Nolan does it again

Rating: 8/10 (16 November 2014)

Christopher Nolan has finally cemented his legacy as one of the great film makers of his generation. Interstellar's strength doesn't lie in the emotional gravity of its characters nor in the artistic vision it attempts to portray. Rather, similar to many of Nolan's other films, Interstellar's strength lies in complex concepts that Nolan so masterfully incorporates into a thrilling plot and relevant premise.
The concept of time is once again revisited and conveyed with the same craft Nolan displayed in Inception and Memento; an apparent trademark in his arsenal. The concept of wormholes and quantum physics is gradually explained to the audience in a comprehensible manner through the scientists/astronauts/professors. As we begin to understand such concepts, the movie becomes increasingly gripping as it progresses and leads to other potential possibilities. All this is underlined by Hans Zimmer's epic score which is synchronised perfectly with the story.
Judging from the reviews of his previous films, Interstellar will probably draw much debate, especially over the validity of its science. However such debate will be irrelevant as Nolan probably intended for the focal point of the movie to be based around the idea of the transcendence of time.
