Incredible

Rating: 9/10 (25 July 2016)

Interstellar is an amazing movie. Up until the first time I watched it, I had never been so certain to call a movie a 'masterpiece'. Aside from the great cinematography and other material aspects of the movie, what I love is that it has a bit of everything. Action, thrills, drama, science; they're usually found in some point of the movie. Also the varying philosophical concepts tackled in the movie that provoke thought, such as fear of death as a determinant of survival, care for future invisible generations, and love as an entity transcending normal perception. All these and more, are what I noticed put into the dialogue and characters of the film.
I don't much understand the people who criticize the movie, saying that it's overreaching - too ambitious - or that it's too absurd, among other things. Nolan wasn't afraid to explore scientific speculations and put them in a grand adventure with solid characters, complete with touching moments. Perhaps the only scrape I have with it is that it's very long, and re-watching it can take a while - maybe it could have been better encapsulated.
(Right, I forgot to mention Hans Zimmer's music. It is nothing short of extraordinary and what makes Interstellar whole.)
