Great sci-fi movies don't need accurate science, just the illusion of science!

Rating: 8/10 (16 November 2014)

I just came back from watching this masterpiece. So, this movie obviously has a specific audience: REAL MOVIE FANS. Not intellectual guys that love to nitpick movies for their scientific accuracy, nor Nolan-haters trying to protect 2001 like the purpose of this movie being to surpass or ridicule 2001 (another masterpiece, by the way). The film does have flaws, but as a whole is nearly perfect.
Thing is, a film with this magnitude can't be fully done without movie licensing and artistic freedom, because the film's main purpose is to convey emotions and awe, not to be a class of worm holes to the spectator. This movie is for the imagination of young astronauts, for people that one day wanted to explore space, even if you couldn't. Nolan tried his best with the realism, why? To create a documentary with a story? NO! To let you believe this could be real, to drag you into this world where imagination can go anywhere, you know it's not real, but hey, there is gravity and time, so maybe something like this could actually be? That is cinema! That is the actual experience! Now, Gravity did similarly but suffered from what I consider poor acting (entirely subjective).
Now, the science, if you try to nitpick, it's full of actual plot holes. Even the environment of the apocalyptic Earth is flawed when closely examined, but like I said, this is not a documentary. The only sinful plot holes are the ones that make a story ridiculous or unnatural, and the story flows greatly throughout this movie.
I wanted to cover that, but this movie has too much to analyze. The acting is OK, it won't win any Oscar. The direction is superior, the script is incredible and the music is magical. The artistic direction had me in an emotional breakdown.
It does have flaws, the most noticeable? The similarities to Inception, including an unnecessary open ending that left me almost hoping for a sequel. But this movie can't have a sequel. It will never be the same. For me the experience it's what counts and I give this a perfect score.
