You Go Christopher Nolan

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2015)

Great Christopher Nolan movie. Great science theories. Great special effects.
Interstellar had enough science for science-geeks to love it and enough drama for any movie-geek to love it. In other words, this movie tailors to all audiences. The science was sound enough where if you did not think about it too hard, it made sense. But, like any futuristic and unrealistic movie, there were the inevitable paradoxes such as how Cooper was able to find coordinates from lines on the floor and how TARS was able to relay coordinates for the watch for Murph to get her to the fifth dimension if TARS got the coordinates from Murph herself in the first place.
I only have three problems with this movie. One of which is that the sound was terrible. I understand that there is no noise in space and that the roar of an engine would be louder than people talking, but for movie purposes it is obvious that I would need to what Matthew McConaughey is saying rather than hearing what the engine sounds like. The other problem occurs when Anne Hathaway said something along the lines of "love transcends through different dimensions". This movie was holding up so well, and then Brandt said this cliché, girly line that completely undermined the hard-core woman she came off as. It might have been better if Cooper had said it because then audiences would have thought that it was so cute that a father would be saying this about his children and clearly he loves his children etc. Feminists everywhere gave a disappointed sigh when the only girl a galaxy away wanted to jeopardize the mission for love. The third problem is the title because it is a misnomer. "Stellar" means stars so the title means that people would be traveling between stars when in reality they traveled between galaxies. Thus, a more accurate title would be "Intergalactic" even though it does not sound as cool as the actual movie title.
This movie is on the short-list for an Academy Award which does not surprise me because it has just enough drama for it to be considered for an Oscar and just enough science for it to be awesome. I hope it wins if it does receive a nomination. This was a great Christopher Nolam movie and I applaud him for his new ideas. In the midst of movie reboots, sequels, prequels, and remakes this movie was desperately needed.
