Exhilarating story, acting, visuals and scope.

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2014)

I first heard of Interstellar in October 2013, and managed to avoid all information about this film until seeing this, watching the teaser trailer released in November 2013 just moments before heading to the IMAX to get an idea of the story.
What I was not prepared for was the scale of the film and the story. This film is really a must see, and only when you see it will you understand that statement.
A lot of the complaints with this film has been with the plot and not understanding the science behind it. The science behind it was easy for me to understand considering I have an A levels in Physics, but all the concepts you need to understand and know in order to follow story is all there and is repeatedly gone over throughout the film in one form or another. The last third of the film made use of these concepts to provide a very unique take on the corner of physics this movie is situated in, in the process it offered an exhilarating twist for sci-fi fans who managed to follow the physics.
The heart of the film really lies in the score and acting though. Sensational work all around the board and Matthew McConoughay delivers some truly outstanding moments of raw emotion throughout the film.
I've choose to give little away in this review, but if you haven't seen the film and are worried that the science may trouble you fear not - searching on YouTube for a quick beginners guide to general relativity in relation to time and gravity should give you everything you need to know for the concepts which make up this film (again, I got that Interstellar would be using these concepts from the teaser trailer so it really isn't a spoiler to say you may want to fill yourself in on that if you feel you may need to).
My brother has not sat A levels yet and his experience to this film was different from mine as he struggled to keep with the concepts this film has made so vital to its story. This seems to be a common complaint for everyone who did not like this movie - but after explaining the physics to him he re saw the movie and his feelings changed to fall in line with mine.
I walked out of this film feeling like this was the best experience of my life at the cinema, but I have waited over a month to share my review to see if that statement holds true and if my feelings toward the movie has dulled, I am pleased to say it has not - even with the release of Fury which I have seen after watching Interstellar and also loved.
