The Bullet Points: A blight has wiped out most of the crops on earth. The food shortage has led to the abandonment of 'unimportant' pursuits and the need for everyone to tap into that farmer inside them. Cooper abandoned a career as a pilot to become a farmer. But time is running out and the earth will eventually die along with everyone on it. Humanities one hope is to relocate a la nearby black hole that could lead to inhabitable planets in distant galaxies. But can Coop save humanity and his family?
Interstellar is not the best film I've seen this year. (That still belongs to Rise of the Planet of the Apes) Interstellar is not the worst film of the year. It's not Nolan's best film and its not his worst either. It boasts incredible visuals, an inspired score, and solid acting. It's a movie of grand ideas, questions, and concepts but answers all of them with one answer: Love. In one sense that is a bold and great answer. But to borrow from Nolan's other film, It's not the one we need right now. I wanted my mind completely blown in the way we've come to expect from Nolan and Love just seemed like a let down. If you want my opinion as to whether you should see this in theaters or would I see it again the answer is a definite yes. The visuals alone make the price of a ticket worth it. But does it live up to the hype that even I was fanning? Definitely not. B+
