Rated M
Score 6/6

A team of explorers travel through a wormhole in an attempt to find a potentially habitable planet that will sustain humanity.

At the beginning of the movie the recollections of the last days on earth by the elderly was something that I had not seen before in a feature and I immediately knew that I was in for something thought provoking. Interstellar like all good science fiction movies asks questions like will we ever leave earth? What is the ultimate fate of humanity? Are we destined to die on or earth or will we figure out some way to save ourselves?
I have something to ask, of late I’ve noticed that the past two notable science fiction movies have made all possible efforts to ensure scientific accuracy but where is the line between scientific accuracy and just getting over it and enjoying the movie?
It should be noted some scenes might lose their impact when Interstellar is released on DVD of particular note is the wave scene. The cinematography was brilliant it captured the awe inspiring beauty of space. I was also impressed with Hans Zimmer’s original score. Zimmer really pulled out all the stops and delivered something special that rattles your very being and in places manages to add the overall chaos of a shuttle launch.
Mackenzie Foy, the last I saw this 14 year old actress was in Breaking Dawn saddled with what was possibly the most ridiculous character name ever, Renesmee. Miss Foy has given something to remember her by which was not a testament to the stupidity of the Twilight franchise in her brilliant performance as Murph, a role which she shares with Jessica Chastain and Ellen Burstyn.
