Defiantly worth the price of admission

Rating: 8/10 (9 November 2014)

Leave it to Nolan to confuse his audience, and from his previous work 'Inception' I shouldn't have thought otherwise. And don't forget, before you jump on the bus and head to your nearest cinema, pack your sci-fi helmet because unless you're Brian Cox or some kind of strange child genius you're going to be left in the "dust" ( hahahahaha...watch the film... don't leave me laughing by myself) at some points in the movie if you don't focus hard.
To begin with I went into the theatre not expecting much, not because I wasn't pumped for the film but because everything was just so damn ambiguous leading up to the "launch" ( I am on fire!), which again is a Nolan-ism in itself. But don't be put off by the slight confusion of the movies basic plot in the trailers as that is what makes this movie so special, you think it's going one way from the advertising but then you leave the room blown out of the water by the complex and detailed story that wasn't even hinted at in the previews. And boy was there a complex storyline, it's the kind of narrative that leaves you thinking which is rare in today's Hollywood, and it truly does deliver on the thought provoking subjects, so if you're looking for a philosophical debate this it just the ticket for you and your friends.
Now onto the acting, I'm not going to beat around the bush on this one so I'll just come out and say it... Is there anything that McConaughey can't do! Seriously he's a star (yeah! OK, I'll stop) and delivers on just about everything you would want. There's just something special about seeing my child hood dream of floating about in space and (one of) my favourite actor together that just gets me so giddy. Anne Hathaway also surprised me highly. From the trailers I saw only a tiny bit of her but she was actually a main character which made me smile, not only was she a really good spaceman and good co-pilot but I just really like the look of her, she pulls off business, daredevil, astronaut, brave-heart and pioneer all in one film whilst sporting that short hair that I just love so much. Nolan's star child, Michael Cain also got more screen time than usual which was a nice treat as he was just really good at playing an old man. Jessica Chastain is a new 'fav' of mine, I was actually surprised of how well they played off the ageing characters because they genuinely looked quite similar to their other actors, kudos to the casting directors!
For a movie with such beautiful cinematography there is only one thing that could make it better, a beautiful soundtrack, and it certainly delivered on that front! Hans Zimmer has outdone himself once more on this score, it fits so perfectly with the vastness of the movie's universe and when the action drops, you can assure yourself the beat does too.
In conclusion, if it's a spectacle you want, and a topic of debate you need then this film sure does deliver! If you enjoyed Inception or gravity, heck, even if you enjoyed beauty and the beast, this film is made for you! Go and see it, it's defiantly worth the price of admission.
9.7 out of 10
