Review: Interstellar

Seen 5/1/15

4/4

In my view, this is one of the most important films ever. It pulls us out of human civilization and therefore forces the question of the value of a population so minute and so easily threatened. I have never had a film experience that so begs me to ponder the value of my species, and other than Synecdoche, New York, no film has affected me so personally and so deeply. Interstellar reaches insane levels of profundity through emotion, aesthetics, exploration into the unknown, and Existential philosophy. I certainly think that Christopher Nolan cut some corners and the movie isn't perfect, but I don't care; it took me places far beyond where any other movie has gone, and I'm not just talking about into space. Therefore, for all its imperfections as a film, Interstellar has the ambition and beauty to totally revolutionize the film industry, and I pray that everyone sees the possibilities that it opens.
