Forget what professional critics have written...

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2015)

I don't know where to begin. I can't stop thinking about this movie, and I'm only writing this review to convince others to see it.
Interstellar has everything; great acting, a good plot and story, action, science fact AND fiction, a little romance, a huge (for me anyway) amount of tears, and a story that revolves around real people. The CGI was amazing, but it didn't feel artificial. I wish I could elaborate on what made this movie a winner, but I hate reviews that spoil the movie - what's the point of seeing it if you already know what will happen? Suffice to say, I can't think of a single person who wouldn't like this movie.
Two negatives: plot holes, but come on, so much of astro/quantum physics is theory that you have to fill in the answers somehow. I give credit to the Nolan brothers for making a valiant effort. There is one scene where Anne Hathaway's character was speaking that was a little out of place. Other than that, this was a great movie.
At the end of it, my kids (18,13), my mom (71), and I (42) all looked at each other and just said, wow. I love leaving a movie when you want to talk about it immediately, then shut up, so you can process it all over again. It's rare these days that a movie does this to me, and I couldn't be happier with how Interstellar made me feel. I will own this movie (and probably re-watch it A LOT). Also, I really hope that a directors cut is released on Blu-Ray, because I have a feeling that there's much more to the story to be told. I can't wait!
