Better than most, enough to become a classic, frustrating still.

Rating: 9/10 (16 November 2014)

Interstellar is the reason why I go to the theater. For years now I have avoided most movies for they don't captivate me, they don't allow me to forget who I am, where I am.
Nolan's piece has made me enjoy every moment of that movie. I looked at my watch few times to make sure that time would not pass too quickly, it's about 170 minutes, and its barely enough.
It's undeniable, the photography, the soundtrack, the sound effects, the mind-bending moments, the exposure to unusual concepts, the intensity, the beautifully orchestrated silence, the alternative reality of Nolan's Interstellar is something that we unfortunately, or fortunately, do not find too often in a movie.
It did what most cannot do, it brings moments of intensity, of interrogations, of discomfort, of frustration, of love, of hate, of impatience; the spectrum of emotions is broad and solid.
Despite this, I have one major issue with the movie. While I give it a 9, because I compare it to most movies, to what we have as a reference, I am not entirely satisfied, because this movie is very close to being a masterpiece, a piece so nicely assembled that it could go through time and captivate people for years to come. Nolan, or the production, who knows, have only delivered one part of the movie, the scenario, the photography, and logic of the movie is great and hard to challenge, but the quality of dialogues, especially between McConaughey's daughter and him later in the movie, as well as the general interactions of multiple characters, are weak, too weak for the quality of the movie. That is very frustrating, not enough to make it a bad movie, but enough to make it frustrating, for most of the job was done, most of the quality was delivered, and here is ceases. Nevertheless, great movie, great actors, great scenario, amazing photography, exceptional mise-en-scene, this movie will add itself to a great list of classics.
Absorbing to say the least, when I left the room and opened the door, I realized I was here, on Earth, in a building, in this city, and that somehow, was disappointing, because for over two hours, I was in there, in this movie, it all was possible.
