Wow, this was trippy. I am not just saying that for the plot but just the visuals, the world-building, and the acting. I mean how does someone come up with this stuff but then figure out how to make it a movie? I first want to start and talk about the plot. This plot which people say is confusing was not really. I mean it was complex but I understood it the entire time. I loved especially how Nolan was able to combine his love of sci-fi with complex human values. One idea of sacrificing the whole of civilization to isolation and solitude, I loved. Especially how each of these values corrupts humans. However, the only thing that was a positive factor was love. Every decision that dealt with love was the one that was the most successful and helped society the best. For example, when Anne Hathaway’s character goes to the base of her loved one, it is the one where the world is. When Mathew's naughty character sacrifices his life out of love, his daughter can find a solution to transport humanity. I found the message to be love is the way to navigate space and time. By following love, you can find your true destination. This film also could not have survived without the actors. Everyone in this film was great. I mean I think that Mathew McHaughhey carried but I think one low-key under rated actor was Matt Damon. Damon was the epitome of loneliness and solitude. He was able to show what this would look like and how a human would respond to losing all hope. I also think the actress who played young Murph did such a good job of showing what it is like to be left. I mean her sadness and how she was able to start the character development of Murph I thought was wonderful. I lastly want to talk about how beautiful this film was. I mean from the waves to the ice, to space itself. The whole movie was just breathtaking to look at. I mean even the robots were a refreshing take on something that is usually so simple. The whole look of the film allowed people to connect to the trippiness of the film. I mean the bookcases themselves were just crazy. I mean he was able to capture the idea of infinity through bookcases. I am also sure if you are not aware but Interstellar also was sort of the first major rendering of a black hole. I mean that just goes to show how good, realistic, and beautiful this movie is. Overall, I thought this movie was really good. It does not have any negatives but it is just too much for me at some points. Like I know saying something is too complex is a good thing but it is kind of just a bit overwhelming. I mean it opened my eyes but at the same time made me wont to close them because of how complex it got. Still a great movie but Oppenheimer is better. 8.4/10
