The love that a parent has for its child and the fierce loyalty their bond carries. One first light it seems to be a story about a father and his daughter. The amount of sheer data and little nuances amongst the film is rife for multiple viewings and viewings done with a critical eye. Very rarely can I find a movie that stands up to multiple viewings in a short period of time, but Interstellar happens to be one of those lucky few films. Watching it a second time gleaned much more information and a third viewing gives so much more to the story. Even if that means leaving everyone on Earth behind to continue the survival of the species.Īfter watching it a first time I honestly thought I hadn’t really captured the essence of the movie. Out in the vast reaches of space Cooper has to battle his inner demons as well as the demons of the whole crew in a last ditch effort to save what they can of humanity. Brand’s daughter (Anne Hathaway), they set out across space and time to find humanity a home once more. Brand (Michael Caine) to lead one last Hail Mary expedition through a wormhole to find a world.Ĭombined with a military robot, Dr. Being an Ex NASA pilot in a world that doesn’t need pilots anymore, Tom is chosen by Dr. Hidden and kept from sight, the remnants of NASA have been forming secret launch missions over the last decade with the goal of finding habitable new worlds for them to inhabit. This all comes to an end when he stumbles upon secret government installation that daughter finds the coordinates to. Living with his daughter Murphy (Mackenzie For as a 10 years old and Jessica Chastain grown up) and his son Tom (Timothee Chalamet as a 10 year old and Casey Affleck as an adult) on a corn farm with his father and law Donald (John Lithgow), he struggles to help feed the starving humanity. Joseph Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) is a NASA trained pilot turned farmer out of necessity. Corn, Wheat and a few others represent the last of humanities food sources and the Earth itself is withering away in old age. We’re basically running out of resources and humans are down to only a few crops left that they can grow. After watching on my home theater I rather wish I had ended up going to the theater as it ended up being an amazing experience, albeit one that required a few times of viewing to get completely won over.įast forward 40 years or so and the earth is in deep trouble. Movies like “Batman Begins”, “Inception” and “Memento” are works of art, while “The Dark Knight Rises”, “The Prestige” and “Insomnia” (which is one of the only movies that I know of that actually CURES insomnia) fall flat as a board for me. Nolan has been a bit hit or miss for me, as I think the man tends to get wrapped up in his own hype. People seemed to either hate the movie or end up considering it a religious experience and with such opposite opinions I felt a little nervous about going to a nice expensive IMAX showing. I originally missed Interstellar in theaters due to EXTREMELY polarizing opinions on the matter across the interwebs. The story unfolding is done at a slow and steady pace, but done so that spoiling things near the beginning will most definitely spoil things along the way. Nolan’s entry into Science Fiction is probably, nay not probably, CERTAINLY best watched with as little information as possible going in. One of the hardest parts of analyzing these films is deciding what to right here without spoiling the movie for you. I’m going to have to tread lightly on this review.
