Masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (4 April 2020)

This movie has every element of a masterpiece. I can't find a single problem with Interstellar. As a child, I was fascinated by the stars and the cosmos in general. Interstellar took me back to those days when as a kid I was wondering what's going on up there. The plot of the movie is in near future, in a time when the earth can no longer grow seeds, and what are humans without food? They are going to starve! They need a new planet for surviving. Unlike many other Sci-Fi movies, Nolan didn't try to give a futuristic theme to his movie and rightly so. There are no Neon lights here! The story is about a pilot named "Cooper" brilliantly played by Matthew McConaughey who was once a pilot for NASA. But since the economy is down, NASA has shut down its operations and he craves for the time when he could still fly. Due to some gravitational anomalies, he somehow manages to find the secret location for NASA because they are still active secretly. As the movie continue, he is employed by NASA once again and with a team of scientists, they fly towards the Saturn where there is a wormhole and it's a gateway to another galaxy. Cooper has to left behind his family and especially his daughter whom he is very attached to. It's a heartbreaking scene when he leaves his house and starts his journey. In the foreign galaxy, there are three possible planets that may support the human life. They visit each one of them and a lot happens in between. Some of the crew members die and it's not a surprise because that is not a normal journey. At the end of the movie, we see human kind survived, but they are not on earth anymore. There are a lot of memorable scenes, like when their ship is passing by Saturn or when they enter the wormhole. The scene where Cooper sees 23 years of videos of his family from earth made me cry, and I'm not an emotional person. How must it feels to know you have lost 23 years of your children's lives for almost nothing? Hans Zimmer's music is one of a kind, and do not disappoint as always. It adds to the wonder and awe of the viewer about the amazing cosmos. Christopher Nolan deserves a standing ovation for this work of ultimate art. This is the first time that I have reached double digits for watching a movie. I have watched Interstellar 10 times and every time I enjoyed for the whole 2 hours and 49 minutes. It's safe to stay that Interstellar is my favorite movie of all time and the first movie that I am writing a review for it on IMDb. The whole cast and crew did an amazing job. I feel as though this movie was made for me and it captures the essence of what I feel about cinema and the cosmos itself. 10/10.
