Nolan's modern 2001: A Space Odyssey

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 2014)

Firstly, I will say that I'm a big fan of Nolan's work and Interstellar copes well with his other titles, perhaps even raises the bar a little bit higher. I'm amazed with the complexity of the ideas in almost all of his movies, and I think this one is the most complex of all. To do this kind of a movie means that you have a good chance that you will make a potential filmmaking suicide. That is why Interstellar triumphs with flying colors. The whole movie idea is so hard to perform that I have to say that I'm blown away with it. When you hear the Nolan has a new film, you know there will be a lot of hype and big expectations around it and that is why this is another great victory for him.
I hear a lot of talk comparing Interstellar with Gravity. It's complete nonsense to even compare these titles as equals. Gravity is a great directed movie with great space scenes, fairly average acting and without any plot, and Interstellar has a great and complex story with a lot better cast and and a emotional flick, making Interstellar a lot better title than Gravity can even dream of being.
When you see the movie, you will realize that it is Nolan's modern version on Kubrick's legendary 2001: A Space Odyssey, more adapted with story and emotions to our time. I have to say that I didn't expect to see a space movie so complex and interesting like the Odyssey, but Interstellar goes right up there. It contains a lot more explanations throughout the movie which makes it easier to understand the story and the idea of it all.
Like I said before, the plot is extremely complex and it requires a lot of attention on details throughout the entire movie, similar to Inception. Acting was superb and McConaughey continues with making great films and great roles in last couple of years, rightfully claiming the very top of Hollywood's A list actors. It is very reassuring to see that when DiCaprio of McConaughey have a new movie, it will be one of the year's best.
What I specially love about this movie is the emotional side of it all, which makes this movie more than the just a complex Sci-Fi that you maybe expected.
I highly recommend that you see Interstellar, certainly one of the best titles you will come across this year (my personal best so far) and enjoy in the latest work of Hollywood's greatest directorial potential. Keep up the good work, Mr. Nolan.....
