Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2014)

8 November 2014 Fiona's Film of Choice at The Plaza Tonight - Interstellar. This is definitely a thinking man's (or woman's) action film. Lots and lots of technical jargon which was fairly difficult to follow. Having said that, this long film, all 169 minutes of it had me rooted to my seat. With earth on the brink of extinction due to climate change, disease and drought, a group of people leave our planet on a secret mission to find previous space explorers who went searching for new planets to inhabit. Matthew McConaughey, and Anne Hathaway lead the cast and the expedition on a quest to save the world and there is another solid performance from Michael Caine. That all sounds terribly glamorous but in reality it's not, it is life changing, heart wrenching, and soul destroying to list a few, but hang in there, this tale does have an ending. Although at times the pace was a little slow, I felt it was necessary to match the speed of the story, and the passing of years. A stupendous score by the great Hans Zimmer, accompanied by an amazing collection of sound effects without which the film would not work, this piece of movie-making by Director Christopher Nolan is a must watch.
