Interstellar

 

Christopher Nolan just never dissapoints, I can safely say this after the very original Inception(2010) and his latest mark onto cinema, Interstellar. He simply makes movie magic, and so many factors click correctly.

It's about space explorers and scientists who travel through a wormhole in order to find a potenially habitable planet that will enable humanity to survive and move on from Earth, which is scarce on natural resources and is troubled with dangerous dusks.

Matthew McConaughey plays an astronaut who leads the team into another galaxy, the farthest mankind has ever been. Since it's sci-fi, some elements and scenes are philosophically represented, such as the fifth dimension, how they are filmed traveling through the wormhole and Cooper getting launched around the black hole at the climax, with the principle of these depictions being based upon Kip Thorne's theories.

But it's also very scientific with launching and operating the systems, gathering data, analyse situations and reach a consensus. So Interstellar is all of that plus it's also a grand adventure with some emotional moments such as the time gaps between the explorers and Cooper's family at home, or Cooper's relationship with Murph most of all, and the connection they share at the clever plot twist.

It's no secret that the director is a fan of the late Stanley Kubrick and 2001: A Space Odyssey(1968), and Interstellar felt grand similarly, but obviously they have different outcomes. The cinematography is beautiful, with natural scenery including a region from Iceland, but plenty of outer space too.

The soundtrack is uplifting, encouraging and adventurous, Michael Caine throws in his regular intelligent quote while collaborating with Nolan, it has several levels of entertainment and it really is an experience to witness the exploration and adventure most of all. I thank you once again for delivering exceptionally mr.Nolan.

I cannot wait to see how appreciated this film will be over the years to come, as well as Nolan's next work, which is still shrouded in mystery. A second view will also be required in order to grasp the deeper concepts.
