amazing

Rating: 9/10 (27 August 2015)

i want to give this a 10/10. i really do. the emotional spectrum of this mind blowing journey with so many moments that just made you feel how much hope means to people, and through the futile journey of loss and longing you can either cling on to that last, flickering hope, or you can just let it go. i loved the main character, coop was such a privilege to watch, and mcconaughey has yet to let me me down. most of the other performances were good, with anne hathaway being as mediocre as ever except in a select few moments, like at the end. i normally don't like space movies, or any movie like gravity, for that matter. they just make me have that feeling of loneliness and despair, because i could not imagine a world in which id want to go into space. but this movie takes that and taps into it so well, especially with the character of dr. mann, who i really couldn't blame for trying to abandon the other astronauts to get home. there are only a couple of reasons i didn't give this a 10/10. it was very confusing, and i consider myself to be a fairly well educated person, and i usually understand complex things. but i had to go to wikipedia towards the end of the movie because i really did not get what was happening. yes, the way they wrote the script was so that they'd explain everything after the whole confusing morse and binary code scene was over, but still. also, it took me a while to try to figure out exactly what dr. mann was trying to do when he attacked coop, because they really didn't mention that they had low fuel until after he died. and i don't think he knew they had low fuel, so why didn't he just tell them that the planet was inhabitable and they could all go home TOGETHER. and lastly, i heard a good amount of this movie's appeal was the visual effects, and i didn't watch interstellar in theaters, rather, i watched it on my laptop so i kind of got to see some of the flaws of the movie without my judgement being partially blinded by the amazing visuals, which were still pretty good on my mac.
