I really like this and every thing about this except the ending which is still mind boggling. I keep trying to wrap my mind around it- or expand my mind to understand it. Which I do on 1 level simply an intellectual level, but to truly digest and drink it down may take 2 more viewings. This movie is wonderfully done in the future which is dire, but doesn't seem that way at all. Wonderful compliments to the writers and actors-all were amazing. The movie centers around a family, then about other missions into space to find a habital planet where humans could live. Space missions had already gone out years prior and it was time to go out into space to gather their data and choose where the human race could prosper and settle. The father joins the team to gather the data, taking him from his farm and children, as he had been with NASA years before until growing food had become so important. I'll leave it there as a crew goes out into space, and one family is left to farm with only a grand father, while the father is adopted for the mission. Buy it, its a long movie and it's great to have a home copy so you can eat or pee. Excellent movie!Read full review

No one can go into a black hole. The gravity gradient near a black hole would stretch you into a thin noodle, and if that didn't kill you, the intense x-ray radiation would. There would be no bookshelves inside a black hole. Also, there were some real problems with time dilation. If the gravity were strong enough on the first planet to dilate time into hours-equals-year, the field would be so strong, that, using another food analogy, they would be flattened into pancakes. If the gravity field were coming from Gargantua, then everything in sight would be sucked into it till nothing was left. As least there wasn't any noise in space, except for the docking scene where the laws of physics again change and you can hear the disaster unfold. I was not amused by the constant fight within the characters for 'what should be' with 'what is', and all the crying and whining - hey, shit happens! And the blight would not deplete all the oxygen, or even a fraction of it. This was easily Nolan's worst film. It's worth one watch, but set your critical thinking aside. Read full review

The movie drags on and on with needless boredom at the beginning. The rest is implausible, unclear and impossible to understand. This comes from one who is familiar with the theories they are clumsily describing. It makes no sense, and it's as if they are trying to make it seem intelligent. Like the saying: "If you cant dazzle them with your brilliance, then baffle them with BS". In spite of that, it is interesting and visually good. It has a strange feeling of dread and sadness to it that I don't think was intentional. I will watch it again, if only to try to make sense of out of it. I'm sure it will depress me again, and make me seek counseling.
If you like science fiction, time travel, space exploration rapped around family and family values, this is the ticket for you. I thought the characters were really engaging. Sometimes, one must forget the improbable, accept the story for what it is and just enjoy. This is that kind of movie.

The plot produced a few unexpected twists which made the film all the more intriguing. For a science fiction movie, INTERSTELLAR had great drama and character development while providing for fascinating concepts in astrophysics.
