My 5th dimension on #Interstellar lol.. Im a big fan of Christopher Nolans work so may be youll find my review side effect of fan fanatics but Ill be 90% Honest. Hes one of those directors that never fails to impress, bringing originality, entertainment, and most importantly, philosophy and theoretical concepts to the big screen. Interstellar was one of my most anticipated films of the year and it doesnt disappoint. Nolan has dumbed down the action and replaced it with heart wrenching emotion and drama instead. All the other trademarks are still there, stunning visuals, smarts, and a complex story that makes you think. The future the film progresses, the more preposterous it seems, but always pushing the question, what if? What if? Its not his best film, but I guarantee the roller-coaster ride is enthralling, the emotion is real, and Interstellar should fall into the category of one of the most thought-provoking sci-fi movies of all time. Its a roller-coaster ride of transcendental thought process too. Time as a relative theory, astrology as a whole, time-travel, Einsteins general relativity, Morse code, rotating black-hole and lot other complexities are dealt in Interstellar, lot other high level thinking is mandatory to go about the narration of this movie when our very little brain cells have a tough time differentiating between just a movie being watched in a cinema hall or being part of a galactic expedition in space. Interstellar is a movie about a group of space travelers on a picaresque journey across the wormhole to find a habitable planet other than earth. Sounds familiar? Weve had Blade Runner, A Space Odyssey, Contact or the recent Gravity along with numerous other ambitious takes on such top level prophecies, but what makes Interstellar a suffocating, impactive film? The amount of study that has gone into the making of the film is equivalent to a new find. Be it the concept of dimensions, futuristic world, or the unexplainable science topics, this film also about a father-daughter relationship too, so with the mixture Interstellar has propelled itself to the pinnacle by an undeniably superior story, astute screenplay and stellar performances from the uncanny yet stubborn Mathew McConaughey as Cooper the pilot, Mr. Cooper is a farmer by choice but a trained pilot and engineer by profession and a single father too. Jessica Chaistan as Murphy-the abandoned bright daughter. Anne Hathaway as Amelia a committed scientist, Micheal Caine as Dr. Brand the chief. My favorites tinmen TARS and CASE. Taking the Dust bowl as a primary setting for the story to have a beginning, An ex-NASA who still believes the plight of their blight filled earth can be taken over by inhabiting another planet. A daughter who doesnt want him to go on a NASA powered voyage fearing his return on solid ghost instincts. Well let me stop it there on making a futile attempt of describing the story. The visual effects for a Nolan film has recreated unseen visuals of the wormhole, the outer space, inhabited planets of the other galaxy and of course the beautiful earth. The graphics and other digitally composited elements in the film are pretty much the lifeline for the film, making the unseen portions of outer space look so convincing to us and not a compromised, make believe platform. Taking each and every details into account. How will the engines of a space shuttle sound, how is sound transmitted in a planet that has only 80% gravity, how does a button sound when it is pressed by a finger that has astronauts gloves on it? And..Its just more then perfect with Hans Zimmer music. The musical support in the film is a parachute like lifesaver for such a hard hitting story. He can never get tired of writing top class music scores. Complexity of the story elevates the film and positions it to an unreachable height of excellence and creativity. Interstellar has been filmed with anamorphic 35mm and IMAX 70 mm to give a different visage for the story. Hoyte Van Hoytemas (what word could you think of to describe his skill) cinematography will become a standard procedure on how science-fictions are to be shot. Its the nail-biting sequence of the shuttle docking into the mother-ship or the take-off into the space or the scene where Cooper gets to watch a video sent from his family. Due to this each element of the movie is wow. Movie made on a whopping budget of 165 million dollars, Nolan almost returned 10 million after filming from the original allocated budget. Private corn fields were bought and cultivated to be used as a major backdrop. Special IMAX cameras were made to shoot the interiors of the cockpit. Exclusively Robots were made for the film. 100 hours for rendering a single CG powered frame and what not first-timer for a film. Interstellar has started a race of its own for generation of film makers to follow. After all the complexities and science rules Interstellar dealt in mind as an emotional tale about the cosmos of survival of next human generation. This piece of writing has no spoilers and talks nothing about, how great the film is. It is just an immediate response.
