Interstellar (2014)
7/10
Ahead of its time, and not in a good way
19 November 2014
Just came back from the Theater after watching Interstellar, wow what a ride. there are so many talking points, so many twist and turns and it has to be one of the toughest films to rate.

let me start by saying, the film was excellent in terms of Cinematography, direction and Effects.

It also had a brilliant twist at the end, a very unique concept of dimensions and time, however, that same concept was a bit of a stretch, it was all based on theories and is just way too difficult to comprehend and ultimately believe, which weakens the films in my opinion.

I felt lost in the details and events happening in the film because most of it was based on too much scientific talk, so i was lost in translation so to speak! Had difficulty knowing what was actually going on at certain points.

I guess Nolan was concentrating on the Drama here, on the emotions, however, i still think not paying attention to the details weakened the film. Another problem, was the dialog! several times during the film and at key moments, the dialog was not clear, making it even harder to understand key parts of the plot! not sure if it was a sound editing problem or the writing or was it the actor's delivery of the line!

The movie does succeed in terms of the drama and the emotions, i particularly loved the relationship arch between Cooper and his Daughter Murphy. acting was superb from most involved.

so to sum it all up, i thought the film was good and entertaining, but suffers from dialog problems and too much Science talk, it was like it was too much ahead of its time, in a bad way. perhaps, in the future, once we discover the 5-D physics, we might appreciate this film more.
