| Christopher Nolan’s career has taken him to create a matrix of memories Memento (2000), a madcap architecture of dreams in ‘Inception’ (2010), as well as the caped crusader. Set in an unspecified future a generation or so hence Nolan now asks audiences to follow his scientifically framed expedition into humanity's future, and dare to imagine what lies beyond our understanding. The impressive cast: Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain, Matt Damon, John Lithgow, Casey Affleck and Michael Caine make a good crew aboard the good shop Nolan, who definitely knows how to make entertaining and challenging blockbusters. | There is an amount of homage to both Spielberg and Kubrick, and whilst he's unable to quite emulate either, the results are audacious, imaginative and visually spectacular, which deserve to be seen on a very large screen indeed. Nolan’s near-three-hour space epic is slow in the same way Kubrick’s ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ but this gives plenty of time to examine ideas about gravity, aging, time and relativity amongst the obligatory ‘characters in life-or-death situations’. Nolan still makes wholly original movies that require audiences to pay close attention and think as well as creating great tension and therefore playing with audience emotions. Without a doubt ‘Interstellar’ is the most ambitious big-budget studio film of the year. A must-see soulful and exhilarating movie. |
