An emurphsive experience

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 2015)

What do you get if you mix Van Hoytema, Nolan and Zimmer? Apart from one hell of a tongue twister, you get interstellar. But then add: the zest of an emotional, character-driven storyline; and the essence of big, existential questions posed via the contrasting, unfathomably complex, scientific theories, and you get the best film in a decade at least.
Although it is something which I am loath to admit (especially after watching big, Hollywood movies) this film made me cry...several times. Sometimes a happy cry, sometimes a sad cry, other times a cry caused by the realisation of my own insignificance in the relatively vast expanse of time and space. But let there be no doubt about it, my face was more wet than a horny mermaid's lady pocket, by the end. That is what films are about, making you feel and think in ways you have not done, or do not regularly do. Well worth an £8 cinema ticket.
Which brings me to my next point: if you didn't see this in a cinema, you have no right to comment on the film. That would truly be like seeing only half a film, and then writing a review on it. The sound and the cinematography, simply mind blowing. After the journey begins you'll forget that you are in a theatre at all. Nolan said it was a film designed for the big screen, I have seen it once (..more than once) on both, and I can confirm Mr.Nolan is, indeed, correct.
To conclude then, whilst there are people who dislike Interstellar, I can only conclude that these people are either demented clock-fanatics, infuriated by Nolan's heartless and brutal dismemberment of time, or faux-physicists who are both pedantic and stupid. Yes, Interstellar is not 100% scientifically accurate, but it is much more accurate than say, Star Wars, Gravity, Alien, back to the future, or any other sci-fi 'classic' they might haughtily regurgitate in your direction. And, yes, I can see that in some places, in the space suits especially, the speech is somewhat incomprehensible, or that the jarjar-esque comedy robots may not be everybody's cup of tea. However in my books if you give this movie less than a 9/10, you are a cretin and I hate you. This movie is unmissable and YOU NEED TO SEE IT.
LIKE NOW.
seriously why are you still here..
just put that phone down and go but a cinema ticket....
Or if you have to, I guess, a DVD.
