The Movie of the Century: A Must See (No spoilers in this review)

Rating: 10/10 (7 November 2014)

Christopher Nolan is one of my favorite directors, and if you have enjoyed his great hits like Batman and Inception, I am sure you will enjoy this film. There are not many movies I give a full 10 out of 10, I am pretty critical and picky. But Interstellar brings on a whole new perspective as you walk out of the theater, and will leave you in your seat watching the credits wishing that it wasn't over.
The movie starts off pretty slow, and as you watch it you may feel as I did and say, this really isn't that great. Though, as most Christopher Nolan films are, it picks up about an hour into it, and doesn't stop making you go on the edge of your seat till the credits roll. Interstellar is beautifully well written, artistically designed, and the special effects are top class. My favorite is the story itself, which beautifully plays into the characters and the plot of the movie (which was written by Nolan himself and his brother). To some it may seem to be a bit long (just about 3 hours), though to me it did not seem to drag on except for the beginning. The ending surely justifies the wait though. The characters are played by an exceptional cast, with several well-known actors/actresses. The music (by Hans Zimmer) is emotionally captivating, as expected in Nolan films. And the ending was a well-written closure, yet leaves you with wonder as you walk out. Many scenes I thought were also very emotional, I think I may have heard some people cry in the back.
Overall, a very well-written movie. Not the type that you would watch over and over again, but definitely one that will leave you in another world with a fresh perspective. I feel like the best movies captivate it's audiences enough to make you for a moment leave this world and be so into the film, and that is what this movie did for me. There is a lot of dialogue, this is not a high action shooter film, but it is quite suspenseful, especially the later half. If you are looking for a movie that is beautifully made, a complex story, and emotionally captivating characters, you will enjoy this film. I thoroughly enjoy it and recommend it!
*That being said, the only thing I had a problem with was that the sound for the dialogue seemed super low. It could have been the theater I was in, but compared to the effects it was quite low. It seemed like most of the actors/actresses were whispering their dialogue for a good portion of the movie, especially Matthew's character. This could have been the way his character acts, but for me sometimes it was hard to hear what characters were saying. Maybe it was just me!
