A Really, Really Good Film That Sorts of Replicates Inception- May Have Spoilers

Rating: 8/10 (10 November 2014)

This review may contain spoilers, so if I do give something away I do apologise in advance.
First of all, I would like to point out that even though this film is based on science and a scientist was hired to help with many aspects of the film, it is NOT a documentary. It's a movie. Why do I write this, you ask? Because many people expect things to be 100% scientifically accurate and forget that a movie isn't designed to be factual, but entertaining. This comment is often made about Sci-Fi films, so if you do decide to watch this please take the science with a pinch of salt, although it is very scientifically accurate for the movie it is.
Secondly, it may help if you had a relative understanding of physics and/or science as it will definitely enhance your viewing, but don't be put off if you don't.
Now on to the review; Interstellar is about how mankind is on the brink of extinction, as the population of the human race has exhausted food resources, leaving people to starve. As a result, the world as we currently know it has dissipated. Inventions and innovations in technology and engineering are no longer the focus for us as a species unless it looks towards the development of food to feed the world. This is where the government then looks to brave people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the good of humanity and adventure out in to space to find us a new home so that we may relocate and start afresh on a new planet.
This is where the main character is called into action - to complete this mission; to save the human race from extinction.
The movie is filled with beautiful CGI, deliciously interpreting our galaxy as well as others, almost giving us the true representation of the observable universe as we know it. Along with that, comes an emotional story-line designed to make us feel the pain the main character endures during his time out on this terrifying expedition. You feel the pain of his children as they watch their beloved father leave them on a 2-year plus journey, not knowing whether or not he will ever return to see them again. You feel the pain that humanity goes through as they suffer during this time of blight and an uncertain future.
There are also many heart-wrenching scenes as you fear for the main character and his team's survival as they experience the uncertainty of the different worlds they travel to in order to see if they are capable of sustaining life.
As usual, time is a key dimension in this film, as it is with Nolan's other work of art, it is therefore imperative you listen to the dialogue as close as you can so that you understand what's going on in front of you.
However, this film isn't without faults. The music, which goes really well with the plot and is beautifully composed by Hans Zimmer, unfortunately drowns out some of the dialogue, which doesn't help when the dialogue is essential.
The main character's accent is also quite strong so it's sometimes quite hard to understand what he's trying to say, and last but not least the movie is quite long but if you enjoy it, as I very much did, it will go by extremely quickly.
I do have to say, however, that this isn't Nolan's best piece of work. It's very good, don't get that wrong but compared to Inception and The Dark Knight Trilogy, this isn't on the same level.
If this was made by another director and producer, I would give this film a higher rating than what I have currently given it, but as this is Nolan I do hold this to a higher standard.
The movie as a whole is quite close to the themes explored by Inception. Time, family relationships, and drama. It's all in this epic motion picture.
Like I said, please give it a chance and don't take the science overly seriously. It's a fictional film, not a documentary!
