Interstellar is a 2014 sci-fi movie directed by Christopher Nolan starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway
This movie is worth watching and is one of the great science-fiction movies of all time.
The Movie
A delight for the eyes and the mind, a movie it is hard to not watch. Besides the usual rhythm of the movies by this director, we have Matthew McConaughey (before he won an Oscar) and Anne Hathaway (who had already won one), in an action film for the box office, but with the special feature (extra) which poses questions in the manner of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Then, there is the directorยดs part, which whether you like it or not is a pure show: rhythm all over the place, danger and adventures in something that in the manner of movies of the Eighties, kept you riveted to your seat because things were interesting. This is a combination that nowadays is rarely achieved, a little like a hamburger: they add everything to it and if you donยดt like one thing, there will surely be something else that you do like (the ingredients canยดt be removed though). If you like good actors, here there is that, if you like lots of action, here you can find it; if you want adventures, here you can find themโฆ if you are intellectually oriented, well here this movie offers a lot to think about.
As one watches you think: they are going crazy. But no, they arenยดt and although wormholes havenยดt been proven yet, the issue the movie states, although a fantastic and brutal conundrum, is possible in a theory that very, very remotely (a lot of scientists have been consulted, this isnยดt me saying so). Then the plot explains so very well, almost too well to later envelope us in the sea of images that are always found in Nolanยดs movies.
Maybe he gets a little carried away in sentimentality at certain moments (we forgive him for this), but deep down this is a movie that is cinematographic in the sense of a show for the masses which, also, has food for thought if you like and offers a vision that goes much further beyond the usual. It is fantastic and is amusing (Nolan knows this well) and it sells in the papers and on the net.
Our Opinion
This movie is worth watching and is one of the great science-fiction movies of all time: not as obscure, lots of hope and more mathematical than philosophical.
Scientific entertainment for the masses? Could be, but what a great time we have with these kinds of movies.
