Epic and Inspiring

Rating: 9/10 (6 November 2014)

Just saw Interstellar and it was epic tale of humanity's struggle to survive a dying planet. Visually breath-taking, the vastness of space and smallness of man is evident. You feel alone at times but not necessarily afraid. The dialog is near-perfect with but does degrade into sentimentality at times. If only it was as subtle as the humour which was spot on. For whatever reason, I found the movie had a similar vibe at times to Prometheus and the first Star Trek movie. Again, I think that the linkage is the coldness and vastness of space. And the fragility of man. From a science point of view there were pleasing aspects explored such as time dilation which I've never seen treated so openly in film.
