Ah, Interstellar.

Rating: 10/10 (7 November 2014)

I saw this movie the Friday it came out. Since it was close to three hours long, I went to a dine-in theater. I suspected it would be good, but I walked out of that theater amazed. Where to begin. I suppose at the end, because that is what I remember the best. It felt like it was a tad bit rushed, probably due to Nolan not wanting to make it even longer than it was. However, it still ended well and was very thought-provoking. The one thing that made me mad was how they killed off basically every astronaut besides the two main ones. It seems like those are the only people who survive in these kinds of movies now. (Granted that, I can't seem to think of a movie that managed to weave the end-of-the-world storyline like this one). I didn't even know Matt Damon was going to be in the movie, which was a pleasant surprise, until he killed another astronaut, tried to kill Cooper (McConaughey), and ended up killing himself trying to dock. Yea, he did that. Anyway, the exposition also was one of the best parts, I think. It showed what the Earth was like now, set up the characters, and provided some good humorous parts (the whole parent-teacher conference thing). The visual effects were amazing, the sound was okay (but everything else makes up for it), and the acting was also very good. I personally like Doyle, but I saw his death coming (he had "red shirt" written all over him. The last thing I want to say is I like how they incorporated the whole black-hole scene. For a minute or so I thought it had went completely supernatural, which disappointed me, until I realized what was really going on and I now consider it probably one of the best scenes in the movie. All in all, I think that Nolan managed to create an excellent movie with Interstellar.
