Interstellar Review (2014)

Interstellar 

 

  I now take time to review the most anticipated movie of the year as a massive Christopher Nolan fangirl. 

  Nolan takes us to planets we've never been before with this incredible ambitious masterpiece about the bonds of love through time and space. 

   Nolan's decision not to use lots of CGI makes for one of the most beautiful films I've seen since James Cameron's Avatar. The sets are big, the planets are gorgeous and then being taken back to remote earth provides such a cool contrast in color and richness. 

  Let's also talk about Hans Zimmer's score. Just wow. The atmospheric beauty of the organ and unorthodox sound mixing may even win him an Oscar.

  Matthew McConhaughey, Jessica Chastain, Anne Hatheway, Michael Caine, and everyone else do excellent in their roles, really masterfully creating that emotional bond between audience and character. A few times I even felt myself tearing up during the heart-tugging scenes.

  Christopher Nolan takes huge concepts like time relativity, gravity, wormholes, and black holes, and really explains them in a way that is engaging. 

  Like most of Nolan's movies, Interstellar is intensely complex and if you miss something, you may be confused for the rest of the movie. Some of the science talk may bore casual movie goers, and Nolan's crazy, ambitious, twilight-zone-like ending might leave some people feeling unsatisfied. Regardless of what you end up thinking at the end of the movie, it is (A Must See). Love it or hate it, this movie will be talked about for coming years. 5 out of 5 stars.
