Interstellar

Caution: This Might Contain Spoilers!
If you enjoy my blog, you may enjoy my facebook page!

This film is based off the work of Kip Thorne. As the world continues dying, Cooper discovers a hidden NASA base that is seeking a way for humans to survive. They decide that the best option is to find a new home in the distant galaxy.

This film was directed by Christopher Nolan. For all those unfamiliar with Christopher Nolan's work, this film has a simple idea that is surrounding by much thought and theory. This is a science-fiction film that keeps to facts more than storytelling. It takes the various elements for theoretical time travel and presents them in a way some audiences can understand. However, where the script is not talking about love or human forgiveness is all science. This can easily bore audiences and make it difficult to comprehend. The science also frequently drowns out the human aspects of the film instead of aiding it. Even though this is a familiar plot, it has great symbolism. The idea that humans aren't only physically dying but are also mentally dying was a great ironic pull. The visuals are astounding even if the planets are not. Matthew McConaughey played the role of Cooper. He was great at playing the role of the scientist, but wasn't fully able to show the deep emotion this character needed. Anne Hathaway played the role of Brand. She was great at being the opposite of McConaughey's character; where she was more emotion than science.

I give this film 5 out of 5 stars! It is a great intellectual science fiction film that not all audiences are going to enjoy.

This film can be found on DVD.
