Interstellar Review

Solid A-...Nolan went for upper-case EPIC and ended up with lower-case epic. More humorous than the trailers suggest (in a BRO-sense), sometimes the music and sound were perfect, other times it was hard to hear what the characters were saying...but the actors hit their marks, the movie went by incredibly fast for me despite the running time and so many homages to sci-fy movies...all slightly twisted/different but there. As usual w/Nolan movie, all the plot points are there for the asking and almost EVERYTHING is foreshadowed. Afterwards I had a stimulating conversation w/my wife as to what was going on in the film as I've ever had on a film we saw together. She LOVED the interactions between all the characters...it really is a talking heads movie w/great action scenes and visuals in-between. The reviewers who have said it's a great movie...but...is my reaction too. It mashed up Apollo 13, Inception, The Right Stuff, 2001, etc....but he missed upper-case EPIC by a few millimeters.
