Had this movie been written/directed by Stanley Kubrick, it would probably have become the masterpiece it intends to be.While I agree this sci-fi/existentialist movie production far surpasses most of what has been produced in recent decades. It's many twists will probably leave some confounded at times, but in general very pleased. Don't get me wrong. This is an excellent Sunday movie, and potentially among the top 10 sci-fi films ever made.It's masterfully cut and directed, with an excellent acting and musical score. it's a crescendo of human emotions and quantum science goes way beyond traditional sci-fi films, usually aimed at showing humans eco conscious side. Lasting close to three-hours, it does not rely too much on its gorgeous cinematic sequences as most sci-fi do.This movie is an excellent and very refreshing take on the typical sci-fi Hollywood plot. It's take on quantum science, relativity, time-space, fifth dimension make this an essential film should be essential for new film makers looking to explore this wonderful genre.

Start to finish you enter a world of a completely different realm. Almost a parallel world which takes you on a journey of unexplainable experience. A typical Nolan style and stunning actors writing visual. A must watch for any movie lovers or movies with substance lovers. Truly an amazing work, very impressive.

This is a good sci-fi tale, if you can manage to sit for almost 3 hours, about a mission to save the planet from some disaster (either global warming, dust bowls, or whoever wins the next presidential election). Matthew McConaughey heads the mission, along with Anne Hathaway and a few others I hadn't seen before. They also have a neat robot named TARS. They fly off to find some previous scientists, who have entered a black hole and settled on several worlds possible for human habitation. Matt Damon plays one of the scientists.You have to like black holes, relativity, and the fifth dimension (not the pop group) to appreciate this. I didn't know a thing about this film beforehand, so it was a nice surprise to see Michael Caine pop up. And when William Devane showed up, I instinctively blurted out "What's in your safe?"The special effects are fine, but the characters are more interesting, and you do want to see how the situations get resolved. McConaughey is good, but he mumbles on occasion, which drives me nuts. I liked the music score, but at times it drowned out the actors.

The film is very interesting and intriguing with a beautiful ending. In addition, this film helps us understand how the general relativity proposed by Einstein works and how gravity has great influence on it. On the end, I believe that it is inevitable that humanity will one day have to leave its planet and colonize another, it may take millions of years but maybe it will happen tomorrow, there is no way to know, and so the alternative proposed by the film of using the Cylinder of O'Neill for such a feat is a good alternative in my view.
