Nolan is back....and he's brought Sci-Fi with him...

Rating: Null/10 (4 February 2015)

For the longest time I have found myself debating the state of 'Dark Knight Rises'. I went from my first moment in my local cinema and having my socks blown into orbit by the spectacle and impact it made that, for the longest amount of time I forwent the flaws it contained.
Now I may draw criticism for this but none the less, 'Rises' was not Nolan's finest hour and was the result, I feel, of Nolan's uncertainty to return to the franchise and as the embers, trailing the colossal, Dragoneque flames of 'Inception'. Flitting between loving, hating, loving and disliking 'Rises', I was awaiting 'Interstellar' with baited breath.
The result has answered the question as to weather or not Nolan is back? The answer is an unmistakable yes, many times over.
From the get go the movie gets off to a flying start and the narrative is both fast paced but loses no exposition and momentum. Matthew McConaughey leads up a cast who spend the entire run time of the movie exploring. Be it time, space, knowledge, relationship, loss, family, the unknown or the future, Interstellar has brought an age of science fiction back from the days of old with its thematic style and presentation. Snatches of Kubrick's '2001', Roddenberry's 'Star Trek' and Scott's 'Alien' can be felt like a fresh, clean breeze that Nolan has welcomed on screen. For now, these words review and affirm a true Science Fiction classic in the making and proof that Christopher and Jonathan Nolan are back and have given us, the audience a piece of cinematic wonder for our minds and imaginations to engorge to their hearts content.
