This movie is absolutelyI havn't been this blown away by a movie since The Dark Knight Rises, the prvious film by master Christopher Nolan. I must say I was a little concerned after seeing the mixed reviews, but I did not need to be. This movie is absolutely fantastic. I heard criticism that it's too confusing and won't be accessable to a wider audience. I'm certainly no genius and I was never confused by the science talk. If I was to criticize the film I will say that it is does get a bit convoluted, and if it ended about ten minutes earlier it would of flowed a little more. That's all the negatives. This film is absolutely stunning, unique, original, mesmerizing, and absolutely awe-inspiring. This film will absolutely go down along side 2001 and Blade Runner as one of the great science fiction films. Oh and Tars and Case are freaking awesome. Not to spoil anything but there are sequences in this film that rival the Stargate sequence in 2001 as some of the greatest scenes in science fiction, if not film in general. Expand

I am not a Nolanite. Maybe I'm an anti-Nolanite. I have nothing but contempt for movies about comic book superheroes. I hated Inception. I went into this movie with enough baggage to get me thrown off a plane.

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

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

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

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

Even though Matt Damon is an unnecessary **** in it, the good outweighs the bad by a factor of a million.

I have grown to have great confidence in Christopher NolanInterstellar, taking sci-fi by the throat and giving us something we have never seen before and doubtfully ever will again. I followed this movie since I knew it was in production. I have grown to have great confidence in Christopher Nolan and his abilities as a director, and as a writer, not to mention his brother who helped him with this one. Quite ambitious to make a movie about a worm hole, even more so that the human race depends on what is on the other end for survival. My mind was blown, such a large scale with very rich and deep emotion for each character. The grandeur and the detail supersedes anything I've ever seen before. Just when you think this movie is a little too tame, it flips you over. Isn't as structurally sound as some of his others, but this is flat out incredible. Only the best of the best can take these components and make a movie out of it. And not just a movie, a great movie. Worth a watch. Expand

Scientific accuracy for visualization of black hole and wormhole is undoubtedly realistic since there is an astrophysicist working as film assistant. Hard science had been poured into the film so much that it is hard for normal audience to really 100% understand the scientific theory behind the plot. Some of them were hiding in just few words like Quantum entanglement that the robot try to use to establish communication between inside and out side of the black hole.
To summarize, this film really catch my eyes at first glance and finally grab my heart at last.

It presents an ambitious plot and makes strong attempts at presenting the very real challenges of interstellar travel and colonization, especially those related to relativity and distance. I honestly have a hard time telling good acting from great acting, so I'll say the acting is good enough for me to not have to suspend disbelief. The dialogue is interesting and the plot is compelling. The ending is a tad...unbelievable...but the rest of the movie is so good and so interesting that I'm forgiving the silly ending and pronouncing this a great watch. It's not for everyone, but if you liked The Prestige and Inception, you will like this movie. A true milestone in science fiction filmography that I found even more fascinating than the Dark Knight.

A film with incredible imagination, Interstellar weaves reductive iterations of themes like exploration, love and time together so cohesively that the audience is challenged to see them each with new wonder.

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

The movie is visually stunning and is very emotional at times as it connects to parenting of children and exploration of new discoveries. All the characters show great performances especially Mathew giving yet another outstanding performance. People are complaining about the ending of the movie, the science behind it, and its overall complex understanding, that's their opinion. but its ending shows something new and original in the sci-fi genre making you think and think after you see the movie. Overall the movie is a must have experience that takes new heights and embarks on a wild journey that's unforgettable with its visually aspect and emotional story. Another great addition to the movie is the superb music composed by Hanz Zimmer, it gives the movie an extra layer of creepiness and excitement. This is not a movie for casual people wanting a simple action movie. This is a must watch! Expand

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' is a multi-faceted, roller-coaster ride of a film. It has layers upon layers of complex ideas, translated into a dramatic storyline that almost all people can enjoy and follow.

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.

You never saw in any Hollywood movie the accuracy with which the science is shown. There are so many breathtaking moments that render you speechless. But besides the complex science, you get the timeless bond of a father and his daughter. But how much you'll understand some of the key scientific ideas presented in the movie depends on your knowledge of basic and not-so-basic physics, which Nolan tried to make simpler to wider audiences... The film is also a reminder about how cruel can time be.. Hans Zimmer's music was different from what we've heard before. This movie is a director's movie. It's Nolan's yet another masterpiece. But McConaughey and Chastain were so awesome at their roles that they outshine all the scientific stuff, so was Hathaway and Caine. For what he has made out of his character of a father and an engineer/pilot McConaughey deserves a Oscar nomination. Expand

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.

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.

MIND BLOWN!

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.

This is truly and an amazing movie directed by a really good Director.

Interstellar has proved to be one of the best films of this year with outstanding visual effects and efforts. First of all I would like to star by breaking up this movie in sections.

The movie is amazingly directed since Christopher Nolan (one of the best out there) has created a terrific environment in which you really feel what the characters are feeling. He is also able to show his style by making the Visual Effects part of the environment. Finally he is able to pursue and make his actors look amazing in the screen.

The second thing about this movie is Matthew McConaughey performance his is terrific as he was in "Dallas Buyers Club" he will be definitely nominated for an Oscar. What makes he's performance so perfect is he's relationship with he's dougther "Murph" portrayed by Mackenzie Foy an actress that is 14 years old that is showing a lot of potential and will be a young actress to watch. Anne Hathaway it is also part of this film adding up her amazing talent.

One of the flaws of this movie is the story since sometimes it fells weak since sometimes its boring and quite complicated to understand since physics takes a great role in the movie. Also the ending should had been cut 10 minutes before.

Although it has some problems it has been one of the best films of the year, with amazing visual effects and great directed movie and an amazing performance by Matthew McConaughey. This movie is a great time to go and watch in IMAX theaters and it will defiantly be an Oscar movie contendent. Since this movie is a 10 out of 10.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

I have to admit right off the top, I love movies that entertain, make you think, feed you stuff that expands your awareness and generally stimulates much that has not before been stimulated.
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!

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. From now on, The Dark Knight, Inception, and Intersteller are my 3 favourite Nolan movie. 10/10 Expand

The science has been, for the most part, back up by scientists. Neil DeGrasse Tyson compliment the movie and he said he enjoyed it greatly.

The humor is brief but truly sits with you for awhile and the laughs you have are genuine. From is time on Earth to is time in Space, it's a ride I didn't want to get off.

The first planet was the most unique take on a planets ocean system that I've ever seen be done in a movie. Remembering that this planet was near a blackhole with massive gravity only led me more towards the amazing things that were happening on it.

The special guest actor was fantastic, and I won't spoil anything, but you have never hated a man and ever felt more for a man in your entire life.

The second planet was impressive as well, but we didn't get to experience it as much as we did the first planet. It was still memorable. I plan on seeing this movie many more times before it's out of the theater, I love it that much.

This movie gets very emotional at times where the main guy, Coop, must leave his daughter behind. There are two story lines going on, with one being the most focus. Even I, a man that likes to think he doesn't cry often, teared of every time they did.

The final scene involving Coop with someone very special, was the most emotional part of the entire movie for me, I thought I was going to break down.

10/10 will see again.

I like to think of myself as an artistically minded person, and that is why the movie appealed so much to me. This movie actually reminded me a lot of 2013’s " Gravity". It looked stunning and sold the spatial aspect, but had a much more involved story. This is easily one of the most beautiful pieces of cinema i have ever seen. Expand

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

Unlike the majority of so-called "sci-fi" movies, this one is for real: science is a real ingredient, rather than a hand-waving, magic plot device like in so many superhero or alien monster movies.

You keep asking yourself if he will die, so when you least expect you are asking yourself if he is going to survive, and it will repeat 'till the end of the movie. You just don't know what will happen all movie. You laugh, you cry, you get tense. Joseph Cooper is not one of these protagonists who we have 100% sure that he will win or survive. And that is what makes the movie so good. When you think you know what will happen next, you get surprised... and it happens all the movie. The soundtrack just makes you feel like you're part of the movie. This movie is the best sci-fi i've seen in years. Expand

This is Nolan's best work.

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.

I feel this is a masterpiece and one of the best science fiction movies ever made. I was expecting something turgid and nonsensical reading some of the reviews beforehand. I'm so glad they were wrong.

How this film didn't score twice as highly as the overrated thrill ride of Gravity I will never know! The plot and subtext of Gravity could be written on a beer mat. Intestellar is weight sci fi tome. An ode to wonder, time and love. Don't listen to the ridiculous berks who slate this film. I can only assume Nolan has reached the point of saturation where it's become fashionable to hate him.

This film has it all - the ambition to show other worlds in a way we've never seen before, womholes, massive black holes, mile high tidal waves, dazzlin space vistas, and at the centre amazing performances by all the actors involved, especially McCaugnehey. It's also a film that means something, with a a complex and deep message about the human instinct for survival, ingenuity and the current threat to our planet. Oh and some of the best onscreen robots since the Star Wars droids.

I can understand that some people who know nothing about physics, or who don't want to think and want answers on a plate might not like this film. It's closest to 2001 but in my opinion much better. Don't expect Guardians of the Galaxy. If you like serious sci-fi. philosophical films that will linger with you, or have ever dreamt of the stars, you must see this film. I'm seeing it again tomorrow.

The round colony design concept was seen in the japanese anime series Gundam starting more than 10 years ago.

All in all the best Sci-fi film I have ever seen. There are too few sci-fi these days let alone decent ones.

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!

Excelente direção, efeitos especiais, trilha sonora, fotografia, roteiro... filme fechado 100%, com uma história bem envolvente e com um ritmo muito bom que te faz pensar em várias situações que são apresentadas no decorrer do filme. Explorar alguns dos conceitos mais "hardcores" da ficção científica como viagens espaciais interestelares, viagem no tempo, buraco de minhoca (espacial) e etc. As referências e homenagens a '2001' ficam bem claras e as comparações, em várias passagens, são inevitáveis. Entretanto, não se trata de uma cópia barata e sim de um grande filme com a mesma linha do '2001'. Com certeza não é o tipo de filme que vai agradar a todos, entretanto, se você é fã de ficção científica, se você assim como eu considera '2001: Uma Odisseia no Espaço' um dos melhores filmes da história do cinema, ou se você simplesmente gosta de apreciar uma grande produção, um excelente filme muito bem feito, eu indico 100% esse filme!!! Se não o melhor, com certeza, um dos melhores filmes de 2014!! Expand

Christopher and Jonathan Nolan gave us a very original script combined with perfect visual effects and excellent performances by everyone in that film. And Hans is not behind, he developed an Oscar deserving score that fits perfect for each great scene.
The synopsis is nothing compared with the film, here Chris takes our hand and take us into an unforgettable trip to discover what's beyond us together with the characters. 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!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I, personally, found this movie breathtaking. I will not try to impress anyone with Webster's Dictionary cited words, unlike many of these reviews. This movie was thoroughly thought out and must have taken a great deal of creativity and research. A large deal of the negative reviews for this movie are pointing out scientific "inaccuracies". I can understand how someone who strongly believes in a certain theory may dislike the claims this movie, but those claims are what make this movie wonderful. Space is impossible to truly comprehend, No human has ever been through a wormhole, nor inside a black hole therefore they cannot judge Nolan's theories of these things for they can only attempt to dispel them with theories of their own.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoilers: This is one of the best films I've ever seen. Intelligent, mind expanding, meaningful, with a lot to say about the human condition. IMO a better film that 2001, primarily to the fact that it gives you an emotional investment in everything you see.

I feel however compelled to answer the people who sneer that this film posits love as a physical dimension, Anne Hatthaway's character puts forward this desperate argument when she is clutching at straws to convince her fellow astronauts to rescue her partner. She is rationalising her emotional need in a way that she hopes will convince the other scientists, and they overrule her because it is quite clear she is acting irrationally - this is not spelled out for the audience - but you should not confuse the words of a character for reality. The film does not say that love is another (physical) dimension - the character does!

Secondly, the idea that it flawed because the world is save by love crossing dimensions is also incorrect - this is what is known as a metaphor! No "force of love" crosses the dimension. The father is talking about the human condition and meaning. People of a rationalistic and non-poetic disposition seem unable to grasp this and I've heard it said many times. If love saves the universe - it's because of the attachment (the bond) that he had with his daughter that makes her go back and try and solve the puzzle of the gravity anomaly (the "aliens" know this), she senses her father has something to do with it - it makes the anomaly meaningful to her. There is nothing supernatural about it, it's psychology and the parent / child bond. So perhaps love does save the day - but miraculously it is done in a plausible way.
