‘Interstellar’ – MyView

Interstellar theatrical poster

Judge me all you can but I did not see the trailer of this movie before I actually went and watched it (which is totally unlike me). I did not even have the slightest idea if this movie existed! But now I can’t even stop thinking about it. It has jolted me left, right and center!

Christopher Nolan has left his audience speechless, yet again but this time I guess we are gonna be awestruck for a much much longer period till he hits us again! It is a long movie but every ounce of the movie seemed logical. What is still in the theories, this man wove it so intricately that it just bangs your head with “OMG! wow!” scene after scene.

The beginning was a little tricky but as the movie paces, things fall into places and makes perfect sense. The movie starts with an old lady narrating the story about her father and how there was a scarcity of resources on Earth. Her father, Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), a former NASA test pilot-turned-farmer still enthusiastic about controlling flying drones, decoding binary codes made by dust, almost crashing NASA headquarters and well, piloting Endurance (the spacecraft), and not to forget flying into the worm hole in search of the potential habitable planets to save the mankind. But! the glitch being that he was never meant to save the world, he was instead a sort of catalyst to help his daughter save the people! Just when you thought the story was getting predictable, Nolan smacks you with his theory of extra-dimensional where time is physical! WOAAH!

The journey is detailed and I hope this timeline designed by Dogan Can Gundogdu helps.

P.S. I think its a typo where black hole should actually be a worm hole as Gargantua is the only black hole with the tesseract in it.

The cast includes amazing performances delivered by Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, Casey Affleck, Mackenzie Foy and of course the voice of TARS (another sidekick after Dobby I am in love with) by Bill Irwin.

This movie is a must watch and I am awestruck by it so much that I have started rating movies as “bad”, “okay”, “good” and “interstellar” ! 😛

P.S. – Unlike me, please watch the trailer before you go to the theaters!
