A great piece of cinematic experience!

Rating: 8/10 (28 January 2015)

Nolan's latest is an epic science fiction drama on space travel that will make your brain freeze for some time! However, it is marred with a melodrama, Nolan is not a champion of. Earth has lived off its resources and is on brink of collapse, when Cooper (McConaughey) accidentally discovers a gravitational anomaly and lands himself at a secret NASA site, which appears odd altogether. Thereon Cooper sets on a space exploration, with little hopes of returning back. Till the exploration begins, the movie has a curious wait and frankly it stretches too far. The most interesting part is the space exploration with a spectacular imagery, VFX and screenplay. Nolan manages to pull off a highly captivating second half refusing to let us think anything else. The directorial imagination is one of the best which completes a scientist's dilemma's in a fictional manner. The performance and background score makes the movie even more exciting. However, Interstellar misses a 9/10 because of juxtaposing melodrama with science fiction. Hugely inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey, Interstellar does not come close to being a classic like it. Interstellar does makes us feel inspired and bewildered at the scope of mankind imagination and the mysterious cosmos. The concept of 5-dimensional quantum mechanics involving time and gravity has been explained in a remarkable fashion and makes you connected to the plot at all times. Nolan is himself the story-writer of Interstellar. The movie ends in an identical manner to Inception, where two separate stories are intermixed with a thrilling conclusion. Nevertheless, this is truly a great piece of work!
