Interstellar (English, 2014)

The onus of the film lies not just with exoplanet search, but with the love for family and the human race too. This is a welcome treat from Nolan, the storyteller as the movie stresses on loving the homeliness, food for people, saving the earth before searching elsewhere. The conceptualization of the 5D space-time continuum is mind blowing to say the least and the use of it to feed information back to the present is something that is unreal but astounding!

The exuberant star cast of Mathew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain give memorable performances with noteworthy chip-ins from Matt Damon, Casey Affleck and Michael Caine and TARS voiced by Bill Irwin. McConaughey and Chastain prove their mettles with powerful portrayals of a father-daughter intimacy.

The viewers are in for a visual spectacle and grandeur. This is Christopher Nolan taking on the likes of ‘Gravity’ and building on it to create habitable exoplanets, wormhole and a plethora of other space junk that are stunning to watch on screen. When it dawns on the viewers that the wormhole was put there by the same humans in future does a ‘Terminator’ on them.

The dialogues add weight to the movie with some important human qualities being discussed. Due importance has been given to the hospitability of the family and a bunch have been saved for the comic ones too.

Hans Zimmer has always been a significant pillar for Nolan’s films. Here too, he has scored some wonderful tracks which most importantly compliments well with the heavy emotions and movie situations in play.

Though the movie explores multiple genres to explain the unconditional love that a father and daughter share, it gets a tad unrealistic at a point where we feel that Nolan has pushed this a bit too much.
