LOST (again) in the SPACE and TIME after watching Interstellar!
After all it's a Nolan's Odyssey. Simply we can call it as a Nolan's Zone. A zone created by Nolan brothers, which is a combination of reality, fiction and science. That thought will take you to watch it in any cost (at least it made me to go and watch on big screen). Also trailers and clips of the movie can prepare you for the amazing things you are going to experience in movie theaters. If it's going to be your first ever Nolan's movie! Then BEWARE and don't attempt it; because it will make you crazier and it won't make any sense out of it. And of course it is not for mass audience or as we call it as a Popcorn audience.
There are two types of movies, one type of movies you will forget after some time. And another will haunt you for the rest of your life and that's why this movie will become Immortal in your mind. Interstellar is Second type of movie, which may lead you to many questions after watching it. If you get answers to those questions, it may lead you to some more questions (Latest example is Inception).
Understanding this movie may differ person to person due to different approach to unfold it as it requires some homework and reading about scientific concepts like Wormholes, Black holes, space and time relativity, laws of gravity, etc. Nolan explained many things to viewers as story unfolds slowly. But many things have been left un-explained and kept hanging. That's the reason it can disappoint someone like me, who expects all questions answered.
The most important thing is that, because of some flaws and loopholes in the story, it's not the Nolan's best one. This TAG still remains with Dark Knight Triology and Inception. Another thing is that, some people may compare it with last year's highly criticized flick Gravity, but it's not even similar by any means.
The movie is all about finding a solution. The problem is that, in near future earth will become inhabitable place for a mankind. So the scientists from NASA expected a solution outside of our galaxy by inventing a habitable planet which will be earth like environment. And after finding it safe to live, mankind can travel and settle down there. Nolan "literally played" with Space and Time for finding this solution. And really he played it very well!
Now did our protagonist found this earth-like place? What obstacles he may face during this journey? The movie is all about these things. Even after completion of movie, you may not find all the answers to your questions because it is Nolan's movie. That will lead to finding those answers in your own perception and understandings.
As far as Nolan is concerned, we all know he doesn't like sequels. And after looking at closing sequence of the movie, it is clear that this movie will haunt me more; if they not make a sequel after it. It will make more unanswered questions. I had expected more "Space Scenes".
Some may say it is Over-rated movie this year. But I have not find it Overrated, because, nobody gave it full 5 out of 5..
