INTERSTELLAR: Different Perspectives...

Rating: 8/10 (10 November 2014)

Scenario 1: As a serious movie buff:- Someone who scrutinizes a movie with keen observation might found Nolan's new epic space drama lacks a few things. Like,
1)A strong script: Interstellar, apart from it's stellar visuals is a hollow one. There isn't anything new that we would expect from the director.
2)Simply isn't Nolan's best work: Nolan had done a lot of home work for this one, which is evident in the production. But, what makes Nolan movies perfect is the twisting, unpredictable storyline. Interstellar is a predictable plot for someone who has common sense
3)Camera works and lighting are not that brilliant: Interstellar, which doesn't have the technical brilliance of last year's Gravity, is not that innovative in the camera department. We were expecting more from a director who made Memento.
With all that one may find Interstellar an average flick, if he dared to go deep into the details.
Scenario 2:As a science buff:- For someone, who read about black holes and imagined what will it be to travel through one, this movie is priceless. As Nolan's most ambitious work, he spent a lot of time time to make the science right, which made him sacrifice a lot of other elements. Making a movie out of a science book was a great leap in terms of Sci-Fi movies and even though it may not surpass Space Odyssey, it can rest on it's side.
Scenario 3: A regular movie goer:- For regular audience, who may look for some eye candy, some good acting and some sentiments, Interstellar is a perfect choice for the weekend.It's brilliant visualization of the unknown, brilliant performances from McConaughey, Chastain, Hathaway and probably everyone on board, marks Interstellar a stellar one. Matt Damon's surprising turn as Mann was also brilliant.
As per the scenarios, Interstellar can be labelled as a wonderful cinematic experience other than a brilliant use of arts and artists.....
