Critics Consensus

Interstellar represents more of the thrilling, thought-provoking, and visually resplendent filmmaking moviegoers have come to expect from writer-director Christopher Nolan, even if its intellectual reach somewhat exceeds its grasp.

Staggeringly beautiful, bafflingly complex, this is proper event cinema.

With all the rampant think pieces questioning the probability of every science fiction film that comes out, it's comforting to across a movie that doesn't really claim to have any of the answers.

Rated: B-

Humbling and epic in scope, designed and conceptualised brilliantly, but a tad too stand-off-ish emotionally. While the father-daughter dynamic works in parts, the Cooper–Brand relationship is never given the right treatment and collapses.

This is a film where complex concepts of quantum physics and powerful human emotions are inextricably intertwined and the ghost that haunts the farmhouse has both a scientific explanation and a sense of supernatural power.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

"Interstellar" pushes the limits for personal interpretation of both science and fiction. Both elements are wildly heightened to a bold scale to address the internal opposites between logic and spectacle, science and sentiment, and brains and emotion.

Rated: 4/5

I have seen this movie about 12 times but never in theaters. I was blown away. It was just as jaw dropping as the first time I saw it. Truly a timeless film.

Nolan's, and one of the 21st Century's best. See it on the biggest screen possible. So rarely do you see any work or art so successfully address the biggest questions of our Moment, and of our species, so successfully. This is an outstanding monument to the power of Cinema.

This movie is well loved for good reason. This was my first time seeing it in theater as I didn't have much interest when it first came out, but I'd watched it multiple times at home. Amazing emotional experience and great story. Leaves you wondering and in thought!
