An epic cinematic adventure rooted in some true science that seems more like outlandish fiction. This film is riveting from start to finish. The action sequences are intense yet the visuals are as serene and beautiful as 2001: A Space Odyssey. Thanks to consulting producer Kip Thorne, an esteemed astrophysicist, most of the science of Interstellar is on point, something I was not expecting, but was pleasantly surprised to see. We get to see a black hole in the most realistic manner ever on film and it's gorgeous. They explain Einstein's relativity by having characters experience time differently depending on the effect of gravity where they are. Much like Inception where 10 minutes in one dream and years in another level, here we have a planet where 1 hour is equal to 7 years back home, yet, in this instance it's based in actual science, not fiction! Interstellar may not be Nolan's best film, but for a nerd like me, it's an experience I'll always treasure.
