Interstellar is quite possibly the sci-fi movie of the 21st Century so far. I can think of a lot of other extremely great ones, but none of those are nearly as ambitious as Interstellar. And none of those nearly brought me to tears, either. There is one super gripping and emotional moment about half way through the film, and I can imagine this scene has brought many people to tears. It's tearing at my heartstrings just thinking about it.
Visually, Interstellar is constantly impressive. It's especially beautiful and creative in space, most notably near the blackholes. Sort of like Gravity from last year, if there's one movie to see in IMAX this year, Interstellar is the movie.
I was completely tuned in to the story in Interstellar for the whole movie and I thought I was understanding it at the time, but upon recollection it's hard for me to piece the puzzle together. There were so many parts to it that I just need to see it again. I think I understand the majority of it, but the whole relativity thing has been throwing my mind for a loop when I think about it.
Interstellar cannot be missed. No sci-fi movie has been this beautiful, emotional, or ambitious in decades. Nolan's 2001? Yes, yes it is.
