A wonderful homage to Kubricks 2001

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2014)

This movie is a masterpiece by Nolan. It truly manages to bring 2001 into the modern cinema.
The dystopic topic of mankind struggling against mother earth failing to provide for themselves is beautifully captured with a retrospective cinematic style produced with film technique.
The settings of rural country and deep space span an amazing emotional arc over a surprisingly twisted storyline.
The true strength of this movie though lies within the masterful acting and dialog. All lead roles are cast with exceptionally strong actors, and Matthew McConaughey manages to carry the movie by bridging the from love, family, and friendship to adventure, recklessness and philosophy.
It is difficult to directly compare a movie to Stanley Kubricks work, but especially from a cinematic point of view I feel that Christopher Nolan absolutely managed to live up to the expectations with his tribute.
