Interstellar

I went into the movie last night expecting a sci-fi ride. One of those standard Hollywood fare with spectacular special effect. But what I got coming out of this movie was a more philosophical debate. A rather deep one at that. Not something I bargained for.

But this was not to say that the movie was a farce.

I would put this movie on the same level of Contact, which for me one of the best sci-fi movie I had ever watched. Again not for the special effects, but on the philosophical conundrum at the back end.

A lot of the concepts were far fetched. May not even be scientifically true as well, but intriguing none the less. Although it made more sense than Inception.

Typical of Nolan's movie, one had to pay attention at opening scenes as they would return later.

I felt that I got more than I bargained for at the end of the movie. The closure was satisfactory but still there were questions unanswered. Would I recommend the movie to everybody? Not really. Those not interested would definitely doze off halfway. But for me, I would definitely be getting the DVD when it comes out ...
