The Perfect Culmination of Camera work, Emotion, and Originality

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 2015)

Interstellar continues the Nolan tradition of challenging a general audience's expectations while also giving up enough beauty in its visuals and engrossing story to keep us glued.
I will say nothing of the plot. Honestly, do not even read the back of the box or the plot synopsis of other reviewers. This is meant to be experienced as one complete piece with nothing given away.
The focus here is on human drama with a space backdrop. While the film is breathtaking in scope, it is the dialogue and story that ultimately out-do every other aspect. Nolan, for almost three straight hours, begs us to ask the questions: How much do our emotions govern our logic? At what point does humanity cease when we struggle to survive?
These questions are something that could only be presented this well in the context of this film and in the hands of capable writers and the director - they give us no answer. We are meant to infer these meanings and all the while feel ourselves sink into the world being created for us. And what a world it is...
I could go on about Interstellar's writing, the score (my god...how is Hans Zimmer still getting better?), the acting and more because these things are all fully realized like nothing I've seen in film, but I'll leave you with this: you need to see Interstellar. Whether you love it, hate it, or just walk away confused, I have a hard time believing someone not being effected by this piece of art.
I have never given a film a 10/10, but I wanted to give this film more.
