So I’m gonna give you a dated review of how I feel about it:
I don’t usually care about the opinions of others when it comes to film, I doubt you guys do either. This movie intrigued me, so I’m going to talk about it anyways.
As a science-junky and a huge fan of space, obviously I noticed the apparent flaws coming from some of the scenes in this movie. But, as the film piked my interests, I gave it an open-minded shot and thoroughly enjoyed what was there.
Yes, there are apparent problems with some of the scenes when you look at it from a scientific perspective. But damn, I go to metacritic and IMDB and you have these perfectionists ripping the movie apart for flaws it could hardly avoid. Like shit, yes, Ice clouds are licensed to some artistic leniencies… obviously.
These realists are telling Nolan to make the movie as scientifically accurate as it can be, down to the smallest details. Little do these scientists know that the main purpose of a triple A film is to make a profit from what’s IN the storyboard.
What pisses me off is that this film is getting one’s and zero’s for something entirely unavoidable, due to it either being not realistic enough, or, the more usual case when it comes to film reviews - the idiots who don’t get it in the first place! There’s a thin line between what makes a movie like this have a huge demographic and what makes it have none. That means sacrificing what could have made this film scientifically accurate.
This film in particular has some of the best compositions I’ve ever seen. The use of space and contrast of color is gorgeous. I’m incredibly sad I missed this film in theaters just because of how this movie is visually. It’s beyond any other space film in regards to visuals.
Not to mention the score is phenomenal, having heavy focus on organs, which, surprisingly fits the tone of being in deep space. I’ve never seen the organ be used for that purpose before, especially for this films tone and scope. The large chords that are able be played on such an instruments gives the soundtrack thick sound without over-complicating the score with too many other instruments.
The story gets a little bit expository near the end. There are some stretches in the film when it comes to the growth of a character, for instance, the daughter seeming to have figured out how to accomplish what she needs to do by staring at a watch and figuring out that it’s Morse code. The only flaws this film has comes from overlooking character growth.
Overall, this film deserves a Nani 9/10. If you ignore the incorrect scientific facts and minor plot slip-ups, this movie is an absolutely fantastic joy to watch. The visuals and score alone makes it an incredibly good film worth your time.
