Space Travel Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (12 November 2014)

Let me start by stating I am(or was) in no way a huge fan of outer space and all things that go with it. Not exactly a sci-fi buff either. So when I heard this movie was worth the trip to the cinema, I heeded the call but approached with caution. Went into the cinema already knowing this movie was brilliant, at least judging by the reviews it got( which can at times be misleading ). I walked in excited yet cautious but left both emotionally and psychologically drained.
Driven by Christopher and Jonathan Nolan's excellent screenplay and the former's flawless direction, Interstellar is an experience that is one of a kind. Matthew McConaughey takes center stage and carries his character extremely well. He has you in tears at one point and in awe the next. The first 30 minutes however, are stolen by child actor Mackenzie Foy. A performance that will stay with you over the years.
The film in itself is a visual masterpiece, but it is the magnification of all the little elements of the journey that make it an unforgettable one. From the accuracy of the scientific concepts proposed to the underlying love story, everything is flawless. Christopher Nolan has set the bar extremely high by turning anything he touches into gold. He raises the bar that bit higher in this one.
Interstellar made me want to know more about what I once gave little thought to. Interstellar isn't a film, it's a journey. It's a painting in motion, a piece of art. You are a part of everything that happens in the film, at least that's what you'll feel like when you watch it. Interstellar will stick in your head for years. It provokes thought, it makes you ask questions. It makes you view this world and it's inhabitants in a different light.
I'll go ahead and say it : Nolan may never top this one.
