This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just returned home from the theaters. I don't know what to do with myself. Never has a movie left me feeling so insignificant and small. My friends and I left the theater in total awe. What Nolan has done is amazing. Creating a film about the relativity of time and the literal insignificance of what one hour on Earth may be to a moon rock floating six billion miles away. The scary thing is, what felt like a week to Mathew's character, Cooper, was just around 100 years relative to Earth. The film is astonishing. Recommending it to everyone. Brilliantly cast and acted, a truly remarkable milestone in storytelling. Well done. Expand

Interstellar comes from a director whose work's been fantastic since the beginning of his career, from The Following, to The Prestige; from The Dark Knight Trilogy to Inception. What I love about Nolan is that he builds his own worlds in such a marvellous - very well thoughtful and entertaining way that it is almost impossible to not leave the theatre without wanting to go back once again.

Enjoy this visually and breathtaking masterpiece, brilliantly acted by leading actor Matthew Mcconaughey, with a MAGNIFICENT soundtrack by Hans Zimmer and a very well unexplored theme that is always captivating in Nolan's films.

Mr. Nolan has proven himself once again, as why he is one of the greatest directors of our time.

And it's one hell of a ride that will probably stick with me years after my first time watching it. The characters felt so real and sympathetic, and you want them to succeeded in their mission. You're on board for the whole ride, despite having some narrative bumps that may bring the movie down for most people. And a final act that left me bittersweet, since there wasnt the emotional gut punch I was expecting.

That being said though, Interstellar deserves its place amongst one of the best sci-fi movies of all time, even if it will divide people, it's ambitiousness is praise worthy and it'll go down in history as a technical achievement. Interstellar was one ride I will never forget.

This is a hard science fiction movie, not Armageddon. The plot is simple the science isn't that bad either and if you're confused at all, Kip Thorne released a guide about the theories behind the movie. One thing this movie does beautifully is the scientific concepts start out rather simply and gradually become more complex, easing the viewer into the foray of interstellar exploration. Great movie! I will watch it again... and again. Expand

I think the ending could be improved if Cooper were to sit by his aged daughter's side, holding her hand, with the only sound in the background being the ticking of the clock, or a **** until the credits rolled. That would tie up the idea of time and relativity very nicely, especially given Old Professor Brand's fateful words about time.

That being said, I was disappointed and a little surprised to read some critics' responses to the movie. I think 2001 has taken on mythical status over the years, and all contemporary sci-fi movies, or at least those that reach for the stars, are contrasted unfairly to the dated, disjointed Kubrickian opera. But then again, I don't smoke weed.

If you love space, and you love movies, check out this film. It's definitely worth the price of admission.

This is one of the best films I have seen in years. It is really
exciting to think of all the amazing things we could accomplish if we could only unite and focus our energy on the wonderful mysteries of the universe. If you watch this film, keep in mind while this film is science fiction, the story tells of a very human experience. One that I hope humanity can one day experience. A lot has been made of the fabrication of how a black hole would really behave. Just keep in mind even the brightest people in the world do not know what really happens inside a black hole. We have theories, but no conclusive evidence. Being that this film is Science Fiction, what is the harm in exploring the unknown reality of a black hole? The physics presented in the film are largely accurate, but that does not mean every aspect of the film must adhere to the known laws of the universe. The main point of this film is to inspire the imagination of the audience. This is an amazing film. Please do try to enjoy it for what it is; A great story of what it means to be human.

Incrível, essa é a palavra que define Interestelar, o filme apresenta uma ótima história, onde a ligação entre os personagens se mostra forte e coerente e a atuação bem feita pela maior parte do elenco.

O filme apresenta ótimos efeitos visuais e sonoros, porém há muitas cenas que estão no filme que parecem estar lá só pra aumentar a sua duração, não irei entrar em detalhes para não spoilar.

A trilha sonora do filme é boa, porém repetitiva, mas se encaixa em todas as partes em que foi colocada.

A ligação entre os personagens, como dito antes, é ótima, você consegue perceber plenamente o amor que Cooper tem pelo seus filhos e as ligações entre outros personagens são razoavelmente boas, deixando quase nada a desejar.

A história é muito envolvente e te prende do inicio ao fim, e isso é um grande ponto positivo para o filme, até mesmo as cenas que os diálogos são sobre assuntos científicos, não conseguem tirar sua atenção. E não vá achando que o filme é só teorias, há uma boa dose de humor, principalmente pelos robôs que acompanham Cooper e a tripulação na nave.

Apesar da longa duração do filme, 3 horas, você percebe o tempo passando, pois como já dito a história é altamente envolvente, vale a pena investir seu tempo com o filme, então prepare a pipoca e divirta-se!

For a movie thatInterstellar is Christopher Nolan's attempt at recreating Steven Spielberg's sentimentalism and Stanley Kubrick's complexity, but not fully succeeding at any of them. The visuals are decent, but pale in comparison to Gravity. For a movie that happens in space, its cinematography felt very constrained (the camera was usually too close to its subjects), but wide shots are beautifully done. The acting was more emotional than in the other Nolan movies, but most of the characters are stereotypes (working class hero, smart child that's supposed to be cute, wise old man, etc.) and the way they were portrayed was corny and simplistic. All of them could have benefited from more personality traits to be more relatable and realistic. But the biggest problem with Interstellar is the same problem in Nolan's work in general: the script is overly convoluted and hard to follow and relies too much on exposition dialog rather than telling the story with imagery. Not to mention it's at least one hour too long. Not a terrible film by any means, but in the hands of a more subtle and less self-indulgent director, it could have been the masterpiece it desperately wanted to be. Expand

Hans Zimmer has done a phenomenal job making the soundtrack epic, emotional and add tension to suspenseful moments of the movie. Secondly, the CGI is flawless. On par with Gravity's CGI. Now, the story. It is extremely complex. I' not going to talk about it that much because it will spoil a couple of essential parts to the movie. The only thing I will say, is that I still think about it, even though I watched the movie a week ago. And that's what makes this movie special to movie. I still think about it. Even if the ending is not up to par with the rest of the movie, it is open to many interpretations, just like Inception.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated sci-fi film Interstellar is definitely the most ambitious one the director has ever undertaken in terms of plot and vision. It's a film that will definitely transcend time and space and within the following decades will be dissected and analyzed as much as few other great and important films.

The performances are all top notch and even though it's hard to distinguish any of the actors, it's safe to say that Matthew McConaughey delivers a powerhouse performance (his best) and carries the film until the very end. He is Nolan's best lead so far for me. Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, Matt Damon, Mackenzie Foy, Casey Affleck and Bill Irwin are only some of the actors who compile this tremendously talented ensemble cast. Especially Damon and Irwin are two very exciting surprises. Even Ellen Burstyn has a small but extremely effective part.

Plot-wise, even though Interstellar is as ambitious as people expect it to be, several moments feel a little rushed due to either the screenplay or the editing. But, because there is no such thing as a perfect film, Interstellar manages to maintain its ambition on the highest possible level and any minor flaws are easily forgettable. Nolan balances several adventurous sequences (inside the wormhole, around the black hole, on the potentially habitable planets, the docking sequence) along with plenty emotional and intimate scenes.

On the technical side, Interstellar is a masterful achievement. Hans Zimmer's organ based score is one of his best and it accompanies the characters from their most intimate to their most engrossing moments. Hoyte van Hoytema who replaced Wally Pfister as Nolan's director of photography creates one of the most visually stunning experiences in the history of cinema. The visual and sound effects and the editing are bound to be recognized.

I can't really say if Interstellar is Nolan's best film but it definitely is his most ambitious by far. Except from being his most ambitious film ever, Interstellar is also his most divisive. The decisions he makes in the infamous third act may alienate some people but for me this part is the best and most audacious of the whole film and the way Nolan directs it and delivers it, makes it feel so heartbreaking and awe-inspiring at the same time.

Interstellar is a heavenly made science fiction film and certainly one of the greatest cinematic achievements of all time. Part of this film's greatness lies on the fact that it desperately needs to be watched at least twice. First for the questions and then for the answers. Go watch it on the biggest screen possible.

This film is destined to be a box office smash but its very potent as well. Everyone had high expectations for director Christopher Nolan, who is known for the Dark Night trilogy and Inception. I can honestly say he meets the expectations. The film is visually stunning and is full of an all star cast featuring the amazing Matthew McConaughey in the lead role. McConaughey is brilliant and although this film is not likely to win him an Oscar it is helping him establish himself as a true a list actor. Interstellar is a movie that will make you think but in the end it ties up all the lose ends. You will be wowed through the whole movie, despite a running time that reaches nearly three hours. Expand

To me, that's a very good thing. His movies have repeatedly been original (which, among all the remakes, sequels, and reimaginings that are so prevalent now-a-days, is unfortunately quite rare) and Interstellar is no exception. It's a very unique film that touches on a subject that has somehow rarely been touched upon. Namely, the intricacies of how worm holes and time travel truly might work and how the human race might utilize them to aid in its survival. This movie doesn't need to rely on flashy special effects (though they are quite good). It doesn't need to fill each moment with action in order to tell a story (I'm looking at you Michael Bay). And it doesn't insult the intelligence of the audience by providing too much detailed explanations from the characters as to how worm holes and time travel work. There are a few scenes where they touch on the subjects, but Nolan assumes that his audience is at least reasonably intelligent and can not only understand the concepts by direct monologue, but also from inference by what's being portrayed on screen. There are moments which someone who is nit-picky might find to be far fetched, but this movie isn't targeted for such an audience. It's targeted towards those who can reasonable suspend their disbelief enough to catch the point the movie is trying to portray. In fact, the movie is less about the science and the theory, but more about the characters and that "what-if" factor. The acting is simply superb. I found my manly self holding back tears in one scene, and giggling like a fool in another. To this date, I have yet to watch a movie which Nolan has put out which has been anything but fantastic. He has built a reputation of one of the greatest Directors and screen-writers of our generation, and I'm personally glad to be alive to experience it. Expand

The story is engaging and suspenseful even if you can predict it. The film is long but it allows you to feel the length of the journey and let the characters breath. The stand out is the presentation with the film being beautiful to look at and is a must see on the big screen and/or IMAX (definitely IMAX!). Its not as good as The Dark Knight or Inception. The film is a little too long (dragging a lot in the first hour), the ending reveal is a little predictable, and the film doesn’t make you think as much as the others. Honestly, though its still a really good film in what has been for Nolan a great track record. See this movie while its in theaters as this is one you don’t want to miss. Although turn up your hearing aids for the first hour or so because Matthew’s character has quieter whispers than Batman in the Dark Knight films. Expand

As a big fan of space exploration I was more than pleased. Cinematography and visuals were breathtaking, capturing both the warmth and beauty of cosmos and also the cold nature of it. It surprised me with mind bending concepts, some of them I wasn't even expecting. Like wormholes, Nolan bent science of such concepts like Relativity, Multidimensional gateways, gravity and black holes themselves to the limit to suit his artistic vision which provides quite a spectacle.
However, even if considered a masterpiece by some of you already, it is a flawed film. Once again we see a trend in movies to spit out as much exposition as possible in a form of dialogue, so that general public would follow the film. I get it, not everyone is as perceptive of visual ques that film fans would notice immediately, but the dialogue based exposition hurts the film and becomes a bit monotone on delivery even if the things characters are explaining are interesting. Surprisingly the film tries to convey some pretty important themes that hold the hole movie together, but sometimes outright fails because of lack of development, and this is almost 3 hours movie, so that's really strange indeed. Other than that characters were good for the most part, father-daughter story arch felt very emotional.
Hans Zimmer's soundtrack was bit of a let down. Don't get me wrong, it sounded awe inspiring at times, but thematically speaking it felt very limited. Remember the teaser of the film and it's soundtrack? If you heard that, then you pretty much heard the whole album.
The film is a jack in the box. Once you know the whole deal the first time it all comes to its place very nicely, but I do not believe I may find some little point I've missed that would change my interpretation of the film completely. Even with its mind bending concepts it's a very straight forward film.
In conclusion it was a great film, but in good consciousness I cannot call it a flawless masterpiece. I do recommend it however as I'll probably return to the theater to enjoy the spectacle once more

However, can this film stand up to the Dark Knight Trilogy, or is it thinking too big?

Interstellar wastes no time introducing the characters and the situation that is the main driving force behind the movie's plot. The Earth is dwindling, helplessly, and an ex-Astronaut farmer is led to be the savior of all mankind. Cliche, right? Wrong. While the concept may be something we've seen before, the precision is flawless with subtle clues sprinkled throughout the movie to suggest a greater purpose for everything that is happening. Interstellar also manages to be quite emotional, and do not be surprised if you have to fight back tears during a couple scenes. The scale of the film is also something quite impressive, rivaling 2001 in scale and grandeur. The special effects are very well done and the score is one of the best in any film. The actors in Interstellar are also some of the best in the industry, and when they need, they are skilled at creating a sense of dispair, agony, and pain.

One thing that impressed me most about Interstellar was the fact that the movie never felt too long, drawn out, or stagnant; which is quite a feat for a sci-fi movie that is 2 minutes shy of 3 hours. The sci-fi part is also something worth mentioning, with much of the subject matter being confusing and a lot to digest. However, I felt that the science behind the film, while not entirely proven (or disproven); was appropriate and created a detailed perspective of space and the many anomalies that happen there.

All-in-all, Interstellar is simply the best sci-fi film I've seen; and it rivals 2001 in sheer ingenuity and scope. The visuals are stunning and the depth of the film begs to be seen in IMAX. Excellent actors, superb storytelling, and effects that will make your jaw drop are just some of the factors that make this an impressive cinematic feat. Interstellar is a must-see and a film that will have you talking for years to come....especially with the ending. Highly recommended 10/10

I think the robots may be a nod to the black monoliths in 2001 helping the cast push further and further into space. If you're a sci-fi fan, don't miss this! It is a long film with quite a complex plot (that does hang together and doesn't fall apart like Gone Girl) and is one of the best films I've seen in years for the spectacle and pulling off a complex plot very well.

While in many science fiction movies I get easily annoyed about the scientific inveteracies and just plainly wrong depictions of physics, in this movie I was entirely satisfied. I read somewhere that the director of the movie had a real scientist advise him on many matters of the story and filming and they even used real formulas to calculate some of the special effects and visuals in the movie (the black hole sphere for example). The story of the movie is maybe not everyones cup of tea, but I can't give any negative points there, it was still good enough. It is worth to watch that movie in cinema. Expand

Anne Hathaway can look good without makeup and uses her eyes to act. I didn't know where Jessica C. came in, but once she appeared, another great performance for her career. This is also a great movie for scientist and astronaut want-to-bees, although some of what I learned will still need to be explained to me. The ending won't be liked by everyone, but it suits the theories that this movie posed until it reached the conclusion. We really don't know much about anything but our world, and even then, we still don't know our world completely (volcanoes, hurricanes, center of the earth, etc.) Extremely educational in a very entertaining manner. The director used his imagination well! Expand

Christopher Nolan once again excels himself as a filmmaker and this is arguably his most ambitious work to date. Personally I thought the spectacle of Interstellar evoked the same sense of scale and wonder only previously achieved by Stanley Kubrick in '2001: A Space Odyssey'. Matthew McConaughey gives a solid performance and he carries the film effortlessly. He perfectly balances portraying both a hero you can root for and a Father you can relate to. And his relationship with his on screen daughter Mackenzie Foy is both touching and incredibly human. Anne Hathaway & Jessica Chastain are strong also and Michael Caine, David Gyasi & Casey Affleck are worthy mentions in supporting roles. There's another surprising addition also who's name I won't reveal. When their face popped up I was completely surprised. Visually it's jaw dropping and the cinematography truly captures the enormity of this film. And once again Hans Zimmer's score is absolutely stunning and it's just as integral as the visuals when creating the cinematic experience. However there are undeniable flaws and many would argue that the ending feels like a bow that's been too neatly tied. As a piece of filmmaking it feels like a battle of ambition versus logic. But as a cinematic experience it truly overwhelmed me and I'm intrigued and excited to see what direction Christopher Nolan's filmmaking career takes next. Expand

Christopher Nolan's science-theory space adventure epic Interstellar takes the auteur's brand of epic to a whole new level. An ambitious marriage of astrophysics (thanks to Producer Kip Thorne) & just the right amount of wonder, this might just be Nolan's Magnum Opus. Featuring his trademark mind-bending twists & turns, time & time again he keeps the similar tricks feeling fresh because he never pigeonholes himself into the same genre & subject matter.
There certainly must be something to his "one project at a time" philosophy. With it he has established himself as the most consistent blockbuster filmmaker in Hollywood, & the studios trust him enough to let him develop original films with enormous budgets. In the Hollywood climate of adaptations & brand building, Nolan is an anomaly. He also has the respect of his colleagues. Just a few of the filmmakers who have come forward to endorse Interstellar include Paul Thomas Anderson, Edgar Wright, & Quentin Tarantino. Undeniably, part of their endorsement is because of the love of film cinema that they share with Nolan. He filmed Interstellar entirely with 35mm and 70mm IMAX cameras, & consistently rejects the idea of switching to digital cameras, whilst the studios & production companies have long ago made up there minds. But Nolan uses his leverage to help keep celluloid alive in the industry. Interstellar was released only into theaters that could still project film two to three days before any digital theater.
Nolan clearly has an undying love for what cinema stands for, & Interstellar is his most astounding example of this yet. This time he has used the trust he's gained to truly outdo himself. Whether it's presenting complex scientific & theoretical concepts in the story or strapping an IMAX camera to the front of a Learjet, Interstellar pushes all of the limits. Nolan has crafted a timely, thoughtful, & visually brilliant film that is arguably his most cerebral & undoubtedly his most emotional. This will come as a welcome surprise to those that have long accused Nolan's films of being emotionally cold. Such is not the case here.
At the heart of the film is a father-daughter story that had me emotionally invested almost as quickly as Pixar's Up. The beating heart of the emotions lie in standout performances across the board; the genuine portrayals & intimate characterizations ground the entire film with necessary sentiment & well timed humor. Fueling the carefully crafted visuals & emotions is Hans Zimmer's beautiful, visceral, & emotive score. As promised, Zimmer abandoned many of the techniques he has used, & been lampooned for, in his past collaborations with Nolan, to a much fresher & sublime effect.
Interstellar is ultimately a film that revels in the simple idea that we are here, & how amazing it is that we have the ability to wonder, contemplate, & actually understand the way the cosmos works. The film begs to question mankind's level of investment in it's own ingenuity & ability to pioneer. Unlike Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, which focuses on the frailty of humanity & lacks any form of sentimentality, Interstellar puts its full faith in mankind & harvests many meaningful thoughts about humanity's role on earth & among the cosmos.
The film is personal to me because in the year leading up to it, I have been striving to become more scientifically literate & environmentally conscious through such means as Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey. Just as in a socially cognizant society, there is no room for anti-intellectualism or ignorance in the world of Interstellar. Perhaps the greatest role this film could play is in promoting science consciousness & curiosity among audiences that could hopefully bleed through into society as a whole. That may be dreaming big, but the reality of humanities current situation certainly didn't go unnoticed by anyone involved with the production of Interstellar, nor should it the viewer.
It may be a work of fiction, but the environmental apocalypse scenario presented in the film is no less feasible & frightening in the real world than it is in the film’s plot; undeniably more so. Sure Interstellar takes a few creative liberties, especially towards the end, but it gets a vast majority of the science correct, & plays joyfully in the sandbox of theoretical possibility.
It's very hard for anyone to walk away from this film questioning the legitimacy of the events that take place in the film, especially if you are fan of other fantastical Hollywood films. Just the mere fact that the film is largely based off of Newton's laws of physics & Einstein's laws of relativity should be impressive. Alas, at 2 hours & 49 minutes chocked full of complex concepts, there are certainly those who may check out at a certain point. But they would be remiss to not feel the impact of the finale. For any serious moviegoer/science enthusiast, Interstellar is a noble achievement & spiritual experience.

It's incredible the surprises that Chris can gave us and as always it is absolutely impossible to say the ending for every movie he mades. Such a petty that the Academy do not recognize Sci-Fy films beyond the technical awards. Best Picture of 2014 without doubt!

CONS: VERY long (almost 3 hours), too much "set-up" before they got things into space, Anne Hathaway was the most annoying and unlikable I've ever seen (and I've liked her in other movies - so I'm not a hater), volume increase at certain points was excruciating and cloying, and lastly, a bit too much emphasis on the "love saves all" idea (blech!) but maybe that's just me. . .

SUMMARY: Enjoyable, felt new, worth seeing just for McConaughey; a solid 8.

Hans Zimmer's overpowering music sometimes gets in the way and some of the story clichés dilute the potential majesty of the voyage.

Interstellar is a 3 hour long Sci-Fi/Action/Drama directed by Christopher Nolan staring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway. The acting from the main cast was amazing, everyone felt like they had a strong connection. I found this movie extremely imaginative and eye opening, It covers some subjects few to no movies have ever cover before. The base of the story without giving away to much is Earth is unable to produce enough food and Humans are forced to explore for other planets.Even with a run time of 3 hours Nolan does a great job at delivering those emotional gut punches and breath taking scenes that pull you right back in. The run time can feel a bit long and I do feel like Nolan could have shaved off a few minuets. Sadly there was a few plot holes as well, almost like Nolan was piecing it together near the end and makes the last few minutes seem detached from the rest of the film.
Those minor gripes aside, Interstellar is a phenomenal film that showcases amazing CGI and practical effects to bring you truly immersive experience. A movie like this is best experienced for yourself and will be even more enjoyable if you can walk into this movie not seeing any trailers.

This is one of the best films I've seen in 2014 and will keep me thinking for awhile.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sci Fi fan here, never heard of the director, dont care etc. I watch movies.

I really liked Interstellar. If you like a good, real science fiction story, then this is the one to see. If you are a Dad with a daughter or 3 and you like science fiction then you really have to see this.

I'm sorry but I have to nerd rant, so a semi spoiler is below.

Some scientist can outmatch a former fighter and test pilot really? I mean he's matt daemon, got it - but there is no way a test pilot would have just stood there after some dude rips off his comms transmitter. AND THEN said dude, who is some scientist would no way beat the crap out of a test pilot.

That's my only complaint.

Despite an expanded category than now could have 10 nominations to account for big blockbusters like this, one of the best pictures of the year was not among them. Why? Interstellar is a great movie. It is the reason we go to watch movies. It isn't some popcorn flick you go watch to kill time on the weekends, it is a deep, epic space that you want to see opening night and it is that good. It has elements from everything, from the epic special affects and feel of space of Gravity, to a strong and heartfelt love story of a man and his daughter. It missed on some stuff, sure, some of the dialogue wasn't perfect and it wasn't as full of an ending as it could have been, but it did something very movies did nowadays, it aimed huge. It might not have quite measured up to its massive expectations, but it tried and you could feel it in an epic way you'll never get from a marvel movie, or even an Indie. This was a great movie, and this is how big blockbusters should be made. With passion and talent unmatched, Christopher Nolan has made something incredible. A classic. Expand

The love in this movie felt genuine, not a mere Hollywood ingredient. Normally a movie about escaping the Earth that we have destroyed would make me sigh at the unrealism of such a vision, but that difficulty was acknowledged gracefully before the movie soared off into its exuberant flight. As in life, nothing is one dimensional, nothing is simply distant or simply close, nothing is done and dealt with. The "bad guy" is just a regular flawed man who unwittingly helps more than he ever could by being a good guy; love animates the characters' actions even when it is twisted. This is a deep and deeply moving movie that carries itself with great grace. Where it has to borrow it does so respectfully; where it has to bend realism it does so with narrative elegance and an eye on the deeper things. I'd say it's of the best science fiction movies there is. Expand

I was simultaneously disturbed and enthralled by the entire thing. The simplicity of the early scenes made the movie that much better because you could feel that some serious stuff was going to happen later on and Christopher Nolan was just teasing you with some early run of the mill exposition. That being said, the story line was pretty horrendous. The movie was 3 hours long, but it felt unbelievably rushed. An epic story like this should have been a ten hour affair, seriously. It needs that much time in order to develop properly since the scale is so large and the story so dense. The transition between the exposition and the rising action was particularly awful. The way they present the 'premise' of the mission was down right bad. The movie just didn't flow like it should have, and there were lots of mistakes in the script. Some of the dialogue between the astronauts is also really terrible. They speak in astronomy buzz words that excited teenagers might use in a intro to space high school class. But despite the story, Its an amazing movie which deserves to be watched many times in order to experience the sheer awe of the special effects. But beware, because the special effects are actually pretty frightening at points! Expand

Great performances throughout - though better diction by the actors would not have hurt. But whichever way you cut it, this is a serious movie, portraying humanity facing adversity in ways that are both moving and artistic. Considerably better than any of the Batman movies. And it gets an extra mark for the special effects - which thankfully, do not overwhelm the movie. Somehow they simultaneously become both achingly beautiful, and austere at the same time - which is a major achievement in today's over-done blockbusters. Expand

Interstellar, although far from the comparisons with 2001: A SpaceThe storm of love and hate Interstellar has gotten since its release, and the hype it generated before it tells more about the stubborn fanbase Nolan has than his films. Interstellar, although far from the comparisons with 2001: A Space Odyssey, shares with the Kubrick movie the feeling that the story is not really about space.

People have complained about plot holes. There are some, pretty clearly, and a physicist would tell you those plot holes make the movie completely unbelievable, but some of the theories presented in Interstellar have no reason not to be possible. Anyway, this is not Discovery Channel, so we should just enjoy what we see and not dig much further away from the screen.

Matthew McConaughey really has hit a positive streak this last couple of years, and his acting here is perfectly on pitch, together with Jessica Chastain's. Unfortunately I can't say the same for Anne Hathaway, or Matt Damon. Or Wes Bentley.

The effects have some weird flaws that only appear sometimes during the movie, in certain scenes - the CGI there looks from 20 years ago, but then goes back to modern-looking in the next scene. The cinematography is not spectacular like it could have been, especially since the majority of the movie takes place either inside the spaceship or on Earth, so that wouldn't have been so expensive to achieve.

All in all, a very interesting plot (if you forget about the actual science) and an excellent performance by McConaughey, but on the technical side it falls a bit short. And by the way, I cannot understand for the world why the Oscars snub this while last year Gravity (a much dimmer, more ridiculous, and essentially uglier movie) managed to win 7. Maybe Nolan doesn't deserve Best Director, and Interstellar doesn't deserve Best Picture, but this movie is light years ahead of Gravity - pun intended.

Every time you get excited about the physics and quantum mechanics in the movie, its pushed in the background.

Its a little hard to describe without spoiling anything, but all i can say is, don't expect a sci-fi movie, expect something else and be surprised by the space you get to see.

As a side note, if this was Nolan's vision about how other plants could look like, i really hope he is wrong..

Following from his previous film 'The Dark Knight Rises', Nolans latest project is about finding another planet and galaxy that can sustain life, as earth is dying. I believed it needed more detail on why/how the earth is dying, it gives you some information, but not enough to be justifiable for me personally. The plot and dialog is interesting, with some great moments, but i reckon dragged on a bit too long than it needed to be. The plot is also rather complex than it needed to be, with it being difficult to follow at times, but it did have a lot of interesting ideas. Matthew MoConaughey had an absolute great performance, with also some great acting from Anna Hathaway and Mackenzie Foy. This is a ambitious project, and while Nolan did have a lot of great ideas and did really well with the movie, the execution of it wasn't perfect, the ideas were there but struggled to put it on the big screen. Overall this is another fantastic Christopher Nolan and a must watch. Expand

That’s not to say Interstellar is a bad film, oh god no, for the amount you pay to go and get a cinema ticket you could do a lot worse right now.

It's mainly suffers due to a few of the usual Nolan tropes and some fairly big plot holes and story elements that aren’t explained too well and the fact that several shots look like they were ripped directly from 2001 a space odyssey

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a new '10 Point Scale' rating system based on 10 important aspects of a film which is crucial for a fair assessment. It's a structured way to rate films rather than just randomly putting in a number. And, the first film to be rated on this is the film 'Interstellar' which gets an overall rating 7/10 according to the format.

1) Direction: 6/10

Direction is all about having control over your audience i.e. the control to guide them to your vision. It’s a summation of the essential skillsets to engage and disengage your viewers. The success of a film is totally dependent on how a director exerts control. In Interstellar, it seems to be in control in parts but every now and then things go out of hand. There are some great build ups and every time we expect it to blossom into something it falls flat on its face. Some of the B-plots which starts to build up nicely are just left unattended at the end. The plot involving Cooper’s son and his family is a glaring example of the same and if it’s not so important they why build it up in the first case. There isn’t even a note of conclusion or ambiguity in there. At the end, Nolan seems to have taken the easy way out by making his audience happy with an end they’re satisfied with. But isn’t it going against the whole idea of control when you let your audience decide the outcome rather than you doing it as the director?

2) Philosophy/Vision/Idea/Subtext/Metaphors/Easter Eggs: 4/10

Okay, we get it ‘love is beyond time or dimension’. But is there any way you can make it a little more subtle? And, if you call this an idea or a philosophy then how is it different to millions of other films about love? Mr. Nolan you need to think more rather than just quote lines from Dylan Thomas poetry book for an intellectual effect.

3) Does it move you emotionally? 9/10

Yes it moves you emotionally and it has been done well. Christopher Nolan has successfully upped the emotional stakes in this film. There was a backlash in Inception for low emotional stake and he’s definitely worked on this. It shows in the film. These scenes are intense whether it’s nail biting action or a sad scene which chokes your throat.

4) Unity: 6/10

By unity it means if the film is uniform with recurring motifs and parallelism, or not. Interstellar, unfortunately is low on a uniform experience scale even though there are some recurring themes of love. But it’s not consistent enough in action because Nolan brings in some heavy handed scientific theories to stitch it and nobody gets it.

5) Is it Poetic (Realistic/Formative)? 5/10

Adding a line from one of the greatest poets doesn’t necessarily make the film poetic. Poetry is derived from the experience of the film combined with the ideas and philosophy hidden as a subtext. So, is this a space film about love just to show that love’s beyond time and space? Seriously! Mr. Nolan, getting it scientifically correct doesn’t mean that it’s realistic enough, forget it being poetic.

6) Screenplay/Writing: 4/10

It is perhaps the worst screenplay by the Nolans. First, character motivations are plain stupid for most for e.g. nobody knows what Cooper’s son or Dr. Mann are motivated by and why do they act in a negative way. By ‘nobody knows’ it don’t mean that facts weren’t mentioned in the film; rather it’s a thing about developing characters where it never picks up. You don’t relate to the characters, especially Dr. Mann. Secondly, the plots are all over the place and it adds to confusion rather than creating a unified experience. Also, it’s clear that Nolan tried his best to avoid an ending in disunity and in the process rips this film of its credibility or thought. Plot twists don’t come out organically and it seems forced. Some of the dialogues are decent involving the computer but rest remains pedestrian.

7) Acting: 9/10

Acting is great in this film and it helps create those intense scenes. Mcconaughey's good but not sure if it’s an Oscar winning performance.

8) Editing: 9/10

Editing is slick and it helps create those moments you’ll remember this film for. The parallel action of the rotating space craft with the drama in earth is worth noting. It had the audience holding on to their seats tight. Also, the pace slows down very effectively to heighten the emotional scenes.

9) Cinematography: 9/10

Cinematography is great and almost everyone loved the use of different aspect ratios for different scenes; not sure what purpose was?. The overall cinematography is great and it does give you the feel of 2001 experience at times.

10) Sound: 9/10

Great sound always helps in creating a great experience. The dialogue, sound effects were spot on and music in Nolan films is always great.

To conclude, this film is a great effort but it required that little bit of ‘thought’ and ‘time’ to grow in the writing stage but it comes out underdeveloped much like Caesarian.

Interstellar is considered one of the best science fiction movies even if it's not that good for many people and i am one of them .
i am going to try to illustrate and criticize what i didn't like about the movie and how it could be better .
Interstellar is considered one of the best science fiction movies even if it's not that good for many people and i am one of them .
i am going to try to illustrate and criticize what i didn't like about the movie and how it could be better .
Most of people who didn't like the movie because they really didn't understand it and what happens through the movie ,it needed some how some more illustrations for why would this happening since most of the people are unfamiliar with modern physics and this film depended a lot on so many physical concepts like special and general relativity and the singularity and the worm hole concept and the string theory and a lot of quantum physics .
But actually those who are familiar with physics also didn't find it very good like me.
first of all most of the physics in the film are made in the 20th century and this movie is supposed to be in the future and they still don't depend on any of what was discovered even in the 21th century nothing that was really new , but it has it's advantages as not to make some wrong viewing for it so it was OK, the second thing is that most of what happened in the movie is a very well known examples for special relativity so most of those who read about it before know what will happen very well in every situation they are going to do, so it loses its complexity and weirdness .which make it a very boring movie it will be like watching a documentary about special relativity.
So now let's go for the explanation of the movie the movie's story is very simple actually but Nolan combined it with other complex and unfamiliar concepts for people.
In the beginning of the movie they were showing how the earth in the future became a horrible place that no one will be able to live in it and scientists lost hope in earth so they are trying to find another planet to leave on and that's was by finding the air plane which was hacked by Matthew McConaughey to get the information of the astronauts who were sent to find a new home on other planet and they will never come back, and after that they find information in to murphy's room which was done by gravity to give them the code to find the space center and here's some how there is some contradictions in the following event that after the space center offering him to go as a pilot and then there was a message sent to tell him to stay and not to go( i will explain why there's a contradiction at the end).
first there were some message sent for them to tell them that there is a life on one of the planets by another crew so they went there the only unclear part until this moment was the wormhole part and why it's like that and it was explained in the movie but in incorrect way that they said it's in 3D while the space is in 2D i don't know how even they said this, of course this is theoretical concept only and it's not proved y et but it's okay actually the space is in 3D but since it's very wide we consider it as 2D space but in the worm hole the space takes some sort of cylindrical shape which make you see the space very near to you that seems to be 3D of space as they said since the space is like a ball so it's like a cylinder that connects the two ends for the ball.
then when they went for the planets where there's huge wave actually i don't know how they didn't know about this with all of the technology they are having it's clear that as the gravity increases the tides will increase and the gravity increases since they are near to a black hole which have a very high gravity tends to infinity and due to this the high tides of water waves happen on this planet and here comes Einstein's special relativity to take place and it's considered to be the most important physical concept in this movie it's about time dilation actually and how the time changes from system to system according to their speed relative to the speed of light so as the system goes faster the time began to go slower in this system that's why when they were back to the ship they found their partner older by so many years.
I think that the rest of the film until before he goes in the black hole is understandable .
actually at the part of the black holes a lot of people were fooled to think that this is actually what McConaughey saw in the black hole of course not since when he is in the black hole he moves in a very high speed equals to or may be greater than the speed of light so of course he won't be able to see any since he is moving with the speed of light so how he will see any thing it's just a view of what around him not the light actually.
After going through the black hole there is nothing to deal with science at all, all of this was Nolan's imagination to go in the fifth dimension OK we can say that if you exceeded the speed of light you will be in the fifth dimension and you will see the other four dimensions and control them of course you will see every single moment in time as a picture not a video because the time has no effect

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of, if not the best movie I have seen in 2014. I don't mind that they are quite liberal with their scientific explanations. Who cares? It is not meant to be ralistic, it is meant to be entertaining and hell it was.
The only thing that was too hollywood was the cheesy "love travels time and space"-thing. The movie would have worked completely without this pseudo deep message. Anyway, it was a great movie and recommand to anyone who enjoys scifi drama.
If you are looking for a scientifically accurate documentation like space movie, you are wrong here.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story was very good, it reminded me of the classic sci-fi novels where time-dilation is used as plot driver. I had to subtract some points for the soundtrack though. It literally drove me out of the theatre about 3 quarters through the movie. Expand

For "Interstellar", Christopher Nolan had inspiration on Stanley Kubrick's "2001 - A Space Odyssey", and gat's it just okay. A human story about science, relationships and love. Nolan mix all these three ingredients and gets "Interstellar".For "Interstellar", Christopher Nolan had inspiration on Stanley Kubrick's "2001 - A Space Odyssey", and gat's it just okay. A human story about science, relationships and love. Nolan mix all these three ingredients and gets "Interstellar". It's beautiful, superb and extremely realistic. All those years of research about gravity, worm holes and black holes were worth it. The second time you watch this movie, it will be better then the first one. Enjoy the ride. Expand
