Hollywood’s uncanny love for Space Odyssey and the drama that unveils millions of miles off Earth is the fantasy of any director; the latest to join the Bandwagon is Hollywood’s renounced director Christopher Nolan. The transition from the likes of Prestige to Inception and now Interstellar is quite remarkable, and this time the man has put in his heart and soul to weave out a script that has Nolan’s signature through the end.

Mankind’s single quest for life beyond Mother Earth has always been speculated, ridiculed and tried for long, basking this as the one liner for Interstellar, Matthew McConaughey and a bunch of astronauts take the giant leap to find humanity’s next home.

A basic understanding of the words like Blackhole, Neutrons, Space terminology, Time dilation would quite help the viewers in understanding the movie better, else just like anyother Nolan movie one would end up watching multiple times for a firm grip of the plot. Set in a futuristic era, the script strives to highlight the struggle of a father who is outbound to scavenge the vast spreads of Universe to find an alternate home for the current living generation.

A crew of five is ready to depart, a mission not to save the world from the clutches of destruction but to find a new home. The journey embarks through a belief that a mysterious appearance of a wormhole near Saturn through which a network of planets that appear promising signs of life. The catch is that, on the far side of the wormhole, with the planets on the lip of an enormous black hole, time is far more stretched out than it is on Earth, with years, even decades, flashing past in an hour or two.

The lesser you know before entering the theatres its better, Nolan takes you an adventure that trots around sentiment, Space, drama and love. It is in the nature of science fiction to aspire to more, to ascend fearlessly toward the sublime. You could think of “Interstellar,” which has a lot to say about gravity, as the anti-“Gravity.” That movie, which would fit inside this one twice, stripped away the usual sci-fi quantum physics, presenting space travel as an occasion for quiet wonder and sudden crisis control.

For an average Indian watcher the movie is all about awe and awesomeness, the sheer intelligence is evident through the cognitive mind of the script writer to visualize such a gala spectacle. In order to maintain scientific accuracy to the movie, for instance the wormhole phenomenon has been in large looming over analysts if it exists and that for exact reason the movie is made believable in every aspect. Coupling it with Time dilation and emotional drama of reaching out back to the protagonist’s loved ones makes the film even touché than one could ponder with. Hans Zimmer’s out of the box sound track just ripples through as the drama unfolds. In all, the movie is a crowd puller of all sorts and has a sentimental touch which is sure to lure not just an average Sci-Fi enthusiast but a little more than that.
