I spend 3 hours of my life crying a lot
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
This movie is breathtaking. Visually stunning and emotional. The sound editing is insane and the score is fantastic. One of Nolan's best.
darn, I just want TARS to have humor settings in 100%; loving that stupid robot!
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.
“Newton’s third law. You gotta leave something behind.” -
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
Just watched this awesome movies!
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
the best Sic-Fi movie I have ever watched also best movie of 2014.
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.
This movie should have won so many more Oscars. It still baffles me just how complete of a movie this is.
One of the greatest films I have seen to date!
Still one of my favorite movies ever. Simply amazing.
Oh. My. God
This movie is at a whole new level, I regret having this on my watch later list for years
I have to watch it again...
Still at this day and age, BEST MOVIE EVER!
well...
Well...
WELL...
I don't know what to say. This movie truly left me speechless. I didn't think any film would have the ability to surprise me to this degree anymore, but this one did. This was, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best two hours and forty-two minutes of my life.
Christopher Nolan has already given us successful formulas that inspire the viewer to analyze his film down to the smallest detail, so I was going into this film with high expectations. It did not disappoint, quite the contrary.
Every performance was practiced and every detail was studied down to the tiniest detail. It is to be commended how good this cast was, and how good the cast was, during the film. Since "The Lincoln Lawyer" I have loved any performance by Matthew McConaughey, this one simply surpassed them all. I was able to overcome my phobia of Anne Hathaway's mouth (see my review of Roald Dahl's The Witches to understand) and added another film to the long list of excellent films Michael Caine has been in. The all-star cast did not disappoint.
Hans. Zimmer... One of the best soundtracks ever. That's all I have to say.
Everything about the plot was thought out in the smallest detail, from the evolution, to the twists and turns, to the pacing.
Inception has always been my favorite film, both Nolan's and ever. However, I believe this one may have surpassed it in Inception... In these two aspects
Lastly, I would like to praise Interstellar for achieving what no Star Wars movie has ever achieved which is: THE EXPLOSIONS IN SPACE HAVE NO SOUND, FOR GOD'S Sakes. As my FQ teacher used to say: Star Wars is extremely unrealistic, because in space sound does not propagate, so you shouldn't hear the explosions. So, kudos to Interstellar for not having sound when Dr. Mann's (Matt Damon) ship explodes.
P.S.
Star Wars is still awesome, even if you don't pay attention to those nerdy details
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.
such a fantastic movie, best science fiction out there, man the emotion of every characters damn fantastic movie, I recommend this to you all folks, watch this DAMN MASTERPIECE!!!
I gave this movie a 10/10 it was perfectly done in every single way for sure you need to understand a little bit science to understand the movie but If you know what you need to know in the movie you are gonna enjoy this movie and I fell like the characters development was well done it was not the best part of the movie but was still great and the main character development was perfect and you were feeling his emotions in every part of the movie but the best thing about the movie is the visual and the emotions the visuals were perfect as well as the movie was pretty sad the last 30 min of the movie were perfect
This deserve 10/10 by far this is a Masterpiece by Christopher Nolan
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
96 | Interstellar gives hope for humanity to look beyond for the future. It also gives a meaning for love that connect us in this mysterious universe. I couldn't believe I cried twice, It did not happen when I watch this film for the first time. In my opinion so far, Interstellar is Christopher Nolan's Magnum Opus.

I..... MIND BLOWING!!!!!!!!!!! My head hurts, I can't overcome this
I have never watched a Sci-fi movie with this amount of drama. You get attached to it to the point that you found yourself really appreciating what are you watching even though you don’t quite get some of the science theories that are within the movie. Really amazing soundtracks and the ending was perfect. That one scene at the end where Cooper walks into the hospital room where he meet his daughter again afer all these years is a scene i don’t think i will ever be able to forget.
I keep loving this move more at each iteration!
OMG!!!! What a MASTER PIECE from Christopher Nolan!!! I absolutely loved this movie
The Plot was Amazing!!! The Characters.. usually Pacing would be a problem but this film was so Great I scored it a 1.
Anne Hathaway WOW what a performance!!! Of Course Matthew McConaughey Showed UP!!! Great Cast!!!!
This Just bumped American Sniper for Movie Of The Year in 2014.. A perfect Ten In my opinion. I'm speechless how great this movie was Christopher Nolan Really Directed and Wrote a Masterpiece
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 need to fix this before I go.”
You have to talk to me. So, don’t tell me no.
I need to exist – I can’t be their ghost,
I have to go, because I love you the most.
You have a strong heart – Don’t let it crack,
I love you forever, and I am coming back…!
No time or space can separate us,
But you know gravity and what it does.
Out there, time is gonna run more slow,
But I’ll do all I can to keep my vow.
This is not a goodbye – don’t see this in that track,
I love you forever, and I am coming back…!
I know what you mean – but I just can’t S.T.A.Y,
Because ‘they’ did choose me – This is the only way.
I may be travelling miles away – thousand or lakh,
But that will not stop me from seeing you back.
Because it is your love that I am going to pack.
I love you forever, and I am coming back…!
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.
One of the best movie ever
Can't describe in words i mean its just the best space movie i ever watched till now ive watched it like 15times lol
Wow! First let me say, that this wasn't first time I tried to watch it, because it's kind of a slow start and it didn't help that I knew it would be almost 3 hours, as I am not a fan of long movies.. But I am so glad that this time I watched through as it was so so so good! Once the story gets going it's really interesting journey of hope and survival. And kind of sad too, because of the family.
I am so happy that this movie was recommended to me (several times!), really enjoyed it.
I can see the movie and see it again and again... Just amazing story and producers!
Love this movie....2 second time
Just wow, i just finished it, if you haven't watch now!
I thought this movie was absolutely awesome. Easily in my top ten favourite if all time.
Buy it: visually great. It starts out really slow, but picks up towards the middle and has a good ending
Well basically Nolan brothers managed to give a heart to "2001 A Space Odissey". That's all you need to know about this movie. And yes, it is just amazing.
most epic movie ever watched
Definitely the best movie of 2014 and in my opinion one of the best Sci-Fi movies out there. Nolan is up there with Stanley Kubrick in the Sci-Fi genre with this one.
fantastic film,it's beautiful.totally ninja!
Excellent. Drew real human emotion of what could have been some pretty dry material.
Story, acting and photography was great.
That's all what I can say. I'm still stunned from the experience.
One of my favorite movies of all time. I really enjoy topic of black holes and the dilataion of time.
Guys the movie is legendary and everything but beware of the details and do not be fooled by the beauty of the movie there are very important details such as dropping bombs from a certain layer in the atmosphere and this is really possible to happen one day beware and watch out people, pay attention to the details
What a cracker!
So glad to finally tick 'Interstellar' off my theoretical list, took me far too long to get around to it but boy am I glad I finally have done - sensational film! The most obvious sign of that being the case is how the ~2hr30min run time goes by in an absolute flash... insert joke about it like being aboard Endurance here
I'm obviously not able to add anything new to what many, many others have already said gushingly about this 2014 flick, so I can only say I'm sure I agree with the vast majority of whatever praise this has received. As one would expect from Christopher Nolan & Co., it's incredibly well made, sounds amazing and looks out-of-this-world (ha!) stunning.
Matthew McConaughey puts in an incredible performance as lead, most notably nailing all of the emotion-filled scenes - not that I care about these things personally, but I'm shocked to see the lack of high accolades that came his way from this... he merited more! Aside from him, there are very good showings from the likes of Jessica Chastain, Mackenzie Foy and Anne Hathaway.
I will note one 'but', mind. I didn't love the bits at the end involving the dimensional tesseract, don't get me wrong at all it's still superb viewing... just a noticeable drop from all that preceeds it, which honestly simply says more about how outstanding everything else prior is really. I thought similarly about (the equally magnificent) 'Everything Everywhere All at Once', for example. In short: just a nit-pick, tbh.
All in all, phenomenal!
It’s by far the best movie I’ve ever watched
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.
One of my FAVORITE movies I've ever watched. I regret not watching this before.
Chef-d'œuvre absolu du cinéma. My favorite movie of all time, went to see it three times in cinemas. Nothing more to say.
This movie is still incredible, the soundtrack and the story will always be so beautiful:sob::sob::sob:
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.
This is what cinema was created for.
It's one of my favorites.
Interstellar is undoubtedly an ingenious
masterpiece from Nolan. Starting from the storyline, characters, plot shifts, paradoxes of galaxies, enriching visuals, and intricate use of science, make this one a paragon in modern cinema. This Nolan film is mesmerizing, heartwarming, inspiring, dramatic, and at times shocking. In short, Interstellar is a mind-bending presentation of space and time with a soul wrapped with emotions.

Great story with a great soundtrack!
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.
Best Sci-fi movie ever created about Astrophysics.
10 - Totally ninja!
From the music to the acting to the plot: it is all simply amazing. It completely overshot every expectation I had if this movie, especially story wise.
I'm a very big fan of Sci-Fi and space so it's no surprise that I love this film. It goes to show that we as humans need to explore the universe rather stay just on Earth. Is there other worlds out there that can support human life? There has to be... so be prepared to spend around 3 hours enjoying this film, it's worth watching more than once to fully grasp on what's happening.
About the encrypted message. Towards the end of the movie, we find out Cooper himself sent this message. He sent it because he's discovered the mistake of going in the first place. He wished he had stayed with his family instead of going out into space. This is an important message - it was dire that Cooper's message got through when he found there was a way to do so. On the day Cooper leaves, there would have already been a lot of emotion and Murph sees something that could only worry her more, the answer to the code she was given. And the brilliant part of it is that it was one word, one simple, four-letter word: stay.
i love you so much!
This film is fantastic and good
this would probably the best movie I've watched this year.just watch it's amazing
This movie messed me up in ways I can't even comprehend! It is way beyond ten little hearts. It needs infinity hearts!
can't wait for the next one to come out.
Words cannot describe. I always tear up when Cooper sees Murph after 23 years and when he finally meets her at the hospital. Visuals are absolutely stunning and the music... Well. You know what Hans Zimmer can do. Watched it multiple times and will do in the future for sure. Highly recommended.
Alright, alright, alright... that's what I love about these space chicks...I keep gettin older..and they stay light-years away
That is a super fabulous movie
Actually one of the Best movies I ever watched
this is one of the most fricked up movies i've ever seen...
Loved this movie so much. Not at the level of Inception, but great nonetheless
Don't download it. Go see it at the cinema, it deserves the big screen. Wow. Stunning.
Good as hell. I was going to write something about how it is a great movie but I don't think it is necessary.
This is the movie I have been waiting for.
I think it is very convincing up until the black hole "inside the event horizon" part.
Humanity and its conflicting traits ... ps. Kubrick would be proud :)
Simplesmente perfeito.
One of my favorite movies, if not the favorite. STOP reading reviews and go watch it! I can even explain in words how good this movie was
Le meilleur film au monde de tous les temps
It's the best movie of this year. 3 hours no any sounds in the cinema, only film and nothing else.
Interstellar is Epic. Hail Nolan ....!!!
I enjoyed that movie so much that 10 points isn't even enough. Thank you Christopher Nolan.
One of the best in 2014, Nolan did an amazing job. Must see
This one just jumped to number one in my all-time favorite movie list. Beautiful in every way.
Amazing... like every Nolan movie.
This was, quite frankly, a masterpiece. Up there with Memento and Prestige. The old Nolan is back! No more no-substance-action-flicks a la Batman & Inception!
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.
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.
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.
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.
"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.
This movie, the story, the science and the insight will stay with me for the rest of my life! It was beautiful!

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!
