An everyman with a galactic dilemma: his children or humanity

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2014)

At minute three, I was already captivated by the fate of this farmer, who is a loving father and who used to be a NASA pilot. Cooper has to make tough choices, and for this, we admire and pity him all at once. He is the every-day man and hero. And then there's all that kinetic dust and its breaking-nature-law's mystery and the corn...
Definitely the Father-daughter relationship takes the story to another dimension: a place where love transcends space and time. We get to experience that Love is more powerful than all the laws of physics and nature. In general, you will love the way Nolan weaves the plot with the human factor: relationships and attachments; the "fascination" sequences: where we learn what Cooper is passionate about; the suspense of planetary exploration challenges; and the shaking emotional moments. This memorable story will take you out of this world!
At times the movie feels like a lot of talking, but that's necessary in the long run to understand what's going to happen and why it happens. This is a very science-based movie, so we need the exposition.
I loved the screen magic! Christopher Nolan's camera shots will make you as if you were right in the middle of the action. You will feel you are in command. It's almost like a 4-D experience almost! Hold on tight!
The very first time I watched this film I thought it was a puzzle and very long. But it left me intrigued. I went to watch it a second time. Then a third. In the end, I watched this movie about 27 times.
I love how the actors actually get into spaceships: no blue-screen, but real things. CGI is used in the smartest possible way: we get the vivid illusion of speed and gravity! The film touches our senses and our hearts.
Matthew McConaughey's performance (Cooper) here is powerful and it's beautiful. He is brave and tough, but he can cry and sob. He is a likable and empathetic character. Michael Caine is a perfect match for the role of the scientist with a secret and noble agenda... Anne Hathaway (Dr. Brand) is the logical and controlled scientist that brings a balance of beauty and loveliness to the cast of characters. And Jessica Chastain is absolutely poignant! The rest of the supporting cast make this story a touching and galactic! I enjoyed the character growth.
This film fulfills the promise of drama, adventure, science fiction, and suspense. And as bonus, you'll enjoy poetry and a breathtaking musical score. You will be moved, you will be inspired, you will be entertained.
Cheers.
