Interstellar Review

This is a spoiler free review of Interstellar, starring Matthew McCaughney, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chaistain, Mackenzie Foy.

What comes to your mind when you hear the word-Science Fiction? Action? Visuals? Vfx?

And what if I add a term, Drama? Emotion?

What would you first think of?

I'd say Interstellar, and only Interstellar. That's the basic premise I could form for this film.

A visual Extravaganza made with the right amount of visuals, drama, and most importantly love. This film beautifully captures the life between a father and his daughter. Christopher Nolan has yet again not failed to surprise us with his new space venture, that has many stories, all concluding down to one.

Plotline:

The film is set in a futuristic world, which does not have large buildings , and flying cars or very advanced tech. No. The setting is more of an apocalyptic one, where the Earth has stopped sustaining crops, due to frequent sandstorms. Crops can't grow well now. The warning has rung that Earth is slowly becoming inhabitable. The world needs no more engineers. It's all about time when humans become extinct. So NASA recruits Cooper(played by Matthew), to do an interstellar travel through a wormhole that appeared 48 years ago, and you know, save the world. The adventures form the crest of the story.

The storyline is a very basic one, but the scientific terms might tangle you. But it does'nt harm the film in any way. An apocalyptic setting, makes it more interesting and you will not feel bored for even a moment. I really loved the way emotional attachment between a father and his daughter is depicted. This father-daughter setting is more prevelant in the story rather than the apocalypse or the interstellar travel.

Direction:

Christopher Nolan has yet again delivered a masterpiece. Just like you loved The Dark Knight, Inception, you'll again love this one. I think I don't have anything to say more on this. You'll comprehend me when you watch this flick.

Music:

Hanz Zimmer has yet again proved his mettle of giving life to the film. After successful collaborations with Nolan on Inception ,The Dark Knight, you can add Interstellar to this list. Each second of score fits perfectly to the scene and the emotion it wants to convey. I really liked the score of the Cornfield Chase scene, and the ending almost brought me to tears. All praises to Zimmer.

Performances:

The whole does a good job. Matthew and Jessica are the main cast, and they deserve the real praise. Mackenzie was great as a kid, Anne's role was also good, though I personally think she should have been given more significance. Micheal Caine was also good. All the cast did a stellar job.

Technical Aspects:

Visual Effects had a great role in the storyline, and they did justice to the film. They were just OUTSTANDING. Film editing was also good. Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, and all the other technical aspects were handled well.Shooting with the IMAX cameras was a good decision, as it did full justice to the film. The whole technical crew deserves a praise.

Verdict:

I would recommend to watch this drama, not just for the visuals or the performances, but also for the emotions that were effectively conveyed.

MY RATING:9.5/10

Direction:10/10

Acting:9/10

Music:10/10
