Although it\'s an entirely original property with no ties to any previous works, the hype surrounding Nolan\'s ninth feature film was so high, Warner Bros. studios traded away the rights to its lucrative \"Friday The 13th\" series (among other franchises) just to secure worldwide distribution rights to this movie. So to say this picture has been widely anticipated would be quite an understatement. The lengthy 169-minute story follows a farmer-turned-astronaut who leaves his family behind on a dying Earth to travel through a mysterious wormhole in an effort to save humanity. The PG-13 rated plot is far more involved than that however, with plenty of twists and surprises along the way, which are best experienced unspoiled. Set during an unspecified time in the future where automated Indian drones flying overhead are commonplace, and the Apollo program is taught as a hoax... the Earth\'s dirt is infertile and barren, dooming the future of the human race. Playing the inquisitive and intrepid protagonist is Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey, delivering perhaps his most versatile and charged performance of his career. The emotional range he exhibits is astonishing, from hope, despair, discovery, and fear... all of which helps anchor the more fantastical moments on a personal level. Remarking on the importance of his mission prior to departure McConaughey reminds a co-star, \"Mankind was born on Earth. It was never meant to die here.\" It is this underlying theme of survival and exploration that will draw audiences into this lush and unfamiliar universe... but it is strength of love itself that rests at the heart of \"Interstellar\". The all-star supporting cast includes four more Oscar-winners, including one surprise performer smartly excluded from the movie\'s promotional campaign. They all bring their A-game, but of particular mention is Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, and Michael Caine - who truly deliver some of the strongest performances I\'ve seen in years, breaking down when faced with the weight of their decisions, but strong enough to overcome them. One incredible scene sees our astronauts exploring a dangerous ocean planet... forcing them to deal not only with thousand-foot waves, but also a life-alerting time-differential that sees seven years pass on Earth for every hour they spend on the surface. The second world they explore is equally as exciting and scary, but this 45-minute sequence honestly could have been trimmed heavily without harming the overall story... which tends to overstay its welcome by the final scene. A stickler for film, Nolan shot the entire anamorphic feature with limited digital effects... bringing to life these hauntingly beautiful worlds to life on a gloriously huge 70mm IMAX frame. If you have the means, I impure you to see this picture on the largest screen possible. The sound design meanwhile is similarly immersive... dropping-out to uncomfortable pockets of silence whenever the perspective switches to deep-space. The movie\'s white knuckle thrills and impressive visuals are driven by Han Zimmer\'s use of quick organ pulses that echo into the empty void. An important and rewarding experience, I predict this space epic will score double-digit Academy Award nominations come January. A completely unique production, this film still shares many parallel\'s with 1997\'s \"Contact\"; if you enjoyed that Jodie Foster film, you\'ll love \"Interstellar\"... but if you thought it was sort of dumb and boring, then Nolan\'s latest mayn\'t be for you. Laced with scientifically verbose exposition, but never detrimentally so... the carefully paced narrative is a honest and believable examination of who we are as a species. A reflective story with strong performances, nail-biting action, breathtaking visuals, and a stunning conclusion, this is one film that will stay with me for a long time. The slower-paced and more esoteric elements may alienate some viewers, but for the patient and open minded, this is a transformative experience that transports you to the edge of the galaxy. An awe-inspiring journey through time, space, and emotion...  \"Interstellar\" is an unqualified masterpiece, and the best sci-fi drama ever made. Obviously, I\'m giving this an AMAZING.  ~'
