Breathtakingly beautiful and enthralling throughout, the wildly ambitious and emotional interstellar odyssey "Interstellar" is a flawed yet fascinating exploration of what it means to be human in alien worlds.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A great movie. Novel premise, grand scope and scale, and it's believable. Interstellar is definitely worth watching. I have a few minor critiques, the film takes a while getting to the meat. I'd gladly trade a few minutes of farmville 2080 AD for a few more minutes of the grand adventure that fills the last 1.5 hours of the movie. A few things take getting used to, especially Cooper's robot companions who talk with no hint of a robotic voice and whose design and function looks a bit bizarre (they're like walking soda machines). On their voice, it's supposed to be a practical humanized crew-member but it's distracting for a few minutes. Our adventurers make a few absurd rookie astronaut/scientist mistakes, but that's to be expected to spice up and generate conflict in sci-fi. My primary complaint is in a few areas that are starting to become major problems in Nolan's story-telling, for instance his characters love to explain things at length, long after the audience has gotten on board with an idea. We saw a ton of this in Inception, where almost every shot in the final dream sequence was of someone explaining the rules of Nolan's universe. Interstellar has Dr. Brand explaining the multi-dimensional science of love for too long, Dr. Mann ruminating on the nature of humanity, and Cooper reviewing the rules of relativity over and over. Nolan needs to trim each of these sequences down to the bare information for the audience. And then there's...spoilers to follow...

--- SPOILERS, SPOILERS, SPOILERS ---

Nolan needs to get off his sunny-happy ending kick. Memento, The Prestige, and Inception messed with you through either pitch-black endings or ambiguity. And then Dark Knight came along, and all the talk of sacrifice evaporates when we realize that Bruce Wayne is going to retire at age 40 to live in Italy with Anne Hathaway. Interstellar plays the same game, pouring sacrifice on top of sacrifice, and then it mostly disappears to make way for a squeaky clean ending. Interstellar's ending isn't as disappointing as Dark Knight Rises, but it teetered on that edge.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Interstellar was nothing short of a spectacle... a grandiose experience of epic proportions. It explores concepts no movie has ever explored before, and fleshes them out exceptionally. The movie has multiple moments of unmatched intensity, like when Mathew McConaughey's character Cooper must dock his ship onto a rapidly rotating space station, or when the Crew of four, including Cooper and Anne Hathaway's character, Dr. Brand (plus a couple somewhat unremarkable characters) travel through a worm hole into the unknown. The main characters are sculpted well and detailed, and the characters are somewhat relatable and their wonderful acting gives a good sense of realistic emotion shown. Although the movie takes a bit to get started (the initial take-off sequence was decently boring) and a few of the characters fail to be interesting, the movie was overall fantastic. The ending sequence was one of the most incredible things I have ever seen in a movie since Nolan seems to think like me. Only difference being, I imagine someone looking across time pictured as a bubble, rather than a sprawling plane of individual time periods spread out in front of you. Nontheless, a must see. Especially if you liked Gravity, Contact, or any other space movies. In fact, any Nolan fans out there should see it as well, as it has a heavy theme of human emotion and reaction to odd situations, found in other Nolan films like Inception. Seriously, go see it.… Expand

The story was one that I found difficult to follow during the picture but saw clear as day as soon as the credits rolled - and I marvelled at its complexity, its intricate depth of detail, its formidable ambition. I felt the 3 hours, which isn't a positive, but the time certainly isn't wasted. More than anything else, the film has deep and potent emotional core, one that perhaps runs the risk of being buried beyond the point of access beneath the film's many layers of scientific detail, but shines through at the end and is as blindingly beautiful as the stars the characters find themselves.… Expand

Incredible visuals mixed in with a solid, if not great, story. Unlike most sci-fi movies, you can actually get invested in the characters here, and for the most part the movie avoids stereotypical roles. It makes for some emotional scenes. There's a sense of "gravity" to the situation (heh!) and you can feel it!

Before watching this film: I have some average level knowledge about space travel, gravity, black holes, etc.

Premise: Humanity is facing some kind of a agricultural/biological disaster that will require man to find another planet to liveBefore watching this film: I have some average level knowledge about space travel, gravity, black holes, etc.

Premise: Humanity is facing some kind of a agricultural/biological disaster that will require man to find another planet to live on and so a dad/astronaut joins other astronauts to travel through a wormhole, suspected to be sent by people from the future, to seek some mathematical data that will help those in the present build a large space ship that will escape from Earth. (If you think think this was mind-blowing, imagine how difficult it was to write the previous sentence down! LOL!)

Pros:
1. Great visuals.
2. Smart and engaging story.
3. I love how the film is pushing the boundaries of how astrophysics is presented in film and has brought up this discussion among the everyman about space travel, time, black holes, etc.

Cons: 1. Shaky premises about how the Earth is dying and how governments are failing.
2. Numerous questionable presentation of how things would behave - many of the physics are wrong!
3. Poor spoken audio - It's like Bane from The Dark Knight Rises talking again, I can't hear many of the things said! Captions would be really helpful.

Laugh out moment: ttaM nomaD!

Score: 4/5 (no half score). Worth paying to watch it in the cinema. Many would want to buy the DVD/Blu-ray later for repeat viewing, but there are quite a number of flaws thereby preventing it from getting a 5/5. (Gravity, the film, has the same problem with its flaws.)… Expand

They are thought out, have an interesting concept, and are just flat out enjoyable. So after all these great films, expectation's were high for the Sci-Fi Thriller Interstellar. Does it live up to the hype? Or will it be the film to break Nolan's flawless track record?
Well let's start with the cast: Matthew McConaughey is absolutely excellent as the main character Cooper. The emotion and depth that he brings to the character is amazing. Anne Hathaway as Amelia Brand also does an excellent job, but her performance may be dwarfed by McConaughey's. Now the role that really surprised me was that of Murph played by Mackenzie Foy. Like many people I am usually skeptical about child actors. Their acting range is not that great most of the time, but wow did Foy do an amazing job as Murph. Her and McConaughey's back and forth were one of the best part's of the film. Other side roles such as Professor Brand played by Micheal Caine are great and a great addition to the film. I left out a big role as I wouldn't want to spoil anything for you.

The plot of Interstellar deals with Interstellar travel, which is traveling from one galaxy to another through a wormhole. It is very difficult to talk about the film as the less you know about it, the better. The crews journey through the black hole is exhilarating and really neat. Interstellar never loses your attention, you are engaged the entire 2 hours and 50 minutes. Though the whole film is very interesting, around the third act of the film it starts to get over ambitious. It felt like they had an idea, but they couldn't find a way to explain it as they wanted to. The scene felt disconnected from the rest of the film and brought it down a bit. The run time as I just mentioned is almost 3 hours long, and at that length it is actually great. The only thing I would do is end the film a bit earlier than it did.

Now it is essential that you see it in IMAX, this film is truly a special event. It seemed like over 70% of the film was shot with IMAX camera, and man did it look spectacular. I would go back to Interstellar in IMAX, just to see those shots of space again. Make sure you see this film and IMAX.

The soundtrack by Hanz Zimmer is just brilliant. It fits perfectly with the film and those intense moments are amazing.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not long ago, I watched a featurette with excerpts from the movie Interstellar, which showed the gargantuan amount of work and sweat Nolan brethren, Kip Thorne and others put in whilst exploring the behaviour of a black hole. The crisp attention and the minute details they did not overlook flabbergasted me beyond limit. So hopeful was written all over my head. And Nolan never disappoints.

Strewn with science, this movie not only takes you on a joy ride, it educates you as well. The concept of space-time singularity pervades throughout the flick as we witness a superb simulation of a black hole, and it doesn't stop at just that. We go into it. Yes, through the eyes of our protagonist for the first time, we witness a distinct theoretical world that has found pragmatism. An impeccable representation of Tesseract with threads of time.

The best thing about Nolan is the enormity of the project he takes. The script is so beautifully written that it rivets you right from the start. The concept is like magic, a miracle happening in a distant galaxy. As the story unfolds it makes you feel as if you are getting closer to finding answers to our existence finally. The plot however has something else in store for you. And it is a big fat blunt satire on our loneliness. We are alone and all we have is each other. That is the penultimate truth.

Wormhole was never explored like this before. How time plays tricks on you, powerful representation of anomalies, the wickedness of human mind when left alone in despair(that #Damon bit), how the music of nature (the rain, the thunder and the cricket chirping noise) makes you feel home, the conundrum of our purpose, the humour of TARS, the physics that touches almost every part in the flick, the poetry of the brave and wise through Dylan Thomas's words, superb lamenting conversations, and the brain-wrecking revelations in the end - every little detail has been exemplified with proper logical explanations and shown on a platter of sensations.

Emotional surge is strong, and with a power pack performance by McConnaughey everything uplifts. Bits of a father-daughter melodrama are the most feeling kind. Shatters you from the inside, as you empathize with the protagonist's tears. Zimmer touches your heart with his profound score. Notes are so brilliant that they put you right into the flick. This too would sit amongst Zimmer's best works.

It is one of the most ambitious projects that would be remembered in impending debates for the intricacies it touches and the science it explores. Nolan is certainly one of a kind director, a great gift to mankind, a wise man who wouldn't go gentle into that good night. Kudos to yet another mammoth achievement!… Expand

Like all Nolan's movies, its strongest qualities are a uniquely thought-provoking and grand plot with a centered emotional heart peppered with poignant one-liners that force the audience to question the world and their place in it. Also like most Nolan movies, its weaker parts are comprised of somewhat contrived and sloppy dialogue and questionable pacing. Some have expressed distaste with the amount of exposition as well, however I am less inclined to fault a movie with such large and far reaching ideas for packaging these ideas in a way the audience will at least to some degree understand. In a 3 hour movie you don't have the time to fully flesh out ideas naturally that may be completely foreign to the audience, thus heavier than normal exposition is needed to make sure the they are properly strapped in for the ride.

The audiovisual experience of Interstellar (especially on an IMAX screen) is bar none. Perhaps only Avatar and Gravity could be said to be on a similar plane, but given the great attention to scientific detail of the subject matter here and the fact that recreating Black and worm holes has actually given rise to breakthroughs is studies on the subjects puts Interstellar in a league of its own.

The story is as ambitious as they come for this day and age. There has not been, and is not likely soon be, another movie of this scope and originality in a blockbuster format (with A-list actors performing at their best and a nearly $200 million budget). Detailing more would be a disservice (though at this point you've likely read more elsewhere), but suffice to say it is truly exciting that a movie like this could be made.

Like most things, what you get out of Interstellar will likely come from what you expect out of it. If you're looking for plot holes you'll find them (though debate could rage on for days about whether they're really holes or can be explained by current or possible future science). If you're looking for constant hi-octane action you won't find that here. If you're expecting neatly put together dialogue and characters you're likely to be disappointed, because that's not what Nolan's about.

Interstellar, like his other movies, is about stretching what a movie going experience (and indeed reality itself) can be. It is best viewed with an open and contemplative mind and wide eyes and ears. It offers a glimpse of the universe we've not previously perceived, and it can spawn threads of thought that otherwise may not have found footing while taking you on a grandly entertaining narrative journey. If that is valuable to you, then Interstellar will offer up one of the best movie-going experiences that can be had.… Expand

The sound (or lack thereof) is alarming at times but really had the effect of "putting you there" so to speak (at least in a cinema), which I thoroughly enjoyed.

The Drama in the story is as gut-wrenching, no it exceeds and redefines: clasp-the-edge of your seat & hold onto your stomach Action & Entertainment of a movie.

The action in the film makes 'Gravity' look like 'Open Water*,' because as enjoyable as 'Gravity' was, like Open Water, it was a story that was limited to two characters or almost 1 1/2, in a small tank or stage, in comparison to the endless rows of interconnected Theme Parks that is Interstellar.

The film never becomes too cheesy or over the top as it tackles subjects of space exploration, mathematics and relativity. All the way up to the end, there were doors for the movie to let you down, for the writer to take an easy way out, and he never did. It has the Science-Fiction tag, but it's presented well enough to feel like a Documentary, because the story stays believable and as 'realistic' as we can imagine.

This work is Christopher Nolan's best yet, but I doubt he has reached his peak or plateau. Looking back at earlier works, I see now that he's found his center.

Going beyond the story-telling style, which takes on a ride through the many layers of a single character (I.E. Memento). He has now found a way to peel the layers of Space and tell a story in a way which transcends the viewer through a character, while transcending us through Space and Time..Inception was an unforgettable journey, but we still never left the Mind. Interstellar tackles Mind (Memento), Body & Spirit (Dark Knight), as well as Space, Time (Inception) & Travel.… Expand

“Interstellar” is truly an epic, not in the sense of what we initially think of as an epic, for example “Ben Hur” or perhaps even “2001: A Space Odyssey” (a film which it is worth pointing out I haven’t seen), but more in the sense of how“Interstellar” is truly an epic, not in the sense of what we initially think of as an epic, for example “Ben Hur” or perhaps even “2001: A Space Odyssey” (a film which it is worth pointing out I haven’t seen), but more in the sense of how when I think back to “Interstellar”, I think of those visually captivating shots of black, of the unknown and of those desolate landscapes made of water and ice, and how I found myself in awe of them. It is these that come to define “Interstellar”.
Set in the near future, Earth cannot sustain humanity anymore, and it’s worth praising Nolan’s subtle view of it, be it seeing the New York Yankees playing on an amateur field or discovering that the Apollo missions were faked to bankrupt the Soviet Union, which Cooper (played by Matthew McConaughey) denies. This scene, whilst allowing for a sense of character development in regards to Cooper, in retrospect seems to be Nolan emphasising how he sticks to the traditional elements of film and he does so more than ever in this film, from building several rooms of a spaceship from scratch to using five industrial fans to create a dust storm, thus attributing even more of the credit for the film to him.
Yet as I expected, it proves very difficult for members of this all-star cast to break through both the visually stunning shots and the label of Christopher Nolan, and be noticed. Only McConaughey succeeds in doing so, although Mackenzie Foy (playing a young Murphy) and Bill Irwin (voicing the robot, TARS) deserve mentions, as does to an extent Michael Caine (playing Professor Brand) and his recital of Dylan Thomas’ “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night”, although I still don’t entirely understand its inclusion, leaving big names such as Casey Affleck (playing Tom) and even Jessica Chastain (playing Murphy) “down in the dirt”.
Interstellar is a quintessentially Nolan film, meant to be seen on IMAX, imposing those classic Nolan themes of love and family whilst asking questions that I have not seen asked before, in this case winding up the scientists, although it is interesting to note that Nolan answers them by playing with several theories, instead of just getting the science completely wrong, as is so common. Yet the film is so Nolan that it takes that extra unnecessary step that Nolan always has present in his work, be it taking the audience to Limbo in Inception or by adding the twist of Miranda Tate (played by Marion Cotillard) turning out to be Talia al Ghul in The Dark Knight Rises.
Before I conclude, I think it is important to make this point in regards to Nolan and his (future) works. He has begun, whether he means it or not, to dwarf his own cast and to an extent his own themes and his commitment to traditional film elements. The amount of hype that goes into his films is widespread and if he isn’t careful, his future works could take a turn for the worse.
As I have already said, Nolan always takes that extra unnecessary step, one that I don’t think I would be so sympathetic with if it was another director, yet the brilliance of what comes before it makes up for it, often leaving me in that No Man’s Land of whether the film was worth 9 or 10 stars.… Expand

Interstellar and the hype surrounding it passed me by - I would often see the striking title poster on IMDB but didn't read more. Directed by the man who brought you The Dark Knight trilogy; Christopher Nolan packs an emotion filled space epic into just under 3 hours.

Movie Synopsis quoted from IMDB:
A group of explorers make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage.

Although, in a nut shell, this sums up the movie it doesn't tell you about the underlying story of a man and his daughter. Matthew McConaughey plays Cooper - a man who lives his life in the past and can't adjust to the reality of a dying earth. He is given the opportunity to save the world but it means leaving his family behind. It's his love for them that pushes him into the future, quite literally, space and time.

I was so drawn into this movie that I forgot where I was at one point. It had me on the edge of my seat, weep genuine tears and laugh at jokes by a robot. I admit to not knowing much about the science in the movie but it was easy enough to understand even for a novice like myself. The visual impact of the space scenes had my jaw drop and I can't wait to download the beautiful score by Hans Zimmer. Even my boyfriend was lost for words when the credits rolled, we could have sat through another 3 hours. If you see one film this month make it Interstellar.

Cinema: Odeon Norwich.

Favourite Quote: Love is the one thing that transcends time and space.… Expand

It features decent acting and high-class directing from Nolan. It is a modern day epic in every sense of the phrase, however, there are some minor flaws. The editing of this movie is very clunky, cutting between earth and space in the oddest of moments. It also rushes past moments that it should linger on, and lingers on moments it should rush by. It is the type of movie where the more one thinks about it, the more inconsistent it is. I would recommend seeing this movie however, and in the best theater possible. 7/10.… Expand

It's mind bending. It is incredibly intelligent. It is a tense, emotional, staggering piece of art. This is one of the most thought provoking films I have seen. Three days since I saw it, and I still can't stop thinking about it. While I do understand it, I can't help but think "wait, what?" And not in a bad way. Interstellar makes you think beyond the boundaries of what you may have been taught at school about physics, philosophy and ethics. I can't stand physics nor do I try to understand it in my everyday life, but this movie makes you look hard at the physical reality and complexity of what is out there, while still reminding you of the depth within ourselves. Yes - at times - the script is questionable and the score can be awkward, but McConaughey, Chastain and Hathaway are so utterly convincing and brutal, and the direction of Nolan as well as the cinematography is so awe-inspiring and bold, this does not matter. It is hard to truly review this film without ruining the flow of surprises, but Interstellar is more than your average sci-fi movie; Interstellar is complex and enthralling, scientific and philosophical, emotional and tense. It is, above all, utterly memorable.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie started off good but sooner or later it got tiring. I like Nolan but he over complicates things on purpose. The conclusion came, with what i thought would be a big finale, but went flat at the end. Disappointing finish to what could have been a really great movie. The love interest was randomly thrown at the ending for no reason. Also very predictable. I saw most of the twists coming, expect the surprising cameos. Overall i would say its not one of his worst films for quality wise but weak in a finale and storytelling. 8.6… Expand

All I knew about Interstellar was that it was a movie about space and that Matthew McConaughey was the main character. This in my opinion helped a great deal because upon experiencing the movie I was blown away by the scope and depth of it. Much like Inception it's a movie that gets you thinking, regardless of whether the premise is totally possible or not. The entire story took a lot of concentration to follow and I will probably see it again soon to try and figure out certain parts of it. Some areas of the plot seemed a bit weak, there were parts in which I didn't understand how something had actually happened and where things were actually going. The entire thing seemed like a huge space soap-opera with McConaughey's perpetual bond with his Earth-bound daughter being the glue that held the entire movie together. The script seemed a tad bit weak in areas with some lines seemingly written up by a 10-year-old. The movie seemed to hold the viewers hand in some areas as it practically attempted to spell out the most complicated areas so that the viewer could understand and keep up. By no means was it a perfect movie but it was a great one and it's ambitiousness should be celebrated. It tried new things and it was a thoroughly enjoyable 169 minutes, I'd recommend it to anybody!… Expand

The plot of the film is simple, Matthew Mcconaughey must travel through a wormhole with Anne Hathaway and his crew into another galaxy in order to find a new home for mankind, as the planet is dying. Cooper (Mcconaughey's character) must choose to leave behind his young children in order to possibly save them from having a terrible future, due to lack of food and dust storms. The science is fairly spot on, and tries to explain the properties of black holes, worm holes and gravity to the viewer, in order to understand what is going on. The visuals in this film are superb, along with the audio, although at times the audio did seem a little off early in the film during the scenes on earth.

The one thing that really grabbed my attention, was the original design of the robots on the spacecraft, TARS and CASE. Robotically I have never seen a design similar to theirs, the way they walk, control things and help the humans is truly amazing. The acting is strong throughout, however some may find the use of sentiment and certain emotional scenes to be possibly cheesy or over the top in some cases. Overall a great space epic, about emotion, family, science and sentiment that leaves you leaving the cinema in awe.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Interstellar is a true spectacle of a film, best viewed on the big(gest) screen. The sheer beauty of the visuals and particularly Hans Zimmer's epic soundtrack made the 2 hour 40 min runtime hardly noticeable.

Matthew Mcconaughey's hero does well with what Christopher Nolan gives him to do but is unfortunately stuck in a tin box with woefully under qualified Anne Hatheway (whose most telling contribution is a non-sensical and highly unscientific blurb about gambling the future of humanity on wanting to hook-up with her ex) and astronaut who dies #1 and #2.

Back on Earth things are a little better but you really get the impression that this is a vehicle for the display and unfortunately many of the character exchanges are rushed through and under developed.

Right up to the third act I was blissfully letting Mr Nolan do as he pleased as this visual feast unfolded before me until.. ...well I guess every Blockbuster has to have a happy ending but for me I'd of happily walked out of the theatre with Matthew Mcconaughey safely ripped apart in a black hole. Instead it might as well have finished with it all being a bad dream. The script races to tie up all loose ends, resulting in a rushed ending which doesn't feel like it belongs.

In summary, Interstellar is a movie as truly awesome in size as its subject matter, falling short only upon close inspection. An experience to be witnessed but unfortunately not the "Film Of Our Time" it truly could have delivered.… Expand

Interstellar is truly a sci-fi epic like no other. To compare said film to '2001: A Space Odyssey' isn't just a disservice, but unnecessary. The films are almost nothing alike, simply sharing small plot elements. Also, Stanley Kubrick'sInterstellar is truly a sci-fi epic like no other. To compare said film to '2001: A Space Odyssey' isn't just a disservice, but unnecessary. The films are almost nothing alike, simply sharing small plot elements. Also, Stanley Kubrick's vision of Arthur C. Clarke's sci-fi epic wasn't to ponder the philosophical questions that accompanied the story, but to make art, and art is was, and is. With Interstellar, Mr. Nolan set out to make his most personal and emotional film to date about love and time (time being a recurring theme throughout all of Nolan's films). But it's so much more than that too. There are no words to express the epic journey Nolan takes us on in the film, but needless to say, it's tear-jerking and emotional throughout. The acting is top-notch, especially McConaughey, who gives (I would say) his most emotional performance yet. But the actor who stole the show in a few scenes (one in particular, when they're on an alien planet) was David Gyasi as Romilly, one of the astronauts aboard the Endurance, their spacecraft. The musical score from Hans Zimmer is, without a doubt, his best and most influential work to date, helping drive the film's bold and breath-taking vision (the church organ helped significantly). The visual effects are easily the best to date as well, and of the year. To see a black hole created through visual effects in such a way, with pages theoretical equations provided by Kip Thorne (theoretical physicist, of whom's work inspired the film's genesis); what you see in the film is the most realistic depiction of a black hole, and even offered new insight to accretion discs surrounding the anomalies. But even everything else, from the alien planets to the Endurance, the visuals always look real. Then, there's the writing. I would definitely have to say this has some of the best dialogue i've ever heard in a sci-fi movie, and the script continually pours or oozes emotion, keeping the audience tethered to the film.

Now, about Mr. Nolan. Don't just look at Nolan, but look at his films. Some say Inception would be his masterpiece, while others would say it's The Dark Knight, or Memento. But honestly, every single film Christopher Nolan has directed is a masterpiece not of its genre, but of Nolan. Following is his quiet masterpiece, not the film that put Mr. Nolan on the map as a phenomenal director, but one people visited or revisited after becoming accustomed to Nolan, after seeing Memento, what could be called his breakout masterpiece. Then, right after, he directed the remake of the Norwegian thriller, Insomnia. This, too, could be considered a masterpiece, even if a remake. Then, we were given his take on the Batman universe, starting with Batman Begins, the origin masterpiece. Then, there's The Prestige, adapted from the novel of the same name, which can be called his dark masterpiece. The Dark Knight, his bold masterpiece; Inception, his complex masterpiece, and The Dark Knight Rises, his flawed masterpiece. Now, we have Interstellar, his emotional or personal masterpiece.

This is just my looking at Nolan and his films, but whatever your thoughts are, you can't deny Interstellar is one hell of a journey. He certainly is one of the best filmmakers of our time, and of all time. I can't wait to see what he does next, but i'm not sure it will be as emotionally powerful as Interstellar.… Expand

His films are almost perfect, but there are clearly ups and downs in his filmography. But the essential issue that promotes him as an artist is his almost extreme dedication to a notion of creativity and respect for the audience. He does not just want to tell a story about the world of mixed dreams, he wants us to be emotionally invested so that we finally understand that the essential core in any movie will always fall back on the emotional aspect, or rather, on our ability to re- positively or negatively) on the characters that fill the screen. The film of this master of the 21st Century is called "Interstellar" and I say that it is a risky film and that, in general, it succeeds in its difficult task. It is undoubtedly one of the films of that year, the making and photography are particularly studied in this film when absolutely everything, from the first minute, seems realistic and without CGI (Computer Graphic Imagery). The soundtrack is, at this time, a seal of Nolan in all its films and this one does not disappoint in anything, accompanies the film as if of an opera it was, with the crescendos to be intense and sweeping and the scenes more tense to leave someone breathless due to subtle touches. Interpretations are, as a general rule, very good. Regarding the story, it is difficult to go into detail without revealing much of the narrative so I will conclude by saying that this is one of the best films of that year. However Nolan revealing that thematically has no limits and that his vision is more a gift for those who love cinema intensely.… Expand

Rarely do I ever bother giving anything above 8, never mind a 10, but somehow, most of these critics seem to have missed one of the best pieces of sci-fi to have graced us not only for the past decade, but possibly since the 80s renaissanceRarely do I ever bother giving anything above 8, never mind a 10, but somehow, most of these critics seem to have missed one of the best pieces of sci-fi to have graced us not only for the past decade, but possibly since the 80s renaissance of sci-fi classics. Interstellar is quite simply a stunning spectacle, but also achieves an unprecedented amount of characterization for each individual character whilst also using them as a platform to scrutinize humanity's greatest flaws, but also its greatest strengths, something which lends this epic a broad emotional range as well as amazing shots of the cold, bleak and beautiful desolation of space and other worlds. These characters would have been nothing though without the great acting carried out by everyone, especially McConaughey, who has somehow gone from generic 2D 'pretty boy' rom-coms to bleak, apocalyptic sci epics with apparent ease, he manages to root the existential chaos of the barren future with very human roots, and lends a defiant optimism in a film which does bleak and despondent very well indeed.

The theme of survival is done exceptionally well, and whereas Inception was an ambitious mess which seemed to trumpet its importance without ever truly justifying it, the setting of unpredictable and chaotic space lends itself much more naturally to the confusion and awe which Nolan strives towards. The beginning is slow, but you begin to appreciate its purpose later on in the film as it straps you in metaphorically for the roller-coaster ride that is the journey itself. I will admit, I feel Nolan indulges a bit too much at the very very end in terms of falling to his Inception like weakness of overly abstract symbols, but he saves the brilliant coherence of the movie with a more thematically consistent ending.

Enter this movie with zero expectations, endure the first 20 minutes or so of painful nothingness, and then embrace the cosmic splendor that awaits. This movie feels like a terrific re-imagining of 2001 without becoming cliche.… Expand

Interstellar does this in spades. Its premise, storyline and unfolding plot is a masterpiece of scripting. The effects, locations and visual impact kept me so riveted I even felt I could have sat and watched another hour! So much so for the regular 120 min. average.
Having been brought up on 2001 a comparable intensely moving film, I can safely say this work by Chris and Jonathan Nolan raises the bar again. Helped by the IMAX viewing, which I would seriously question anyone's sanity who found that lacking, it takes us on a journey as much inner as outer, It hints and specifies the true nature of who we really are and can become, over and above the potential for science to help us on our way.
I can understand some reviewers "not getting it". This may well be because in order to get it one needs to let go of so much junk learned and stored. As is said in the film, and this is no spoiler, you have to let go of something, sometimes a lot, in order to move forward to see the future potential and answer. True now, true then and true always.
Nolan has created a masterpiece with the help of a production line up of actors and pre/post that can only make the viewer marvel at the gift playing in from of him/her.
I have nothing but the most profound respect and admiration for this work and the memories and gifts to chew over for years to come. 10 star galactic!… Expand

This movie is one of the best movies I ever watched, I might even say that its better than Shawshank Redemption. This movie nearly made me cry and I am a man(not being sexist plz no hate)! The plot! It is crazy. I cannot believe anyone had the guts to accept such daring and imaginative writing and turn it into a movie. This movie made me feel both happy and extremely sad at the same time. If you are more emotional than I am (I never cry D:) than be prepared to cry for the last 30minutes of the film. Sure at times you won't understand the 'scientific' explanations, but please don't let that stop you. I did not expect this movie to be anything great at all! I was dead wrong! This movie is at least a 10/10, I rate it a 11/10. Is it like Gravity? Helll No, Gravity can't be even compared to this masterpiece!! People who are giving this a 0 or under 9 are just insane. Yes it does have flaws, there is this one part I thought it was a tiny bit cliche, but still 11/10 for originality and its presentation and plot and characters and sound and everything.… Expand

Although the casting seemed questionable, it works well, and if you can wrap your mind around the physics of the film (and one cannot say the science was flawed; Christopher Nolan had scientist Kip Thorne help him "do the math" and the film was even praised by Neil Degrasse Tyson for its accurate depiction of a black hole), then it will be one jaw-dropping experience.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Quantas questões temos aqui?
Por: Gustavo Talaini

Fascinante, Christopher Nolan construiu um novo clássico de “Science Fiction” que já pode ser comparado com 2001 uma odisseia no espaço de Stanley Kubrick (eu disse comparado). Interstellar explora teorias físicas, dimensões não conhecidas e os sentimentos e emoções dos seres humanos, Nolan faz sua obra mais emocional, mas ainda com tons sombrios e psicológicos, é um dos melhores filmes do ano.

O filme começa com Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) sonhando com seu passado como piloto de nave espacial da NASA e quando acorda relembra que a humanidade está para acabar, a praga atingiu os alimentos que agora estão em escassez, mas a pergunta logo no inicio é: Qual a solução para isso?

“Uma viagem Interstellar em busca de um substituto para o planeta Terra”. Murph (Mackenzie Foy) tem a certeza que um fantasma assombra sua casa. – “Fantasmas não existem – diz seu pai Cooper que é um fazendeiro e ex-engenheiro, mas Murph sabe que tem alguém se comunicando com ela através de códigos morse.

A intensidade do filme aumenta quando durante uma tempestade de poeira (o que era normal) Cooper vê a mensagem misteriosa deixada por tal fantasma assim descobrindo que aquilo na verdade era uma anomalia da gravidade, então através de coordenadas misteriosas deixadas pela anomalia (Em teoria tinha alguém mesmo se comunicando com Murph, o tal “ eles “ seres de outra parte do universo), Cooper descobre uma base secreta da NASA onde encontra Brand (Anne Hathaway), o professor Brand (Michael Caine) e um genial robô; Cooper tinha sido aluno do professor Brand então ele foi “convidado” para salvar o planeta Terra assim tendo que abandonar sua família por tempo indeterminado;Ele aceita.

Em meio a um roteiro espetacular escrito pelo próprio Nolan e seu irmão Jonathan tudo se destaca em Interstellar, a trilha sonora de Hans Zimmer, as grandes atuações do fantástico elenco, os cenários maravilhosos e efeitos especiais brilhantes, mas o principal é o formidável toque de Nolan.

A apresentação de complexas teorias físicas te deixam alienado e mexem com sua mente, os discursos sobre a abrangência do amor, o que ele pode significar para cada individuo são emocionantes (sim essa é uma das palavras que representam Interstellar: emoção); tempo é outra grande questão neste filme, para salvar a humanidade Cooper e sua equipe terão que ir até saturno onde se encontra um buraco de minhoca que os levará para outra galaxia com o objetivo de encontrar outro planeta habitável, o substituto da terra.

Dois anos se passam quando Cooper chega ao buraco de minhoca cujo tem um deslumbrante visual, é incrivel, porém ao chegarem ao primeiro planeta “selecionado”o tempo se alterou na Terra ou seja lá já se passaram 24 anos e Murph agora é interpretada por Jessica Chastain com uma excelente atuação assim como o resto do elenco ( sim tive que repetir isso)

São raros os filmes com três horas de duração que prendem tanta atenção assim, certamente Interstellar ganhará indicações dos Oscars, o tom de realismo de Nolan é imponente, quando se chega nos minutos finais a adrenalina se eleva por conta das reviravoltas (Matt Damon foi uma grande jogada aqui) e as grandes questões começam a ser explicadas de uma forma terrífica.

Resumindo seja você fã de ficção ou não, Interstellar é totalmente imperdível é o filme mais grandioso e ambicioso de Nolan.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Nolan does it again man and am even more a Nolan fan now. It's another mind-bender from him, where he forces audience to think and reason. I like the fact that while mostly based on proved scientific theories the movie later suddenly falls into the philosophical/mind-bender genre like Nolan's many other movies. The movie feels a little slow in the beginning but it slowly builds up and ends on a great note. The father- daughter relationship works most of the times, and some of those times it is very emotional. People say his movies lack heart and emotions. He proved that wrong with this one. Those scenes with Matt Damon on that planet are very thrilling though also a little confusing because of Matt's character's ambiguous intentions. And that scene where his character gets part of the Endurance destroyed and Cooper attaches to the destroyed part is extremely well done. Hans Zimmer's score over all and particularly in that scene deserves high accolades. He succeeded to bring a totally new sound to the move, even though there were places where it reminded me of the extraordinary and his best in my opinion score of Inception. Loved that scene with those tall waves too. Loved the depiction of worm and black holes, especially that of black hole is so beautiful and mysterious. I wish they had shown more of it (see my comments next). The plot is quite complex. There is lot of science involved. And because of our limited understanding of that level of science at points it seems there are plot holes while there are actually not that many. And especially after he dropped into the black hole it all suddenly becomes so very confusing and at the same time so very away of the scientific theme of the movie before that. It falls in that metaphorical/philosophical genre. It's here where it has a lot common with Inception. Like Inception the movie had me thinking after it was finished, and require multiple viewing to grasp it entirely, which again is a triumph for Nolan, I believe. Acting is top-notch. Matthew was great overall, he nailed the emotionally scenes particularly. I have started to like the guy now. Besides him I think Mackenzie Foy also did a splendid job.

I do have some problems with it though, and that's why the missing one star in my rating. (1) It's barely a space movie. It couldn't never make me feel like I was in the space like Gravity did. I was expecting more scenes in the space with wide views of earth, stars and other planets. More scenes on heights. More scenes flying across other planets etc. I was expecting much more scenes with black hole and worm holes. They were on screen barely for few minutes. I wonder the money and effort they spent on building those things and how beautiful they looked especially the black hole but they didn't bother to show it more than a few minutes. And by the way what's about that total silence (zero OST/music) in space scenes? (2) The final scene where Cooper meets Murph could have been more emotional. I wonder a little that getting back to her was his mission all the time but there wasn't even a single tear in his eyes in that scene. I would have loved to see a crying Cooper like in one of those earlier scenes when he sees Murph's message on screen. (3) The very last scene where Cooper goes for Brand was totally unnecessary in my opinion. It was like that scene in TDKR where Batman kisses Catwoman/Selina Kyle before flying the bomb out of Gotham. Cheesy, unclassy and very un-Nolan. The whole movie was about father-daughter love then where did they get this guy-girl love in that. Looked quit a commercial move by Nolan.

Anyway, overall another classic from Nolan, another triumph, another movie which reminds us why we love movies and why they are so powerful. Marvelous work Nolan, keep it up.… Expand

Many may claim the movie jumps the shark towards the end, but considering throughout the movie how brilliantly it handles relativity, gravity, wormholes, and black holes, I can do nothing but appreciate the scriptwriters for trying something new. The movie isn't just a science-gasm, it also tells a deeply personal story between main character Cooper and his ever growing desire to be reunited with his family on earth. I won't spoil anything, but at certain points of the movie concerning relativity, my tears threatened to spill. Interstellar also boasts some phenomenal special effects that I dare say rivals 2013's Gravity in terms of scope. The movie is also paced excellently, never dabbling too long in each entertaining section. Finally the music by Hans Zimmer is incredible. I would consider this soundtrack to be among the best of all time because of how brilliantly it blends ambience, thriller, serenity, and trans dimensional. In the years to come, I will look back at Interstellar and acknowledge it as a defining chapter in space opera history and of the defining benchmarks for amazing films.… Expand

And then to be able to tie these physics concepts in to humanity and who how it can affect our lives...Nolan is comparable to Einstein in the genius and depth of his work. I think what Nolan has done, will not only increase the interest in the space program as he intended, but it helps advance our society by increasing the interest highest level of physics, which is pivotal for the advancement of our civilization.

There's only one problem... The make up. There are certain scenes where make up is vital to make a character look older. However, they fail to make it happen and the actors have to 'act' their age with no further visual representation.
