Just a great movie

Rating: 9/10 (23 February 2015)

I must say I wasn't sure what to expect before the movie came out. After the spectacle of the last two Batman movies and Inception trailers for Interstellar seemed somewhat confusing. They tried to market it as some sort of Scifi action blockbuster. Well it's not. It's in fact closer to 2001 A Space Odyssey than your generic big budget movie. And it's just great.
Don't get me wrong- it's a big budget Hollywood movie full of clichÃ©s and typical for Nolan twists and turns( and one or two plot- holes...). It's not as fast paced nor as over reliant on special effects as most space based films. It's beautifully shot, with some great acting and a very simple and universal message. And if you pay attention, you will realise that the answer to the whole movie was quite literally given to you in the first 20 minutes.
And what the movie's trying to tell you, I think we already knew- that there's nothing stronger than a bond between a father and daughter. nothing.
I you haven't seen it yet go and watch it. Watch it more than once. It's great.
