This is a movie that tugs at the soul, as you watch a father try to do all he can to save his daughter, and also humanity, from their inevitable demise on Earth. There are so many fascinating concepts of science in this movie, you will have NO idea what to expect next.

There is a pretty hefty plothole that keeps this from a 10, but considering the great acting and the story was extremely interesting I don't want to be what defines the movie.

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.

This movie was fantastic. I was on the fence about it until I read what Neil DeGrasse Tyson had to say about the Scientific elements, and overwhelmingly they got things right.
Without spoiling anything they explore some unknowns, so that is where they leave science behind and go more into fantasy.
The sound was very loud in a few places and while I was plugging my ears I wondered about the chances of getting hearing damage from watching the film.
This was for sure the best movie I saw in 2014, if not the last few years and I would recommend it to all of my friends.
This is a movie that I would be willing to pay ticket price again to watch once more.

Yeah, it's damn good. It's not as good as Memento or the Dark Knight, but just being on this space adventure makes up for that. Despite some plot holes, the movie stands up and is a must see.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

One of those few blockbusters that still manage to be intelligent, have depth and be original (in this world full of sequels and prequels). So glad that a film like this one can still blow at the box office. The almost three hours feel like one and a half and is one of the biggest cinematic experiences of the last few years and probably the best space film ever made.

The story and its ambition, the score (Hans Zimmer once again), the visuals, the emotional content, the acting... everything! Yes Matthew and also Anne and Jessica Chastain deliver better performances than some of the ones nominated for an oscar this year.
It is a pleasure to know that people like director C. Nolan still exist and people are still willing to support it massively in a world where Transformers, Fast and Furious and Avengers can make so much money. Congrats to everybody. I could barely sleep the night I saw it because of how it made my imagination fly and how fascinated I was. Many jaw-dropping moments too. A 9.5 out of 10 from me.

I just didn't find it as perfect as the first time I watched it. The acting is all Oscar worthy. The great cast performs all of the deeply emotional moments with absolute perfection. You may definitely cry. This is also one of the most visually stunning movies ever made, containing breathtaking sequences of pure awe and wonder, the best of which is a cerebral and heartbreaking trip into a black hole near the end, but I'm not going to spoil anything for you. Upon my second viewing however, I realized that there could have been a couple more of these types of moments placed into certain parts of the film. The drama is all very well executed, but sometimes the movie does go a little too long without any action. But this is still a film that hits you on much deeper levels than any action scene ever could. Its ambition, imagination, and humanity are nearly unmatched. It's also one of the few blockbusters that actually ends on a high, make that extremely, high note. A sci-fi movie for the ages. Expand

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

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

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

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

He is currently the most ambitious directorEven with some of its flaws. Interstellar is an engaging work of sci-fi art. Christopher Nolan is usually known for such big and complex stories like "Inception" "The Prestige" and "Memento". He is currently the most ambitious director working today. Ambition can lie between being a great pro towards a film like this, or be a big con! The first time I saw it, it felt that the film was too ambitious in which it took over from the overall experience/pure enjoyment of the film. There was just too much to take in. But that's why the film is so watchable in my opinion. Christopher Nolan keeps you wanting more with a film like this. That's why the second time was a charm for me. I delved deeper into the film unlike the first and truly got an overall enjoyment out it. I love the space mission aspect of the film. I love the story behind this. I love the characters, especially Matthew McConaughay (Cooper). I love Zimmer's score. And I truly love Nolan's ambition! However Some characters felt completely under-used, like Cooper's son played by Casey Affleck. I love how they set up this character throughout the film, but I wish they could have used him more as a big character throughout the entire film. They just gloss over an interesting story element in which I think could have helped build the film especially for the theme of the movie. Also, Wes Bentley's character felt completely wasted and somewhat unneeded. Alongside that, the first 40 minutes of the film felt a little too slow to me. But once it gets into its space exploration, the film soars all the way up to its last 10 minutes (which I enjoyed more than most but still felt something missing). Other than that, I highly recommend this film for all film-lovers/film-goers! I know this review may sound a little too negative, but trust me, it's one hell of a ride that won't be soon forgotten! I give "Interstellar" and A! Expand

The acting is phenomenal and the story is gripping and incredibly interesting. The effects were amazing as everybody was expecting. It will definitely be divisive but I applaud Nolan for the originality and gall of the film. In a time where we have ~29 superhero movies planned to release in the next 6 years, we need more visionary people pushing the limits and giving us original screenplays and fresh ideas that not only entertain, but stimulate critical thinking.

This is exactly what interstellar did, for me at least. Not once did I find myself bored, I felt as though I actually experienced the journey with the characters and could even share their emotions from time to time. This is what movies are about for me. As I watched, I forgot about my own troubles and cares and embarked on an incredible journey with an amazing cast and a story that causes you to wonder what the future has in store for us, and what really is potentially out there in our infinite universe.

Interstellar is not without flaws, but it is definitely a movie that deserves to be seen and contemplated. The score by Hans Zimmer is amazing and truly adds to the experience. Don't rely on other people's opinions or form an opinion based on others thoughts before seeing it. Just go see it, and enjoy the bold and spectacular journey it is!

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

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *Note: My Analysis and the real 'Nolan'/movie explanations may diverge.
Abide with that. He is the monarch of all the **** flicks. :P

Interstellar: "Expect the Unexpected" should be the tagline of every Nolan movie. Same goes for this movie as well. Interstellar is a dazzling, striving, fascinating journey.

Interstellar is a smart blend of passions in a sci-fi movie. Nolan
always adds scarce emotions to all of his pictures which make me tear
up all the time, but this is his most sentiment betrothed movie for
sure. He has perfectly combined the bond between a dad and his
daughter. This movie proves that our love can truly surpass time and
space; that no matter how remote that special someone be, they will
always matter to our hearts against the cold milieu of survival.

Plot: The world is getting shattered by drought and famine, making it
unbearable for beings to endure. In the meantime, Cooper finds a
surreptitious NASA epicenter and goes out for a voyage to save the
world. A group of discovers must travel beyond our solar system in
search of another planet capable of Humankind. In the expedition, they
had to face a lot of footraces which coerce them to select between
their family and the future of the human race.

Now the movie goes quite clean till the first one and half hour. After
that, The Endurance crew gets to know the actual enigmas of this entire
trip.

1. The secret NASA center's Professor Brand has got two strategies of
saving the civilization. First, he promises Cooper that he will solve a
forward-thinking equation, which will help the NASA to take the Earth's
surviving populace into the space by launching a massive space station.
Second, if he fails in the solution, NASA has made pre-plans of reaping
a bank of fertilized human ova serving them to keep alive the humanity
after earth gets wholly devastated. The Endurance's job is to find the
flawless habitat for the subsistence of the embryos. They were to be
located in artificial wombs and carried to term. Of course, the crew
will devote the next 10-15 years taking care for a bunch of kids before
using the next set. The population bang would be exponential since the
next batch would be larger because there were more people available to
take care of them. Later we got to know that entire journey was a
swindle and Plan A was near to impossible. So plan B was the real plan.

2. Matt Demon [Dr. Mann]'s act was unforeseen. He proved that when you
are in a dying condition, the only thing you care about is you and your
family and nothing else.

The climax comes next. I personally believe that the movie should have
ended in a different way. The paradox they shown in the film and
Murph's apprehension of who "the ghost" was, to Matthew's realizing
what was going on, to that specific scenario in the black hole, to him
finding his daughter and the full Murphy station sequence. I would have
adored if Coop would have died entering the Black Hole. The earth would
have died out and Anne Hathaway and Edmunds start a new civilization. This would have left a cult ending, but Nolan always wants a twisted finale to all of his flicks. Nevertheless, the actual climax was nice as well. Apart from this the other departments were bang on, Heart touching acts, Superb Soundtrack, Wonderful DOP work, fabulous direction, etc. I felt that there was a problem with the sound-mix. The subtitles assisted well though. Anyways, I loved this much, much, much more than Gravity. I hope Interstellar gets plentiful Oscars this year like Gravity did. Must watch!

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. 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.

It boasts a cast who are all at the top of their respective A-games: Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain are stand-outs, Chastain especially. 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.

The plot is complex and confusing (in the good kind of way), and takes what could almost be called boring premises but given interesting scientific twists that make it a great watch! However, the "Mann" plot didn't feel right in a film full of wonder and intrigue, felt like what the last portion of sunshine was like with the reat of the film: not fully feeling comfortable between the rest of the story. Nevertheless, a great piece of cinema that flows nicely! Nolan brings out another stellar film (lol) and makes us even more excited for his next film! Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The plot holes I looked past, the dialogue was cheesy, but all in all this was one of the best movies I've seen this year. A serious 2001 vibe was felt throughout the theater, but it was different enough to be called its own. The only real gripe, which I CANNOT look past is the loud music during dialogue. REALLY? I mean, it's a fantastic soundtrack, but it's kind of hard to be in the moment when you can't even hear the characters' emotions!! The best example I can give *MAJOR **** SPOILER AHEAD* was when Dr. Brann (Brann? Brand? I don't **** know) died. the dialogue made by him was ACTUALLY IMPORTANT but INSANELY hard to hear due to the music. The creators said it was because they wanted to make the emotions clear not through dialogue, but through the music. Sensible, but STILL, as I've already said, I CAN'T FEEL EMPATHETIC WHEN I CAN'T HEAR WHAT I NEED TO BE EMPATHETIC ABOUT. That's the only gripe I have with this movie, other than a few obvious creative license uses like *SORT OF SPOILER AHEAD* someone surviving going through a black hole when they should have been crushed due to the gravity. In addition the CGI was STUPENDOUS. It really felt like it was actually filmed, not CGI'ed. On top of that, they hired a real astrophysicist to develop an engine to accurately represent a black hole or wormhole. That takes some serious dedication. All in all, if you haven't seen any other movie this year, see this one. 9/10. Expand

Rating: 9/10

Pros:
+This movie isn't one of those tearjerkers that manipulates your feelings. This movie could make you cry because it has a genuine heartfelt story. I probably cried five times during the movie or so.
+The performance from Matthew McConaughey is amazing and he really plays his role excellently.
+This deserves a separate bulletin because Jessica Chastain and Mackenzie Foy played the role as adult and young Murphy consistently and perfectly. They're my favorite actresses in this movie.
+The special effects is amazing and it felt really realistic as if I am in space with the characters in the movie.
+This is my first time watching a movie directed by Christopher Nolan and I can see why he is such a well-respected director. The directing in this movie is excellent.

Neutral:
.The scientific accuracy is quite convoluted for some people including myself. It seems like you need to have a much more clear understanding of science in order to get the movie's science. If this movie were used as a science lesson taught by a Science teacher, it would totally help.While its scientific accuracy is too convoluted for some people including myself, Interstellar is a film with a genuine heartfelt story, top-notch cast performances, amazing special effects and excellent directing from Christopher Nolan.

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.

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. 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!

Like all Nolan's movies, its strongest qualities are a uniquely thought-provoking and grand plot with a centeredInterstellar is a spectacular viscerally and emotionally powerful sci-fi movie-going experience that demands full immersion. 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.

The films story is set in a futuristic Earth, and our main protagonist is Copper, a former space pilot, now farmer and family man has to deal with the hardship of how Earth is becoming unstable to live in and he has to be sent to space to find a new home to save the excising humanity on a dying planet, but with that in mind he has to leave his family on Earth, especially his daughter Murph who since she's the youngest she is getting all emotional about her dad leaving, but what so awesome about this film is how Cooper s racing against time to get back to his kids because time will slow down for him while in space and there is a horror him missing his kids lives and they'll be getting older while he's still in space.

Casting was done really well and Matthew McConaughey is brilliant as Copper, he delivers in every single way for his role, and Jessica Chastain is amazing, I can just watch her and her alone in a film and I'd still be entertained, but there were a few characters I didn't have any interest in but even they had their moments. Christopher Nolen definitely has changed cinematic history with the amazing visuals, it's absolutely amazing of how far we can go in film making.

Interstellar is defiantly a must see film, if it's gone from your local cinema I'd defiantly recommend it on Blu-Ray because it's so good and I most certainly will, however it is a 3hr film but it's well worth it. If you go to see Interstellar, be prepared to not only see a great film but experience an awesome adventure.

It is an epic that transcends what audience members previously thought they could emotionally and physically feel on the big screen. The visuals were the best seen on screen since Gravity in 2013, Matthew McConaghey delivers one of the most emotionally gripping performances seen in recent years, and Hans Zimmer's score leaves the audience with the highest sense of adventure. 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. Overall, Interstellar is probably the most engrossing, jaw dropping movie I've ever seen. Expand

Yes the acting is superb, as is the script, sound track, effect and everything else with it but what is different with this film is how the film is science fiction but the main focus is family! Its evocative and funny without being smug or finger pointing

I just wish more people would make films like Nolan where viewers have to think and are challenged!

The plot is very good, interesting and complex enough to keep you guessing. It is a bit complicated but internally consistent.

Acting is amasing especially from Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain.

I was on the verge of tears several times, this is Sci-Fi done right.

The cast is led by a standout performance Matthew McConaughey as Cooper, an engineer-turned-ex-pilot-turned-farmer-turned-astronaut, that deals with the struggles of leaving his family to save humanity. A surprising amount of emotion in this film as the characters deal with humanity, survival and loss.

The film was a bit disappointing with some occasional choppy, unnatural dialogue and underdeveloped characters, but the biggest concern was that of subpar sound mixing. A number of scenes had dialogue that was overpowered by effects and the music making it hard to understand what the characters were saying. Due to this it would be a travesty for this film to win the Oscar for Best Sound Mixing.

Interstellar is a thought-provoking, intellectually-stimulating story that uses a meticulous eye for scientific detail to depict worlds and concepts we have only dreamt of. Christopher Nolan creates a visual masterpiece reminiscent of 2001: A Space Odyssey with its absolutely breathtaking cinematography mixed to an eerily quiet soundtrack to encompass the vast beauty of space. Although it has underdeveloped characters and somewhat subpar sound mixing, the overall film is an entertaining thrill ride into the deep, unknown parts of space. This is definitely a film to see in theatres to fully immerse yourself in the Nolan experience. Not the space movie we deserved, but the space movie we needed. Nothing less than an Interstellar night.

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

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

The film is sufficiently different from similar modern Sci-Fi's, not so much in story - but in scenes, camera and sound to deliver something, new, where I did not know what is going to happen next. I liked how the science sounded feasible (which is paramount to me in these types of films) except in a perhaps a couple instances where it became a bit far fetched - nonetheless it managed to draw me back in before I lost interest.

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.

Thumbs up!

“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.

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. while Ann Hathaway and Mathew Mcconaughey were very weird choices considering neither has really shown the chops for sci-fi, they do put on quite a show.
the movie, like an actual space launch, starts of slow, but once they get through the wormhole the movie pretty much is non-stop until it jumps the shark at the end with the whole 5d existing in 3d with time distortions (this movie is not for the scientific faint of heart)
it takes a few minutes of watching, but just replace Hal 900 with Michal Caine and Matt Damon and you pretty much got 2001: a space odyssey, so i pretty much give it the same score as 2001 would get.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It would be easy to dismiss this film with a poor rating and go on to give a great one to some Disney animated feature—not here, though. This cerebral film (which has been accused of having plot holes by those who think relativity and wormholes are cut-and-dry theories) inspires more than just our imaginations; it has us walking out of the theater and driving home wishing we could have traveled along with that small crew in search of the Lazarus’ beacons. Expecting Hathaway to break into a rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream” notwithstanding, I thought the cast was superb, despite being almost out-acted by the lumbering robots. I’ve seen this film twice, the second time moving me even more than the first. This hasn’t happened to me since “There Will Be Blood.” “Interstellar” flew the razor’s edge of impossibility, and nailed it. 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.

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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I saw Interstellar with really high expectations because 2 of my friends said it was amazing. They were right! The movie opens up with a segment about earth. It has basically turned to s*** and there are dust storms frequently. Not to mention the lack of crops and wildlife. Basically, as said by Michael Caine, "Your daughter's generation will be the last on earth." Not a good sign. So Michael Caine's character asks Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) to take a long and dangerous journey into space in the hopes of saving the human race. The original plan was to bring everyone off of Earth and repopulate on another world. But that plan, as revealed in the movie, is not possible. So they are forced to go with plan B, which was to abandon everyone on earth and start a new colony with their frozen human embryos on their ship. But before that part of the story, they visit two planets. A water planet and an ice planet. The water planet is made entirely of shallow water and occasionally has cloud-high waves that sweep the planet and eliminate any life that may be in that area. So... Not the best place to setup a human colony because the original scientist who landed there was most likely hit by one of those waves as well as Cooper's third crew member. The second planet they visit is entirely made of ice and is very visually appealing to the eye. There, they meet another scientist who seemed so grateful to be freed. But, he turns out to be a selfish man because he abandons Cooper's crew and attempts to dock on their spaceship. He failed however, and wrecked their ship in the process. But Cooper manages to escape the planted with Anne Hathaway and manages to dock on the wrecked spaceship. But seeing that all hope is lost, he decides to take a chance and uses the black hole's force to propel her from the ship, but only her. He proceeds to enter the black hole and enters the time dimension where time is instead physical instead of figurative. From there he manages to send a message on his daughter's watch and they figure it out. He then escapes the time dimension and is luckily found by a team of searchers by Saturn. He then finds himself at Cooper station (named after his daughter) which orbits Saturn. He then gets a chance to see his daughter one last time, who is now at least 40 years older than him. Interstellar does have a very sad ending which made me tear up I have to admit. But overall, Interstellar is a compelling Sci-Fi movie with great performances, especially by Matthew McConaughey. 9/10 (Awesome) Expand

Besides, it does a pretty intense discussion about family and human relationships. Although Caine's aging was weird and Affleck was very disposable in the story, Interstellar works and it works a lot. If it's not appreciated they way it deserves nowadays, in the future it will.

The movie has lived up to its hype in my eyes.It took a little while to get going but it got intresting fairly quick.It does have its little flaws but still definitely worth a 9.

Along with a stunning soundtrack and a moving plot line makes this film great. However what prevents it from being a masterpiece is the unnecessary length along with this film being covered in Nolan's fingerprints. Interstellar suffers some of these amen issues that Inception did with large points implied however the film can't grasp the full concept. Nolan tries his best to avoid exposition, but its inevitable. Some of his characters were stale and seemingly there to just explain important plot points. Despite that however, I found this to be a very entertaining film, keeping me on the edge of my seat nearly the entire show. Expand

Really liked this great movie Matthew McConaughey just gets better and better! The idea itself is a little scary, but thought it was beautifully filmed, all the actors compliment each other wonderfully.

This is a really weird movie, and while that's not a bad thing, it can get really confusing. The concept is easy to understand, but the plot can get a little garbled in all the action.

Dr. Brand: "Do not go gentle into that good night; Old age should burn and rave at close of day. Rage, rage against the dying of the light".

The story is about a team of explorers undertakes the most important mission in human history; traveling beyond this galaxy to discover whether mankind has a future among the stars.

Christopher Nolan once said that 2001: A space odyssey was his all time favorite film and he wanted to do a small tribute to his work in Nolan's next film, and then comes Interstellar a movie that will put a smile on Kubrick face if he was alive today, because Interstellar is one of the best movie of 2014 and the best movie experience.

I saw this movie in IMAX and all through out this film I felt like I was in space floating around with Mconaughey and Anne Hathaway. I had that feeling that I was going deep into space just like are main character's, going deep into space just like the viewing auditions and me.

The visual effect's in this movie are some of the most stunning, beautiful and Jaw dropping effect's I've seen since well 2001: A Space Odyssey. The performances were brilliant, The cinematography was breathtaking and hard to look away. The directing by Christopher Nolan and let me get this out there, this man is a true director; he knows cinema and knows how to interested people into seeing he's films and I'm still shocked that he hasn't won a Oscar for that.

Now most people or critics have said that last third of this movie ruined the movie for them, but I actually like the ending to the movie, it's new for Nolan because he always ends on a deep and cold note, but this movie didn't and I didn't mind it.

My only nick pick with the movie is some of the character's in this movie wasn't all that interesting. Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain are the only character's that to me were interesting and I cared for them, but the rest of the character's I didn't really care for.

Overall Interstellar is a mind-blowing movie with fantastic visual's with a interesting story line that will keep you interested.

First let me get the reason why I didnt give it a 10 out of the way.

unnecessary dialogues, plot flaws?, movie plot was kinda all over the place. Undeveloped characters. Just alot of questions that you have to figure out as an audience,

but what a great movie still. I didn't watch it in IMAX but I really wish I did, the science was truly interesting and for a viewer that tends to predict the movie as it goes on, I was quite pleased how it turned out. and I loved the relationship between Murphy and Cooper. Gets right in the feels

Great movie, really gets you thinking about the future of humanity :3

It's an emotional melodrama that may leave you wanting to cry at the end, especially if you understand how strong a father, daughter relationship can be. Expand
