Best science fiction movie of 21st century

Rating: 9/10 (29 November 2014)

In a sentence, I would describe Interstellar as 169 minutes of pure masterpiece. Christopher Nolan has once again proved his talent and capability of hard work after the blockbuster movie Inception. The movie was produced by Christopher Nolan along with his wife Emma Thomas (who has co produced most of his movies) and Lynda Obst. The brilliant story was written primarily by Jonathan Nolan which was later improvised by Christopher Nolan. The story itself amazes me because of its creative yet somewhat relate-able vision of what the Earth's future could be.
The cast of this movie which includes Mathew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Mackenzie Foy, Jessica Chastain, Matt Damon,Ellen Burstyn, Casey Affleck, etc, have given full dedication to their respective characters and helped us feel each and every scenes and the emotions it contained. McConaughey's character Joseph Cooper itself has an extensive range of faces which includes that of an astronaut, a loving father, a widower, a saver of human race, an aspiring lover, a dreamer, and so on. Almost every character of this movie has a significant and interconnected role in it.
Another reason why I love Interstellar is because of its scientific accuracy (yes this is to all of you that called this movie a bu##$&*! and an aftermath of too much LSD) . Kip Thorne who is a theoretical physicist and used to teach at Caltech is the scientific consultant of the film. This man used to be a longtime colleague of Stephen Hawkings (do you still dare to go on and judge some more?) . The depictions of wormholes and relativity is as accurate as it can get.
Some of the viewers and critics felt the movie was inaudible to an extent but I think it is an added advantage as it will require more of attention to understand the movie and its concept. It can get a bit frustrating but trust me when I say that everything else about the movie will do more than cover up for it.
I grew up watching science fiction movies like Aliens, The terminator series, A space odyssey, 'Close encounter of the third kind' and used to be a dreamer myself. But Interstellar beautifully balanced science fiction and adventure with real life emotions and expectations. This was the ultimate favorite in my recent movie experiences. It made me wonder, wander, jump on my seat (if you watched the movie you know which scene I'm talking about), hope, cry a little, laugh a little, and a list of so many other things. I pray it did/does the same to you.
