A Magnificent Journey through Space and Time

Rating: 9/10 (8 November 2014)

WOW....
This is a film I have been quite anticipating for over an year. My expectations were incredibly high, I was nervous I might end up being disappointed and yet Interstellar was everything I could dream of and much more.
Its an ambitious science fiction, an exhilarating ride with a strong emotional punch. Enter this post apocalyptic world where Earth is full of dust and dying, where the only option for Mankind to survive is to leave Earth. This film feels similar yet is quite different from previous films by Christopher Nolan. The actors have done a very good job expressing their emotions. Special kudos to 13 year old Mackenzie Foy, as she did a hell of job emoting her feelings of not being able to see her father again, I almost cried. Music from Hans Zimmer worked pretty well and gives an epic and haunting feel in the film.
This film takes quite a lot of inspiration from 2001: A Space Odyssey, especially in the visuals department. The visuals are quite imaginative and creative. The trip through the wormhole for one is mind blowing. The third act of this film might be polarizing and somewhat crazy. You will either love it(not revealing why because its a Spoiler) or hate it as it didn't make much sense to you. I ended up being blown away by it. This film also provides an accurate representation of the Time dilation and the general theory of relativity, one of the primary reasons I loved it.
But I wouldn't call this film flawless. Nolan uses the cross cutting technique pretty much like his previous films, while it worked smoothly in Inception and Prestige but it feels disjointed in this film. There are some annoying plot points which might irk you.
One of my biggest gripe was I couldn't see it in IMAX, hence I cannot truly appreciate the beauty of this film. But that being said this film is set to awe and inspire audiences. Its an emotional roller coaster ride which you mustn't miss. 9.5/10
