Interstellar (Spoilers)

Interstellar exceeded my expectations on many levels despite my minor issues with certain plot points. The movie is obviously awe-inspiring with its visuals and I was very happy with the direction of the story and the surprises it offered, along with some emotional moments that had me choked up (no surprise there either). I might watch it again in the theatre next week.

I don't know if Interstellar will become the movie I want it to be, which will inspire the masses about space exploration; maybe no movie can do that for the majority of the population.

But if Interstellar even manages to breathe new life into the conversation about space exploration, if it makes some people ponder about space like they never imagined before, if it makes a new generation of people including the youth look up in the sky and wonder what if...?

Then I am thankful to Christopher Nolan for making Interstellar, as it would have served its purpose beyond just great entertainment.

Great interview with writer Jonathan Nolan.
Huge spoilers so do not read until you have seen the film.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

the movie is amazing. it might not be for everybody but its very entertaining, for me at least and even though i dont know much about space and how it works or could work/should work .. it definitely conveys a feeling of "what if" .. hans zimmer is amazing and the movie is one of my all time favorites

I'm reading "it might not be for everyone" in a lot of reviews of this movie.

It can't possibly hope to.
But it will strongly appeal to many that have thirsted for such subject matter.


"Interstellar's audience was split evenly between men (52 percent) and women, and skewed much older (75 percent were at least 25 years of age). They awarded the movie a "B+" CinemaScore, which is in line with Inception."

50M projected for weekend.

Black Holes to be precise. That is to say that Black Holes "are" precise, at least according to this movie.

I liked it. It was big, and grand, and hopeful, and sad, and looooooong, and visually amazing, and of course, the music was beautifully done as always by Hans Zimmer. It needs to be seen on the big screen...
