Review of Interstellar (2014) by Jose D — 12 Jul 2017

When the trailers came out for this film I wasn't interested in the slightest. Christopher Nolan has impressed me in the past with pretty great films, even though I was never really a big fan of the dark night trilogy. I was aware of his talent in his previous works but I never gave them enough value for what they are. One thing I've noticed from his films is that he engages the audience in thought provoking situations that even makes oneself question what they beheld on screen. The film inception achieves that by emerging the audience in a style of filmmaking that is scarce today and should be practiced more often, but Nolan also tackles thought provoking themes and plots that will never fade away.

Interstellar was his next attempt in making a great film that would change the way people view space exploration, by also integrating a father daughter relationship in the center of the story. When I first saw this film, I was stunned by what I beheld and almost considered it too good to be true. I for one am a big science fiction fanatic with favorite Hollywood blockbusters such as Star Wars, E.T., Jurassic Park, ect... but interstellar brought me the pleasure of viewing realistic scientific theories about space and time while maintaining a fictional plot.

I don't remember a moment in the film where I felt bored or uninterested, because every moment in the movie was not only shot beautifully, but executed to near perfection as the actors pushed themselves to great limits. Matthew McConaughey did an excellent job portraying his character Cooper and carried out an emotional scene later in the film that jerked a few tears. His effort and success in his character is was oscar worthy. I definitely think everyone should see this film, even if you end up hating it.
