Nolan gets past his commercial boyish Batman phase to revert to his brilliant ways

Rating: 9/10 (8 November 2014)

Nolan gets it right again with an intelligent thoughtful, complex and profound sci-fi ode and odyssey.
A robot more humorous than Hal and the hallmark of a Contact-esque quest for humanity outside of Earth. We have a multi-layered personal and planetary drama with all the dazzle, science, sociology and humanity needed to make it legendary.
Not without it's flaws in tempo and in a few underwhelming scenes, it has enough gusto, philosophy, questions, twists, tension and tenderness to awaken all kind of feeling to most moviegoers and more.
I had the chance to see it in IMAX at the release date and the visuals, sound and handsome music from Hans Zimmer carried the multi-sense tense experience throughout.
The directing and editing made the running time seem instantaneous. Interstellar reveals quite a few interesting repercussions of our current scientific understanding of time and makes it relatable and perplexing.
The story from the Nolan brothers have several narrative propellers and interesting intellectual revelations like Memento and Inception which Christopher wrote. It does however capture a better emotional, epic and grandiose dimension.
Matthew McConaughey plays the lead role fresh from his Oscar win and I could not believe it had been 17 years since I was enthralled by him in theatre with the even better Contact (1997) which I even saw twice on the big screen and many times at home. It has been this long since Hollywood made such a good science-fiction self-contained movie... (it had been 29 years before that with the landmark 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968))
Hope I won't have to use the laws of relativity to see another one sooner...
An overall satisfied, sensitive and surreal piece of cinematic history.
