Movie Review – Interstellar
Interstellar is certainly a unique movie. The movie begins with a father and child trying to figure out certain messages, which the child believes a ghost has placed. The father decodes the message and finds them to be latitudes and longitudes. He reaches the location and the place turns out to be a NASA station.
The scientists have been looking for a new planet and were trying to solve equations which would help them shift earth’s population to the new planet. The father is requested to join the search. He and four others enter worm holes, battle time, enter new and dangerous planets and find out that saving earth is not possible but finding a new planet is.
The father then enters a black hole along with a robot to save the remaining crew. There he finds data that can help solve equations that can save planet earth.
The plot could be a little hard to digest but the acting makes it believable. What I liked best in the movie was that the plot pushes Einstein’s, Hawking’s equations and gives us a representation of their thoughts. The visual representation of the 4th dimension is not possible on a 2-dimensional screen but the director has done his best in his efforts to overcome the limitation. At certain points, the background music gave me goosebumps. Truly, it is not just background music as it captures the mood and feelings of a father separated from his children.
The movie is a complete blend of action, drama, love, animation and science. I personally found no weakness in the movie except that the plot depended extremely on luck. I would rate this movie with four stars out of five.
