Film Review: “Interstellar”

Kian Krashesky, Entertainment Editor, Staff Photographer, Online Film Critic

Once again, Christopher Nolan manages to produce another outstandingly twisted and mind bending film. “Interstellar” is a visual experience full of surreal galaxies and stars in outer space.MV5BMjIxNTU4MzY4MF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMzM4ODI3MjE@._V1__SX1099_SY616_

Despite Interstellar being number two on top grossing opening weekend, it reached $47 million for opening weekend in the United States and become rated one of the top 20 films on IMDB. With a score of 9 out of 10, Interstellar was able to become number 12, beating “Inception,” which is directed by Nolan with a score of 8.8 out of 10, and “The Prestige” which is also directed by Nolan with a score of 8.5 out of 10.

“Interstellar” is already nominated for Hollywood Music in Media Award for Hans Zimmer’s best original score. The New York Times critic A.O. Scott reviewed Interstellar and rated it 90 out of 100 and said, “Like the great space epics of the past, Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar distills terrestrial anxieties and aspirations into a potent pop parable, a mirror of the mood down here on Earth.”

Nolan’s fiction story attempts to answer questions that roam in people’s minds about the existence of Earth when it is unable to be inhabited because of natural occurrences. Nolan shows people what he thinks will happen when the human race needs to leave Earth and find another planet to live on, desperate enough to leave our galaxy and discover a new galaxy through a wormhole.

“Interstellar” tests different religions and beliefs of Earth, by using ghosts and parallel universes to represent messages and signs that lead the characters to the resolution of the story.

In order for anyone to judge this film, you have to watch it for yourself. This film is beautiful and dark in many different ways. It’s an emotional roller coaster from the beginning to end.
