A Cinematic Masterpiece of Utter Brilliance!

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 2014)

Interstellar could possible be the greatest science fiction film ever made, and yes I truly mean that, I am not exaggerating.
When I sat down in the local Regal RPX theater to watch Interstellar, I expected to enjoy a good film. Having watched all of Christopher Nolan's previous films, my expectations were fairly high but not astronomical. What I got in return with Interstellar far surpassed my expectations.
Interstellar turned out to be a lot more than just a techy sci-fi film. Although the film does manage to tackle heavy concepts like time dilation, interstellar space travel, along with an abstract visualization of time in a higher dimension; it also manages to impart to the viewer the pivotal message that love is transcendent. And it accomplishes all of this without being corny or convoluted. Only an artist of the highest order could have pulled off this feat so successfully, so I must offer a congratulations to Mr. Nolan.
There is the possibility that a portion of movie goers might get lost with some of the concepts the film presents, but that would mainly be due to their own ignorance of science or the extent to which their minds are closed. I never once became truly lost in this film, by the ending third everything came together and was making perfect, beautiful sense.
The musical score for Interstellar by the magnificent composer Hans Zimmer was perfect and adds another beautiful dimension to an already amazing film. Hearing the powerful yet melodious playing of the organs during the high points in the film increased the intensity and emotional impact of the pivotal scenes.
The acting by Matthew McConaughey was simply fantastic, and the other performances were equally tremendous. The casting was very well done.
The cinematography was spectacular as we've come to expect from a Nolan film. The scenes in space are breathtaking, and the incredible sequence where Cooper detaches from the main ship and goes through the worm hole is one of the most amazing scenes I think I've ever witnessed on film. The following sequence that comes next is even more breathtaking as you're shown a higher dimensional, albeit abstract, representation of what time physically looks like from Cooper's perspective.
The ending of the film was extremely satisfying. I wasn't left with any unanswered questions, I felt like everything came together at the end perfectly, and I would have to add that for me, this was the most satisfying conclusion to any Nolan film yet.
This was simply a brilliant film, and being a fairly big sci-fi and science fan myself, I would consider this to be one of the best science fiction films ever made. Interstellar is what art on film looks like. This is cinematic brilliance, and it can't be missed! See it in IMAX if possible.
