Christopher Nolan delivers, again.

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2014)

I actually went into the movie theater not knowing this was done by Christopher Nolan. So when his name popped up when the movie ended I had a moment of "That explains everything!" The premise is not new, but the delivery sure is... Earth is dying. Some kind of vegetation plague is killing our planet's crops, the dirt is turning against us, and mankind has ceased warfare, frivolous money spending, and hunkered down to focus on agriculture. Former NASA Pilot, Cooper, works on a farm with his two kids and father in law. His daughter begins discovering things happening in her bedroom that will soon change everything.
The film itself is gripping and although the prologue is focused on getting to know the characters and introducing us to the world as it is in this fictional future, albeit slowly, you don't have to wait very long until it starts to get into the trademark Christopher Nolan intensity that grabs you, throws you around, excites you, and doesn't let go until the end. There aren't really any of his films this could compare in any way to, it's so different and fresh. It's feel could be compared to Inception, but that's it. The acting is beyond great, and McConaughey and Hathaway work very well together on the screen. The visuals, effects, editing, and sound are all superb. There is a lot of big, grandiose shots in the film, so it would be beneficial to see this in the theater at least once to get the full effect. This movie really was made to be on the big screen.
It's not often I think of a movie as one that will go down in history, but this certainly will. It's presentation, plot, and approach put it up there with classics like 2001: A Space Odyssey, which many times you can tell was one of the main inspirations for this film. The banks and corners Nolan takes in this movie will get your heart pumping, and the acting and effects will visually hold you. Not every day I see such a great movie and have some fun while I'm at it.
