Here I am, reviewing one of the most compelling movies in recent times "The Interstellar". They say, in order to master a craft you need to get at it and play it yourself. Christopher Nolan got it bang on. The idea of correlating physics with phenomenon spells wonders. (ain't a work of a novice) The movie may well be a humdrum for people who don't take interest in science but the way correlation has been depicted evokes interest even for a layman. Cooper & Murphy share a bond that epitomizes father daughter relationship. A belief that her dad will come back from a space odyssey, defying the reality, achieving what has not been dreamt of till date, Murphy patiently awaits the fulfillment of a promise made to her by her dad. The movie revolves around 4 physicists on a space exploration mission by NASA for discovering habitable planets by crossing a wormhole. (jargons are unintended) The concepts pertaining to time, gravity may appear to be supernatural & non existent but then they are backed by theories and postulates. The movie also portrays what goes on in an astronaut's life when he /she is away on a mission. Back on Earth, when Cooper's children send across videos to him about the latest developments, the joy of watching them and the agony of being away from them somehow reflects on the intricacies of emotions that have been masterfully enacted by Matthew McConaughey. To see them ageing gracefully pleases Cooper only to know that the activities are to be carried out within a specific time frame and that any delay could cost mankind thousands of years. All in all, a riveting movie, fantabulous instrumentals (Hans Zimmer is a master at it) and an excellent screenplay, Interstellar is a must watch!!!
