The love that travels through space and time to those waiting for the break of dawn

Rating: 9/10 (1 October 2016)

Though in deep love with science fiction films, I personally object the abuse of over-drastic ideas, over-dramatic high-tech stuff, and over- unrealistic stories. After watching dozens of unimpressive sci-fi films, my eyes lighted up after finishing Interstellar. The whole idea of Interstellar didn't make me feel weird at all. In fact, the setting of the story is very logical and reasonable. The deep meaning of the film is also unique and has reached a level that other sci-fi films always fail to achieve. To be simple, this is really a touching film and a "scientific" one.
The background of the film is the very end of the human race. With such a setting, the story not only enables us to see the determination of those who dedicated their life into the unknown and those firmly waiting for decades, but also the deep bond between the friends, colleagues and families. We see figures working day and night to rid mankind of extinction, scientists making every mean to find a solution, brave explorers heading to the void for a final destination. Some say only in extreme circumstances can the true color of human be shown. The film didn't put on a story of such a grand scale for nothing. It's using the whole setting to maximize the emotion of the film, and highlight the brightness of human nature. With a sparkling imagination only allowed in sci-fi films, Director Nolan succeeded in combining art and science together flawlessly. This isn't often seen in sci-fi films. But anyhow, only in sci-fi films can it be seen. That's why I think Interstellar is so remarkable.
Time is the biggest villain in the film, according to Director Christopher Nolan. We can see it when the distance between Cooper and Murphy was teared apart, when the last bit of Mann' will was extinguished, when Tom has no choice but to wait for his father's possible return while witnessing the leaving of his grandfather and child...... But while the law of the nature is so cruel, the human did not yield. They used their live action to show the nature that no matter how long or how far, love can cross dimensions and carry to the other side their sincere promise that they will not forget, that they will return. With love we strive to survive. With love we stand the test of time. About that, the film taught us a lively lesson while moving so many people to tears.
Science fiction films can't stop at intimidating people with a magnificent future world or impressing them using merely some awesome laser guns or magical flashing lights. They need to discover deep meanings. As sci-fi films taking a more and more important part of modern filming industry, film crews have to acknowledge that only a film with meaning can last long as the motionless time goes by. With the love and spirit hiding inside, Interstellar deserves to be one of the greatest sci-fi films ever made in history. It keeps stimulating us that even facing the most desperate darkness, never go gentle into that good night.
