Science’sThere is nothing so grand as to speculate on than the infinite. In an infinite cosmos, everything falls within the realm of possibility, and that may be why science fiction is so enduring as an art form — it promises revelation. Science’s unfolding of the universe, freed from the morass of religious archetype, is the saga of modern spirituality that plays out in science fiction. Yet, there has always remained a quaint cautionary aspect to science fiction. Storytellers and audiences remain suckers for parable. As much as we crave escape into the unknown, we crave guidance from above, Christopher Nolan’s epic sci-fi film, “Interstellar,” explores the foibles of seeking either.

“Interstellar” is richly steeped in the classicism of science fiction, which is surprisingly hermetic as a genre. More often than not, science fiction stories are tales of apocalypse or transcendence, rocket-wreathed journeys of harrowing adventure. And like other sci-fi films before it, “Interstellar” walks familiar scorched earth. It is a cautionary tale, a vision of global apocalypse, in addition to being a Homeric journey of discovery. Yet “Interstellar” instantly defines itself as one of the landmarks of the genre. Transcendent and harrowing, it is probably the finest science fiction film produced in decades. What’s miraculous is how fresh Nolan makes his classically crafted sci-fiction film feel, shaping it with absolute modernity. “Interstellar” is Nolan’s best film to date and most certainly among the most beautiful science fiction films ever made.

The screenplay, written by Nolan and his brother, Johnathan, is unabashedly intelligent. Not since Paddy Chayefsky’s “Altered States” has such high-functioning dialogue been chewed onscreen by geeks. And while its constructed as neatly as a pyramid, the layers of the story might seem confusing to some unwilling to invest at least a little thought at the movies. But for those who venture into “Interstellar” for intelligent sci-fi, the threads of the tale weave themselves deliciously back together by its conclusion.

Even as it fulfills the sci-fi purist’s quest for substance,”Interstellar” is also a grandly orchestrated piece of popular entertainment, driven by family drama, suspense and moments of blazing action. It’s a complex film, ambitious in its artistry, yet a film that mainstream audiences won’t feel put off by. Clocking in at nearly three hours in length, “Interstellar” is also a marathon of a movie. It’s a movie for the bingeing generation. Yet its length is befitting the ambitions of its story and the stately verisimilitude of Nolan’s mise-en-scène.

“Interstellar” is set in the not-so-far away future when a dust storm-whipped Earth teeters on extinction. It’s not greenhouse gases or oil reserves that have done in mankind, but a vegetative blight starving out nations and throwing the planet’s O2 levels into chaos. Nolan wisely does little finger-pointing (Monsanto, anyone?) or proselytizing in his story. It suffices to say that the world is quickly going out with a whimper, not a bang.

The big moments of planetary splendor even outshine the seminal work Kubrick did in “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Jaw dropping images of tumbling spacecraft spinning through the rings of Saturn, helpless and dwarfed by the giant denizens of our solar system, are breathtaking. Those seeking a visual trip to space won’t be disappointed: planetary splendor is on plentiful display. And the special effects depicting where no man has gone before — through the mystery of worm holes and black holes — coupled with Han Zimmer’s blistering score that nearly renders you unconscious at times, are cosmic thrill rides that you won’t soon forget.

Nolan lays down his particle physics and turns to his metaphysics in a storyline that suggests the greatest self-perpetuating force in the universe is our spiritual bond to each other. Unlike Kubrick’s orgasmic Nietzschean rendezvous at the finale of “2001” with the supreme being, Nolan turns to Jung’s animus and anima, the masculine and feminine archetypes of the subconscious mind, for his own unifying theory. Kubrick has always been accused of being an icy thinker, but it’s here that Nolan proves himself to be the man of science, at least psychology. And Cooper’s voyage to the edge of a black hole, where time bends like a willow front, is cleverly played out in context of the chasm of separation between father and daughter. Their love and loss transmitted over the years in melancholy, one-sided electronic messages, is perhaps another parable for our times.

Nolan has always loved playing with the structure of his films, framing them like Chinese puzzles and “Interstellar” is no different. But he does it here with such subtlety and well-defined logic that there’s no overly clever feel to his devicing in “Interstellar” — the story feels natural and inevitable and works perfectly within the genre of science fiction.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is a homage to Kubrick's Odyssey. That's why movie loses scientific and logical sense after the first half. Zimmer again did a marvelous job in his soundtracks with incredible build-up and that hard to describe feel of old sci-fi movies. The plot twist is one of the most unpredictable things you may ever imagine since I anticipated protagonist's death after the final scene.

I rate this movie 9 for these reasons - Great soundtrack, cinematography, CG and employment of practical effects, story and build-up. The movie just falls short in constantly changing aspect ratios and a rather dull intro.… Expand

Is this a sci-fi? A love story? An action movie? In Interstellar, Christopher Nolan combines all of these into a thrilling adventure across the universe to find the Earth a new home.
This seamless combination of a visually spectacular actionIs this a sci-fi? A love story? An action movie? In Interstellar, Christopher Nolan combines all of these into a thrilling adventure across the universe to find the Earth a new home.
This seamless combination of a visually spectacular action movie, a father-daughter relationship stretched across the universe and an epic sci-fi makes Interstellar one of the most ambitious films in history.
This is without even mentioning the scientific attention to detail that Nolan, his team and Prof. Kip Thorne put into the screenplay. The theories which amounted to Interstellar's thoroughly engaging narrative were all remarkably realistic once you'd put your head around it, and any idea which seemed unfeasible at first was justified in the book that accompanied Interstellar's release.
Although the ending of Interstellar could be seen as inappropriate for the plot, you could just as easily argue that it was necessary for rounding the action off and making it appeasing for those whom find the Cooper's love for his children the centrepiece of the story. Still, it could have been better as an ending, but given that everything else in the movie is pretty damn awesome we can let it slide.
Nolan was aiming for Interstellar to sit amongst his favourite sci-fi '2001: A Space Odyssey', and they show many similarities in that regard. However, Nolan's ability to attract all audiences and mould genres together to form a beautiful, engaging story which remains both challenging (in a good way) and interesting throughout puts Interstellar at the forefront of science fiction movies to date. It becomes one of those movies that sticks with you for years; and I hope it has the same effect on others it did on me.… Expand

These are generally true, but the heart of this movie is actually the human destiny to conquer. In a vast universe, the plot follows a team of scientists scrambling to save mankind. The astronauts make their way to the stars through difficulties. In each ordeal, time amplifies the characters' mistakes and successes to unforeseen outcomes. Hans Zimmer's musical score augments Interstellar's sense of helplessness and curiosity to extremes. I watched this movie on my computer screen, but it would be best to watch in a home theater or in IMAX. This is due to the jaw-dropping, unfathomable presentation of cosmic visuals in the movie. Interstellar takes the spot as my second favorite movie of all time. It is without a doubt deeper and more ambitious than Christopher Nolan's Inception. This is not to state I didn't enjoy that movie. Interstellar, like Inception, doesn't fit well to watch on a Friday night. It's more of a Sunday afternoon type movie! Prepare to ponder Interstellar's mind-numbing themes & concepts for several days after finishing it.… Expand

If you have ever studied quantum physiques or those theories you will just love the movie. If not then you might find the movie a bit too informative and sometimes dull. The theories explanation in the movie are not really understandable but that is a no problem hence their complex nature. Instead these theories are simplified as much as possible. It has an extraordinary and dramatic atmosphere of a planet Earth which is basically on the verge of destruction with all of the extras such as people dieing from starvation, water pollution, wars, crimes etc but the movie instead does not focus on that but on a trip to outer space trying to find a better Earth in the form of another planet in order to save the human race. I like the movie, the atmosphere, the soundtrack and the casting. I do think though that the acting was a bit over dramatic at some points and a bit over emotionless on other moments. Pans and corny dialogues are included as usual with such movies. The conclusion of the movie is completely unexpected and I really enjoyed its ending! You should watch that movie!… Expand

Interstellar is a very good movie that is intense, emotional and full of action. It plays with the concepts of space and science, and wraps it into a setting where humanity is on the verge of losing the ability to live on earth.
WithoutInterstellar is a very good movie that is intense, emotional and full of action. It plays with the concepts of space and science, and wraps it into a setting where humanity is on the verge of losing the ability to live on earth.
Without spoiling the movie, I was worried that this would be another space movie that feels isolated from loved ones, and trapped like other non-fantasy space movies. These elements do exist in the movie, and Matthew McConaughey captures it with believable, intense acting. But I was pleased that the elements of loneliness of space were mitigated by incorporating more characters and places to feel more action oriented rather than a vacuum of space movie. I would relate this movie to the movie The Abyss, where it can be frightening, but it has adventure and it has heart.
The only issues are that the movie can get confusing with who is where in each scene, and what is each person doing as the scenes jump around. Also the characters going to space were a little too fearless with almost no preparation together to conduct a crazy tough mission. The director did the same thing in the movie Inception; an improbable, coordinated mission but no on screen preparation. It did not ruin the movie, but took anyway some believability of these characters being real science people. It is a complicated script and story and I give the director, Christopher Nolan, a pass to cut a few corners. The script and the lines of the characters are brilliant as they show various philosophies and emotions that add great depth to this story. It is not perfect but it is impressive.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of my favourite if not my favourite movie of all time. I've watched it over 20 times now. The soundtrack is just breathtaking. There are amazing scenes, like the cornfield chase scene and the water planet disaster. I do agree that this movie has flaws. Some characters are underdeveloped. Why is Cooper's son in the movie? He's just kinda.. there. The only use he has is to add conflict near the end. It's also odd how Murph holds a grudge on Cooper for so many years. Nobody would be that stubborn. Some of Cooper's crew is just kinda there, like his son. They are never developed. The guy with the beard dies when they reach the water planet and the black guy dies on the ice planet. They are never developed. The movie is more focused on story rather than characters. Even the story is flawed sometimes. For example, we hear about Cooper's wife once and how she died, yet she is never mentioned again. Don't you think she should be a bigger part of Cooper's life? At this point, I'm just nitpicking small things. The movie overall is amazing. Movies are about experiencing awe and wonder, and Interstellar does that well. The messages and themes in Interstellar along with the breathtaking scenes and the soundtrack make it one of my favourite movies of all time.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Interstellar is, by far, the best science fiction movie of the past few decades.

Unlike most other movies in the genre that eschew the "science" part in favor of "fiction", Interstellar is about "science" with a bit of "fiction" here and there. It's as scientific as a big budget Hollywood movie can be without turning into a Physics documentary.

There are no spaceships with faster-than-light "warp drives" as seen in Star Wars and Star Trek, rather a slow and fragile space station that doesn't shoot lasers and gives the impression it's about to break apart as soon as it fires up its engines. There are no unbreakable supersoldiers that will single-handedly save the world either, instead there are a lot of humanly fallible characters who break under the circumstances, even committing what would be considered as "sin" philosophically speaking, chief among them Matt Damon and Michael Caine's characters of Dr. Mann and Dr. Brand.

Interstellar is full of powerful scenes, both on the scientific level and the human one. Scenes such as the fantastical traversal through a wormhole near Jupiter, the moments when Murph accuses her father of leaving her to die on Earth via video, the fist fight between Dr. Mann and Cooper, and the suspenseful attempt of Cooper to dock to the spinning-out-of-control space station.

But at the heart of the story is the love of a father and a daughter, and that's what keeps Interstellar from becoming an interesting documentary yet at the same time a boring movie. This father-daughter dynamic grounds the story and makes the plot relatable to the average viewer that probably doesn't understand all the Physics concepts that are present in this movie. Unlike the other explorers of this movie who were chosen due to having no families, Matthew McConaughey's Cooper is a father that goes out in the cosmos and risks his life to save his kids. This striking antithesis between Cooper and the others is what makes Matthew McConaughey's performance more powerful.

Where the movie throws all of its "fiction" is towards the end, where we get to experience an imaginary voyage to the center of a black hole. We also get a taste of what a higher-dimension space could be like, although the human mind can't possibly comprehend the true meaning of 4, 5 or more dimensions. But I must admit, I find the concept of gravity affecting time hard to grasp, and I have no clue about its plausibility.

Last but not least I was impressed by the powerful and evocative OST, scored by the one and only Hans Zimmer.

As far as science fiction movies go, Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey remains the ultimate movie in its genre, the one to beat, the one by which every other movie is gonna be judged. But Christopher Nolan's Interstellar is a special movie. I don't know whether Interstellar is the second-best science fiction movie ever made, but it's surely close enough to the top.… Expand

Interstellar

Nolan's long lasting project to explore the space goes safe. That's as much as you can do, for a film so heavy and personally touched. The writer and director Christopher Nolan is a believer of doing your homework properly. Simple as that. And working with Kip Thorne, a theoretical physicist, he has embodied the actual laws of physics in the film to a certain degree that it, itself started to create storylines of its own. Deciding to go towards the call, Nolan jam-packs this three hour of film with a whole lot of science and maths.

And just as it happened previously in Inception- not in this scale, of course- the science took over the emotional impact of these incredibly empathetic characters. Now, the only reason why this one comes off a bit slow in that department, compared to the Inception, is because it over-explains the narrative arcs more than the theories and philosophies of this science expenditure. Just walk through the jolting revelation placed later in the film, which spirals out an informative; yet not actually informative, conversation between Mathew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway and Matt Damon discussing Michael Caine's character.

Once again, these are just minor flaws in this touching love story, where my personal favorite aspect of it is how mythological the equation between a father and a daughter comes off, especially in the final moments of the film. That very piece of note resembles beautifully with Steven Spielberg's AI: Artificial Intelligence. Another thing to note here, is how simple Nolan's direction and choices in the film are. In a complex dystopian future, he has kept things elemental- for instance the planets are often painted as one key, like water, rocks, dust and even love(!)- in order to mark the events occurred in this long Interstellar travel clearly.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is intense, gripping, emotional, and thought provoking. It has a few missteps; the talk of love, the last act needing multiple rewatches and even a little suspension of disbelief to make sense, and some of the exposition-heavy dialogue. Other than that, this movie has very few flaws. The cinematography sits atop the mountain with the very best that this genre can offer. There are almost no moments where special effects are even noticeable; it all looks real. That aside, this is a monumental achievement in film making. From getting some incredibly complicated concepts almost entirely correct to taking liberties and being ambitious enough to make Kubrick proud, this movie is simply outstanding. Still one of my favorites, despite being one of the films I have most intensely examined and criticized in recent years. If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and watch this film.… Expand

The movie expects you to keep up with it. If you don't, you'll be confused, and that's why you don't like it. Don't beat yourself up, the movie was made for smart people.

Con un guión y diálogos de acorde y con buena armonía, las actuaciones de Anne Hathaway,Mathew McConaughey y Jessica Chastain logran destacar a lo largo de las casi tres horas de película. Con una trama que explora la ciencia ficción a fondo, nos pierde en el camino con demasiados datos por entender ante un público poco culto en el tema. Hace falta un análisis a fondo para terminar de comprender detalle a detalle cada dato que termina cargando con más drama aun más el ambiente hasta querer desear que todo vaya tal y como queramos.
Aún así, es una película que vale la pena ver más de una vez.

The superior visuals, the outstanding performances, its very excellent soundtrack, the very good screenplay, the great and sentimental story and the movie is very good compared to Inception (also by Nolan). The scene that I liked the most in the whole movie is when Cooper abandons his daughter Murph when he leaves to fulfill the mission and when Cooper and Amelia Brand travel to the afterlife in space, seriously, those scenes really surprised me and It is the one that I loved the most in the movie, a 10 out of 10 for those scenes. Being very clear, I think that the story is my point of discussion of the film, although it is very sentimental, although it has some holes in the script, but little by little the story is understood and you get used to it very well and the film is not the disappointing, although it is not the one I enjoy the most (the one I enjoy the most is The Dark Knight (2008) also by Christopher Nolan). No offense to the 2014 movie, it's like a modern "2001: A Space Odyssey" and Nolan's movie is one of the best he gave us that year.… Expand

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

This promises some mind-stretching concepts, framed by confusing scientific discussions. You can also expect some cool visuals, although the camera often focuses more on faces than spectacular effects. As for the human aspect, it's all about his emotional connection with his daughter back on Earth. The power of love has its part to play and McConaughey cries a lot! Hans Zimmer's overpowering music sometimes gets in the way and some of the story clichés dilute the potential majesty of the voyage. Don't get me wrong, there's lots to recommend in Christopher Nolan's splendid film and the 169 minute length never bores, it was just less amazing than I expected.… Expand

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

It owes a lot to films like 2001: A SpaceThere are many things here in Interstellar that work very well and some that...fall short. However, as a whole, Interstellar is a major success. First off, the visual effects are...breathtaking. It owes a lot to films like 2001: A Space Odyssey, especially some of the visual splendor that was on screen, but there was certainly some influence from lesser known films such as The Fountain. Some of the sequences in that film are almost perfectly emulated here, with some obvious changes, but the influence is obvious in that sense. Many of the sci-fi elements are also indebted to films such as 2001 and other far-reaching and technically brilliant sci-fi films. Sci-fi film wise, this one travels very little new ground. The score here by Hans Zimmer is perfect and truly served as a great sonic backdrop for the visual ecstasy that was taking place on screen. Interstellar is also a very emotional film, brought to life by strong writing and, in particular, strong acting. Matthew McConaughey is brilliant, as are Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, Casey Affleck, and Matt Damon. They all play great emotional roles here and it is hard to fight back tears at times. There are a ton of brilliant elements here contained here and the space visuals are king of that, but I do feel the story faltered at times. Namely, the ending seemed...cop outish. They kind of a held your hand a little bit at the end and pointed directly at what you needed to understand. It also ended very sentimentally and it could have gone in a far different direction and, to me, the ending seemed fake. Finally, there are some things that just do not make sense in terms of plot (plotholes, somewhat) that are not overly important because I barely remember them already, but all the same. In terms of science, it also seemed to try and go too far and get technical with science stuff, which was unnecessary and, largely, out of mental grasp, which was a bummer.

Overall, Interstellar is an astounding achievement technically and visually, though it is far from perfect and rather than blasting it for its imperfections, I think perfections need to be celebrated thanks to the profound impact have on the viewer and kind of leave in a trance as the final credits start rolling.… Expand

Though to be fair, it should also be noted that it is too long, too noisy, and there are gaping plot holes. But so what? This is about an emotional and redemptive journey spanning the stars and the generations, not realism. After three hours, you really end up feeling like you have been on a journey yourself. Great performances throughout - though better diction by the actors would not have hurt. But whichever way you cut it, this is a serious movie, portraying humanity facing adversity in ways that are both moving and artistic. Considerably better than any of the Batman movies. And it gets an extra mark for the special effects - which thankfully, do not overwhelm the movie. Somehow they simultaneously become both achingly beautiful, and austere at the same time - which is a major achievement in today's over-done blockbusters.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I enjoyed Interstellar very much, though I think it is not a perfect film.
Warning, spoilers:
First, I have several problems with Interstellar.
1) One is that Dylan Thomas quote, "Do not go gentle into that good night" is too literal for the situation. It irritated me that Nolan decided to quote it over and over.
2) Matt Damon's character was obviously going to go bugnuts and off everyone. This was telegraphed the moment he woke up.
3) Adult Murph, played by Jessica Chastain, burned the corn. I thought she was pretty desperate to help her sister-in-law and niece, because she might end up burning them with the corn.
4) Tom (Casey Affleck) comes back after putting out the fire, Jessica Chastain tells him (I think) their dad was talking to them through her watch and hugs him. With Murph's boyfriend Topher standing there with a tire wrench, Tom might conclude that Murph was burgling his house, or might even realize she started the fire, which she did. I fully expected him to punch her for coming back to their house.
Nevertheless,
1) I truly bought the idea man will stop exploring space and start saying the Moon landing was a lie. We are stupid enough to do that to ourselves.
2) I fully support this movie's pro-space agenda. It has its flaws, but I pray that it will be a box-office hit and have us looking to the stars again.
3) I love the space scenes, especially the wormhole and the black hole.
4) I love the space colony scene in the end, with people living in huge cylinders.
5) Chastain/Foy/Burstyn fully sold me on their father/daughter relationship with McConaughey. This is very important in accepting the film.… Expand

He's absolutely the best thing about the movie. The problems are the runtime, the movie's nearly 3 hours long and while it never really drags, it can be a lot to sit through. Some of logic begins to deteriorate a little bit in the end as well, it's not quite as on point as Inception was. Still, it's Christopher Nolan making yet another good movie, and it's worth checking out.… Expand

I believe if you just let the story happen then it's great, but to me I just had a hard time with the timelines. He was telling himself how to start his journey while being in the future to alter his past. Well his original timeline would never have been affected by him since they would never of had found the NASA building to begin with. I could understand if they received some kind of message from (them) and started this journey that took to long for him to be with his family, and he then altered his past in the timeline to create a new timeline that he altered since he already achieved getting to the black hole.

But, like I stated earlier, if you just watch it for being a movie.. it's pretty good.… Expand

Interstellar is a ambitious film you won't soon forget. While there are times you feel exasperated by the science and trying to fit everything in place in your mind, the sheer spectacle is something to behold. A-

It seems to me that was how Chris wanted Interstellar to be, as grounded as possible, in my opinion only for the believable emotional acting chops of Matthew McConaughey and strong supporting cast I don't know if interstellar would been as believable though there are a few faults. I admire Christopher Nolan's vision and possible message? he has set throughout Interstellar, and of course Hans Zimmer's score perfects the sense of being in space and the chilling atmosphere that comes with it. For the best experience see the movie in IMAX the way Chris wanted it to be seen it certainly is a trip.… Expand

You never know which way it will go. Also Nolan left the ending on a slight cliff hanger so potentially a 2nd Interstellar may be on the books. It is a complex film but Space is a complex subject. Nolan took this film to a whole new level, making you want to know more & leaving you wanting a second film.… Expand

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

--- SPOILERS, SPOILERS, SPOILERS ---

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

This is a great movie. It ignores some of our current understanding of science and takes some of our unproven theories and runs with them. So as long as you can accept that, you should be in for a wild ride!

Incredible visuals mixed inThis is a great movie. It ignores some of our current understanding of science and takes some of our unproven theories and runs with them. So as long as you can accept that, you should be in for a wild ride!

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

It's a long movie, but aside from the slow start you never really feel it. Another great movie by Nolan!… Expand

"INTERSTELLAR" is a well weaved net of shear brilliance. film has a great number of contents to offer, it has everything that can shook you to the toes . the movie did shoooook me! . Nolan simply slingshot to infinite distance in movie making industry, although there were some problems in the script the important 169 minutes offer everything one would expect. now its time to do some review on the movie. its screenplay is spectacular, more than INCEPTION. its only in my view . script gives us the glimpse of brilliance and hard work done by the film maker. he touched Stephan Hawking's BLACK HOLE PARADOX, Einstein's THEORY OF RELATIVITY everything physics had to offer. the movie starts with a silent, just to build on. Matthew McConaughey has done a great job to do this role. after slight introduction of human crisis Nolan tries to enter deep into charecter who lost his job, wife etc. the main charecter then enters to a voyage of script !. humanity is facing blight , human raise is struggling to produce food. every nation shut down their resources. whole of a kind is trying to make food. McConaughey stumbles into a secret NASA space station by the help of his daughter's GHOST story. now we get glimpse of suspense that script has to offer. he took his chance there to rescue mankind ,joined with some more scientists which include Hathaway . they were trying to solve the problem with gravitational equation, another planet with life forms. before the expedition they select three potentially good chance planets and try to communicate. these hard knowing scenes may suggest little boring if you are not a fan of Nolan movies. story continues till they enter into each planet first one had nothing in it. next one produce more problems as it is conflicted with another scientist who has selfish nature and it all goes into third and most dangerous planet. meanwhile in earth already fourty something years passed. twist in the story happens when McConaughey come to know about the fact that it was a sham, they were carrying life form to enhance new planet but not saving it . then the whole black hole thing comes all that drama sequence and then he fell into another five dimensional world where the rest of the story starts to reveal Matthew McConaughey gives his daughter secret to bend time and that is it . planet is saved then there is a glance into five dimensional world in future which was awesome to see. i was fascinated by thinking of growth of film makers in all these years. it is a must see movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Half good, half American - good ol' American farmboy is all things to all people and saves the world, an excess of American flags flying in far away galaxies, American myths propagated (like the claim that broad altruism hasn't yet evolved, then displaying it to show how 'transcendent' they are), and American tropes abused (wise cracking robot sidekick - does everything have to be comedy?). Reminded me vaguely of the first season of Farscape (which was pretty good). There was another good hour or two left in the story that I would have liked to see, maybe they'll make a few sequels.

They left out an explanation of the blight... because no explanation could make sense and tie together the narratives they are selling. "6 billion people consumed too much" can't explain every last person dying or the mysterious plant contagion. Humanity would eat bacteria grown under nuclear light if it came to it. And what's with the coughing? - dust masks are cheap. It's cinematic hand-waving trying to show general malaise because they chose not to provide a coherent back story. And I was annoyed by our supposedly smart hero asking, what should be for him, stupid questions to give the movie an excuse to explain things to the lay-viewer, surely that could have been done less conspicuously.

As much as I liked this movie, sadly it's more "American spirit conquers science" than science fiction. I was going to call it "love conquers science" but you don't even really feel the love like in Frequency (another good "love conquers reality" kind of movie).

I'm sad that Hollywood has made yet another supernatural action-comedy masquerading as science fiction.

And shouldn't I have been surprised by the father being the 'ghost'? Isn't that how this kind of thing is suppose to work? Or do they foreshadow the twists so the viewer feels smart when they figure it out? And a happy ending was never in doubt... right from the beginning you knew they are going to 'deus ex machina' their way to victory... barely any tension at all.

Really the only good parts were the parts where you thought the movie was about to get interesting (but never did) - when it was offer false anticipation of being a good movie, like the ending.

And yet grading it on a curve, I give it 8/10.… Expand

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

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

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

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

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

Laugh out moment: ttaM nomaD!

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

Interstellar is an intriguing tale because of its human characters. It's a story of a family who want to do what they love with who they love but are torn apart by a small competing priority - saving humankind.

The science fictionInterstellar is an intriguing tale because of its human characters. It's a story of a family who want to do what they love with who they love but are torn apart by a small competing priority - saving humankind.

The science fiction theories I struggled with in the credibility department, certain convenient one in a trillion coincidences detracted from the ingenuity and risk of gambles the crew take.

For the me most gripping aspects of Interstellar are the breathtaking foreign planet scenes and relationship between McConaughey and his daughter. The scenes on board the interstellar station are very reminiscent of Alien and the AI robot puts a news spin on HAL from 2001. The Matt Damon scenes are straight out bizarre!

Nolan is always guaranteed to leave you thinking, wondering and conjecturing with friends. I see other reviewers compare this to Gravity and for what it's worth - I thought Gravity was a far more riveting and thrilling tale.… Expand

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

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

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