Interstellar

If you mention the name Christopher Nolan among movie lovers, and movie critics, be prepared to be hugged, or they might even make love to you. This is how happy people are to hear his name, mainly because he is such a talented director. The first proof of that, for me personally, was his film Memento. A very unique film, told backwards, instead of the usual pattern. I can not say i have ever seen anything like Memento before, this proves why Christopher Nolan is a very powerful director, to make something original is not easy to do. His next film Insomnia, was a remake of the norwegian film ( same name ). A really good thriller, with Al Pacino delivering a very strong performance. Robin Williams also delivered a very solid performance. When the word was out, Christopher Nolan will direct Batman Begins, the hype was on. Both Batman fans and critics were really excited, and it turned out that it was the best possible choice for this comic book adaption. Batman Begins was the best Batman film for many years, and it got even better with the sequel The Dark Knight, with Heath Ledger, doing his best performance ever, before he tragically died. You might think that Nolan would stop here, and not do anything original like Memento again. Thankfully that did happen, with his next film Inception. A really intelligent sci fi thriller, with a very unique plot. Leonardo Di Caprio and Ellen Page, did both really good performances, including Tom Berenger, surprised to see him back in a big Hollywood production again. The Dark Knight Rises Again, the final Batman film by director Christopher Nolan, gave us a really good finish, with some really good perfomances. So after very different categories, and some very different film choices, Nolan is now back with his latest film Interstellar. Ever since they rumours started around this film, the fans have been waiting patiently to find out more information around the film. Insterstellar looks like a very different film from his previous releases, this time in a sci fi genre, different from Inception. With a great cast of Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain and Michael Caine, is this sci fi film another amazing film from this incredible director, or is he running out of ideas at this moment ?

Earth is in danger. Food is running out and all over the planet, people are constantly in need to make sure that they are as safe as possible. Former NASA pilot Cooper ( Matthew McConaughey ), is now working as a farmer, trying to make sure that people have food to eat in these desperate times. Cooper is confronted by NASA, when his daughter Murphy ( Mackenzie Coy ), have been contacted by an unknown intelligence, who is sending coded messages through gravitational waves. NASA discover that there is a wormhole in our own solar system. To find out what is beyond this wormhole, professor John Brand ( Michael Caine ) want to send Cooper out in space, with a team of professional astronauts , Amelia Brand ( Anne Hathaway ), Romilly ( David Gyasi ) and Doyle ( Wes Bentley ). Cooper accept the mission, because he also want to know if there is a planet beyond our solar system, where humans may actually be able to live. As the mission begins, everything seems to be fine. But during this journey to an unkown universe, they will soon see that everything may not be what it seems.

I want to make something clear. Comparing Interstellar with his previous films is not easy, because this is a completely different motion picture. It is possible that this is his most majestic film so far, considering the amazing CGI effects. While Inception had some incredible action sequences, Interstellar is a completely different science fiction film. You could say that there is more depth here, dealing with many questions we have about life, and how we react in different complicated situations. There is a feeling that Nolan had inspiration from Stanley Kubrick´s classis 2001 - A Space Odyssey, while he made Interstellar. And it is easy to understand why he would have inspiration from master director Kubrick, he had a style like no other. The story, with a very wide perspective on human life, makes sure you feel intrigued. What would we do if the World have no more food ? What will we do if the humans can not survive without help from another planet ? Is it possible to live on Another planet, or is this vision more like a fairytale ? There are many subjects that we constantly ask ourselves during almost 3 hours. We all know that many people starve around the world, and we try and fix this as good as we can, or is this really true ? Interstellar makes sure you get to ask yourself if we can make a beter change, or if it is too late? Matthew McConaughey is absolutely brilliant as the former NASA pilot Cooper. You can tell he will do anything to complete his mission, in need to help humanity. His character feels very emotional, and he is ready to risk everything to complete the mission. Anne Hathaway shows once again why she is such a powerful actor, trying to complete this mission with a lot of questions in her mind. The incredible space scenes takes your breath away, so detailed and well made, it feels like you are there. Maybe not as powerful as the film Gravity was, but still director Christopher Nolan gives us a view of universe, from his perspective. Interstellar is a film that might be the most dramatic project coming from Nolan, it is nice to see that he is trying a different turn. Is Earth becoming too weak for us to continue to live there ? This issue is going to continue be discussed, and i would not be surprised if people will be able to travel to another planet in the future, and live there. Technology is developing, and will make us go much more further in the universe. Interstellar tries to give us a view of what could be possible, if we want to find a new planet to live on. I have so many questions i would like to know the answer to after watching Interstellar, that is a sign to how Christopher Nolan works on each film. He want to tell stories that matters, where people feel inspired. Maybe not his best film, but definetely one of the most important sci fi films in a very long time.
