A 166 minute journey that takes you through years

Rating: 10/10 (7 November 2014)

After completing an epic superhero saga (The Dark Knight trilogy), Nolan comes back to test your brains as he has done several times in the past. Interstellar is more than just a film. It's a journey. It's a journey in which you travel and experiment through different dimensions of space along with the lead characters (please watch it in IMAX). It is evident that one would compare this with Gravity, but apart from some special effects, nothing is similar to Gravity. It's a complete new way of storytelling through space travel.
The movie has all the elements. Visual effects are the best part. I know it's a common thing in recent big budget movies and everyone does it well. But Interstellar not only gets it right but also unique. You will experience a unique space travel compared to other movies. And also you need to think hard while watching this movie as listening to most of the dialogues is like sitting in an astro- physics class. But you cannot complain when the visuals are so engrossing. Even though if it's tough to understand sometimes, the visual effects makes your ticket price worth. I am also overwhelmed by the fact that the movie is in 2D, as it shows how well you can make a movie with the same visual effects without having the 3D. I hope this movie gets the Hollywood back to its golden 2D age.
Ten years ago, you could have never expected Mathew McConaughey to pull of a role like this. The way he shifts from one emotion to another is just spell bounding. Anne hathway does justice to her role, though she looks a little pale. Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine have some important roles as well. The movie doesn't depend much on its supporting characters, but Nolan extracts the best out of everyone.
I expected a brainer from Nolan and Interstellar is one. But its not how you think it will be. This goes to some levels that even your imaginations can't reach.
