Interstellar is the best science fiction film I have ever seen. My mind was completely blown away from this film. I’m so mad at myself for not watching it any sooner. I already can’t wait to watch it again and find things I missed or just awe at the gorgeous cinematography or Hans Zimmer’s breathtaking score. 

This film truly transported me through space with our main characters. I have never felt so there in a sci fi film such as this. The places Christopher Nolan took us not only visually but on an emotional level as well. The stakes we are taken on were absolutely crazy. If I’m being honest I didn’t know what this film was about on a deeper level. I just saw oh pretty space movie. But what watched was so much more and couldn’t be happier about that. 

The story Christopher Nolan takes us on was one I was expecting. It got heavier by the minute and then an hour and half into the movie you’re mind is truly blown. Earth is dying and there’s a secret NASA group trying save humanity. Which definitely felt like something that could happen in our society. The mission’s only enemy is time for Mattew McConaughey’s character Cooper. He doesn’t want to lose any time with his daughter. The real space science in this film is what makes the plot and struggle for our characters so heavy. To see a father venture in space to save the human race and not age at all then to come back and his daughter to be beyond his age. It just really hits you in the gut. 

I really love leaving a film that makes me think a lot after watching it. Or asking myself tons of questions that are beyond the credits of a film. And if I’m being honest not a lot movies do that to me, it’s only special ones like Interstellar. We get to go beyond space and time in this film and that may not make sense if you haven’t seen it. But my friends that have you know exactly what I mean. That whole sequence blew my mind. Then the final frames of the film when you are wanting to keep going beyond like there’s more for our main characters. Then boom credits and you are left with Hans Zimmer’s beautiful score in your head and thoughts of what could’ve been next. 

Overall, if you could not tell from reading all of this I had absolutely amazing time watching this film. Like I said in my review for The Prestige, I have been sleeping on Christopher Nolan’s films for a bit too long. Gotta get Oppenheimer ready. If you are like me and haven’t watched this film yet do yourself a favor and put it on the top of your list right now.
