Wow! Phenomenal movie!

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2014)

I'm a die-hard Sci-Fi fan, and have been since I first saw Star Wars in the theater (first release:). I had heard so many great reviews about Interstellar that I was honestly a little afraid it might not live up to my expectations. I was more than pleasantly surprised...it exceeded them. The cinematography was incredible. The acting was excellent, and it had some of my favorite current-generation actors in it.
Having read some great reviews about the musical score, I have to say this is the first movie I remember actually noticing the music in a very long time...like since Ennio Morricone did The Mission. haha The music set the perfect stage for the drama on screen. The only flaw in this movie, and perhaps it was just the theater I saw it in, which had less than stellar (pun intended) stereo, was that the music was actually so loud in parts that I couldn't hear key dialog. That wasn't quite enough to lower it from a 10/10 in my opinion, since trying to figure out what they were saying actually added to the drama in an odd way.
This movie is epic. Many movies have tried to melt space exploration and star-ships with Earthside farm atmosphere. None have succeeded in that meld until now. They manage to do it in a way that it doesn't detract, or make the story less believable. So long story short, for fans of Sci-Fi, this movie will leave you satisfied in a way that most movies in the genre have failed. It manages to be epic without being action packed or predictable. A must see.
