Interstellar: Science that won hearts.

Rating: 10/10 (13 May 2020)

Interstellar, the brainchild of the Nolan brothers is nothing short of a cosmic revelation. McConaughey's Cooper and Hathaway's Amelia Brand join a team of astronauts to lead an expedition into space to battle extinction on Earth. Their mission is to find a habitable planet in another galaxy to which mankind can escape to, from our apocalypse-approaching Earth. The almost three-hours long adventure that follows is full of strange new worlds, a lot of techno-talk, and a fair bit of philosophical debates.
Interstellar is an astounding prototype of superior science fiction films, the kind which refuses to let you look away from the screen even when space suit-clad scientists discuss theoretical physics. On their mission to find a habitable, cognizable planet, the Cooper, Amelia, and the rest of the astronauts on the mission are removed from everything that defines them as humans. They have had to leave their families, their homes, and their jobs back on Earth to take on the Herculean responsibility of saving mankind from perishing on the soon-to-be-inhabitable Earth. Apart from this planned objective, they have no idea what lies their way. From entering a wormhole to setting foot on an ocean-planet to falling inside a black hole, they face all kinds of complex and scientific obstacles.
Hans Zimmer's background score helps in relaying the underlying thrill to the audience and lends a somewhat hypnotic effect to the film. Interstellar has just the right blend of science and fiction which makes it an enjoyable watch along with being thought-provoking and scientifically viable. Even after you have walked out of the theater, one thing you can be sure of is that this film will stay with you long after it has ended.
