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

It is a long film, but I was engrossed for the whole film. The cinematography, special effects, acting and sound are all spot on and it reminded me of 2001 in scale and sonically. I think the robots may be a nod to the black monoliths in 2001 helping the cast push further and further into space. If you're a sci-fi fan, don't miss this! It is a long film with quite a complex plot (that does hang together and doesn't fall apart like Gone Girl) and is one of the best films I've seen in years for the spectacle and pulling off a complex plot very well.… Expand

As a physicist I have to say this movie is really nicely done. While in many science fiction movies I get easily annoyed about the scientific inveteracies and just plainly wrong depictions of physics, in this movie I was entirely satisfied. IAs a physicist I have to say this movie is really nicely done. While in many science fiction movies I get easily annoyed about the scientific inveteracies and just plainly wrong depictions of physics, in this movie I was entirely satisfied. I read somewhere that the director of the movie had a real scientist advise him on many matters of the story and filming and they even used real formulas to calculate some of the special effects and visuals in the movie (the black hole sphere for example). The story of the movie is maybe not everyones cup of tea, but I can't give any negative points there, it was still good enough. It is worth to watch that movie in cinema.… Expand

That's truly amazing since the movie is almost 3 hours long, and I had to go about one hour into the movie. Matthew M. shows he really is a good actor. Anne Hathaway can look good without makeup and uses her eyes to act. I didn't know where Jessica C. came in, but once she appeared, another great performance for her career. This is also a great movie for scientist and astronaut want-to-bees, although some of what I learned will still need to be explained to me. The ending won't be liked by everyone, but it suits the theories that this movie posed until it reached the conclusion. We really don't know much about anything but our world, and even then, we still don't know our world completely (volcanoes, hurricanes, center of the earth, etc.) Extremely educational in a very entertaining manner. The director used his imagination well!… Expand

A beautiful movie that while exploring the deep areas of science fiction, simultaneously explores humanity, love, family and what it means to be a human being on earth.

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

Christopher Nolan's science-theory space adventure epic Interstellar takes the auteur's brand of epic to a whole new level. An ambitious marriage of astrophysics (thanks to Producer Kip Thorne) & just the right amount of wonder, this might just be Nolan's Magnum Opus. Featuring his trademark mind-bending twists & turns, time & time again he keeps the similar tricks feeling fresh because he never pigeonholes himself into the same genre & subject matter.
There certainly must be something to his "one project at a time" philosophy. With it he has established himself as the most consistent blockbuster filmmaker in Hollywood, & the studios trust him enough to let him develop original films with enormous budgets. In the Hollywood climate of adaptations & brand building, Nolan is an anomaly. He also has the respect of his colleagues. Just a few of the filmmakers who have come forward to endorse Interstellar include Paul Thomas Anderson, Edgar Wright, & Quentin Tarantino. Undeniably, part of their endorsement is because of the love of film cinema that they share with Nolan. He filmed Interstellar entirely with 35mm and 70mm IMAX cameras, & consistently rejects the idea of switching to digital cameras, whilst the studios & production companies have long ago made up there minds. But Nolan uses his leverage to help keep celluloid alive in the industry. Interstellar was released only into theaters that could still project film two to three days before any digital theater.
Nolan clearly has an undying love for what cinema stands for, & Interstellar is his most astounding example of this yet. This time he has used the trust he's gained to truly outdo himself. Whether it's presenting complex scientific & theoretical concepts in the story or strapping an IMAX camera to the front of a Learjet, Interstellar pushes all of the limits. Nolan has crafted a timely, thoughtful, & visually brilliant film that is arguably his most cerebral & undoubtedly his most emotional. This will come as a welcome surprise to those that have long accused Nolan's films of being emotionally cold. Such is not the case here.
At the heart of the film is a father-daughter story that had me emotionally invested almost as quickly as Pixar's Up. The beating heart of the emotions lie in standout performances across the board; the genuine portrayals & intimate characterizations ground the entire film with necessary sentiment & well timed humor. Fueling the carefully crafted visuals & emotions is Hans Zimmer's beautiful, visceral, & emotive score. As promised, Zimmer abandoned many of the techniques he has used, & been lampooned for, in his past collaborations with Nolan, to a much fresher & sublime effect.
Interstellar is ultimately a film that revels in the simple idea that we are here, & how amazing it is that we have the ability to wonder, contemplate, & actually understand the way the cosmos works. The film begs to question mankind's level of investment in it's own ingenuity & ability to pioneer. Unlike Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, which focuses on the frailty of humanity & lacks any form of sentimentality, Interstellar puts its full faith in mankind & harvests many meaningful thoughts about humanity's role on earth & among the cosmos.
The film is personal to me because in the year leading up to it, I have been striving to become more scientifically literate & environmentally conscious through such means as Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey. Just as in a socially cognizant society, there is no room for anti-intellectualism or ignorance in the world of Interstellar. Perhaps the greatest role this film could play is in promoting science consciousness & curiosity among audiences that could hopefully bleed through into society as a whole. That may be dreaming big, but the reality of humanities current situation certainly didn't go unnoticed by anyone involved with the production of Interstellar, nor should it the viewer.
It may be a work of fiction, but the environmental apocalypse scenario presented in the film is no less feasible & frightening in the real world than it is in the film’s plot; undeniably more so. Sure Interstellar takes a few creative liberties, especially towards the end, but it gets a vast majority of the science correct, & plays joyfully in the sandbox of theoretical possibility.
It's very hard for anyone to walk away from this film questioning the legitimacy of the events that take place in the film, especially if you are fan of other fantastical Hollywood films. Just the mere fact that the film is largely based off of Newton's laws of physics & Einstein's laws of relativity should be impressive. Alas, at 2 hours & 49 minutes chocked full of complex concepts, there are certainly those who may check out at a certain point. But they would be remiss to not feel the impact of the finale. For any serious moviegoer/science enthusiast, Interstellar is a noble achievement & spiritual experience.… Expand

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". It looked stunning and sold the spatial aspect, but had a much more involved story. This is easily one of the most beautiful pieces of cinema i have ever seen.… Expand

And Hans is not behind, he developed an Oscar deserving score that fits perfect for each great scene.
The synopsis is nothing compared with the film, here Chris takes our hand and take us into an unforgettable trip to discover what's beyond us together with the characters. It's incredible the surprises that Chris can gave us and as always it is absolutely impossible to say the ending for every movie he mades. Such a petty that the Academy do not recognize Sci-Fy films beyond the technical awards. Best Picture of 2014 without doubt!… 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

Interstellar is a 3 hour long Sci-Fi/Action/Drama directed by Christopher Nolan staring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway. The acting from the main cast was amazing, everyone felt like they had a strong connection. I found this movie extremely imaginative and eye opening, It covers some subjects few to no movies have ever cover before. The base of the story without giving away to much is Earth is unable to produce enough food and Humans are forced to explore for other planets.Even with a run time of 3 hours Nolan does a great job at delivering those emotional gut punches and breath taking scenes that pull you right back in. The run time can feel a bit long and I do feel like Nolan could have shaved off a few minuets. Sadly there was a few plot holes as well, almost like Nolan was piecing it together near the end and makes the last few minutes seem detached from the rest of the film.
Those minor gripes aside, Interstellar is a phenomenal film that showcases amazing CGI and practical effects to bring you truly immersive experience. A movie like this is best experienced for yourself and will be even more enjoyable if you can walk into this movie not seeing any trailers.

This is one of the best films I've seen in 2014 and will keep me thinking for awhile.… Expand

Despite an expanded category than now could have 10 nominations to account for big blockbusters like this, one of the best pictures of the year was not among them. Why? Interstellar is a great movie. It is the reason we go to watch movies. It isn't some popcorn flick you go watch to kill time on the weekends, it is a deep, epic space that you want to see opening night and it is that good. It has elements from everything, from the epic special affects and feel of space of Gravity, to a strong and heartfelt love story of a man and his daughter. It missed on some stuff, sure, some of the dialogue wasn't perfect and it wasn't as full of an ending as it could have been, but it did something very movies did nowadays, it aimed huge. It might not have quite measured up to its massive expectations, but it tried and you could feel it in an epic way you'll never get from a marvel movie, or even an Indie. This was a great movie, and this is how big blockbusters should be made. With passion and talent unmatched, Christopher Nolan has made something incredible. A classic.… Expand

The love in this movie felt genuine, not a mere Hollywood ingredient. Normally a movie about escaping the Earth that we have destroyed would make me sigh at the unrealism of such a vision, but that difficulty was acknowledged gracefully before the movie soared off into its exuberant flight. As in life, nothing is one dimensional, nothing is simply distant or simply close, nothing is done and dealt with. The "bad guy" is just a regular flawed man who unwittingly helps more than he ever could by being a good guy; love animates the characters' actions even when it is twisted. This is a deep and deeply moving movie that carries itself with great grace. Where it has to borrow it does so respectfully; where it has to bend realism it does so with narrative elegance and an eye on the deeper things. I'd say it's of the best science fiction movies there is.… Expand

Interstellar has all the stuff that's needed for becoming a real legend. Great visuals, interesting character design and a fascinating story. If you like movies like "2001:A Space Odyssey" then you will love Interstellar.

Interstellar is slightly disappointing for a Nolan film with a problematic story, but is still a very good film.

I was simultaneously disturbed and enthralled by the entire thing. The simplicity of the early scenes made the movie that much better because you could feel that some serious stuff was going to happen later on and Christopher Nolan was just teasing you with some early run of the mill exposition. That being said, the story line was pretty horrendous. The movie was 3 hours long, but it felt unbelievably rushed. An epic story like this should have been a ten hour affair, seriously. It needs that much time in order to develop properly since the scale is so large and the story so dense. The transition between the exposition and the rising action was particularly awful. The way they present the 'premise' of the mission was down right bad. The movie just didn't flow like it should have, and there were lots of mistakes in the script. Some of the dialogue between the astronauts is also really terrible. They speak in astronomy buzz words that excited teenagers might use in a intro to space high school class. But despite the story, Its an amazing movie which deserves to be watched many times in order to experience the sheer awe of the special effects. But beware, because the special effects are actually pretty frightening at points!… 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

The storm of love and hate Interstellar has gotten since its release, and the hype it generated before it tells more about the stubborn fanbase Nolan has than his films. Interstellar, although far from the comparisons with 2001: A SpaceThe storm of love and hate Interstellar has gotten since its release, and the hype it generated before it tells more about the stubborn fanbase Nolan has than his films. Interstellar, although far from the comparisons with 2001: A Space Odyssey, shares with the Kubrick movie the feeling that the story is not really about space.

People have complained about plot holes. There are some, pretty clearly, and a physicist would tell you those plot holes make the movie completely unbelievable, but some of the theories presented in Interstellar have no reason not to be possible. Anyway, this is not Discovery Channel, so we should just enjoy what we see and not dig much further away from the screen.

Matthew McConaughey really has hit a positive streak this last couple of years, and his acting here is perfectly on pitch, together with Jessica Chastain's. Unfortunately I can't say the same for Anne Hathaway, or Matt Damon. Or Wes Bentley.

The effects have some weird flaws that only appear sometimes during the movie, in certain scenes - the CGI there looks from 20 years ago, but then goes back to modern-looking in the next scene. The cinematography is not spectacular like it could have been, especially since the majority of the movie takes place either inside the spaceship or on Earth, so that wouldn't have been so expensive to achieve.

All in all, a very interesting plot (if you forget about the actual science) and an excellent performance by McConaughey, but on the technical side it falls a bit short. And by the way, I cannot understand for the world why the Oscars snub this while last year Gravity (a much dimmer, more ridiculous, and essentially uglier movie) managed to win 7. Maybe Nolan doesn't deserve Best Director, and Interstellar doesn't deserve Best Picture, but this movie is light years ahead of Gravity - pun intended.… Expand

Interstellar is a mediocre Nolan movie. Mediocre is harsh, but a mediocre Nolan is light-years (pun intended) beyond most other movies. There isn't another director out there that makes me as excited to see a movie as Nolan. Enjoy the ride, we have to wait 2 more years for another Nolan movie.… Expand

Every time you get excited about the physics and quantum mechanics in the movie, its pushed in the background.

Its a little hard to describe without spoiling anything, but all i can say is, don't expect a sci-fi movie, expect something else and be surprised by the space you get to see.

Following from his previous film 'The Dark Knight Rises', Nolans latest project is about finding another planet and galaxy that can sustain life, as earth is dying. I believed it needed more detail on why/how the earth is dying, it gives you some information, but not enough to be justifiable for me personally. The plot and dialog is interesting, with some great moments, but i reckon dragged on a bit too long than it needed to be. The plot is also rather complex than it needed to be, with it being difficult to follow at times, but it did have a lot of interesting ideas. Matthew MoConaughey had an absolute great performance, with also some great acting from Anna Hathaway and Mackenzie Foy. This is a ambitious project, and while Nolan did have a lot of great ideas and did really well with the movie, the execution of it wasn't perfect, the ideas were there but struggled to put it on the big screen.

That’s not to say Interstellar is a bad film, oh god no, for the amount you pay to go and get a cinema ticket you could do a lot worse right now.

It's mainly suffers due to a few of the usual Nolan tropes and some fairly big plot holes and story elements that aren’t explained too well and the fact that several shots look like they were ripped directly from 2001 a space odyssey… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a new '10 Point Scale' rating system based on 10 important aspects of a film which is crucial for a fair assessment. It's a structured way to rate films rather than just randomly putting in a number. And, the first film to be rated on this is the film 'Interstellar' which gets an overall rating 7/10 according to the format.

1) Direction: 6/10

Direction is all about having control over your audience i.e. the control to guide them to your vision. It’s a summation of the essential skillsets to engage and disengage your viewers. The success of a film is totally dependent on how a director exerts control. In Interstellar, it seems to be in control in parts but every now and then things go out of hand. There are some great build ups and every time we expect it to blossom into something it falls flat on its face. Some of the B-plots which starts to build up nicely are just left unattended at the end. The plot involving Cooper’s son and his family is a glaring example of the same and if it’s not so important they why build it up in the first case. There isn’t even a note of conclusion or ambiguity in there. At the end, Nolan seems to have taken the easy way out by making his audience happy with an end they’re satisfied with. But isn’t it going against the whole idea of control when you let your audience decide the outcome rather than you doing it as the director?

2) Philosophy/Vision/Idea/Subtext/Metaphors/Easter Eggs: 4/10

Okay, we get it ‘love is beyond time or dimension’. But is there any way you can make it a little more subtle? And, if you call this an idea or a philosophy then how is it different to millions of other films about love? Mr. Nolan you need to think more rather than just quote lines from Dylan Thomas poetry book for an intellectual effect.

3) Does it move you emotionally? 9/10

Yes it moves you emotionally and it has been done well. Christopher Nolan has successfully upped the emotional stakes in this film. There was a backlash in Inception for low emotional stake and he’s definitely worked on this. It shows in the film. These scenes are intense whether it’s nail biting action or a sad scene which chokes your throat.

4) Unity: 6/10

By unity it means if the film is uniform with recurring motifs and parallelism, or not. Interstellar, unfortunately is low on a uniform experience scale even though there are some recurring themes of love. But it’s not consistent enough in action because Nolan brings in some heavy handed scientific theories to stitch it and nobody gets it.

5) Is it Poetic (Realistic/Formative)? 5/10

Adding a line from one of the greatest poets doesn’t necessarily make the film poetic. Poetry is derived from the experience of the film combined with the ideas and philosophy hidden as a subtext. So, is this a space film about love just to show that love’s beyond time and space? Seriously! Mr. Nolan, getting it scientifically correct doesn’t mean that it’s realistic enough, forget it being poetic.

6) Screenplay/Writing: 4/10

It is perhaps the worst screenplay by the Nolans. First, character motivations are plain stupid for most for e.g. nobody knows what Cooper’s son or Dr. Mann are motivated by and why do they act in a negative way. By ‘nobody knows’ it don’t mean that facts weren’t mentioned in the film; rather it’s a thing about developing characters where it never picks up. You don’t relate to the characters, especially Dr. Mann. Secondly, the plots are all over the place and it adds to confusion rather than creating a unified experience. Also, it’s clear that Nolan tried his best to avoid an ending in disunity and in the process rips this film of its credibility or thought. Plot twists don’t come out organically and it seems forced. Some of the dialogues are decent involving the computer but rest remains pedestrian.

7) Acting: 9/10

Acting is great in this film and it helps create those intense scenes. Mcconaughey's good but not sure if it’s an Oscar winning performance.

8) Editing: 9/10

Editing is slick and it helps create those moments you’ll remember this film for. The parallel action of the rotating space craft with the drama in earth is worth noting. It had the audience holding on to their seats tight. Also, the pace slows down very effectively to heighten the emotional scenes.

9) Cinematography: 9/10

Cinematography is great and almost everyone loved the use of different aspect ratios for different scenes; not sure what purpose was?. The overall cinematography is great and it does give you the feel of 2001 experience at times.

10) Sound: 9/10

Great sound always helps in creating a great experience. The dialogue, sound effects were spot on and music in Nolan films is always great.

To conclude, this film is a great effort but it required that little bit of ‘thought’ and ‘time’ to grow in the writing stage but it comes out underdeveloped much like Caesarian.… Expand

Interstellar is considered one of the best science fiction movies even if it's not that good for many people and i am one of them .
i am going to try to illustrate and criticize what i didn't like about the movie and how it could be better .Interstellar is considered one of the best science fiction movies even if it's not that good for many people and i am one of them .
i am going to try to illustrate and criticize what i didn't like about the movie and how it could be better .
Most of people who didn't like the movie because they really didn't understand it and what happens through the movie ,it needed some how some more illustrations for why would this happening since most of the people are unfamiliar with modern physics and this film depended a lot on so many physical concepts like special and general relativity and the singularity and the worm hole concept and the string theory and a lot of quantum physics .
But actually those who are familiar with physics also didn't find it very good like me.
first of all most of the physics in the film are made in the 20th century and this movie is supposed to be in the future and they still don't depend on any of what was discovered even in the 21th century nothing that was really new , but it has it's advantages as not to make some wrong viewing for it so it was OK, the second thing is that most of what happened in the movie is a very well known examples for special relativity so most of those who read about it before know what will happen very well in every situation they are going to do, so it loses its complexity and weirdness .which make it a very boring movie it will be like watching a documentary about special relativity.
So now let's go for the explanation of the movie the movie's story is very simple actually but Nolan combined it with other complex and unfamiliar concepts for people.
In the beginning of the movie they were showing how the earth in the future became a horrible place that no one will be able to live in it and scientists lost hope in earth so they are trying to find another planet to leave on and that's was by finding the air plane which was hacked by Matthew McConaughey to get the information of the astronauts who were sent to find a new home on other planet and they will never come back, and after that they find information in to murphy's room which was done by gravity to give them the code to find the space center and here's some how there is some contradictions in the following event that after the space center offering him to go as a pilot and then there was a message sent to tell him to stay and not to go( i will explain why there's a contradiction at the end).
first there were some message sent for them to tell them that there is a life on one of the planets by another crew so they went there the only unclear part until this moment was the wormhole part and why it's like that and it was explained in the movie but in incorrect way that they said it's in 3D while the space is in 2D i don't know how even they said this, of course this is theoretical concept only and it's not proved y et but it's okay actually the space is in 3D but since it's very wide we consider it as 2D space but in the worm hole the space takes some sort of cylindrical shape which make you see the space very near to you that seems to be 3D of space as they said since the space is like a ball so it's like a cylinder that connects the two ends for the ball.
then when they went for the planets where there's huge wave actually i don't know how they didn't know about this with all of the technology they are having it's clear that as the gravity increases the tides will increase and the gravity increases since they are near to a black hole which have a very high gravity tends to infinity and due to this the high tides of water waves happen on this planet and here comes Einstein's special relativity to take place and it's considered to be the most important physical concept in this movie it's about time dilation actually and how the time changes from system to system according to their speed relative to the speed of light so as the system goes faster the time began to go slower in this system that's why when they were back to the ship they found their partner older by so many years.
I think that the rest of the film until before he goes in the black hole is understandable .
actually at the part of the black holes a lot of people were fooled to think that this is actually what McConaughey saw in the black hole of course not since when he is in the black hole he moves in a very high speed equals to or may be greater than the speed of light so of course he won't be able to see any since he is moving with the speed of light so how he will see any thing it's just a view of what around him not the light actually.
After going through the black hole there is nothing to deal with science at all, all of this was Nolan's imagination to go in the fifth dimension OK we can say that if you exceeded the speed of light you will be in the fifth dimension and you will see the other four dimensions and control them of course you will see every single moment in time as a picture not a video because the time has no effect… Expand

Stunning visuals and an epic score from Zimmer sets the foundation for an epic movie, but the poor story makes me want to laugh instead of cry. And when we are talking about laughing; how did the robots get pass the drawing board? The movie started off great, and I bought the whole end of the world setting, but i just couldn't swallow the 5th dimension - gravity from the future,inside a black hole plot. Nolan also gives way to much screen time for the two female characters struggling with their love life, and too little to the I should save the world or my kids theme. The trailer promised me an epic movie about interstellar travel, not sentimental drama about long-distance relationships.

I guess I´m the odd one out since everybody else seems to love this movie. Please explain to me how you can let this poor writing get 10/10?… Expand

I did finally begin to feel involved in the final hour when the movie juxtaposes events on earth with events in space. I found that quite engrossing. There were some surprise cast members I had not known about and that was fun. I sort of enjoyed the last hour, but it involved concepts way beyond my comprehension. So I just had to go with the emotions the actions generated. Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway are great as the two astronauts who are risking everything to save the human race. Although, actually, earth is doomed and their Plan B would be to colonize another planet with embryos that are somehow supposed to grow into human beings. Anyway, I have to say that when it comes to space movies, I enjoyed "Gravity" much more. And, frankly, "Alien" and "Aliens" are more my space movie cup of tea. So suit yourself on this one. But, I do not recommend it. Alright, alright, alright! Sorry, MM!… Expand

times that he may begin to believe it too much. Such is the case with Interstellar's convoluted story with many holes. Of course, a good way to make a viewer become more accepting of the premise is to throw "gargantuan" special effects and make the movie 1/2-45 minutes too long. The viewer gets tired and is more accepting, simply wishing for it to be over.

Nolan spends too much time setting up Matthew McConaughey and the family. This could have been done in 1/4 of the time which would have afforded more time to fill in blatant holes which dominate this movie.

Nolan's second mistake was to create a near philosophy faux academic undercurrent which also went on far too long. Do you think he's a genius? I think he has an imagination and big budget to fill it with. I do not think his story is at all profound though. One does not need to be a physicist to see how far concepts such as singularity and black holes have been stretched; and stretched to the point of being ludicrous.

The ending (without spolier) made very little sense as it was not adequately explained how McConaughey's character not only survived but arrived where he was, or even where exactly he was, or even how "others" got there.

It is as if Nolan was determined to confuse people even more than "Inception" did.

I enjoyed the movie nonetheless. I do not think it greatness. I think it to be big budget and reflective of such.

I did not stay for the credits because I was ready to get out of the theatre after such a long time but I am sure that the Music was Hans Zimmer. The themes were underdeveloped (which seems to be a trademark nowadays of Zimmer). His harmony is simplistic to the point to lacking for. Worst of all is that the music is way too loud and covers up dialogue frequently.

Moviemakers need to approach mixing a soundtrack on the basis of not having every line in the script memorized and then need to ask themselves if they can hear every word. Perhaps then mixes would be better. Nor, again, was the music of any substance to demand such priority.… Expand

This movie was thoroughly thought out and must have taken a great deal of creativity and research. A large deal of the negative reviews for this movie are pointing out scientific "inaccuracies". I can understand how someone who strongly believes in a certain theory may dislike the claims this movie, but those claims are what make this movie wonderful. Space is impossible to truly comprehend, No human has ever been through a wormhole, nor inside a black hole therefore they cannot judge Nolan's theories of these things for they can only attempt to dispel them with theories of their own.… Expand

The concept is complex but just doesn't leave the viewer asking questions for months to come. The run-time is indeed very long but isn't what holds the movie back. The performances by the cast including the incredible Jessica Chastain and Oscar winners Mathew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway are great but not as memorable as one might expect except for maybe Mconaughey. It's complex and emotional and has a great meaning but just not there with the classics, similar to Nolan's last effort The Dark Knight Rises its enjoyable and is definitely worth watching but just doesn't hit the bar that is where we know a Nolan film can go.… Expand

Great movie. My favorite. People that don't like this are just too simple minded. Go back to school and learn astrophysics. This is a powerful movie. The metacritic critics have no brains by giving interstellar a 74

The visual effects are astonishing! It was so glorious to look at! However, I found the plot to be confusing at times but the father/daughter relationship was really well done and I was emotionally invested in the two.

Actually this amazes me since it’s not such an easily digestible movie. You can feel your mind heavy after it, full of thoughts, ideas like after a “spiritual workout”. Well documented facts about space, black holes, and possibilities about different dimensions are blended in with the struggles of the normal human limitations.

I loved the acting and the cast. The special effects were really impressive. I recommend this movie in a nice setting, when you have at least some hour’s free time - with nothing major on your mind – best for weekend. You will find out why.… Expand

The biggest flaws lie in the acting. Matthew McConaughey looked like he was having a stroke every time that he cried, and when Matt Damon cried, it was also very unrealistic. I also did not enjoy some of the visual effects, as some (like the docking sequences) looked like kids playing with toys. I really also feel that the ending was sort of rushed, like they were getting too close to three hours, so they had to cut it off. There are many positives to this film, however. Jessica Chastain, who I do not usually enjoy, delivered a really good performance. The score by Hans Zimmer was amazing. I also loved some of the scientific explanations given. I did not see a lot of the twists that came in the plot, and that is unusual. Overall, this enjoyable film has its flaws and strengths, and deserves a watch from everyone.… 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

Even with enormously ambitious ideas and a overwhelming score beautifully composed by Hans Zimmer, this dazzling but flawed science fiction film suffers from lots of ''In-Your-Face'', expository dialogue and other forms of explination, plot holes and inconsistencies throughout the whole movie where this reaches an all-time high at the end, which is contrived and almost impossible to make sense out of.

Interstellar is a fun and entertaining movie, but definitely doesnt deserve the immense praise it is getting, because it is ultimatly a very flawed film. (Like C'Mon it's in the higher end of the top 50 on IMDb)?… Expand

The Prestige, Inception and TDKR all had plenty of WTF moments (such as the crew formulating plans on board the ship rather than preparing in advance), sure, but you can forgive them because the rest is so good. Not so here. The story absolutely fell apart at the end for me and those moments I refer to can’t be redeemed. The film could still have been saved if it looked spectacular – but to me it just looked really, really bland! The two planets they visit are feature the dullest looking vistas imaginable – endless sea and endless snow. The space exterior scenes were completely lacking in awe or majesty. The camera always seemed to cut away too quick. On the plus side, I enjoyed MMs performance and I really enjoyed the time bending aspects of the story when they visit the first planet. Overall this was a wasted opportunity.… Expand

Visuals are one of the most stunning effects I have ever seen on screen! The Gargantua (the Black hole), planets, Endurance (the space ship), and that water mountain, aka the Wave, that was the best scene in the movie! So if you want to watch it, you need to see it in IMAX!… Expand

Where Nolan had to keep it interesting, he didn't, which is why I have mixed feelings. And the movie is waaay to long for me.
