Movie Review: Interstellar
So yesterday I went to the movies with the family to watch Interstellar by Christopher Nolan, (director of the Batman Trilogy) and it was a pretty amazing experience. Even though I went to a Cinepolis, (a theater with nice comfortable seats, food brought to you and really good popcorn) the movie itself was spectacular and it is worth the three hours of watching.
YES, you heard me. Three hours (actually two hours with forty nine minutes, same length as Titanic) of sitting down on a chair (cumfy for me) and staring at the screen. Even though you may think that is boring, IT IS NOT, and coming from me (a teenager) should make you change your opinion.
Okay, before we talk about the review, I need to give you a some details about the movie.
Interstellar is a movie about a man named Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) and his family living in planet earth. Planet Earth is dying, or at least there is barely any food left because there are dust bowls, and they are killing the goods in the fields. Cooper and his daughter Murph discover a place with robots and machinery that is not accessible to anyone and everyone. This place is NASA. They discover that the only way to save Planet Earth is by going to space, into a wormhole, and then find a planet that has enough resources (water, breathable air, living temperatures, etc) to save humanity.
This movie talks a lot about the Theory of Relativity, which is a theory, formulated by Albert Einstein, that all motion must be defined relative to a frame or reference and that space and time are relative, rather than absolute concepts. They also mention Murphy's Law, and this is the reason for (SPOILER!!! I guess) Murph having that name. If you think this whole talk about astrophysics, and quantum physics is boring, then you are probably right. Physics is a topic that everyone absolutely dislikes, specially in high school. But if you think about it, this movie will teach you quite some things about the theories, laws, topics and things like gravity, velocity (all types of velocity) and speed, so if you want to learn more about these kinds of topics, then I recommend you to start with this movie. (I also recommend you watching Cosmos, it will be a great segue before watching this movie).
Now, for the moment of TRUTH. I give this movie an…..
A
The reason why this movie gets an A is because it was very good, it was a great physics lesson for me, and it made me think if the events in that movie could happen in the future. This movie is also very realistic, and it is something that could happen later (way way way later) in the future, and we just won’t know it.
Well guys, thanks for reading this review of Interstellar. If you guys liked it, then just pass it on to friends, family, friends of friends, enemies, and whoever you think would enjoy reading these posts. Also, videos will be coming soon, so you will not have to read, you will get to watch.
