Review of Interstellar

Christopher and Jonathan Nolan are such powerful storytellers I knew this was something I was going to want to see. Even when the plot was under wraps. The cast is amazing and had a few people I had not expected to see. This is visually remarkable with some amazing shots. I loved how Nolan made it so there was actually no sound in space rather than being able to hear whatever is happening. There was a few quite emotional scenes that really pull you into them. I do think that it was quite long and dragged on a bit for no reason occasionally, but that didn't take away the entertainment. I did kind of figure out the twist in the beginning though, but I thought it was executed in an interesting way. Matthew McConaughey is really improving himself as an actor and I was truly entranced by his performance. I think the robots were interesting even if they looked plain. Mackenzie Foy and McConaughey had some great chemistry in my opinion. All the science dialogue might lose the interest of the casual viewer the rest of this will grab your attention. I love all the aspects this film displays on family, life, death, time, and space. The ending implies there could be a possible sequel, but I don't think one is entirely necessary. There were several points that could have been the end of the film, but it kept trudging along. I did really enjoy this one anyways despite the lengthiness. I however probably won't end up sitting down and watching the whole thing from start to finish again due to the previous statement. It is worth a one time watch at least. On an slightly unrelated note it will be interesting to see Jonathan Nolan do the directing for a change with his future film Westworld next year.
