A LONG journey in outer space.

Rating: 6/10 (25 November 2014)

Let me start by saying that this movie has an insanely brilliant image. Although i would have love to cut an hour out of it.
Matthew McConaughey had an amazing performance alongside Anne Hathaway. But the performance that moved me the most in this movie was Mackenzie Foy (playing 10 year old Murph). I think we should expect many great things from her in the future. 10 year old Murph was the character that i was thinking about during the whole movie and would have loved to see her more !
Let's talk SOUND ! I think this is the first time that Hans Zimmer disappoints me. The overly present music was at many points annoying. There was also a mixture of styles in the music that i frankly did not understand. The pipe organ should not be present in outer space and was used too many times. The music was too present in the mix and there was nothing special about the whole sound design concept. We had one brilliant Silent moment, but I think Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity affected us too much and this moment was a bit expected. (Oh, and Gravity pulled off the Silent moments brilliantly)
The image was simply stunning ! I think we are reaching a milestone in the industry where we are proving that anything you want to do on the big screen is possible. That's why I think we should start re-focusing on the stories and the actual plots in the movies. But as long as we are comparing this movie with Gravity : At least we have a story here !
Christopher Nolan tried to re-introduce the "mind-fuck" concept in Interstellar when he threw us back into the beginning of the movie. But the movie was so long that we had completely forgotten what had happened in the beginning and we were not "amazed" by the whole turn out. There weren't enough hints to a come-back in time in the beginning as well.
All in all, this movie is a must-see. Again, along-side Gravity, it is a milestone in the cinema industry today ! (But with waaaaay better acting than Gravity)
