"Do not go gentle into that goodnight"

In my sixth grade science class, my teacher was talking about the speed of light and space. She told us that if NASA sent out one twin into space and he traveled at the speed of light, when he came back to Earth, he would look much younger than his twin who has lived on Earth that entire time. That absolutely blew my eleven year old mind. But to be honest, my thoughts drifted to other shallower topics after a few days.

I'm absolutely biased when it comes to time travel or relativity related movies but Interstellar was spectacular. Plot twists are one of my favorite aspects of a movie so when the audience was told that Brand knew that the Earth had no chance, I both loved and hated what was happening. I felt like this movie was a Black Mirror episode. Lots of critics have said this before but I definitely agree that Christopher Nolan wants to show the human limits on the big screen. This movie also asked the question of value. Is it okay to abandon the human race to start a new species?

Like The Dark Knight and Inception, there is always one scene that makes your stomach drop. The scene when Cooper watches the videos of his kids becoming older was insane. No words to explain how astonishingly Matthew Mcconaughey acted in that scene.

My favorite part in Interstellar was when Dr. Mann's ship blows up and there's no sound. There's an absence of an explosion sound that everyone expected to hear.

3.5/5
