Rating: 8/10 (8 November 2014)

I've been a huge Christopher Nolan fan since Batman Begins. Everyone of his movies (Insomnia being the only one I haven't seen) has been an amazing experience and an absolute joy. I had high hopes for Interstellar. However, for the past week, I've heard many mixed reviews with most saying the movie was smart, had great visuals, a lot of fun, but on the "ridiculous" side. But after seeing this movie, I must say, once again Nolan's film about Interstellar travel travels far beyond the astronomical bar I had set for it going in. I will not say Interstellar is Nolan's best movie, because you can't compare movies that are on the same, incredibly high level, but this one just might be his most powerful work. I cannot recall the last time a movie moved me so well. While for a lot of the movie, the viewer is left guessing where the film is headed next, or how it will get to a climax, the last 45 minutes will have you on the edge of your seat to the point to where if you fall off you won't even notice because your eyes will never leave the screen. This movie was a complete joy. As nearly all of Nolan's works are, every aspect of this movie was of the highest quality. The actors were fantastic. the visuals put even Avatar to shame. The story is as interesting as they get. The scope and aim is so grand that some may find it "ridiculous" but anyone with an open-mind will love this movie and every where it takes you.
