To Infinity, and Beyond

Rating: 8/10 (5 November 2014)

I'll keep this short and spoiler-free.
An emotional ride of incomprehensible scale. This is one of those movies that leave you speechless right after, no matter how much you normally wouldn't shut up after seeing a movie.
With a stellar (heh.) performance by McConaughey, playing a man divided by his family, ambition and pretty much the fate of the human race, Interstellar wows like no other.
Flawless in casting, from Michael Caine's weathered yet seemingly hopeful professor to Anne Hathaway's typical female-lead played with more severe sweetness than ever.
But forget the heartfelt performances, the grandiose yet haunting cinematography/CGI, and the stark writing whittled down to scientific simplicity, for the layman.
The heart and value of this film, lies in the concept and idea of the journey itself. Tugging at heartstrings you never knew you had, Interstellar brings to life emotions never previously explored, using a terrifying but hopeful idea.
That we, humans, truly have no idea what lies for us in Space.
