Out of this World! Nolan does it again!!

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2015)

The world is changing. And it's changing for the worst. Crops are dying. Food-crisis is taking over the interests in technology. "People don't really want engineers but farmers" as one powerfully states. Throwing away hefty share of funds in scientific research & space missions are no more concern of priority. So, NASA is forced to go underground. Human race has the fear to lose its existence, sooner than we believe. One of most intelligent minds at the premise (the veteran Michael Caine) opens up, "We are not meant to save the world. We are meant to leave it".
Decoding Christopher Nolan's mesmeric & equally mystifying world of gigantic prospects irrespective of time & place (mostly space in this case) is the trickiest job for any common movie-watcher like me. So coming up with a proclamation like 'I am fully done with it", is nothing but a steep example of audaciousness! I wouldn't dare! An Ex-NASA pilot Cooper (Played by Matthew McConaughey) is now a farmer with two of his kids & an old father to deal with. Some strange events and his exploratory eyes to see things in their scientific orientation lands him to a space-mission responsibly designed to locate possible rescue-stations in outer world to reinstate mankind in space-colonies. And then starts the tremendously amazing expedition filled with moments of fear, panicky situations, killing betrayals and affecting insights about life.
INTERSTELLAR is a 2hour 50min long canvas of a highly competent & thoroughly manipulative mind called Nolan. He cleverly makes you resting with the most vividly done human emotions in a very enigmatic way and then knocks you off with the layered plots revealing in the most outrageous manner. No wonder if in the first half, you only wait for the 'Nolan-effect' (earned authoritatively after the extravagant thriller 'INCEPTION') to come and squash & squeeze you from left, right and center, the second half does the needful in more ways than you would imagine. With an astonishing camera-work and persuasive background score by Hans Zimmer, INTERSTELLAR takes you through galaxies, planets with extreme climates, grasping black holes and radiant light patterns falling over various space-objects like some ravishing fireworks in the sky.
INTERSTELLAR fills you with a magnanimous feeling of being in a celestial world that is enticing to the core, unbelievably real and assertively sharp. Traveling through different time-zones and the race against time to save humanity creates an effervescent, tensed yet disturbingly calm mood to be felt much longer. McConaughey's rigidly in skin characterization gives film a strong reason to watch. Watch him going through the video messages from his family on earth over the period of 23 long years or him leading the space-expedition with total conviction, he dons the hat of a skilled performer in both. Anne Hathaway as Cooper's fellow explorer doesn't impress much though it is not a wasted performance. Jessica Chastain in the role of Cooper's daughter shines. Matt Damon's is a shocking surprise best left undisclosed much.
With a much longer duration, your past gratifying tryst with Alfonso Cuaron's masterstroke GRAVITY and the astronomical usage of science terminology, film might incite killing impatience in you but just have faith in Chris Nolan and his successive idea to shock, thrill & stun you, despite all odds! INTERSTELLAR is hugely rewarding, considerably relevant, fearlessly inventive, sensitively thrilling and the best you can do with the storytelling and technology amalgamation!
