Interstellar

Rating: 9/10 (27 January 2015)

With our time on Earth coming to an end, a team of explorers undertakes the most important mission in human history; traveling beyond this galaxy to discover whether mankind has a future among the stars.
Christopher Nolan's latest film opened this weekend, offering theater-goers the kind of beautiful, hyper-realistic view of outer space made possible by the best special effects available coupled with a compelling story paced along the lines of more recent science fiction offerings like Moon and The Europa Report.
Though anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of science will cringe at my description of Interstellar as realistic science fiction, I do so to differentiate this film from those that are more action/adventure oriented, like Star Trek.
At two hours and forty-nine minutes, Nolan gives those paying movie theater prices their money's worth, and I for one was riveted to the (BIG) screen for every minute.
