Brilliant, Amazing and Astonishing

Rating: 9/10 (7 November 2014)

What a glorious way to demonstrate the richest of the skills of film-making!! Kudos must go to Nolan. It's a sci-fi treat blended beautifully with emotions, an excellent original work in the era of mostly non-original movies. The direction and story is exceptional in many ways and this is what we expect from Nolan. Acting is good, especially, the acting of all the three females is excellent in the movie. Visuals are amazing. Music is good but I expected even better from Hans Zimmer. The expansion of scope for the future of the human race is amazing. Yes, it has some similarities with '2001- A Space Odyssey (1968)' but surely and most certainly 'Interstellar' is a next generation movie. The end part of the movie has been talked about a lot. It is very heavy, very happening and very complex. They say 'Seeing is believing'. The important thing here is that seeing means seeing and understanding it well too. This part is the soul of the movie; it's the part where millions of the scattered dots of the whole movie show how well they are bonded. In order to find what this movie is all about, it is necessary to understand it. For me, especially three things in this end part were very very important- 1) the use of the 'Time' dimension out of the five dimensions talked about in the movie. 2) the role of 'Gravity' as a means to communicate across the dimensions and 3) the position of the humans in a far distant future. The only problem seems to be is the slow pace. This movie is a fine example of the trade-off between an experience of reality in a movie and a good pace of it. I believe that a classic movie of this stature deserves this kind of elaboration and so this pace too. But, from many viewers' point of view, well, the idea may be a bit different. So, the jury is still out. Finally, 'Interstellar' is yet another masterpiece from Nolan, the best movie of last two years. 9/10
