Interstellar, Clearly a Chris Nolan film

Rating: 9/10 (29 January 2015)

Chris continues to twist the minds of movie goers with intersteller. Nolan respects the intelligence of his viewer by allowing the story to open up to them and not just spoon feeding us plot points. There were plot holes and missing information, but not know how a car is built doesn't stop you from driving it. And Intersteller was driven by its acting. This film had all the touches we've grown to love from Nolan, he also pulled from Spielberg in certain moments that worked with the nature of the film, and favored 1997's Contact, but none enough to lose focus on the story.. Did this feel a bit like inception, towards the end, of course it did. The difference was the time put into really ending this story with some closure. This amazing ensemble of actors propelled this film to heights above your typical Sci Fi film. The full circle plot became predictable around the middle of the film, it was all too obvious what was to come, But overshadowed by the amazing performances by Matthew McConaughey, Anna Hathaway, Michael Cain, and the unexpected Matt Damon. It is rare that we see an Oscar winning actor come in midway in the film, deliver, then out, this is something I would like to see more of. So despite a inception like story and questionable plot wholes this film was entertaining. With out the great acting this would be a 7. But this gets an 8.8 from me.
