Please Note: We meant to say the 21st century, sorry about that! All of Interstellar’s time dilation phenomena threw us off.

[EvanYoungMusic]

This is the one film that everyone had their jaws on the floor and stayed silent in their seat after the film ended. I don’t think I will ever experience a film quite like that in my lifetime ever again.

[KnightFoxx]

This movie is in my Top 10 of all time. I remember seeing this at our IMAX here in Indy and after the movie was over. The entire theater was cheering and clapping. This movie is a masterpiece in my eyes!

[jinxysaberk]

My favorite thing about this movie is it’s main antagonist is not a human. Sure dr brand and dr Mann could be seen as exactly that but imo they’re not. Brand saved the human race and dr manns ego and fear got out of control. The real antagonist is time. The entire movie is centred on the theme. In every single one of interstellars most important scenes with the biggest scores there is reference to a clock in zimmers work. Time is the scariest enemy of them all because we all succumb to it. It’s the most terrifying and common antagonist anyone can put in their story if done well

I have 2 daughters and the scene where he finally sees Murph at Cooper station makes me cry. I have to believe any man with a daughter feels the same way. Other than being a science fiction fan, my wife thinks that this is why I love this movie so much. It really comes down to how much a father loves his daugter.

Probably the best sci-fi drama of the past 2 decades or more. Christopher Nolan managed to make 2 excellent original sci-fi movies, Inception and Interstellar, just within a span of just 4 years! With the Dark Knight trilogy along with the now excellent Oppenheimer, he has become my favorite movie director of this generation. I do hope he does another sci-fi epic- Tenet was good sci-fi as well, but Inception and Interstellar were just mind-blowingly good.

I interpreted the last scene with Brand being on Edmund's planet differently. She still has her space suit on, despite the air being breathable. So I think in that scene she's just arrived at the camp Edmund set up, and she's about to find him and wake him from hyper sleep. Which is a much nicer ending as well

I never saw someone explain a complete movie that wonderfully

[Firstname-vvcs]

When they come back from that planet and dude was like "i waited 20 years" they were gone for an hour.. mind-blowing how we think time dilation would work

[paulshawley]

With regard to the 'missing' 13 years, wouldn't that be explained by Cooper's fall into the black hole/tesseract? I'd have thought that it might be larger than that as time would move exponentially, the closer he got to the black hole?

It's an immense film, I've watched it 5 or 6 times now and Hans Zimmer is a genius. His contribution to both Sicario and Dune elevated those movies from classics to masterpieces.

[pranitdandavate]

This movie is not just like any other everything we saw in this movie is beyond imagination....and can't be repeated in any other movie in near future....it's beyond something special....

[notoriousbmc]

When they are arriving on Miller's planet, you can see the exact moment his ship is crushed by the giant wave. They JUST missed him.

[pablos]

Christopher Nolan never fails to amaze me! What a movie!

[JoseMendez-gznn]

One of the best interpretations of the film I’ve heard to date! Trust me I’ve listen to a lot. Great great film; great break down.

[thatswhattheyis]

The problem with time dilation on Miller’s planet is the differentiation between those in the surface and the command module still in space. There wouldn’t be that much of a difference as they would have been traveling at the same speed and both equidistant from the black hole. 24 years May have passed on Earth, but shouldn’t have for the other guy they came back to.

[orienv]

Got into Big Brain mode after watching this...then I cried in bed that night wondering how can something I did not understand be so beautiful as well...

[Chevroldsmobuiac]

Excellent, well-done explanation of the Interstellar timeline. Love that movie, thanks!

[Mamo]

One of those movies where you pretty much have to see it a few times to get the most out of it since there is so much going on.

[jaybeeo]

I still can’t get enough of this movie

[samiyakhan]

Nice movie, nicely directed, good story line. I hope there is a part 2 sometime in future.
