"Time is a valuable thing"

Rating: 8/10 (28 November 2014)

Time is one of the topics touched in Christopher Nolan's Interstellar. But it is not the only one. There are many other themes presented in the movie and that make you reflect on them, such as Nature, space, future of the humankind, simple human feelings, etc. But time theme is the substantial one. You can not only see, but also feel it. Along with the characters you get to know the value of time. Not only years, months, days or hours, but each second counts. And you start to understand that only when you get into some critical situation. Moreover, you never know if this very second is last or not. Only then, you start to appreciate everything you have in your life, you forget about all the negative that happened to you. The only thing you want is to have more time. But time doesn't listen to people. It goes its way and nothing matters to it. Interstellar shows all the cruelty of time, its mercilessness. Especially it's seen in the episode when Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) and his crew land at Miller planet where each hour on the surface equals seven years on Earth.
Of course, this movie wouldn't impress so much without an excellent actors' work. I admit that Matthew McConaughey got a really deserved Oscar (I guess all remember his role in Dallas Buyers Club after which he received it). Indeed, his performance is just brilliant. And amazing Anne Hathaway... Moreover, kinda surprising is Matt Damon's part. It's pretty shocking to see him playing such a coward villain.
I am not going to tell how amazing the visual effects and the whole director work are. Because it doesn't make any sense. We all know that Christopher Nolan knows perfectly how to impress, in all senses of this word. And, yes, the best way to enjoy Interstellar to its full is to watch it in IMAX format. I think the impressions, in this case, will be much stronger.
In general, I should say that Interstellar is one of the best emotional and thought-provoking sci- fi movies I've seen so far. Watching it, you unwillingly become a part of this film. You become so absorbed in it, that you are able to feel what the characters feel, you accept someone's part and oppose to others. Personally I experienced a huge variety of thoughts, feelings and emotions while watching this movie.
