MYST post #4:Intersteller

Well, I had some free time to watch a lengthier movie, and I am very glad that I picked the newer movie Interstellar from my video store. This movie is 2 hours and 49 minutes of intense intergalactic and a very realistic. The main story is placed in a futuristic America. While this story gave me a new view of Christopher Nolan's idea of the future, I felt that Interstellar had many of the characteristics of Oblivion. Even with some characteristics being similar, I really enjoyed the movie. I like the idea of Matthew McConaughey being the main character, Cooper, deal with some of the dilemmas he was faced with. I strongly feel that McConaughey performed excellently. All of the actors performances captured the audience and make it seem real for them. The movie seemed to have a few "Black Holes" per say because I was still flustered about some main themes in the movie. Interstellar wanted to almost "teach" the audience about a 5th dimension. Even though the movie is lengthy, I still felt kind of confused about that idea. I can look at this in a lighter note in that the movie really made the audience think about the interaction between characters. The whole movie is a "thinking" one.

The key aspects that I was watching for were realism and audio. These two really wowed me. One scene that I wanted to look at in depth was after Cooper made it back into the ship after exploring a different planet. This was another "thinking" part because one hour on that planet was 7 YEARS on Earth. This made the mission difficult for Cooper because he would see his children grow up without him. After Cooper makes it back to his "main dock" his children sent him videos of their seemingly quick lives. Cooper saw his son and daughter grow up and hear that his father died. Cooper is shocked and reacted in character that really blew me away. 

This futuristic movie has topped my "favorite movie watched in the last three months list." It has definitely left me pondering about not only the future, but also the ideas brought up in the movie. McConaughey made me like him even more after his performance in Wolf on Wall Street. It has showed me that he can play a serious and comedic character very well. Interstellar also capitalized in being able to incorporate different emotions in it. There were sadly, even slightly hilarious robots in the movie. But also, there was intense and dramatic scenes. In the end though, I speak highly of this movie and will probably have to watch it again just to get the whole ideas. I would have to give this movie 5/5 stars.
