The most "down-to-earth" space travel.

Rating: 10/10 (1 May 2018)

Interstellar is part of the latest generation sci-fi cinema that exploits some concepts of cosmology like the wormholes and blackholes. These became well-known due to the work of scientists like Stephen Hawking. Though it is difficult for most viewers to understand the mechanics of a multi-dimensional timespace, in this movie the elaboration on the topic and its presentation are meticulously approached, for making it quite apprehensible.
The earth is at the point where the depletion of natural resources is imminent and there is need for migration to exoplanets for the survival of the human species. This state of the earth creates a feeling of melancholia and fear about the foreseeable future that is conveyed properly to the audience. This dystopia is a key factor for the movie's success.
Instead of the scientific scope, the relation of the main character (former scientist and current farmer) to his daughter (future scientist) is developed with intimate approach and it is described by deep human feelings. This connection creates a perfect balance to the scientific side of the movie, making it attractive to a wider audience and contributing that way to its final success.
There are some moments that may initially seem not to be based on reality (more likely being paranormal) like the attempt from the father to communicate with his daughter behind the bookshelf. The good point is that scenes such as this, are explained in a scientifically consistent manner at the end.
10/10. Get the 4K physical medium version (more bitrate usually equals better a/v quality).
