Review of Interstellar (2014) by Angie C — 02 Feb 2016
Interstellar is an epic space drama. Well acted. It is a fantasy and must be appreciated as such. As far fetched as some of the plot is, the portrayal of space-time must be taken with a grain of salt for amusement only. This gets to an extreme when the protagonist goes through a black hole and ends up in a room on the other side of the wall of his farm homestead on Earth!
Despite the frustration of the absurdity and illogical parts, some fantastic imagery is presented as the audience experience distant alien worlds. The most stunning of these is the water on Miller's planet, where 1 hour is equal to 7 years on Earth due to the gravitational proximity to Gargantua, a nearby black hole. The fist fight with Matt Damon is completely absurd. Surely two men on the surface of a strange alien planet would not resort to rolling around wrestling after such a task of arriving on the planet has been successfully made. Alas, this is Hollywood and we must put aside such plot gaps. The protagonist's reunion with his older daughter is mind tinkering.
Not a classic film, but a good solid one for science fiction buffs.
