Review of Interstellar (2014) by Nedryerson1 — 08 Jan 2015

Interstellar is a mind-blowing movie, there is no way to summarize it in order to convince the audience to go see it. The next work of Christopher Nolan arrives with much more strength than Inception, not only because we jump from dreams to space, but also because is noticeable the consolidation that reached this director.

First is the setting of the story, the life of mankind in the Earth has come to an end, although the interesting thing is how Nolan shows it, from the point of view of a family. Here it is clear the importance that acquires the human side in the story (which is also present in Nolan's filmography), and this theme from the beginning to the end is the protagonist.

Some examples are the decision that Cooper has to make, whether going to space but miss seeing his children grow or stay; and the other one is probably the most heartbreaking scene of the movie, when the protagonist sees the compilation video (astonishing performance btw).

This whole thing aims to evaluate human behavior, sometimes subconsciously (Inception, Memento) and others rationally (Interstellar), but both about survival instincts. Another amazing things about the picture are: the visual effects, obviously, how the crew gather the current info and theories about the aspect of a real dark hole; second, how it exhibits the concept of relativity; and finally, the representation of time as a tangible dimension.

The film keeps you on the edge of your seat for nearly 3 hours, definitely nothing like what has been seen before.
