She may be an actress who has only much more recently started to make her name but I don't think I've ever seen her do a bad performance. She was great here, Zero Dark Thirty, and even Take Shelter had her doing an interesting role that could have easily gone the wrong way if the writers weren't careful.<br /><br />Matthew McCoghnaughey was also great. It was nice to see him doing science fiction again after Contact and he had a whole new role here. I also liked that they incorporated some actual science. As someone who has taken some astronomy classes I get annoyed when science fiction stories botch up basic facts. When they explained the wormhole led to another galaxy I was little nervous but it seemed Nolan actually had some idea of the scale involved for once. That, and I liked the fact that for once Nolan apparently took the time to learn the difference between a black hole and a wormhole (so many stories confuse those two things and trust me, you don't want to get them mixed up if you're an astronaut).<br /><br />Actually, I was so insanely hyped about Interstellar I even went out and started a whole blogathon to go along with its release. It was certainly an ambitious project but I thought you might be interested in checking it out, letting me know what you think and perhaps joining in on the fun:<br /><br />http://hitchcocksworld.blogspot.ca/2014/10/voyage-to-stars-blogathon.htmlJohn Hitchcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13373653979400552490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-24786718898286161002014-11-15T11:38:07.564-08:002014-11-15T11:38:07.564-08:00@Chris-It's not in my top 5 films of Nolan but...@Chris-It's not in my top 5 films of Nolan but it's still an enjoyable one.

Was distracting for me the similarities to 2001: A Space Odyssey and even Contact. I felt Nolan was relying too heavily on sci-fi influences, yet it was a fun ride.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-74461084835762971472014-11-10T13:13:05.323-08:002014-11-10T13:13:05.323-08:00@feelingfuzzier-I saw the film on a 4k print of it...@feelingfuzzier-I saw the film on a 4k print of it though I'm sure if I had extra money to see it on 70mm, it would've been more mind-blowing on a visual scale.<br /><br />@Luke-It's my 6th favorite Nolan film as I think there's flaws but it's still a phenomenal film.<br /><br />@Sati-There are moments in the film that are ridiculous but I was able to live it with it since there is a payoff and it is quite moving to watch.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-81468228653787242392014-11-10T11:38:02.481-08:002014-11-10T11:38:02.481-08:00Great write up!
