Interstellar

Christopher Nolan's Interstellar is a mind blowing science fiction film with a superb cast  (Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine, Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, and Casey Affleck). What makes Interstellar so great, is how the philosophical and technical merge together with the laws of the universe like gravity and time, in McConaughey's race to find a way to save the survival of mankind.  This race is punctuated perhaps too long in running time and albeit a bit heavy handed at times by a great building and tension driven soundtrack from Hans Zimmer.  Like Gravity, Inception, or The Trea Of Life, it tackles themes of humanity brilliantly with great performances, particularly Jessica Chastain.   The visuals and effects are superb, so no surprise there. Interstellar is wildly imaginative food for thought that manages to pull at your heartstrings, challenge philosophical and technical ideas with imagination, and still leave a satisfying cinematic experience that delivers.
