Christopher Nolan’s eagerly
anticipated space epic has finally reached us in the form of
DVD/Blu-Ray/Streaming. Though it didn't
please everyone, it lacked the overall gravitas that Inception had and the mere
presence of Matt Damon put me a little on edge initially. Matthew McConaughey performs
well, I think it would be unwise to think that his performance in this was
going to be equal to his performances in Dallas Buyer’s Club and True Detective
due to the nature of the story; but McConaughey is strong. His supporting cast members Anne Hathaway as NASA astronaut, Michael Caine as Professor Brand, John Lithgow as Coopers Father, Cooper's Daughter is played by Mackenzie Foy and Jessica Chastain as the young and older Murph. are
strong but again are only let down by the strength of the plot. The premise is
a solid idea, it’s clear and not a completely unrealistic idea of how the human
race meets its demise on earth. However, it begins to unravel in space; the
plot becomes a little thin and a little rushed in comparison to the earth set
scenes which are incredibly detailed and well thought out.
Interstellar really does require
you to suspend your disbelief; Nolan’s visual style is epic and breath-taking
but does not quite make Interstellar his career defining piece.
