Outsmarted

Rating: 4/10 (29 March 2015)

Nolan's Inter-ception.
'Interstellar' stands out among other films, mainly due to its mind twisting style. We know and love Christopher Nolan for his notable plot style, shown in such good films as Prestige or Inception. Obviously, it's Christopher's passion to twist audience's minds. But this time it he outsmarted himself. Although, the film lasts almost 3 hours, it still seems not enough to tell such a huge story. The scenario covers almost a hundred year period. To fit these, a lot of scenes were unshown and therefore complex relationships things on the screen become even more complicated. The film plot lacks the feeling of enormous importance. The lives of the whole humanity depended on the result of one mission. Keeping this in mind, some scenes seem especially strange.From the farmer who randomly bumped into the "world's most secret" NASA base in the corn field and was sent into space on the next day, to the strange behavior of main characters. This makes the film unbelievable. Concerning the moral aspect, the storyline touches many discussable questions. Main of them sounds like: "Will you leave your family dying, attempting to save the world, or die with them?". It's easy to believe that little girl just don't want to let her father go. But a grown up scientist, the interstellar crew must understand the insignificance of personal demands, behind the duty of humanity. The unreality and unseriousness of the plot, combined with irrational behavior of the main characters make it hard to feel for them. But the mind blowing film style can also surprise even experienced viewer. The complexity of the plot helped the director to bring into life, his most ambitious ideas. That's worth to be praised.
