A Good film but too much to digest !!

Rating: 7/10 (7 March 2015)

I've always admired Christopher Nolan's work. He is a rare film maker who can make the summer action blockbuster like the Dark Knight Rises or make an intellectual thriller like Inception. He is at ease while making both the types.
However, with Interstellar, Nolan is pushing the envelope and the end product didn't leave me much happy.
Interstellar has an interesting premise of man searching another planet in space where mankind can survive as earth is dying. But Nolan and his writer brother Johnathan fill the story with lots of science and theories like Relativity, Time Travel, Worm Hole, etc. It became difficult to comprehend after a point of time what is exactly happening in the film. So there are points in the film where its slow and boring and many of us were lost.
I felt like where Inception was pure fantasy, Interstellar is Nolan's take on time travel and related theories which might be true. But as an audience, we need a bit of entertainment at the end of the day.
Technically the movie is brilliant like all Nolan's films have been till date. The movie has some breath taking scenes and I've to admire Nolan's vision of the future, space and the planets. Its the story where he flatters. However, like all Nolan's films, this film ends with a hope.
The performances were excellent. Mathew McConaughey is outstanding as Cooper. His scenes with his daughter Murph played by Mackenzie Roy are sweet and touching. Also, please see the scene when he comes back to the space craft after 23 years and sees the videos sent by his son.
Jessica Chastain as the older Murph is excellent. Hathaway, Caine, Lithgow and Damon are good in their roles.
Overall, its a good film with lots of science which might be difficult for us to digest.
