I can’t stop thinking about: Interstellar

So far, I’ve seen experienced Interstellar twice. I’ve been having Nolan cravings all week so I’ve prescribed another viewing this weekend.

But for now, I’ll leave you with some words of wisdom that I just can’t stop thinking about:

“We’ve always defined ourselves by the ability to overcome the impossible. And we count these moments, these moments where we dared to aim higher, to break barriers, to reach for the stars, to make the unknown known. We count these moments as our proudest achievements. But we’ve lost all that. Or perhaps we’ve just forgotten that we are still pioneers. That we’ve barely begun. And that our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us. ‘Cos our destiny lies above us.”

“Anything that can happen, will happen.”

 I’m not usually one for ‘blockbusters’. I guess I don’t really like that word either. I would usually choose a low-budget Mike Leigh feature over a Hollywood money-guzzler. In this case, I have been presumptuous. Interstellar is a Hollywood, money-guzzling masterpiece. I contemplated for quite a while on whether I should attempt a ‘review’ on this or not. I know for a fact that seeing it in IMAX enhanced the experience but this film has left me completely and utterly speechless. The cinema was swamped in silence as the credits rolled; not in dislike, I hope, but in awe. How 170 minutes was sucked up in what felt like 90 is beyond me.
