Nolan's Masterpiece

Rating: 7/10 (4 August 2015)

This is by far the most entertaining movie I have seen given the number of plot holes and inaccuracies (which I will get to shortly). I concur with everyone who has seen it in saying that Interstellar is a visually stunning movie. If you didn't have a chance to see it in IMAX you really did miss out.
The soundtrack is very overpraised in my opinion. Yes, it has the organ... if this is your principal praise then unfortunately you don't know much about what makes a good soundtrack. The audio could definitely be better but I thought the decibel level was appropriate (some viewers reported faulty audio in theaters but I did not have this experience).
As for inaccuracies and plot holes... Does anyone find it a bit odd that the transdimensional beings/future humans would decide to help humanity, and by extension themselves, survive by placing a wormhole in orbit around Saturn (necessitating the most ambitious spaceflight in human history) leading to a black hole system in another galaxy with a dozen potentially habitable planets requiring the astronauts to explore each one in turn? How about... I don't know... fixing the blight on Earth instead.
If NASA sent space probes to orbit the planets beforehand, wouldn't they already have a good idea of which planets were habitable? Wouldn't they at least know not to land on the water planet with the unrealistically large tidal waves since a glance at the surface shows it's entirely covered in water? Why did the astronauts conclude that because the place they landed in had 1 foot of water that the entire planet was covered in water? Why not just look out the window of the space ship and conclude "yep, definitely covered in water". How is TARS supposed to "transmit" the "quantum data" out of the black hole? Why did humanity cease producing MRIs because of crop shortages? Why did the US military design their combat robots after Minecraft characters?
Perhaps the most frustrating plot hole is the "bootstrap paradox" inherent to the plot. It is based on a non-linear theory of time that doesn't have much support in the physics community and is especially hard to accept when its justification in the movie is love.
And yet somehow... despite all of the above plot holes, inaccuracies, and other general grievances, Interstellar still manages to be the best movie of 2014 by a huge margin. This movie easily earns the 9 stars. It is so entertaining that, even though you catch all the inaccuracies while you're watching it, you just don't care. Future generations of space faring humans will look back and see movies like this as a part of our contemporary cultural yearn for exploring beyond the Earth's gravity well. And for that, I am grateful to Christopher Nolan.
