Christopher Nolan did it again; Interstellar will twist your mind and fill your heart with love. Interstellar isn't just a massive space-adventure. It's much more than that; it’s a film about human bonding.

Interstellar is by far the bestChristopher Nolan did it again; Interstellar will twist your mind and fill your heart with love. Interstellar isn't just a massive space-adventure. It's much more than that; it’s a film about human bonding.

Interstellar is by far the best sci-fi film of the year, and one of the greatest of all time. The vast storyline about the connection between us humans is so incredible, I felt so attracted to the characters and I almost started crying because it's so dramatic and epic. I usually don't feel so attracted to the characters like in Interstellar, so this was just so incredible! When it comes to the actors and their roles, are they all superb. Matthew McConaughey as Cooper is just fantastic; he's both dramatic and stunning in action. Jessica Chastain and Mackenzie Foy as Murph are both awesome, even a bit touching. One aspect of Interstellar (when it comes to the actors) is that there's one actor I didn't expect to be in this film, so it was a big surprise! There's even some humor between the characters in this film, which I didn't expect. As mentioned, the story is wonderful, but there might be some slow scenes in the end of the first act, but the ending explained it all so there's nothing wrong about it!

Interstellar is a film that just kept going and going when I saw it. I thought it would end like 3 or 4 times but instead it just continued with even more exiting and innovated things that I never have seen before. I can tell you this: if you thought Inception was something innovating and spectacular, go and watch Interstellar, you won't regret it! Some people think the last act of the film is less impressive, but I don't agree, it's fantastic! The structure of Interstellar is in my opinion very similar with The Prestige, maybe not as excessive but I totally love it! It's so clear that this is a film by Christopher Nolan, just the visuals are incredible and I was so amazed while watching it. It even looks more real than the film Gravity, and the first 30 minutes of Interstellar is totally superior than Gravity. I couldn't even see if there are CGI in this film, and that there's no 3D is a great thing!

There are some minor flaws in the film, and the first thing is the soundtrack. Yes it's from the famous composer Hans Zimmer, and I love his previous works like the music in The Dark Knight Trilogy and in the film Inception. But it's not exactly as massive and touching as I thought it would be. It's still impressive, but not as vast or touching. Another thing is the first act of the film; it felt like they had cut too much scenes, because it felt a bit to fast. There could also have been a bit more action. The last aspect is the trailer, it doesn't spoil much about the film, but I think they should have shown less of the visuals. It could have resulted in even more surprising things with the film.

This is the best film from Christopher Nolan to date, but it's not a perfect film. Even though, I don't think we need to wait that long until he creates something even more spectacular than Interstellar.

Music perfectly falls on the picture, the story can not tear myself away from the screen for almost three hours. This is simply the best modern sci-fi film. And don't forget, story based on Kip Thorne works, and theoretically it can be true! ^_^

Words simply can't describe the experience I had while watching this movie unfold before my eyes in that glorious 70 MM Imax format. The visuals were jaw dropping, acting was superb, and the story was filled with originality and hand full of surprises along the way. There is so much to this movie you don't know about when you go into seeing it for the first time, which was a huge plus! The less you know about the story for this movie, the better. While there are a lot of positives for this movie, my only complaint would have to be the pacing of the story. There were a couple instances where I felt like the story was being rushed and that I had to just go along with what was going on at those points. Despite the movie being almost three hours long, I kinda wish it could be a little longer so that the story could progress more naturally. Other than that, I have no other negatives to mention. I walked out of the theater feeling satisfied and wanting to experience it again! And probably will!… Expand

In fact, Interstellar works hard to convince you to see science in unimagined ways and this (that most critics are using as a reason why the film fails) is its strongest asset. A film with incredible imagination, Interstellar weaves reductive iterations of themes like exploration, love and time together so cohesively that the audience is challenged to see them each with new wonder.

Anne Hathaway is given one of her most complex roles to date and her work here is both efficient and subtle. Technically, the editing, cinematography and score all work hard to bring the ideas of the story to new heights.… Expand

There is also some subtle points to the movie The Black Hole. If you have seen both of these, movies then you should get the references. Jaw-dropping soundtrack! Cinematography is some of the best that I have seen this year. I really feel that this is Nolan's love letter to the genre. The movie is not without fault though, but everything blended so WELL that I still gave it a 10. I have not had a movie invoke so much emotion as this one did in a long time! One more thing to note, if you plan on seeing this, please see it in 70MM IMAX! It just adds to the size and scope of the movie!… Expand

Not that the story is superior to Kubrick's classic, but there's a heart to it that I did not expect. I enjoyed the science - it does not talk down to its audience, and I can say I learned a few things. I especially enjoyed the robots with their matter-of-fact voices/affect. Though they don't have a human appearance - they initially appear super clunky (until you come to realize what they're capable of) - you instantly feel comfortable with them, which I credit in great part to the incredible voice acting of Bill Irwin. The father-daughter story is touching - both the young actress and Chastain are tremendous. McConaughey, if you've seen him in True Detective, does not disappoint.… Expand

It was superb. It was mind-blowing. I'm old. I saw 2001 when it originally came out, when everybody who saw it, came out saying "WTF?" Then, people discovered watching 2001 while high - and everything fell into place!

During the (controversial) 3rd act, I was back in 2001 (and wondering where I left my bong years before..). I didn't really need to heighten the sensation though, Nolan bombarded the audience with son et lumieres and McConaughey bombarded the audience with the most beautifully wrought portrayal of abject desperation and unconditional love I've ever seen on screen.

It broke my heart and I'm cynical as hell. The screenplay was serviceable, the dialogue was atrocious (this is Nolan after all), but it didn't matter. The visuals made Gravity look like it was filmed on an IPhone. The performances? Even Anne Hathaway was fine. Jessica Chastain and Mackenzie Foy, I shall forever revere. But McConaughey? Good God, this man is working on a level unknown to other actors. Absolutely electrifying. Not the Oscar bait that the Academy usually rewards, I think a Nobel Prize is in order.

I never suspected a film would come along this year that could threaten my beloved Boyhood's hold on my heart, yet Interstellar comes perilously close.… Expand

Slightly clinched and flawed in term of plot wise, this pure hard science fiction that stresses a lot on Quantum theories, space elements, astrophysics, time, gravity and the rushing, complex and slightly illogical third act might squeeze one's mind in this heavy 3 hours mission, but the worthy and meaningful dialogues, enormous expansion from the universe in Gravity, strong and connecting relationship between father and daughter have overall made the film entertaining, thrilling and thought-provoking. Hans Zimmer follows the director's effort in terms of scoring, which the musics sound more emotional, calm and creepy rather than the usual loud and powerful style; award-winning cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema did perfect job to present stunning, immersive and state-of-the-art visual effects of the space, wormholes, black hole and unknown planets beyond our galaxy. It might not be the most epic and perfect film, but this love letter from Nolan which is heavily inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey, sending through the time and gravity somehow represents a rare film that begins and ends so beautifully and stellar.… Expand

The best sci-fi movie for 2014. It has a mixture of human psychology, drama, sci-fi and actions. I felt the movie was a bit short even if it's almost 3 hours long, extra 15 minutes would do. Good ending and it worth my time in the big screen.

Por muito tempo, o considerei meu filme favorito. Com mais proximidade, fui conhecendo outras outras e aumentando meu repertorio cinéfilo. Dito isso, revi o filme após quase 2 anos - e já tendo o visto pelo menos umas 5 vezes; e devo dizer que estava um pouco receoso pois minha visão mudou muito com o tempo, mas fico feliz em dizer que minha visão me proporcionou outra experiencia, que diferente do que eu pensei, foi tão boa senão melhor do que das ultimas vezes.

Agora pude observar aspectos que antes nem notara, sejam mais técnicos ou envolvendo roteiro. Ao assistir em 4K, numa tela grande, fica bem claro que Nolan faz filmes para o cinema especificamente. Quem teve o privilegio de assistir essa obra no cinema não sabe a sorte que tem - provavelmente sabe sim rs. O IMAX faz toda diferente, e as melhores fotografias vem daqui. Você fica hipnotizado, quase que literalmente. Principalmente no buraco de minhoca, qual eu acredito ser a retratação mais linda e complexa. A caracterização do mundo funciona bem, com uma poeira mortal, sem contar nas plantações infestadas. Acredito que poderiam ter dito algo no subtexto para os países a fora, mas tudo bem, minha ligação com a trama e os personagens é tanta que nem penso nisso. E o que falar da OST de Hans Zimmer? A melhor dele, senão uma das melhores. Essa parceria com o Nolan é uma das melhores coisas do cinema. A retratação do universo mais essa trilha é simplesmente uma obra de arte completa. MasterPiece.

Eu gosto muito dos personagens, e as cenas dramáticas me pegam de jeito, principalmente nas primeiras vezes que assisti. O plot twist é maravilhoso, e pra quem gosta de viajar nas sci-fi da vida, se entregar ao mistério e não se acomodar a respostas, esse filme é pra você. E alguns "subplots" como um todo funcionam bem. Matthew McConaughey tá excelente, mais uma vez se provando um ator completo. Mackenzie Foy me surpreendeu, tendo um futuro muito promissor. Menções honrosas a Jessica Chastain, Matt Damon e Michael Caine, que estão excelentes.

O trabalho de mixagem e edição de som é muito bem feito, sendo obrigatório assistir com um fone de ouvido bacana pra imergir completamente. O filme tem 3 horas mas parece que se passam 1h e meia. Os planetas são magníficos, uma real experiencia IMAX. A caracterização de todos é ótima, mal dando pra acreditar que, de fato, foram filmadas na terra. Os personagens também são bem desenvolvidos, pelo menos os principais. Algumas coisas tu só pega na segunda ou sexta vez assistindo...

Enfim, Interstellar é uma obra obrigatória a qualquer cinéfilo, e tem tudo que um filme precisa ter para ser uma verdadeira obra de arte. Nora 10.

In fact, the CD for this movie should be put up in museums and shown in history textbooks, for being known as the greatest movie ever that Metacritic gave a 74. I don't know what apes watched this movie and didn't like about it, I'm assuming it is the apes that are shown at the beginning of 2001 A Space Oddessy. ooh ooh ah ah silly ahh monkey people be able to discover Obelisk but can't discover a good reason to like this masterpiece made by Christopher Nolan (goat). If I were Christopher Nolan, I wouldn't even stress if I got a bad rating from Metacritic, knowing they gave Intersteller and Dune (2021) an 74. Actual **** apes who run this silly ahh website full of fat ass nerd who can't even see past their bellies when they wake up in the morning, the amount of fungus and popcorn under those **** chin and stomach roles would help starving children eat, and even then they still would give interstellar something other than 74. I'm honestly not shocked that you people didn't like the movie, I just know you were lost in confusion before they even left the atmosphere. But I bet you guys got really excited when they brought up cornfields until you have more corn stored under your rolls than they have on the entire planet. I now want to review the movie using a 3 act structure. Act 1 (Exposition-Inciting Incident) Act 2 (Midpoint-Rising Action) Act 3 (Climax-Denouement). We are introduced to our Main Character 'Cooper' played by Academy Award Winning Actor Matthew McConaughey, a farmer born in the wrong generation, grew up through many life-altering and developing world issues, being a previous Nasa Astronaut, settles down with his family where he becomes a father of two, his daughter 'Murph' played by Mackenzie Foy. And his son 'Tom' played by popular actor Timothée Chalamet. Without being shown on screen it is shown it is hinted that the mother of the two died. That introduces the Co-Parent to Cooper 'Donald' played by Golden Globe winner John Lithgow. It is also told that he is the father to the mother of Cooper's children. Eventually, Cooper ends up on a mission to a different galaxy to hopefully find a life-sustaining planet. Act 1: Act 1 (just like every act in this film) is an undisputed masterpiece, it starts out the film trickling with minor little problems, Murph getting into trouble at school, sand storms, and slowly losing all food resources year by year. But our first lead up to the 'Inciting Incident' is when a sandstorm occurs and they are forced to retreat home, when reaching home Murph is quick to realize she had left her window open, Cooper and Murph quickly head up to her room to not only discover sand all over her room but sections of gravity that seem to be spelling something out in binary. It's revealed to be coordinated to a hidden NASA base which Cooper and Murph Decide to head to, but are quickly taken in for questioning. When brought in it is discovered that an old friend of Coopers 'Dr. Brand' played by Academy Award-winning actor Michael Caine. This is when Dr. Brand introduces us to our 'inciting incident' Dr. Brand reveals he has been trying to find a way to bring the entire planet to space without killing everyone, and bettering human life, but he does not have the means to do the equation, so plan b is to enter a wormhole and enter a new galaxy, to find a planet that is suitable for human life. This is when Act 2 begins. Cooper is told that a team of people was sent to the galaxy to study and find the best planet, but all had lost contact with Earth. Cooper is given a new mission to go to this galaxy, find the best planet, and start the new human race. He accepts the mission and leaves his family. Murph is heartbroken and angry at her father for this. But that does not stop Cooper from doing the greater good. I got bored don't feel like finishing whole review Metacritic sucks, Christopher Nolan is the goat, bye-bye… Expand

Interstellar is a mind-blowing movie, there is no way to summarize it in order to convince the audience to go see it. The next work of Christopher Nolan arrives with much more strength than Inception, not only because we jump from dreamsInterstellar is a mind-blowing movie, there is no way to summarize it in order to convince the audience to go see it. The next work of Christopher Nolan arrives with much more strength than Inception, not only because we jump from dreams to space, but also because is noticeable the consolidation that reached this director. First is the setting of the story, the life of mankind in the Earth has come to an end, although the interesting thing is how Nolan shows it, from the point of view of a family. Here it is clear the importance that acquires the human side in the story (which is also present in Nolan's filmography), and this theme from the beginning to the end is the protagonist. Some examples are the decision that Cooper has to make, whether going to space but miss seeing his children grow or stay; and the other one is probably the most heartbreaking scene of the movie, when the protagonist sees the compilation video (astonishing performance btw). This whole thing aims to evaluate human behavior, sometimes subconsciously (Inception, Memento) and others rationally (Interstellar), but both about survival instincts. Another amazing things about the picture are: the visual effects, obviously, how the crew gather the current info and theories about the aspect of a real dark hole; second, how it exhibits the concept of relativity; and finally, the representation of time as a tangible dimension. The film keeps you on the edge of your seat for nearly 3 hours, definitely nothing like what has been seen before.… Expand

Like all the Chris Nolan fans, I was equally excited to see the movie on the opening day opening show. But I slightly disappointed that it was not a digital 3D film. I agree, this science-fiction was more dramatized than usual space travel stories does with an adventure-thriller. Almost a 3 hour long stretch movie did not waste much time to take us to the core of the story. Get prepared for this extremely rare voyage into the space with a logical explanation for everything you see on the screen. Well done research for the most matured and intelligent writing. All the credit must go to Nolan brothers. A good sign from Jonathan Nolan, who can make big in the entertainment industry in a future like his brother.

As we know many had liked 'Inception', to me that was a simple multi-layered action movie, that's all. But the same stuffs that used in this film makes sense. In fact, you have to have a little knowledge over how the universe works, so then it will be easy to catch the scene and situations while watching the movie. Totally like a documentary style concept, but with the additional stuffs like characters and its emotions add flavor that gives a movie look. An educational movie, though it also can work for those who wants just entertainment. Only the slow movie pace would test their patience.

It was the story of a family alongside the future of humankind and decoding universal mysteries through travelling in space and time. This movie would a reasonable for those who thought '2001: A Space Odyssey' is a boring piece, Cleverly written cinematic piece especially for science geeks. I don't know how perfect the movie to the actual present astrophysics, but will justify for the common people's capacity of understanding with an encourageable amount of commercial elements in it to entertain as well.

The first three quarters of the movie was well made. It puts me in a unblinkable position like a story was narrated by Brian Cox in a television series. Like I said, lots of astrophysics involved in it, but strangely human emotions were also exhibited equally that I never expected one from Nolan film. It was not an ordinary sentiment, but was strong enough to make a man cry for happy and sad situations in the movie. I liked science and emotion coming together. In fact, it saved the movie, otherwise it would have been a science documentary straight from NASA production through Nolan direction.

There are many surprise elements in the movie and of course there is a twist at the end. We can call it a series of twists like the layers. Compared to last quarter of the movie to the rest, it completely detaches which opens broadly to the different directions. And that happens so fast rushing towards the other end. Which give an impression of the movie 'Inception'. In a perfect way to say the first 75% was 'The Tree of Life' and the remains are 'Inception'.

The story was initiated with a realistic approach with actual scientific contents as per the present understanding about the universe. But the end was let me down with the layered contents that kind of impossible to agree with it. As a cinematic theme it worked, yeah, a good solution for this wonderfully written story. We know that the time can't run backwards, so that's the trouble.

Anyway, this movie defines in a new way, I mean scientifically the existence of ghost. It was not a horror movie, but I liked supernatural force that merged with this science fiction theme. That explains and gives vast ideas to expand our physics beyond something and somewhere yet to reach. Hats off to the director, because he was not thinking of making money here. His idea was to implement what the humans are understood so far about the cosmos. And he very nicely transformed those into the silver screen with the blend of human emotions. In my opinion, this will replace '2001: A Space Odyssey' for sometime till another one make this way.

The visuals were not that great, but simply very good. To see those in digital 3D would have given us a different experience, sadly Nolan was not in favor of that technology. Hoping this movie would get as many as the Oscars nod. Especially not getting into the best motion picture shortlist would be a shame. Like I said I'm no one fan, I just love watching everyone's every movie. I would have went to see it again if it was converted into digital 3D, since I'm modern tech geek when it comes to the films.

The end scene leaves a hint of a possible sequel. I would be happy if that happen in a near future, but definitely that would be a completely different cinema as per how this one ended. I know his fans want that to happen and so am I. What I gonna say is it is a must see asap if you are a movie fanatic like me otherwise Nolan movies does not need anyone's recommendation because his movies usually sell itself like the hot samosa.… Expand

I followed this movie since I knew it was in production. I have grown to have great confidence in Christopher Nolan and his abilities as a director, and as a writer, not to mention his brother who helped him with this one. Quite ambitious to make a movie about a worm hole, even more so that the human race depends on what is on the other end for survival. My mind was blown, such a large scale with very rich and deep emotion for each character. The grandeur and the detail supersedes anything I've ever seen before. Just when you think this movie is a little too tame, it flips you over. Isn't as structurally sound as some of his others, but this is flat out incredible. Only the best of the best can take these components and make a movie out of it. And not just a movie, a great movie. Worth a watch.… Expand

I have read other reviews addressing the middle portion being slow and boring but the producers of the film had to describe what was going on to a very broad general audience. The average person on the street will not "understand" what the producers are trying to illustrate for a fairly complex concept. The depiction of gravitation lensing on the black hole was very well done. This film is not typical popcorn fair and it makes you think long after the lights come back on in the theater. There is a lot going on with this film on several levels and was a joy to view.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I approached this film with trepidation after reading a lot of the negative reviews, but having seen it, I felt compelled to add to the growing praise it has received.

This is one of the most awe-inspiring films I have seen for a long time. The emotional development of the characters was just perfect, and while certain plot developments were dropped into conversations earlier in the film, I can understand why this was done. It was to aid people who seem unable to comprehend complicated plot structure, in this respect Nolan failed, as a lot of people still seemed to be in the dark.

This film is sci-"fi", so the third act, however fantastical, was not meant to be grounded in reality. Even so, the tesseract created by our descendants, and their ability to manipulate gravity and consequently time, alludes to unfathomable technology from our current technological viewpoint. The black hole could have been an artificial construct used as a teaching tool to transfer knowledge from a 5th to a 3rd dimensional being. Time being represented as a "physical" environment in this 5th dimensional space, such as the 2 dimensional wormhole was represented as a sphere in 3 dimensional space.

From the visuals (which were just awe-inspiring) to the decision to allow atmospheric sound and music to mask the dialogue in places, representing either the immensity of the situation or the sheer emotional trauma at such points.

I love that in this day and age, a Hollywood director could create such a piece which transcends the mundanity of daily (current) societal games and norms, and directs our gaze to the ineffable majesty of a greater reality which exists all around us.

I can't wait to watch this again.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Incredible vision and creativity in this film. That is ultimately why I love watching films so much - I want them to make me think, and go to places I've never been before.

To get some things out of the way - yes, this film is very similar to 2001: A Space Odyssey, but I wouldn't say it is as good. There are small weaknesses which keep it from being a perfect 10/10 on my list, but it is still one of the best sci-fi movies.

The plot seems to be very well written for the most part, especially the science. You can tell they did their research. The use of scientific concepts like gravity and time distortion (or w/e you call it) was very unique and cool, and I really like that we got a glimpse inside a black hole - of course we don't know what is really inside, but its cool to explore one possibility.

There were some small things I didn't like - for example, I still don't know how I feel about the concept of "love" as some space/time transcending force - it sounded a bit cheesy. But on the whole this film dazzled me with its scope and creativity.… Expand

Interstellar is a film about, above everything else, humanity's need for exploration. It's hard to miss this fact, what with all of Matthew McConaughey's monologues on the topic in the film's first half hour or so. The blighted, dying futureInterstellar is a film about, above everything else, humanity's need for exploration. It's hard to miss this fact, what with all of Matthew McConaughey's monologues on the topic in the film's first half hour or so. The blighted, dying future Earth is practically a metaphor for its navel-gazing population, so blind to the fact that they're literally farming themselves to death that they actually rewrote the history books to discourage wasteful wanderlust. So it comes as little surprise that explorers are the ones plotted to save the species in spite of itself.

However, getting past the heavy-handed setup is worth it, because once the crew of Interstellar's interstellar vessel takes off, so does the movie. The visuals are always great and sometimes amazing. The care with which the film's universe is rendered is apparent. Kip Thorne, Interstellar's science adviser, really earned his paycheck here. The actual science is less perfect, but if you can ignore all the hand-waving at the beginning and ending of the film, the rest might actually teach you a thing or two.

It goes without saying with a cast like this that the performances are all solid, including an unexpectedly disturbed turn by Matt Damon. Christopher Nolan shoots this film in signature stylistic fashion, and his musical right-hand man Hans Zimmer provides a suitably rousing score. The ending is more than a little derivative, but it serves.… Expand
