A memorable experience

Rating: 10/10 (31 July 2015)

To be honest, Interstellar was not on my "to watch" list when it first came out. But at my friend's request, we decided to go watch it without knowing what to expect.
I was absolutely blown away by the world building and the emotional depth of characters. There are plenty of movies about saving mankind or the planet, that generally gloss over the world they're in or just focus too much on it. Nolan and his writing staff managed to balance it perfectly by constructing a world that is so eerily relatable that just completely immersed me in it all. Some other friends who have seen this movie claim the first act is too long and too boring, but for me personally, I loved every second of its intricacies.
When the second act finally takes place, when the astronauts set out on their journey, that's when we're treated to scientific concepts that have been misinterpreted by the masses. Under Kip Thorne's direction, the writing team created a world that was scientifically accurate for the most part, and riveting. Hans Zimmer's unique use of pipe organs gave the soundtrack a very human and metaphysical element which resonated with one of the core ideas of this film, and this is humanity striving to reach beyond what is normal.
The acting in this movie is brilliant, hats off to the actress who played young Murphy Cooper. Her acting chops is definitely on the mark, and you can definitely buy into father-daughter dynamic she shares with Matthew McConaughey - which is the emotional core of the film.
This movie is definitely a memorable experience, one that has stuck with me for a very long time, and definitely more years to come. Its a must see for those who love the metaphysical and the science.
