I was so excited for Interstellar to come out for a very long time. I waited all of deployment to finally come back and see it in a big movie theater. I even went by myself during the day and got nothing to drink or anything so there would be minimal interruptions. (I remember somebody started talking during one part and I almost lost it... but that was probably mostly the deployment talking) anyway, after hyping it up so much in my head it still did not disappoint me. While it was different a little in it's ending execution and not for the closed minded it hit every note that it needed to. Other than just a emotional, grounded and genuine science fiction film with terrific acting and visuals that leave you wondering how they even came up with it (good thing it won the Oscar for it, it definitely deserved it) I feel like it represents a deeper message for humanity to not lose our aspiration and wonder. The world is indeed filling up to the brim of people and I feel like the more that happens the more we lose touch with our humanity in a way. I feel like we lose our need to grow and evolve when everything has been done it seems like and everyone is so crowded that the quantity of life shadows the quality of it. (stay with me there is a point to what I am saying) We need to still look to space as a new world not a impossible reach. While I certainly hope we don't leave our planet to die, I do hope humanity can somehow sort it's petty differences out sooner rather than later so we can work together to once again become pioneers and go where no man has gone before and to do it with the good grace of compassion. Anyway, I'll get off of my soap box now, but in that regard this movie is almost as meaningful as passion of the Christ would be to a Christian. This movie actually made me like Matthew Mconahey (No idea how to spell that don't judge me) along with every other cast member. Not to mention the perfectly orchestrated montage of a an ending that wraps everything up together with a nice bow like Christopher Nolan does so well. Anyway, if you haven't guess by now I do indeed highly recommend this movie to anyone and everyone who is a human being with a active conscious. g'day.
