Review of Interstellar (2014) by Cameron M — 30 Apr 2018

Nolan once again produces a thrilling and awe-inspiring film with Interstellar. It reminded me of the works of Spielberg, particularly Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It also takes heavy inspiration from Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, and this ultimately hurts the film in the last 15 minutes or so.

For much of the near 3 hour run time, Interstellar remains fairly grounded within reality, but near the end it tries to bite off more than it can chew and goes into places beyond what it is really capable of.

It is however a great achievement for Christopher Nolan that something as incredible as Interstellar doesn't even make the top 5 of his films. Most directors can only dream of making 1 film as good as Interstellar over their entire careers.

Nolan not only made Interstellar, but has made at least 5 other films which are better than it. Truly he is one of this generations greatest filmmakers.
