Suddenly there's massive time dilation just by landing on a slightly higher gravity planet? Huh? And NOTHING can escape a black hole...so CALL ME ON YOU RADIO when you fall into one. Oh, and forget the ACTUAL (and infinite) time dilation that would occur while you're in there. The Stupid is strong with this one. It's infuriating that the whole movie acts like it's toeing the line on physics (no warp drive, no sound in space, use of orbital mechanics, etc), but then slaps you across the face with complete scientific ignorance. Five minutes of Googling would've disproved the central concepts of this project, but I guess that was too much work. Nolan reveals himself as a fool who's absorbed just enough Science(y) Fiction to be dangerous, and sadly that's appealing to a bunch of people who share his ignorance. A thousand face palms and increased pessimism for the longevity of our species.… Expand

This was a fabulous movie.......not! How's about a coherent story line to start with; eh? What would possess big name stars to even consider acting in this dog? Wow. Or should I say (bow) wow.

Nolan nos da um presente de ficção científica incrível, tanto na sua parte visual como em seu complexo enredo, e também há algumas referências ao clássico 2001 - Uma Odisseia no Espaço.

O filme é incrível e vale muito a pena.

The crew that made it had everything necessary to make a masterpiece. What stopped them however, was the urge to make it profitable and appealing to the general public. The problem with general public is that it can't handle the "coldness" of space. As a result the excellent Sci-Fi material had to be mixed with an unhealthy amount romantic nonsense. Such a pity :(… Expand

If you are more emotional than I am (I never cry D:) than be prepared to cry for the last 30minutes of the film. Sure at times you won't understand the 'scientific' explanations, but please don't let that stop you. I did not expect this movie to be anything great at all! I was dead wrong! This movie is at least a 10/10, I rate it a 11/10. Is it like Gravity? Helll No, Gravity can't be even compared to this masterpiece!! People who are giving this a 0 or under 9 are just insane.

The conclusion came, with what i thought would be a big finale, but went flat at the end. Disappointing finish to what could have been a really great movie. The love interest was randomly thrown at the ending for no reason. Also very predictable. I saw most of the twists coming, expect the surprising cameos. Overall i would say its not one of his worst films for quality wise but weak in a finale and storytelling. 8.6… Expand

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

Interstellar is a film about love and its bonds to traverse space and time. Not only does it fulfill its purpose with some truly skilled acting, but some interesting and likable characters as well. While the story and characters go a long way for me, the imagery and the way this movie is filmed sent it over the top. I like to think of myself as an artistically minded person, and that is why the movie appealed so much to me. This movie actually reminded me a lot of 2013’s " Gravity".

Indeed it is probably one of the most visually stunning movies since those aforementioned movies, if not surpassing them in several scenes. Perhaps, strangely, what I appreciated most in Christopher Nolan's efforts was a movie mostly devoid of exaggerated suspense, cheap scares, and throw-away once-liners that fade from memory almost as soon as theyy are uttered. It was a mature portrayal of humanity, and a chilling warning of where we might be headed.

Perhaps the only real weakness is in some of the plot mechanics early on. There are some moments that are jarringly unrealistic, from the apparent lack of detailed planning for the mission, a mission of unimaginable importance, to Cooper's seeming complete lack of knowledge of Quantum mechanics (something surely he would have been briefed on prior to launch). I do however concede he needed to inform the audience of some of the science behind their decision-making.

What the movie does exceptionally well, is attempt to marry an awe-inspiring journey into the furthest reaches of scientific knowledge with a commentary on human nature and emotional connections. Family, the reason for existence, the nature of the cosmos - all are concepts touched on, at times quite beautifully, in this motion picture. The acting is great. Matthew McConaughey is a stand-out and pretty much carries the emotional component of the film single-handedly.

I felt tempted to give it a 10, to counter the usual silly 0s that people often give films they feel disappointed in. It's epic. Certainly on of the greatest Sci-fi movies ever made. It's in my top 10 that's for sure. But then, there haven't really been that many EPIC sci-fi movies ever made. The movie does have its issues, and its not perfect. But I feel sure that it will live long in the memory, as all true classics so often do.… Expand

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Firstly, I reluctantly gives scores for films in general but if I have to it's the one above.....

One thing struck me looking at user reviews for this films, almost everyone gave it a low score or a high score, "love it or hate it" I suppose, Though I didn't feel this. In my opinion films like this should be experienced subjectively but critiqued objectively.

Many people said the music overwhelmed the actors, dialogue, etc... sure, maybe, but why can't the film's score be a CHARACTER in a film sometimes? Remember how important the music was in Inception? Many films would be almost unimaginable without the music, it becomes a crucial part of the film like Dances With Wolves or There will Be Blood, some films don't need it at all like No Country for Old Men (that's right NO music, seriously). Some even said the casting was bad, which made me laugh because I couldn't imagine many people spouting philosophical jargon and pithy, humorous, comments better than McConaughey, after all, almost all the performances were very good also.

Other people have mentioned "plot holes" which I think they're confusing with script choices, I'm not saying they were good or bad, just different. Could Nolan have shown us more development with McConaughey's character? perhaps. Or, ceased with the scientific "lingo"? Maybe, though I feel like it was quite straight forward in most parts. These are simple choices made by a filmmaker, and lets not forget the fact that its called SCIENCE FICTON for a reason, it's ficton, not real. A lot of people seem to be missing this point entirely with ideas that certain elements of this film weren't logical, etc, or failed to explain certain things.

My critic of other people's critic continues with the one of the main aspects of the film with the "5th Dimension" idea. People seemed to have a problem with it, like me at first. I soon realised that this is Nolan we're talking about, the guy who left us wondering weather Di Caprio's character at the end of Inception was really awake or not. Could we not give the benefit of the doubt and assume for a second that this was McConaughey's fate as well? Maybe he was being metaphorical? or perhaps installing some symbolism into the film?

For my mind a filmmaker makes two films, one part for him and the other for the audience, knowing full well that the audience isn't going to fully comprehend every single thing in the film the filmmaker might well be inclined to write in some ideas of his own that make the film worth making in the first place. To this effect and for the following reasons I believe the "5th dimension" element to be, while on the surface an integral part of the plot, simply just means to an end. Firstly, unlike many American films about the end of the world, etc, we have no mention of God, religion, etc, just a small subplot about "ghosts" so in my mind this is Nolan's "God", the "5th dimension" is that unexplained feeling that was discussed in the film, the "love" of the film is physicalized here. The instruments used in Hans Zimmer's music gives it an every spiritual feel for no obvious reason since to film has nothing to do with spirituality per say, except for those of us who subjectively inject that into the film, which is fine. So in that respect I felt like he was underlying these themes musically, really driving home that idea we can't touch certain things in this life but can certainly feel them, no matter what the explanation. Also, two last things on this subject, several moment in the film there were discussions on death and what we experience when we die, one line describes that when we die we see our children, this happens to McConaughey in this moment, why take it so literally? Could it not be that he simply seeing his beloved at his most lonely terrifying moment? Lastly, the plain fact that after the "5th dimension" McConaughey awakes, barely alive, suddenly outside the orbit of Saturn awaiting a rescue ship. Really? or could it be a "Nolanism".

Overall, I'm not thinking this a 8 or 9 out of 10, and certainly not what other people are giving it, I think swinging either way is a mistake because while many of the films, as well as the execution is stunning, it's still a flawed film as many are, I just believe in looking into things a little closer before sending them to slaughter. Many reviews, both user and professional seem to miss crucial aspects of films when they watch them, especially when one bothers to write: "Boring, Boring, Boring", etc..... why bother unless you're willing to explain your actual thoughts in an intelligent and concise way?… Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10/10 will see again.… 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!… Expand

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

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

Hans Zimmer has done a phenomenal job making the soundtrack epic, emotional and add tension to suspenseful moments of the movie. Secondly, the CGI is flawless. On par with Gravity's CGI. Now, the story. It is extremely complex. I' not going to talk about it that much because it will spoil a couple of essential parts to the movie. The only thing I will say, is that I still think about it, even though I watched the movie a week ago. And that's what makes this movie special to movie. I still think about it. Even if the ending is not up to par with the rest of the movie, it is open to many interpretations, just like Inception. From now on, The Dark Knight, Inception, and Intersteller are my 3 favourite Nolan movie. 10/10… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There was 30 minutes of this movie that was worth watching. After that, there were the story lines (oh, so many of them), the sound management or lack there of (allowing the score to be louder than the actors is still wrong. We want to hear what they are saying....or use subtitles please), the dangling plots (hmm, there were a lot of them too), the useless need to stack actors in a movie for no reason (hmmm, why was Matt really there?), the misuse of time travel(guess some writer just wanted to add that to the mix since the butterfly effect had just been used recently), the addition of a love story gone wrong in space (Poor Ann), and why didn't NASA go out and find their No. 1 man? Thank goodness Mathew looked down on the floor, or the movie would have gone on a lot longer. Say, what did happen to that drone in the beginning of the movie? Why was that even put in the mix of the plot? Remove sections of this movie and would it still "fly". It took four major production companies to finance this "ship", they should have Michael Cane's character's lines and follow them.... "...it was all a scam". Over an hour too long, too many separate directions of plots, useless adding of characters, and to top it all off...making the father step out of the room to allow dying daughter to be with her family instead of her long lost father...yes, please dig the knife in deeper please. Great work, were any of these writers contracted to ruin recent television story lines in the past or present too (like Flash Forward or Resurrection)? Stanley Kubrick would be (okay, nicely...) very upset if he were in this audience watching this movie (that is, unless he helped produced it too). Six people of various ages walked out an hour before the movie ended. Glad the actors and crew were paid. For those who don't see the movie... you saved three hours of your life!
P.S. Reason for allowing 2 to this score... the robots and their concept use and the one planet with the ocean. The idea was the best.… Expand

We often use the exaggerated saying of "jawAn absolute masterpiece and quite easily the best film I've seen in 19 years of my life. Everything about it was just so incredibly epic and the detail to Scientific theory was beyond amazing. We often use the exaggerated saying of "jaw dropping", but for this film I can quote that literally.

First of all the acting was 10/10. Matthew McConaughey was the perfect man for this role and you could really feel his emotions throughout the movie. The connection with his daughter was also excellent and it really made you feel that father-daughter bond even when he was lightyears away in space.

The real aspect of the film which makes it a masterpiece in my book was the story with its twists and turns. This movie was made by the same makers of Inception and once again they nailed it. I won't give any spoiler away, but near the end when you begin to piece the puzzles together you will be in awe of its complexity and you soon realise just how well thought through this movie was. It's the type of movie where nobody would ever guess what's going to happen, and this is what sets it miles above other movies.

I must mention the soundtracks too. The music played throughout the film is what gave it such an incredible effect. Throughout 'epic' scenes it would become very loud with music, whilst at other times it would suddenly drop to silence and you could feel the emptiness of space as they ventured further. This film had the cinematic excellence of Gravity, but with a breathtaking story to go along with it.

Overall I can't recommend this film enough, just go and see it. Admittedly you will require some Scientific knowledge of space, relativity, and time, but the movie still does a good job to help you understand what's happening even if you're not a physicist.… Expand

The movie came together really nicely in the end. Sure there are things that don't make scientific sense and if you think too hard (e.g. how can humans travel through a worm hole but not find a better way to grow food, or what is the background of the Earth's deterioration, etc) then the film becomes less of what it sets out to be. So in that regard some things could have been ironed out. But really you don't see this type of movie everyday. It is of very very high quality and I enjoyed it very much. It has a long run time but really doesn't feel long at all. Acting was amazing. Characters are very believable with great stories each and they are easy to get emotionally attached to.

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

I felt it was pretentious, imitative, overlong, and predicated on meaningless pseudoscientific gibberish. Matthew McConaughey delivers most of his lines in an almost inaudible near-whisper for no apparent reason.

Some movies pay respectful homage to their predecessors, but this movie seems to have consciously set as its goal to out-2001 "2001, A Space Odyssey", as well as several other sci-fi goodies. Unfortunately, 2001 was based on a loftier artistic concept than merely trying to outdo a predecessor and so has a huge advantage out of the starting gate.

The soundtrack I found especially annoying due to extreme overuse of the "hey folks, this is the awesome moment of grandeur you've been waiting for" emotion which it attempted to invoke about every three minutes and as a result made it impossible to detect when, if ever, a moment of true grandeur and awe might actually have occurred. Numerous moments in the movie were clearly designed to extract that emotion from gullible moviegoers but for me they were unconvincing.

Special effects are for the most part very good and there were some enjoyable and exciting moments when I wasn't thinking about the silly context they took place in. Certainly not worth the three hour time and money investment.… Expand

Like Hedonia's elixir in Flash Gordon, doing so will not make you forget, but you won't mind remembering... much.

There are clear demarcations that culminate in "wow" moments which are extremely rewarding. The path taken to bring viewers to those points is littered with details that should have either been expanded or left out entirely. I suspect that is the reason for so many mixed reviews. This is a good film, that could have been marvelous. Ultimately, it took a parade of accomplished actors unceremoniously drowned in loud special effects to keep this from being the, "Ishtar of Space." I liked it more than I hated it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm not entirely sure what movie all the people who gave good reviews watched but it certainly wasn't the Interstellar I saw. This is the advice I gave my friends about it:

Please friends, whatever you do this year take $12 and go see Interstellar....it's worth that much money to see what is probably the biggest, longest, most expensive, piece of **** science fiction movie ever made at this point in history.
The story while initially intriguing has such poor structure, dialog, lack of character and relationship development coupled with so much nonchalant coincidence and plot holes bigger than the miraculous black hole the hero falls into that by the end I was hoping all of the characters would fail and humanity would come to it's richly deserved end. I will not boor you with the details (if you want boring just go see the ponderous thing) and just say that the 2 hours and 55 minutes of Interstellar was the biggest waste of time of my year so far. What a tremendous waste of time, energy, resources and acting talent.… Expand

While I held out hope right until the final frame that the genius others saw would be made manifest - at the end I walked out thinking it was long, tedious and overwrought. Most of all, I couldn't stomach pervasive humanist ideology underpinning the whole narrative - masquerading as philosophy.

The film has lofty goals - tries to soar to the heights of human thought and experience - and fails leaving the viewer empty. We see characters striving for... what? Family love is a theme we can all relate too, yes, and it is used here to reasonable effect; but the narrative is trying to elevate our thoughts to something more... something more mind expanding and striking at the heart of existence itself. And the setting, out in space, is an environment that is well suited to contemplating our own tiny existence and asking big questions like whats the meaning of it all? Questions other films like Prometheus, Moon, and the seminal 2001 dealt with much more effectively (without providing answers of course).

Ultimately, the film poses these lofty questions and then attempts rather ingloriously to insert humanity into the frame as the answer - as if we were some sort of deity which is as absurd as it is meaningless. And the driving motivation of some characters to save the human race, to promulgate the human species - to what end? For what purpose? There is in this film, at it's core, an unexplained emptiness that means it cannot fulfill on the promise of the setting and the sweeping cinematography.

At best, it is average sci-fi trying to legitimize itself in pseudo science and faux humanist philosophy. At worst, and in keeping with one of the film's themes that time is precious...it's 3 hours you'll never get back.… Expand

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

Numerous plot holes, bloated, and self important. I'd give it less of a rating but the visuals are great and the acting is great, so they didn't get everything wrong. But people fall all over themselves to praise anything Nolan touches so it has a good score. I usually like his films, but this was nothing spectacular.

And by the way, anyone who says the "science" is remotely believable is wrong. If you've taken any sort of quantum physics you will know that, as Nolan said, he may have consulted scientists regarding the film, but he sure as hell didn't listen to them. I could have let that slide because that wasn't one of the main reasons I wasn't impressed with this film, but people keep going on about how plausible the science in this movie is. Wrong.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Interstellar shows you a vision of Earth, mankind and the universe. And that's a very rare finding in today's blockbuster industry of remakes and adaptations. Nolan proves (once again) why creativity must not be feared but embraced. Why ideas and dreams must not be kept in silence but explored and discovered. That's how massive and involving this movie is. As big as the universe, running through 169 minutes of intense and gripping storytelling in every frame. Brilliant in every possible way. And with an astonishing soundtrack by Hans Zimmer.… Expand

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

Crying...docking...crying...docking. Yes, scene after scene of people crying - everyone gets a turn - I am totally serious. That adds up to about half an hour.

Then scene after scene of spacecraft docking - another half hour. Why? We're still watching docking scenes of plastic models in 2014? We have robots with AI strolling around in the movie, but to dock we need both Matthew M and Anne H using their little joysticks to dock? Really sad.

Then another half hour of joyless, dull Matt Damon clunking through the story - with no point to it whatsoever in the overall scheme of the movie. Was he a paid product placement? I don't get it.

It picked up at the end, but it's a very large meatball. Oh, I was at least hoping for some cutting edge visuals - nada.… Expand

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

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

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

I have read other reviews addressing the middle portion being slow and boring but the producers of the film had to describe what was going on to a very broad general audience. The average person on the street will not "understand" what the producers are trying to illustrate for a fairly complex concept. The depiction of gravitation lensing on the black hole was very well done. This film is not typical popcorn fair and it makes you think long after the lights come back on in the theater.

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.
