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.

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.

Deeply flawed but also wholly absorbing, Interstellar further marked writer-director Christopher Nolan as one of our most ambitious, go-for-broke directors, unafraid to attempt Sistine Chapel ceilings while his fellow filmmakers are working with Crayolas.

While detractors have often accused Nolan of being all brains and no heart, “Interstellar” shows that his intellect and his emotions are not at odds—they are inextricably linked.

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.

My favorite movie experience thus far. It’s been over a year and still thinking about it. Wish they gave out the souvenir 70mm strips, would have been priceless.

Interstellar is not just a movie, it’s an odyssey. From action to tension, the story shows the resilience of humanity across time and space. Wonderful movie.
