Interstellar is a must watch for any sci-fi fan, or anyone else in general.

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2015)

This movie is beautiful in every aspect. I feel as though if I had dedicated the time I did watching this movie on something else, I would not be the same person I am now. Interstellar enthralled me from start to finish. In every minute, hell, every second of watching it, I had a bewildering sense of exploration and wonder. The effects were outstanding, Christopher Nolan pulled it off again, with his amazing choice of cinematography and camera angles. Whether it be the soul rending aesthetics of the black hole Gargantua, or the sight of the Endurance spinning uncontrollably outside the orbit of an ice planet, I was astounded that what I was looking at wasn't real. The acting was superb, I rarely cry or get upset at movies, but damn, some of the scenes, primarily the scene after the two decades had passed and Cooper was looking over past messages sent to him, were some of the saddest scenes I've ever scene in any movie. Matthew McConaughey in particular was a stand out performance, able to depict countless emotions simultaneously, and in a very believable way. The story was fantastic, this is one of the best sci-fi films I've seen to date, if not the best, it's ability to pull me in from start to finish outmatches any movie I've seen in a while. And how have I not mentioned the soundtrack yet? This is THE best score I've heard in any movie. Hans Zimmer doesn't disappoint at all, not that he could. "No time for Caution" and "Mountains" in particular, are outstanding compositions.
Now, don't get me wrong, Interstellar does have it's flaws. You will definitely need some suspension of disbelief, as the plot gets quite crazy, but honestly? Everything good about this movie COMPLETELY overshadows what's wrong with it.
Overall, Interstellar is one of my favourite movies, and almost Nolan's best, if not for the Dark Knight taking the number one spot for me.
