Interstellar

[TRIFORCE89]

Spoiler:

I've been following this since I caught wind of what Nolan's next movie would be, and I saw it finally last night. I literally cannot describe to you just how breathtakingly beautiful this movie is, from the special effects to the emotion and philosophy and the story telling. I couldn't handle the emotional roller coaster, one minute you're on the brink of tears and the next your jaw is on the floor from the special effects of the black hole or the wormhole. And the scene with the bookcase and Murph in 5 dimensions was nothing short of a total mind**** - I've never seen anything like that done before. The actors were great, the curveball with Matt Damon was pretty cool, I loved the part about how he was supposedly "the best of us", but then was willing to sacrifice his humanity, doom everyone on earth to save himself, and is essentially is the antithesis of McConaughey and the entire film. I was completely blown away by what I saw and if you still doubted Nolan before this, this will open your eyes. It's what movies should be.

tl;dr

Prepare to be amazed for nearly three hours

Yeah, all of this. I thought it was a grand, wonderful, beautiful movie.

Sooo, I'm just back from seeing it. It was awesome! I think the graphics designers did a really good job about representing all these physics theories and making it understandable to watch.
Also, the acting was great, the story and the emotion was great.



And man... THAT SOUNDTRACK!

This, in a cinema, at very loud sound volume, during an action scene... Eargasm. Plus it goes up in intensity during a couple of minutes.

Oh my god. Did anyone else notice the ticking noise going on in the music on the water planet? No wonder I was at the edge of my seat there, I can't listen to more than a few seconds of this before nearly crying with goosebumps. Zimmer did such a fantastic job in this movie it should be illegal:

A couple of friends told me the movie was good and wanted me to tag along, so eh, I did. The music and visuals were awesome, sure, but

Spoiler:

in all honesty, I would have preferred it to end in the time dimension or whatever. The happy ending felt really... I don't know, forced? It would have been a lot cooler, in my opinion, if the movie had ended with the main character stuck in time limbo with the knowledge that he could have made a difference if he'd listened to his daughter, but unable to fix it now.

I seem to be the only one who was happy that the movie got a happy ending :D

Spoiler:

I've heard so many complain about the last 10 minutes or so but I would even have been happy if Cooper reached Brand in the end.

 

[maccrash]

I don't really perceive the ending to be happy. he finally gets to see his daughter one last time, but she's really old and dies. it's bittersweet, really.

I thought it was rather sweet overall. Their relationship had already reached catharsis when she understood the watch's ticking, and Cooper got a new life to spend in the other galaxy with Brand. It was a pretty awesome ending, stupid coincidences aside.

i found the last 10 or so minutes with mcconaughey rather gimmicky so i'm not completely licking nolan's ass on this one
like
i thoroughly loved that particular scene when i was watching it but when i left and started thinking about that particular part (being vague in order to not spoil), i was thinking 'well huh, that was a rather convenient way to tie things together. whatever, i guess.'
that's my only criticism though

everything else i loved about the movie
the score, the cinematography, matt damon, etc
didn't like the underlying white saviour narrative that's present throughout so many space movies, but i guess that's something that will be discussed by a person far more learned than i

overall, an 8.5 out of 10
can't wait to see what oscars it gets
