Interstellar - A common man's review

Nov 17, 2014

 

Interstellar.. is a creative visualization of combination of many existing concepts,futuristic ideas and highly imaginative but wild thoughts..to start with the movie is entertaining and at the same time makes one think a lot. Screenplay is crafted well and editing is amazing. Concept of gravity has been explored in a fantastic way. Highly appreciable special effects, background score and use f silence(clearly adopted from movie gravity). In the 2 hr 50 min movie one wont find a boring shot. But space/universe is a colossal canvas  mostly unexplored nd so which when picturized demands utmost care. Although the movie doesn't venture into the details of space travel and merely grazes the surface, there are directorial loopholes which may surface as vacuum spaces in the minds of average audience. General human tendency to resist accepting new concepts which contradict the existing may lead to indigestion of the director's theoretical explanations. Although I don't intend to reveal the story line, a very ancient Indian concept f 'Aham brahmasmi' rang a bell somewhere in the movie. It is like viewing a seed like a huge tree indirectly conveying that I contain this universe. The narrow mindedness/ignorance of man to view the world in 3 dimensions has also been questioned. Time, gravity and love have key roles in the movie although the blend could have been slightly better. Great thoughts and even greater movie..but definitely not a class apart like other Nolan movies.. All in all the movie can be given a 7.6 on 10. In brief, Interstellar is a movie which has the capability to convey to the confused audience tat their state f confusion might be because of their inability to completely perceive what the director intended to express and thereby masking the possibility that it might actually be the directors ability to deliberately confuse them..
