An Interstellar experience


Intro
The world is coming to an end. While schools and people in general have become disillusioned about space travel, one man gets an inexplicable message through a gravitational anomaly (which is inexplicable) that he must go into space looking for a new slum. Just watch the movie! I cannot describe this indescribable genius.

The Good
The movie is an experience. It was later that I realised that the script has a lot of holes, the black hole just being one them. But when watching the movie I never thought twice. I was totally immersed. I was the father who was worried about his kids, the daughter who was worried about her father, the astronaut who was worried about his mission, and the astronaut who cared only for his survival instincts all in one! If I typed out the plot twists though- it sounds very silly. To pull such a script off with visual brilliance is the magic of Nolan.

The Bad
The script had holes. I was thinking of these holes, and was wondering if they were necessary evils. But I think that something could have been done... I do not know what it is, I can only wonder for I am not a Nolanian wizard. Secondly, I sort of guessed the ending, because of Nolan choosing to explain too many details through long drawn out dialogues. An excuse that Nolan might give would be- Machan I am targetting mass! Mass audiences need explanations!

The Ugly
I am a Nolan freak. So I will assume the movie is good even before I watch it. And so will producers of hollywood. He walks in with a script, he walks out with 200 million USD. That is 600 crore INR. I am going to let that sink in a bit. The last film I reviewed was a Tamil film that cost less than 1 crore rupees to make. So Interstellar = 1 awesome hollywood movie = 600 awesome tamil movies. Freaking frogs of froggasia....

Verdict
Experience! Do not think too much. Cry with that father, as he watches his children grow up- from afar! Marks-  8/10 Pass with distinction.
