Review of Interstellar (2014) by Waleed A — 01 Jun 2018

I rate this movie 5.5/5.0 to signify it's greatness. perfection. mind blowing. a workout for your brain. I want to have debates about it. I want to write research papers on it. amazingly unbelievably awesome, this is the kind of movie that opens up your mind. lots of amazing scenes with epic music. a killer story told flawlessly. perfect directing by the best ever. great cast with great acting. a deep psychological aspect explored for numerous characters. the most renowned theoretical physicist who is an expert on cosmology was brought on to keep the science honest, as well as a retired astronaut who's been to space five times. One of the rare movies that is better the second, and even the third time watching. The only movie I have ever liked the most the fourth time I've watched it. I keep picking up on more things in the movie, and understanding better overall. So many parts are extremely moving and powerful. It does an awesome job of making you feel what the characters are feeling. (7 viewings).

SPOILERS.

Lots of awesome concepts that made me think, like murphy's law not applying close to a black hole, five dimensions with gravity being the fifth (or maybe love, or maybe parallel universes), human survival instincts and it encompassing your children, quantifying love, the black hole and time relativity. the robots were cool and original. really awesome visuals of things i've wondered about but never really imagined. I liked the depiction of the 5 dimensions in 3D in the daughters book room. the way everything connected was very awesome. the different planets were so interesting with ice clouds and giant tidal waves. the endings were perfect.

Something I noticed that I didn't realize the first time was the reason his son became dark and a little crazy. He was still a good person, even after experiencing the death of his daughter. However, once his wife convinced him to let go of the idea that his father was coming back, he gave up on everything in life and became a horrible husband, father and brother. The relationship between the father and daughter was the best relationship I can remember in any movie I've seen. The primary underlying theme in the movie was the love between a father and his daughter being able to transcend space and time, which is the key to her getting the information she needed to save the world.

[11/26, 4:48 PM] Waleed: Malik I have a theory but would have to watch it again to see. Are the future humans that can make blackholes, living on the man-made stations that are orbiting around different planets in the future. And then maybe the plan was to send a message back to the past to try to get them to find a good planet to live on so that the human race can survive on a planet rather than live on stations only.

[11/26, 4:49 PM] Waleed: Or the other theory I had was that originally plan B was the one that worked and a colony survived and eventually was able to do what they did and wanted to save all the people that ended up dying on earth and try to make plan a work.

[11/28, 4:44 PM] Waleed: So she finds out that plan a was a sham. That the professor had already solved the equation years ago before she even met him. That he knew even with solving the equation that they couldn't figure out how to get the people of the earth. She found out that they knew that they were never gonna come back and they were going to let everyone on earth to die. So every day since she was 10 that she has been hoping her father would come home was a lie. She should have never been hoping. Her entire 20 years that she dedicated her life to working on this was a complete waste . But that's not a good enough reason for her to be angry?

[11/28, 4:49 PM] Waleed: It stopped being moving TO YOU. The love between them was the only reason the world ended up being saved. It's the only reason she kept trying that hard after all those years. Is the only reason she went back to her house in her room. It's the only reason she saw the watch again. It's the only reason she figured out that the watch twitching was her dad sending the data.

[12/2, 3:32 PM] Waleed: They got the best theoretical physicist expert in cosmology to keep the movie honest. And a retired astronaut who's been to space as a technical consultant.

[12/2, 11:56 PM] Waleed: Like I said before, the prevalent underlying theme is the love between a father and daughter which ends up making it possible to save the people on earth. Love is an unquantifiable force that transcends time and space. Ata's theory is very interesting that love is the fifth dimension. Maybe?!?!

12/2/16 text to malik: I watched interstellar again wow. I found a flaw in my theory that in the original timeline they used Plan B and then when they became advanced they went back to try to get Matthew McConaughey so they could save the people that died on earth. The problem is how would they have gotten past the problems with redocking back into the spinning blown up ship after Matt Damon owned them. It actually makes perfect sense because in the original timeline Matthew McConaughey would not have convinced them to go to dr. Mann's planet, Anne Hathaway would have convinced them to go to Edmunds Planet which was the right one anyways.
