how things work and use that to predict the future but we don't know how the universe was created, if there's only one, how long our universe will last, etc. And that makes me question the meaning of life. I like living but does it even matter in any way at the end? Will humanity have a lasting impact or will we just be some dumb virus in our galaxy that tried to spread but failed.
Quite scary to think about such stuff... So I'll better end this review now :)
The Earth is dying, and technology a luxury. People live as farmers for the most part to produce food for mankind.
In these times, the protagonist, a former NASA pilot, gets by accident into a progressive NASA program with the goal of finding a replacement planet for humankind.
Pretty slight spoilers (not much more than you likely know about the movie beforehand anyways):
A wormhole was discovered in the solar system, which alien forces have laid off and sending signals to the Earth. In the search of a new home for humanity, the team passes through and is going to investigate planets which scouts did discover before.
In-depth spoilers, better read only post-watching:
The first planet to find was pretty weird, I think. Because landing on there makes the time ratio 1:7, but this doesn't seem to count for the ship in the orbit of it? When you are so close to a nuclear star, it seems pretty unbelievable for me that that tiny distance difference would bear such huge consequences. Additionally, it looks like for each hour on the planet not only 7 years pass on Earth, but also for the ship in the orbit - Which doesn't make sense, especially considering it is near a nuclear star. This is more of a scientific note, it does not make watching the movie worse in any term.
I also failed to understand how the robot did fall through to Earth and how that did happen as well as him being "picked up by scouts", where even?
The ending is pretty creative, in any case, independent on how you think about it personally.
I think one among the best movies I have ever watched.
Rating: 10/10
While it isn't a perfect film and the ending could have been improved, Interstellar nevertheless is an ambitious, character driven, epic space drama that offers fantastic visuals and terrific performances and is a true heir to 2001 a space odyssey.
I've seen this movie a couple of times before. Watched it on a tiny laptop screen both times and it broke me.
Tonight, I've finally had the privilege to see it in theaters. I HAVE NEVER been moved so much by a movie or music. Chills all the way. Interstellar was in my top 3 movies of all time. Tonight it rocketed to first place and I can hardly imagine a movie ever taking that spot. Thank you Mr. Nolan. Thank you Mr. Zimmer. The combination of your work created an absolute masterpiece.
Don't deserve all the 10 he got !
It's good, but not a "masterpiece" or else.
Too long ! 45 minutes too long to begin with.
"Interstellar," a cosmic voyage that equally fascinates and frustrates, embodies the ambitious storytelling of Christopher Nolan, blending stunning visuals with, at times, cumbersome exposition (to be honest I never got what the constant aspect ratio change is trying to achieve). The film commences in a future Earth, teetering on the brink of extinction, where we're introduced to Cooper, a multifaceted character portrayed as an engineer, farmer, and reluctant astronaut whose depth occasionally gets muddled by the film's reliance on expositional dialogue. As Cooper journeys through wormholes and beyond, the narrative ambitiously tackles themes of love, time, and survival in the vast emptiness of space.
Characterization varies, with some members of the space expedition feeling underdeveloped, reducing the impact of pivotal moments and emotional stakes. Nolan's choice to explore complex scientific concepts, like relativity and black holes, often feels weighed down by the necessity of explanatory dialogue. Yet, these moments are counterbalanced by breathtaking visuals and a score by Hans Zimmer that elevates the cinematic experience, making space feel simultaneously majestic and menacing.
Despite its narrative and auditory missteps, including a sometimes overly idealistic script and sound mixing that can obscure dialogue, "Interstellar" remains a testament to Nolan's directorial prowess and his ability to convey the enormity of space. The emotional journey of Cooper and his daughter Murph played with earnestness, grounds the film's grandiose ambitions. Scenes of genuine heartbreak, like Cooper grappling with the relativity of time as he watches years of messages from his children, showcase the film's capacity to resonate on a deeply human level.
"Interstellar" may stumble in its execution of certain themes, particularly the portrayal of love as a force comparable to gravity, and encounters with scientific implausibilities that may distract the discerning viewer. Yet, its visual spectacle, coupled with a narrative boldness to explore the unknown, cements it as a noteworthy, if not universally acclaimed, entry in Nolan's filmography. It's a movie that, despite its flaws, invites viewers into a conversation about our place in the universe and the lengths to which humanity will go to survive, making it a polarizing yet unmissable cinematic experience.
First time rewatching since initial viewing upon release. Was able to see a 4k imax Dolby vision copy on a 65" OLED.
Spectacular doesn't do it justice. I love the mingling of science fiction with fantasy and good ol' family drama. There are things many choose to nitpick ad nauseum , but for me it checked so many boxes. The only difficulty I had was with the level of strobe like effects in the final third. Im particularly sensitive to those unfortunately. What a masterclass of cinema. 9.4.
inevitably one of the best movies that were ever made, and one of my all time favorites, Christopher Nolan i f*cking ADORE you for gifting us this movie, and don't even get me started with the legend Hans Zimmer.
the use of '''Time,,, in this film is one of the concepts that make me fall in Love with this movie, also the excruciating and incomprehensible pain it can have on a person was so well portrayed throughout the whole two hours and forty minutes, yet, it's also such a beautiful concept
just like the portrayal of love
the visual effects were amazing
the music was phenomenal
the fore shadowing, out of this world
Matthew's performance, incredible
i loved it all the more on a second rewatch, after so many years, and i cried soooo much, can't wait to rewatch it again after a few years
I saw this film at the cinema on release - stuck in traffic that was worsening, I took the sideroads and went the cinema to pass the time more usefully... I liked it then, didn't love it.
I still don't love it but I've watched it again since then. Once more when it came out on Bluray and just now, some 6 years after release.
The bits that annoyed me then only grate on me now.
They are:
- the dialogue volume is atrocious. McConaughey mumbles and growls for the whole film but it's across the board. Just raise the damn volume of the dialogue...
- The soundtrack isn't to my taste. Too emotionless a pallette for my tastes.
- though it seems like you need a degree in physics to watch this, you don't. The scriptwriters are just using the concept of more physically-manipulable dimensions to write their way out of a hole.
Personal irritations:
- The meet-up with the daughter irritates me. He's been away for 90 years or so, I believe. And they spend less than an hour meeting before he takes off again...
- Anne Hathaway. I get a feeling of insincerity off her and don't rate her as an actor. When you see her being interviewed, you see how faux she is in normal life and it is exactly visible on screen. However, what she takes from the screen, Jessica Chastain returns with interest! She does fantastically with a role that she shares with other actors.
I think it's an excellent movie. It just isn't perfect. But it is far better than say Gravity and less enjoyable as a film as The Martian. It is a more serious affair yet it relies on cheap thrills so it cannot really consider itself a superior effort.
8.25/10
I..... MIND BLOWING!!!!!!!!!!! My head hurts, I can't overcome this
I am watching this movie second time but nothing has changed. In fact, musics and fellings are combining and hitting you harder.
Nolan Fanboys: if you don't like the movie, you're just to dumb for it.
I think, if a movie spend most of the time with boring explanations and most of the people don't get the ending, maybe it is something wrong with the movie, not the people. And yeah, there are some wrong things in this movie. It is way too long, the scenes on earth don't have the emotional impact that Nolan wants (maybe because he never learned how to write good female protagonists). The space scenes are wonderful and Hans Zimmer is still the GOAT of movie scores, but again to many explanations, to many scenes that are in the movie because because they are beautiful and a Matt Damon character that doesn't fit in the rest of the movie. The acting of nearly all actors is definitely on point.
Nolan Fanboys will keep ignoring the flaws of the movie and hate on everyone who doesn't like it, and Nolan haters will just pointing out the flaws. I think the right rating of the movie is somewhere in the middle.
I can't stand Anne Hathaway in this movie.
One of the best movies I've ever watched. It captured my attention throughout and it's been a long time since I last cried as much as I did watching this. 10/10
I am so conflicted about this film. Beautiful moments interspersed with bad writing. Argh.
I can see the movie and see it again and again... Just amazing story and producers!
Love this movie....2 second time
The plot is intense...I'm still thinking about it one night after watching the movie. All the stars for the photography and scenography. It was amazing!
This film was visually stunning. Nolan's ability to capture feelings of expanse and loneliness in interstellar travel was perfection. The plot felt messy toward the end, and the conclusion was underwhelming. In my opinion, the fact that Cooper escaped the tesseract lessened the emotional impact. Nevertheless, this movie was thought-provoking and emotionally driven. The soundtrack is a masterpiece.
Chef-d'œuvre absolu du cinéma. My favorite movie of all time, went to see it three times in cinemas. Nothing more to say.
One of the best of all time
Yes this film is a cinematic achievement in every sense of the word - incredible screenplay, incredible cgi, cinematography, editing, directing and soundtrack. As mind-blowing and testing as the story manages to be, in the end what stays is the love between a father and a daughter. Science-fiction isn’t my thing so this could never really become a personal favourite, but I am happy to objectively praise its prowesses.
Great story with a great soundtrack!
My first time watching it since seeing it at the cinema when it was first released. Some parts hit softer the second time round but for the most part it stands up well. An incredibly well crafted film: the cinematography, the acting, the music. All wonderful.
As every Christopher Nolan's film - piece of shit. Boring. I barely could watch on the McConaughey face, he is so ugly.
This film is fantastic and good
Excellent up until the point where he gets into the black hole, then every element of the film collectively jumps the shark.
I think it is very convincing up until the black hole "inside the event horizon" part.
Many people in cinema have been nice, somewhat obscure, but Nolan it is much Nolan
There is so much to like here and with Nolan's previous track record, the incredibly high expectations for this film would have been hard to meet. The visuals are outstanding and this deserves to be seen on the biggest screen possible. Like its obvious influence, 2001, Nolan has captured the vastness and beauty of space as well as the danger and isolation of working in this environment. The sequences on each of the planets are equally awe inspiring, building to a tense resolution each time. The final act is sure to divide opinion, though Nolan does drop hints in the first part of the film and it does fit within the core humanist themes that the film is driven by. McConnaughey and Hathaway are great as the two central astronauts in the film. Having said that, it is not perfect. Perhaps, in a sense, Nolan has overreached. Not since Spielberg's A.I, has there been a film with an identity crisis quite like this - is it an emotional involving character-driven story that hinges on the father/daughter relationship ? Or is it the more plot-driven story that captures the fascination of space exploration and the human drive for scientific discovery and evolution ? It seems that Nolan wants to have both and whilst there are moments and sequences within the film that fulfil this grand ambition, equally the film as a whole neither fully satisfies either element. But with sequels and franchises dominating the film year, here we have a film with ideas and themes that are sure to provoke some discussion and for that it deserves a lot of credit.
If rating on just pure ambition and the attempt to instill wonder, this would undoubtedly be rated higher, but there is enough issues there to bring down the movie. Outside the problems I had with the science (bootstrap paradox, missing interactions, choices in the planets) the overall themes felt a bit ham fisted and forced at times. Sentimentality and love don't have to be corny, but they came close several times here. I would have liked a bit more exploration and some more inspired shots in the movie as a whole. Nothing felt as cool and fresh as the rotating hallway in Inception. There were serious problems with the sound mixing, making dialogue unintelligible and the usual Nolan exposition, though I mostly give that a pass because of the concepts that were being employed in the movie. Despite the complaints, there were moments of true awe in this movie, and that is not easy to accomplish these days. It pushes a lot of boundaries and ideas, and that's worth a lot, even if it doesn't succeed at everything it set out to do.
It's the best movie of this year. 3 hours no any sounds in the cinema, only film and nothing else.
Even better the second time!!
This one just jumped to number one in my all-time favorite movie list. Beautiful in every way.
An incredible experience! Not the best movie, but very good visuals and a surprising story more based on the human condition than the space stuff. I thought a lot about 2001: A Space Odyssey during this movie, which IMO wasn't the best, but a very good cinematic experiment.
Viene a estar a medio camino entre Contact, 2001 y el 3º arco argumental de "The Authority" con Jenny Sparks, todo ello con la grandilocuencia bien entendida habitual de Nolan, entre la aventura pura y el tono levemente aleccionador. No llega a ser la película definitiva sobre la búsqueda de otros mundos que muchos (yo) esperábamos por alguna concesión sentimental (para mi gusto) pero casi. Y como siempre, un entretenimiento de primera. Y a Hans Zimmer deberían mandarle YA el Oscar a la mejor banda sonora.
I would say that this is a good movie but not great. I love these kinds of movies. I loved Contact (Robert Zemeckis), felt transported. Again felt transported by Sunshine (Danny Boyle), but did not feel transported by this movie. I was aware at all time I’m watching a movie. I’m not sure exactly why but probably part to some bad acting, bad storytelling and some very bad choices.
Spoilers Stop Reading
Casting Matt Damon was probably too much. I also didn’t like the robot. It didn’t feel realistic at all. Nolan trying to have something different went too far. No way I can accept that a big ridiculous wall is a reasonable shape for an intelligent walking robot. It screams look how clever we are.
Also it was a bad idea to cast Ellen Burstyn as old Murph. That’s the most important emotional moment of the movie and immediately you feel it’s someone else, it’s not Murph. I think even if they had used Jessica Chastain in a bad old makeup, it would have been better.This movie is good but it is not great.
Everyone keeps suggesting there is a paradox concerning the 5D future humans and their ability to save humanity in the past. It's really not a paradox at all. Everyone assumes humanity survived to ascend to the 5th dimension but how could humanity exist in the future if not for the actions of Cooper.. who was guided by future humans (begin endless loop).
Did anyone ever consider the other important character in the movie? Amelia Brand carried on with the rest of her mission (thanks to Cooper). I postulate that Brand used the human seeds as intended and set up a colony. A colony that would thrive and eventually evolve beyond human. Thus Earth is of little importance, and may have indeed died. These colonists, and the generations that followed, would have been told the story of a great man (Cooper) who saved them from extinction. With the ability to manipulate space-time, they would pay homage to their hero "God" by helping him in the past so he may fulfill the mission most important to him, to once again see his daughter. Plan B worked beautifully. But the 5d humans, having the power to bend space-time, decided there's no reason why Plan A had to fail.
That this movie, at the time of writing this, holds an 8.8 rating at IMDb is simply beyond my understanding. Needless to say I did not really like this movie. The story is not very good, the science is ludicrous and the visuals not all that impressive. Maybe the latter would be better in a big theater (I watched this on my home cinema system which has a relatively large screen by European standards) but I am not really sure about that either.
Be warned that the rest of this review might contain a spoiler or two.
The movie starts of with the usual “I told you so” wet dream of the green fanatics on a dying Earth so it is off to a depressing start right away. That is an overused concept today as far as I am concerned. Then they pour it on with a school official claiming that he Apollo missions and moon landings never happened. What the f…? If they wanted to depress the audience right from the start they succeeded, at least with this audience.
The story proceeds with our heroes finding these gravity waves in the sand and by a huge stretch of imagination decrypts them to mean coordinates which leads them to the secret NASA base. Once there Cooper is told that he is their best choice of pilot for a “save the human race” mission through a wormhole. Yeah, right! This guy was former NASA. His whereabouts could hardly been unknown to them. If he was their best choice why would they entrust a mission to save the human race to someone else until he stumbled onto their door? Typical Hollywood nonsense!
The movie is full of this kind of rubbish. Romilly wastes 23 years of his life doing pretty much nothing except deciding not to go into the sleep capsule. The supposedly highly trained and vetted professor that they do find turns out to be a psychopath as well as and idiot almost blowing up the ship when trying to proceed with a docking that all the systems tells him have not succeeded. Then they proceed to dock with the main ship and stop its spin as well as bring it out of orbit around a planet with the shuttles engines. That is one hell of a powerful shuttle not to mention the strength of the docking mechanism! This just goes on. When someone is not doing something illogical or stupid (or both) they sit around talking, philosophizing and dragging the movie forward at snails pace. 169 minutes is way too much for this movie.
The movie ends up in one big time travel mess (okay they do not travel in time, just sends messages through time but still…) during a bunch of psychedelic scenes while traveling through the back hole. Science? Not so much. And what about this totally ludicrous massively illogical and inefficient robot design?
The one good thing I can say about this movie is that the performance of most of the actors, especially Matthew McConaughey, are quite good. For the rest, not my cup of tea.
This is one of my all time favorite movies and I recently watched it again.
While reading through some of the comments here and on IMDb I can only assume some people are on a personal vendetta or something. The negative comment I read most is: "This movie is scientifically inaccurate".
My answer to those: Go watch a documentary then!
This is clearly a Science-Fiction movie so I don't get why you even would concider comparing it to real science. No one did something like that with Star Wars. So why all this stupid nonsense criticism. If you don't like the movie - fine! You don't have to like it just because the majority does. But not likeing it because it's scientifically inacurate or a C. Nolan movie is just dumb. You are just robbing yourself of 3 hours of staggering CGI worlds, a good plot, one of the best OSTs there is and sublime acting.
This movie is just giving you the illusion that it wants to be accurate, obviously it isn't. That's the beauty of this art. Just take it for what it is!
This movie is OK at best. It's one of Nolan's better ones at least. But, it has some serious issues. See Krauss talk about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pG89gREWyI&t=1m12s
It's too long - he's right. The oxygen blight is completely scientifically silly. The entire basis of the plot (that Earth will run out of oxygen in tens of years) is unbelievable. This put me off from the start. There's some "formula" that Michael Caine worked on and half-solved, but it took data from the event horizon of a black hole (which also makes no sense scientifically) to solve it. Sorry, if you approach a black hole, you don't end up behind a bookshelf in your old house in the past - I have no idea how they can claim this is a movie about science. It is FULL of religious symbolism, though, so if you're into that, you'll be right at home. Apparently humans evolve out of the 3rd dimension too ... sure. There's one thing that was definitely right - outer space is quiet - FINALLY.
The cinematography is pretty good, and I liked how the dude went crazy on the barren planet, but this film would have been a lot better without the sappy happy ending. I mean, really - transporting all the way back from inside a black hole? Armageddon had a much more realistic ending than that, and it was SO STUPID! It would be great if someone fan-edited this into something scientifically accurate (dub over the lines about what's wrong with Earth replacing it with a feasible problem, have him crushed to death in the black hole, show Brand on the planet at the end all alone, FIN). I don't know how people can give this a higher rating than a 7/10. I wouldn't consider it to be a classic at all. It's at best a see-once blockbuster, just like Armageddon was.
I spend 3 hours of my life crying a lot
The basic idea behind this film is quite good, it's just that the script was obviously written by a typical hollywood idiot. A former Nasa pilot that is 'so called' perfect to lead a mission into deep space after he stumbles in the door? Or the 'so called' genius who spends 23 years doing nothing?
I wouldn't even mind if they remade this film completely, left the script and acting exactly the same, but can they please get some actors in that can actually speak?! OPEN YOUR MOUTHS AND ARTICULATE!!! I had to turn the English subtitles on just to understand what everyone was saying!
Yes good visuals and the sound effects were quite good, but if I can't hear the dialogue, what's the bloody point?!
The best film I have ever seen. It is as much a majestic piece of art as an open door to the questions of science. It will break your heart and the next second it will take you to the most beautiful places, to the limits of reality and imagination; the place they meet to become science, and maybe, the future. A must watch.
Mankind was born on Earth. It was never meant to die here.
I had a privilege to experience in the theater in a freakin BIG SCREEN. I wasn't a movie buff nor I used to go to the movies when this was released. But we had a screening at our place, and I freakin loved it.
It's a bold, beautiful cosmic adventure story with a touch of the surreal and the dreamlike.
It’s damn near three hours long. There’s that. Also, Interstellar is a space odyssey with no UFOs, no blue-skinned creatures from another planet, no alien bursting from the chest of star Matthew McConaughey.
Just as his Batman trilogy was far more philosophical and knottily plotted than the average superhero movie, Interstellar is sufficiently grand and challenging to bear comparison with those two touchstones of mind-bending epic sci-fi: Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey and Tarkovsky’s Solaris.
Hans Zimmer’s music makes the film seem even more colossal than it would otherwise: Zimmer invokes the original meaning of ‘pulls out all the stops’, rattling our teeth with reverberating pipe-organ chords. And the acting is as full-blooded as anything you’d find in an earthbound drama.
Next comes the wow factor that makes Interstellar nirvana for movie lovers. A high-tension docking maneuver. A surprise visitor. A battle on the frozen tundra. A tidal wave the size of a mountain.
Newton's third law – the only way humans have ever figured out of getting somewhere is to leave something behind.
This is one of our favourite movies - a stunning way to spend a couple of hours. The scale of the vision here is breath-taking and you feel as if you've been all over the universe by the end. The visuals and music are spot on. But for us this films best moments are the most human moments, around love, duty, regret and redemption. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend
A beautiful, ambitious riddle that tackles the weighty topics of time displacement, space exploration, fatherhood and the end of life on Earth. Not necessarily in that order. Like Christopher Nolan's preceding mind-stompers, Inception and The Prestige, it's a crafty, sprawling creation that feeds and grows based on sheer conceptual might. I found it less accessible and rewarding than those two, however, overreaching in the third act to reel us back in after a few digressions.
Most of the climax feels like an ill fit, too, discarding two hours' worth of rigorous scientific detail in exchange for a trippy, convoluted plot device and a fairytale ending. In a lot of ways, it's like a mainstream adaptation of the finale seen in 2001: A Space Odyssey, a clear inspiration, in that it's bright, blurry, colorful and confusing. Only this time, the static leads to a cookie cutter epilogue, not a blank canvas.
Such complaints notwithstanding, I greatly enjoyed most of the ride to reach that point, even if it has a tendency to belabor a point. Nolan's vision of a near-death civilization on our home soil is vibrant and real. His emphasis on the pain of separation and the dizzying potential of galactic time-shifts are powerful and moving. It's a real visual stunner, too, making hay with staggering CG representations of theoretical deep-space star configurations that left me slack-jawed more than once.
As a space nerd, that was very cool to breathe in, and seeing practical demonstrations of so many abstract concepts is wonderful. It's excellent at many things, frankly, but perhaps a bit too overzealous for its own good.
as another Nolan's movie this movie is great too , his prediction about Black hole now became reality
This is my favourite movie. It has everything. Survival, sci-fi, action, horror, drama. Movie can be about anything you want. If you want it to be about space explorations it will be, if you want it to be about romance between two lost souls it will be. All in all it has true argents that helped me get into science world...
BEST MOVIE EVER
I'm not a fan of Space Movies. And this film does not make it better. Towards the end of the film is too crazy. The special effects are really great, but that's about it.
A typical Nolan movie where you scratch your head going.. WTF did I just watch!!!
darn, I just want TARS to have humor settings in 100%; loving that stupid robot!
If I could give it a 100 stars, I would.
Brilliant! How an almost 3 hour movie kept me locked in and engaged for the entire runtime, but this accomplished it. Matthew McConaughey was so freaking good in this, one of his best performances of all time. Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain were incredible. Really everything about this movie is fantastic, the only bad thing about it is I wish I would have watched it sooner.
Rating: 100%
Verdict: Masterpiece
What a complete borefest this was. Worst film I’ve seen in a long time. Totally over-rated. Confusing storyline and no idea of what’s happening in space or what they’re trying to achieve, or even if successful. Did not care what happened to any of the characters. This is only for science fiction fans, as I only watched it thinking it had to be good cause of the high rating, but I was cheated. I give this 1/10.
The idea of space travel is frightening and daunting. I personally would never be able to do the things that the characters in this film do. Imagine the claustrophobia within a space ship knowing that the expanse of Space is right outside the porthole. Regardless of whether you believe in God or any form of an afterlife, one of my sincerest hopes is to somehow witness the wonders of the Universe firsthand. "Interstellar" offers a glimpse into that possibility but is grounded in the limitations of Man's science and technology. Even though this film trumpets the need to explore the galaxy, it tethers itself by choosing to hammer home the message that the force of Love is greater than that of Gravity.
I am a parent that has watched one of my children grow into adulthood while the other is still a teen. It was very heartwarming but also sad to hear Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) talk to his daughter Murphy about how, the moment you have kids, you become nothing but a memory to them. A ghost. It turns out that this plays an important role in saving the world, but it emotionally pulls on you. It created tears that felt a bit manipulated. Most moviegoers put a lot of value in how a film affects them emotionally and "Interstellar" provides this in abundance. It wasn't to the abhorrent levels of, say, the final moments of "Toy Story 3", but it really killed what I ultimately hoped would be a greater exploration of the unknown. Cooper, the great explorer, is as much of a sentimental fool as I am. This is the biggest miss of "Interstellar". If I had wanted something this overwhelmingly emotional, I could have watched "Beaches" or something. Did people really see "Interstellar" to get a weepy drama?
My opening thoughts read as though I disliked this film. Fact is, I mostly enjoyed it. I was amazed by its use of sound more than the visuals, which I thought were purposely dulled. The color palette for space was nearly black and white but I tend to believe that space isn't "Star Wars" shiny, anyway. The planet-scapes were massive but a little disappointing. The wave world seemed to only exist within the context of the film to reinforce the plot's insistence on impacting the characters with the passing of time. The success of this is illustrated by the effect of time on Romilly back on the docking station. While Cooper and crew are only on the surface of the wave world for a few hours, they return to Endurance to find he has aged over 23 years! This moment hit me more than all others. Imagine being totally isolated for so many years. Romilly even chose to forgo cryo-sleep for the most part.
The TARS robot is potentially this generation's R2D2 and C3PO wrapped into one. At first it seemed like a clumsy square box, but it certainly was no such thing. It was the greatest creation the film offered. The teamwork of TARS and Cooper docking their ship had me leaning in my seat trying to help them lock on to the Endurance. Then, the two of them team up to battle the ominous black hole. And considering that moment, the sequence made astounding use of sound. I've read and tried to comprehend theories of what happens when you enter a black hole, but I've never considered it to be noisy. I thought there was no sound in space, but the on-screen action made me not care about such things. Since so much of time and space is theoretical, you can roll with Nolan's interpretations here.
The second act and its inclusion of Dr. Mann doesn't seem needed except to provide a couple of action sequences.
The final 20 minutes were pretty muddled and hurried. There are too many twists to comprehend and let sink in before the next one pops. A little less time crying and a little more time plotting would have been appreciated.
The dimensions of space and time as we understand them must be expanded here to allow additional theorizing, which was difficult for me even having the most rudimentary understanding of "how things work" (turns out, Math is hard).
So the bottom line is that "Interstellar" mostly worked for me. Since Christopher Nolan is held as one of the current great directors, I feel forced to compare his works against each other. This film was not nearly as successful to me as my favorite Nolan-work, "The Dark Knight", or even its prequel and sequel. It doesn't rank with "The Prestige", either. And honestly, I'd have to watch "Momento" another ten times to know what I think of that mind-bender. This does easily bypass the make-crap-up-as-you-go delivery of "Inception", though.
It is good to see someone being allowed to make big-budget films like this. While I have been complimentary and critical, I certainly lack the ability to do anything approaching this accomplishment. One of the most encouraging things about Nolan is that he's making movies that require people to pay attention in a culture that's losing the ability to concentrate and focus. Odds are that mankind's future is more "Idiocracy" than "Interstellar", but there may still be some hope for the latter.
"Do not go gentle into that good night; Old age should burn and rave at close of day. Rage, rage against the dying of the light".
The story is about a team of explorers undertakes the most important mission in human history; traveling beyond this galaxy to discover whether mankind has a future among the stars.
Christopher Nolan once said that 2001: A Space Odyssey was his all time favorite film and how he wanted to do a small tribute to he's next film. And then comes a movie called "Interstellar" that will put a smile on Kubrick face if he was alive today, because Interstellar is one of the best movie of 2014 and the best movie experience I've had at the cinema.
I saw this movie in IMAX and all through out this film I felt like I was in space floating around with Mconaughey and Anne Hathaway. I had that feeling that I was going deep into space just like are main character's, going deep into space just like the viewing auditions and me.
The visual effect's in this movie are some of the most stunning, beautiful and Jaw dropping effect's I've seen since 2001: A Space Odyssey. The performances were brilliant, The cinematography was breathtaking and hard to look away. The directing by Christopher Nolan and let me get this out there, this man is a true director; he knows cinema and knows how to interested people into seeing he's films and I'm still shocked that he hasn't won an Oscar yet.
Now most people or critics have said that last third of this movie ruined the movie for them, but I actually like the ending to the movie. It's new for Nolan because he always ends on a deep and cold note, but this movie didn't and I didn't mind it.
My only nick pick with the movie is some of the character's in this movie wasn't all that interesting. Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain are the only character's that to me were interesting and I cared for them, but the rest of the character's I didn't really care for.
Overall Interstellar is a mind-blowing movie with fantastic visual's, interesting story line and the movie will keep you interested till the end.
I fell into my own trap with this one. I always say don´t led a trailer fool you, don´t build up expactations ´cause in the end you might be dissapointed. In a way that´s what happened with Interstellar. It was absolutely not what I thought it to be which in the end left me kind of confused and wondering what to make of it.
I see a lot of resemblence to "2001" in the whole make up of the movie but like "2001" I´m not blown away. Interstellar is a good movie with a good and interesting storyline that has it´s flaws if you look at it from certain angles. That´s the movies, Personally, I think the end was to much Hollywood in it´s conclusion. I think Nolan once said he placed emotion above science for the end and that´s my biggest problem - the typical happy-end. It´s especially tragic since so much effort went into making this scientifically sound. Having Kip Thorne as a consultant is a big asset and it showed in the movie until that point. Than Hollywood won over Science.
The movie could have been 20-30 min shorter which might have helped the pace. The visuals are really good, it all felt believable (that is beside the fact that the whole idea itself provides that you buy into it).
It was not a complete bust or waste of time - but I don´t think this is a movie I will watch repeatedly.
So I just saw Interstellar and I have mixed feelings about it. If the only factor in this review was what I saw visually, then I would give this a 10/10. With Christopher Nolan he has such healthy blend of practical and computer generated effects that it's often hard to tell which is which. Part of what I love about him is that whenever he has the opportunity to use a practical effect over a computer generated one he'll take it. And when he executes a practical effect he does not skimp out.There's a scene in which the truck goes off the dirt path and runs through a cornfield. If the same script was handed to a different director it's difficult to imagine that it would have been done with as much effort. With Christopher Nolan you could see the path being created by the vehicle in many overhead shots. And because it's a practical effect you have a limited amount of opportunities to get the shot just right. Many directors would show the truck going in to the cornfield but then limit the shot to only being within the vehicle from that point on. I'm happy to say that Christopher Nolan puts effort into the shots that he's filming instead of taking the easy route.
I really loved the movie visually and I thought the concept was pretty cool, but, alas, there are other aspects that make up a movie for me and some of these aspects were not done as well. Most of the performances were pretty great, but unfortunately the child actor playing Murph had a few slip-ups. Yes, she was able to cry from her tear ducts, but her performance was not really convincing. During what should be crucial and emotional scenes, her emphasis and enunciation was so off that I wasn't really able to get into them. Matthew McConaughey's performance held up nicely, so those scenes weren't completely lost, but it was distracting to have one performance stick out like that when everyone else was doing so well.
The score by Hans Zimmer was pretty great as usual. It's not his best score and it did get used pretty repetitively, but it was pretty great overall. I really liked the robots in the movie. Now, I'm aware that the design of these robots is so incredibly impractical that it would never happen in real life, but it was cool to watch them perform different tasks and use their bodies in sort of a Swiss army knife way. Their characters were very humourous and added a lot to my enjoyment of the film. And I'm a little forgiving when it comes to the impracticality of the design because it is clearly an homage to the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
The biggest problem I have with this movie has to do with the script. I can't think of a single other Christopher Nolan film that had so many moments that I would call 'sappy'. In many ways it seemed as though this story wasn't all that original. It was clearly inspired from films like "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "Sunshine",and I'm not sure I would call it better than either of those films. it is quite the pet peeve of mine when love is used to save the day.And in a Christopher Nolan movie I kind of expected better than that. So when Anne Hathaway's character started speaking in a way that seemed as though it was setting up some sort of future reincorporation saying:"Oh, love transcends all dimensions!" I was seriously hoping her character was just crazy, despite the tone of the movie explicitly implying that it would be reincorporated seriously later.Unfortunately, I was right and it was reincorporated later seriously.When you're going to reincorporate something it's best if you can't call out which scenes are going to be reincorporated before it happens.Like, seriously, as soon as Anne Hathaway started talking about it, all I could think was: "Oh God, please no." Yeah, love is totally not a chemical reaction in our bloodstream that exists to coerce reproduction. Love is magical and it transcends space and time! And the worst part about them not only including but reincorporating that line about love transcending dimensions,is that the movie could have been the exact same without that ever being mentioned and the logic would not have been changed at all. I don't see how the film's logic would have made any more or less sense if they didn't mention that. Like, when Matthew McConaughey was fucking around with the past,he was attached to a specific room and not a person.Like, if she didn't go back to that room as an adult then they would have been fucked. Like, if love for your children was the determining factor in this space equation, then shouldn't you have been attached to her and not a room? I got the impression that the outcome of that scene depended on specific coordinates, so I really don't see how love transcending dimensions had any effect on anything that happened.
Also, did no one find it weird how she immediately jumped to the conclusion "Oh, you're my ghost"? Like, is there any person, especially a scientist, that would ever come up with that conclusion? Like, of course nobody believed you!There were no logical steps that would be taken to come up with that conclusion. I just love it when characters pull things out of their asses that happened to be 100% fact and ultimately decide the outcome of the film.It never feels cheap at all no matter how many times it happens.
Anyway, I enjoyed the movie overall and I found it to be worth the price of admission. If you find yourself heavily weighting a film's visual aestethic into your overall rating, then go see this film and I'd imagine you'll really love it. The small issues I had with the plot aren't bound to affect everyone, so go see the film and judge it for yourself. Conceptually, I really loved what this movie did with time, and it made for some really emotional scenes. Even though I thought this movie was visually fantastic, overall it didn't wow me in the way that I hoped it would. That's pretty much all I've got to say about it for now.
"Interstellar" is Nolan's best work so far. Absolutely brilliant with a perfect balance between the narrative and the amazing technique and skills of one of the best directors of the modern cinema. An emotional/humanely journey escorted by a flawless photography and Zimmer's stunning score. Audacious, intelligent and masterful. "Love is the one thing that transcends time and space". Love is the ultimate dimension.
This movie, the story, the science and the insight will stay with me for the rest of my life! It was beautiful!
Amazing film of this year! Mixing of all sciences, astronomy, physics, chemistry...it's a movie to be watched more than once. Thank you Matthew and Anne for their roles in this film
With a score of 8.8/10 on iMDb I was somehow expecting more. yes good effects, yes good performances but glacial pace of progress allowed the fidgets to set in.
Overly long and for me too confusing. Best movie of 2014 for some, but not for me!
Visually is great, and the direction -as always- of Nolan is excellent but I have to say that the plot wasn't too good and that the Nolan brothers have a big imagination but maybe they went too far with this one... I liked that they show the things about Albert Einstein's theories of gravity fields and all that but I don't know. I although would have like it to see what happens with Brand and what she did, I'll have to assume that what they show at the end is her set in the colony and all that.
A brilliant '2001 space oddisee'-like real science fiction movie we haven't seen since the first Matrixx movie.
Great movie, awesome photography.
*TARS: best quotes!
In the end...speechless ***** TARS *****
The plot is very engaging, visually very well done, with interesting (albeit expensive) scientific solutions. The the script is however full of American sci-fi-style tricks to make everything working. It starts like a not so good Spielberg-like story, to improve in the second half.
Why? Just why? I'm sobbing so hard right now. This film is next level. I still can't believe how complex the story got, all while being heartbreakingly emotional. I still can't believe the score and cinematography and cgi and dialogue and plot and quality and everything. I just can't comprehend what happened and how I understood the jist of it. One of if not the best space movie of all time. The acting was phenomenal from everyone, although at times, the dialogue did feel slightly stiff. Hans Zimmer just has that special hand when it comes to matching sound to emotion. Christopher Nolans' perfect amount of sense with non-sense is so mesmering because you have no idea what's going on, but you do, you just nonstop think. Honestly, I'm still in shock, so I can't think of anything else to say. Just watch it.
