Nolan's ambition

Rating: 7/10 (16 December 2014)

After watching and processing interstellar I realize that it is a good film. First, the Acting: good performances all around. Second, Driecting: Nolan does have good control of mise en scene and has a clear vision, Third: the screenplay does have some problems, and though I liked the science they used, they kinda throw that away when Cooper is in the black hole. The story is pretty good and I like the father/daughter relationship being highlighted but it is at the expense of the son who I feel is not really needed and is used as an afterthought. Nolan seems to be telling us that space travel is important even though we don't commit to it as much as we used to. I like that idea and I like the setup of the "blight" though I would prefer if they explain it more. The effects are good and the film is beautifully shot so you should watch it in theaters but the sound sometimes becomes Inaudible, I couldn't catch some key plot points at first because some lines were hard to hear. So overall I think this is a good film that has some flaws. If you like Sci-Fi and don't mind the 2001 A space odyssey comparisons then you will probably like interstellar.
