Roughly divided in three parts and taking place not too far away in the future, the story follows the adventures of Cooper, NASA ex-astronaut turned farmer. Cooper lives in Dusty Somewhere, USA, with his two children (Murphy and Tom) and dadRoughly divided in three parts and taking place not too far away in the future, the story follows the adventures of Cooper, NASA ex-astronaut turned farmer. Cooper lives in Dusty Somewhere, USA, with his two children (Murphy and Tom) and dad in law. Mankind destroyed Earth ecosystems and our heroes are facing dire consequences.

Cooper finds “by chance” the secret location of the new NASA and he is immediately assigned the very important mission to retrace some astronauts sent into a wormhole 10 years previously to check some promising planets in another part of the galaxy.

Much as I like Nolan’s films, I found Interstellar the weakest of his production. There are some major plot holes in the script, such as why new NASA does not just call Cooper to guide the new mission instead of waiting for him to “accidentally” stumble upon the super-secret location. The whole first part of the movie feels like wasted time, except for establishing the strong bond between Cooper and Murphy.

We also get plenty of cringe-inducing dialog about love, relativity and gravity and a glued-on happy ending after over 2 hours of extreme gloominess.… Expand

This movie nearly made me cry and I am a man(not being sexist plz no hate)!Why is this movie sooo underrated? Metascore is 74?? This movie is one of the best movies I ever watched, I might even say that its better than Shawshank Redemption. This movie nearly made me cry and I am a man(not being sexist plz no hate)! The plot! It is crazy. I cannot believe anyone had the guts to accept such daring and imaginative writing and turn it into a movie. This movie made me feel both happy and extremely sad at the same time. 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. Yes it does have flaws, there is this one part I thought it was a tiny bit cliche, but still 11/10 for originality and its presentation and plot and characters and sound and everything.… Expand

Although the casting seemed questionable, it works well, and if you can wrap your mind around the physics of the film (and one cannot say the science was flawed; Christopher Nolan had scientist Kip Thorne help him "do the math" and the film was even praised by Neil Degrasse Tyson for its accurate depiction of a black hole), then it will be one jaw-dropping experience.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Quantas questões temos aqui?
Por: Gustavo Talaini

Fascinante, Christopher Nolan construiu um novo clássico de “Science Fiction” que já pode ser comparado com 2001 uma odisseia no espaço de Stanley Kubrick (eu disse comparado). Interstellar explora teorias físicas, dimensões não conhecidas e os sentimentos e emoções dos seres humanos, Nolan faz sua obra mais emocional, mas ainda com tons sombrios e psicológicos, é um dos melhores filmes do ano.

O filme começa com Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) sonhando com seu passado como piloto de nave espacial da NASA e quando acorda relembra que a humanidade está para acabar, a praga atingiu os alimentos que agora estão em escassez, mas a pergunta logo no inicio é: Qual a solução para isso?

“Uma viagem Interstellar em busca de um substituto para o planeta Terra”. Murph (Mackenzie Foy) tem a certeza que um fantasma assombra sua casa. – “Fantasmas não existem – diz seu pai Cooper que é um fazendeiro e ex-engenheiro, mas Murph sabe que tem alguém se comunicando com ela através de códigos morse.

A intensidade do filme aumenta quando durante uma tempestade de poeira (o que era normal) Cooper vê a mensagem misteriosa deixada por tal fantasma assim descobrindo que aquilo na verdade era uma anomalia da gravidade, então através de coordenadas misteriosas deixadas pela anomalia (Em teoria tinha alguém mesmo se comunicando com Murph, o tal “ eles “ seres de outra parte do universo), Cooper descobre uma base secreta da NASA onde encontra Brand (Anne Hathaway), o professor Brand (Michael Caine) e um genial robô; Cooper tinha sido aluno do professor Brand então ele foi “convidado” para salvar o planeta Terra assim tendo que abandonar sua família por tempo indeterminado;Ele aceita.

Em meio a um roteiro espetacular escrito pelo próprio Nolan e seu irmão Jonathan tudo se destaca em Interstellar, a trilha sonora de Hans Zimmer, as grandes atuações do fantástico elenco, os cenários maravilhosos e efeitos especiais brilhantes, mas o principal é o formidável toque de Nolan.

A apresentação de complexas teorias físicas te deixam alienado e mexem com sua mente, os discursos sobre a abrangência do amor, o que ele pode significar para cada individuo são emocionantes (sim essa é uma das palavras que representam Interstellar: emoção); tempo é outra grande questão neste filme, para salvar a humanidade Cooper e sua equipe terão que ir até saturno onde se encontra um buraco de minhoca que os levará para outra galaxia com o objetivo de encontrar outro planeta habitável, o substituto da terra.

Dois anos se passam quando Cooper chega ao buraco de minhoca cujo tem um deslumbrante visual, é incrivel, porém ao chegarem ao primeiro planeta “selecionado”o tempo se alterou na Terra ou seja lá já se passaram 24 anos e Murph agora é interpretada por Jessica Chastain com uma excelente atuação assim como o resto do elenco ( sim tive que repetir isso)

São raros os filmes com três horas de duração que prendem tanta atenção assim, certamente Interstellar ganhará indicações dos Oscars, o tom de realismo de Nolan é imponente, quando se chega nos minutos finais a adrenalina se eleva por conta das reviravoltas (Matt Damon foi uma grande jogada aqui) e as grandes questões começam a ser explicadas de uma forma terrífica.

Resumindo seja você fã de ficção ou não, Interstellar é totalmente imperdível é o filme mais grandioso e ambicioso de Nolan.… Expand

Wrong... Although enjoyable with very beautiful graphics, there were to many small inaccuracies in the story to make it close to a good movie. Interstellar tries to be a serious science fiction space movie, however it chose to ignore many basic rules of physics. At first I was able to see past most of them, but they add up fast. Especially in a movie of this length they also sum up to a very large number.

For me one of the biggest annoyances were the robots in the story. At first I actually thought some idiot edited the movie and replaced all normal/useful/decent robots with the strange unpractical things that are in the movie I saw. But apparently there are intended to look like that (likely because they spend all budget on the beautiful graphics and had no more money for the robots...).

If you read elsewhere that this movie has a very advanced story and is based on complicated science, keep in mind that that is not true! It is a enjoyable movie, but do not expect plausible physics or a deep and advanced story. It is a simple sci-fi movie with a simple story and beautiful graphics (6/10).… Expand

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.… 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

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.

Despite the lengthy three-hour runtime, I didn't mind it a bit this time around, as the film kept me completely engaged from start to finish!

Interstellar has visuals that will blow your mind, has scenes where you think all is lost but the main characters find a way, and characters that you actually end up caring about, since the actors do an amazing job. Also, Interstellar has this side to it, like its own physics, its own ideas of science that are so engaging that you'll immediately want to know more about it, or have a chat about it with your friends. So much better than a cranky old science teacher who doesn't give a s*** about you.

Amazing job, Paramount!

Overall Interstellar Is a epic movie full of epic moments, it just sometimes takes a while to get to them moments, I felt the film I was a tad too long, but at the end it does blow your mind, typical in Nolan films. 9/10

Interstellar might have been one big step for mankind; Christopher Nolan gave us a very authentic representation of what space looks like. Despite, the movie is just a big intellectual theory.

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!… Expand

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To start off, I liked the film. But I felt that there were too many errors in the film.

Firstly the first planet they arrive on is 130% earth's normal gravity and their ship had no real issues with gravity landing and taking off. Yet back on earth they needed a fully built rocket to launch that same ship off into space. Unless I am missing something that is a HUGE error in a Si-fi film.

Secondly the plot becomes very predictable to the point where me and some friends were bouncing around what was going to happen next a basically getting every single point right.

Third, I could not get emotionally attached to the characters, except for the robot which I felt had the best personality in the film. Though for one of my friends the emotional side of the film hit the mark with him, so overall it is hit and miss with the characters.

Overall the film is worth a watch do not expect a massive amount of space scenes but once you have seen the film most people will probably never watch it again as the story is entertaining but very slow if you know what is coming.… Expand

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

It's a shame really, because Interstellar could have been brilliant. For the first hour or so I was fascinated. The visuals were breathtaking, the acting was quite good, and the story seemed to be moving in the direction of mind bending possibilities. It was for these reasons that, at first, it was easy for me to overlook the somewhat contrived sounding explanations that would occasionally intrude into an otherwise smoothly flowing script. After a while, however, it became disconcertingly obvious that the purpose of these very cerebral interludes... was simply to educate the movie viewer. Unfortunately, all of this explaining only served to distract me from the story, and much of what was said struck me as being overstated. Besides! A movie shouldn't have to repeatedly explain itself, right? Movie making is an art form; it calls for finesse and subtlety. In a well-written screenplay, themes are developed gradually, almost imperceptibly, in small increments. Then, at some point along the way, an almost magical "resonance of increments" takes place: at which time the movie viewer arrives at a realization, an "Aha!" moment.
Interstellar gets bogged down in far too many themes, for any one of them to be effectively developed. When the time arrives for an audience "realization," the desired epiphany is simply not forthcoming -- at least, not without the aid of an overly amped up movie score and yet another explanatory passage -- perhaps a soliloquy this time --, to help get the movie viewer over the hump.… Expand

You're on board for the whole ride, despite having some narrative bumps that may bring the movie down for most people. And a final act that left me bittersweet, since there wasnt the emotional gut punch I was expecting.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Nolan brothers mix in real theoretical concepts of astrophysics into the story (singularities, wormholes, time dilation) but also unwisely choose to have the characters banter back and forth these complex ideas in order to prop up a plot with more than a few holes (even for a sci-fi flick). The casting is just okay: McConaughey is riding the high tide he has enjoyed from solid work in "Dallas Buyers Club" and HBO's "True Detective", and has the requisite Texas twang of an astronaut/engineer who is convinced to leave his earthbound family behind in the name of preservation of no less than the entire human race. Anne Hathaway is something a curiosity as an unconvincing astrophysicist, but apparently gets the Nolan 'pass' from her previous work in "The Dark Knight Rises". Then Matt Damon appears later in the film, entirely out of place as a failed mission commander whose motives may or may not be altruistic.

Christopher Nolan has done his youthful homework: there are ideas borrowed from a fanboy's inspirational memories of "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "Solaris". I won't deny some of the film's visuals are stunning and actually effective when it comes time to render an environment as unfathomable as the very center of a singularity inside a cosmic black hole. But no amount of editing can reconcile the back-and-forth of an astronaut trapped inside some theoretical dimension of a singularity (when really he would have been shredded at the event horizon), and the quiet, lonely space on earth of a young daughter's bedroom.

"2001", "Solaris": these films were also laden with big ideas. But they granted the subconsciousness of the audience space to work through very abstract concepts without trying to dictate either clumsy exposition or a Hollywood happy ending.… Expand

Viewers must endure clunky expository dialogue and over-written lines drawled out by McConnaughey that feel like you're watching another one of his car commercials. Despite this, McConnaughey delivers an emotional performance that's consistent with what we've grown to expect from him in recent years. The cinematography is up to scratch but easily trumped by Kubrick in 1968.
Those expecting a thrilling adventure through space will feel hugely let down by the bulk of the movie which consists of people sitting around explaining how the plot makes sense rather than participating in it. The main issue with 'Interstellar' is that it feels disjointed and rushed. Plot turns feel contrived and ultimately frustrating, especially when compared to Nolan's previous masterpiece 'The Dark Knight'. With an ending so rushed, unnatural and overly-sentimental, the film leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth that makes you want to forget the entire thing ever happened.… Expand

It's not that I'm super picky about what amazing tunes should play during my movies. It's just that I don't think they should make me vomit my brain out of my skull. The droning, overbearing-soundtrack featured everyone's favorite instrument: The Dial-tone-xylophone-pipe-organ-flute. This usually hung on one note in a very high pitched whine, or, if you were lucky, it would be featured in a cord that replayed over and over again. Not just replaying though, but getting louder and louder over time, so loud that one might seriously consider burying their face in molten lava, if only to escape the assault on one's ears. So loud that the words the characters are saying can not even remotely be discerned, even in a very high-class theater, with state-of-the-art audio. However, remember, this Soundtrack-for-Masochists was only half the reason the movie sucked.

The other half was bad science, overplayed space-movie-tropes and extremely questionable character decisions.

First we have the blight, it's killing every plant on earth with dirt. Yes ladies and gentlemen, the final blow to humanity will come in the form of a clingy dust that just won't wash away. Why, or how this came to be is never explained, but it's killing all the plants and getting stuck in our lungs, and for some reason it's going to end humanity because everyone seems to have forgotten how to grow indoor hydroponic food like with already do with a number of crops. Also, the blight is somehow, kinda-maybe a biological plague that feeds off nitrogen... or is it dirt? I don't **** know at this point, and the movie doesn't really help you understand if one is causing the other, or if their the same thing, or what.

Add to that, some excruciatingly poor, or at best implausibly unvetted decision making, toss in some random space-madness, and after about the halfway point, the movie became a chore to watch. As Interstellar gets closer to the end, it starts to seem like a contest in a game of "wouldn't it be cool if" before it blessingly concludes with, everything is fine now because of blackholes and gravity, yaay.

Save yourself some money by putting on some headphones and plugging them into a light socket while watching the most contrived and nonsense episodes of Star Trek. If you can't hear half of the dialogue because of the painful whirring in your ears, you have succeeded in simulating Interstellar.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm going to give this a 6. Its a great movie theater experience, but I don't see it having much value when it comes to dvd and bluray. I have mixed feelings.
Pros
The movie is eye candy. Everything looks incredibly realistic. It doesn't even look like CGI. Any astronomy buffs will love this.
Cons
Complicated plot narrative, bad cast, ect. It seems like the writer of this movie was trying to hard to make people think he's smart by using big boy scientific words. He forgot most of the audience aren't PhD physicists and astronomers. I took college astronomy and even I was struggling to keep up. Its Inception in space. Also if you know too much about astronomy, you'll probably like the movie a little less because some things are very illogical. For example, the planets are close to a black hole. They didn't even consider the incredibly high levels of radiation that would be there. No sequel is possible, since they're all sure to have cancer. Also the time relativity theory is a bit off. There is no way time is different between orbiting a planet and being on the surface. The gravity is the same, so time would be too. Also if you get sucked into a black hole, you're going to become human spagetti. The tidal forces would rip you apart. Thats why light can't escape. The gravity is that freaking strong. But no, you SPOILER enter the fifth dimension and teleport back to Saturn and miraculously get spotted and picked up before your oxygen runs out.

Overall I didn't like the story, the score, the actors or much of anything other than the visual effects. See it in theaters or don't see it at all.… Expand

No idea what the characters on the screen were saying a number of times. I have to assume the director decided what they were saying wasn't that important and went for making you feel just like you were there. Which is did a few times because I saw it in a theater with some pretty good sound equipment. McConaughey's excessive perma-tan was distracting too especially contrasted to Hathaway. Not sure HOW he maintained that tan after being on a space mission for years (yeah I get the relativistic time dilation but they were awake, in a ship in space for months according to what the dialog showed). Also not sure why they needed to launch from Earth in a huge multi-stage rocket to get the exact same landing craft up to the rest of the ship that they were later able to use to cruise around and take off from under its own power on a planet with 1.3 Earth gravities.

I felt a bit ripped off that you don't see much of the space ship until long after the launch, no outside shots, just the boosters dropping away shots that we've all seen 1,000 times. Then when you do see it, there's nothing notable about the ships looks. Just kind of ho-hum. They obviously spend the budget on the sound effects and score, which were pretty good.

There's a lot of excessive spinning scenes on the screen to make you dizzy. There was one long sequence near the end of the show that I felt went on a bit longer than it needed.

The plot was ok, premise was ok, dialog (what you could hear of it) was ok except for the mantra they kept repeating over and over (guess that's a mantra's definition), visuals... I don't know, I just wasn't impressed by them, I saw it on a huge special screen but just never had any "oooh! That's cool!" kind of moments. Maybe I've just seen too many science fiction movies and have become desensitized. Just seemed like there should be some memorable scenes visually at some point in the movie.

I'd still say give it a shot, you might enjoy it more than I did. I'd probably not spend the extra bucks to see it in the big special theater screens. Wasn't worth $15 for what you didn't get, unless you're really into movie audio, then you're going to love it. It did do it's job and entertain me for a few hours.… Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I was actually really disappointed in this movie. The acting was poor, storyline was mediocre, and the ending was, for lack of better word, just stupid. The plot took way, way too long to take off.

The plot took way, way too long to take off. I saw it with a friend a few days ago and was asleep for the first thirty minutes. I saw a few people crying in the theater when a character would die and I just didn't understand why. The actors had little to no chemistry and I didn't feel any kind of attachment to the characters like I have in previous Nolan films. Inception is one of my all time favorite movies, and I hear people saying that Interstellar was better, and maybe I missed something while I was sleeping but it came no where close. I learned nothing in this film. No morals, no lessons to be taken away, nothing. It was just nonsense.… Expand

Interstellar might not be Nolan's best film but the sheer brilliance of what he made should not be underestimated. Known for his deep thinking and outside the box ideas, Interstellar might be the deepest one yet.

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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It started out with me thinking this was going to be AWESOME. Yet it ended with a whimper.. It was good but just not great, I predicted how the climax was going to effect the rest of the movie, by about the 2nd hour into the movie. I was a little disappointed but it was not a waste of time either.. A little unsettling to me thou that I could figure the whole movie out..

I am not even sure if the FIRST half hour was even suppose to be in this movie. It had allot of potential but it lost allot of respect from me about 30 mins into the movie when we are introduced into the plot.

A little lame there..… Expand
