It just moved me to the core of my being and I was telling everyone to go see it, which they did and their responses where very much underwhelming. For whatever reason it seems to be a film that speaks deeply to some but does very little for others(one friend even said he fell asleep after 20 minutes). Its kind of like cloud atlas in that it didnt get a lot of attention at the time but has since started to gain recognition. I mean in years to come nobody will remember Avengers Infinity war or captain marvel, they'll be forgotten and disposed of just like most winners of the x-factor are disposed of and forgotten shortly thereafter. But just like subsequent generations continue to discover the Beetles or led zeppelin, in 10 years time people will still be drawn to Interstellar.

I have watched Alien, Aliens, Terminator 1-2, Blade Runner, Star Wars etc many times and enjoy it every time. Maybe that's Nostalgia but I'm not the only 1.

A whole different pallet of talents brought together with editing perfection. It's definitely my favourite score of Zimmer's, he and Nolan are such a perfect combo and Nolan definitely inspires and challenges Zimmer to progress like other directors don't. I'm just happy to see this thread trending again as this is one of my favourite movies. It has its flaws and suffers from Nolan clunkiness in parts with the dialogue, but I can get past these for my own enjoyment. I wouldn't dare dream of rating it in the sci-fi pantheon though, I haven't seen enough sci-fi movies to judge.

Yes it's still a very good film and has aged well, but the one thing that really stood out was his relationship with his daughter. It was played out so much in the film, it was the main thing that affected him as he journeyed. Yet when he finally got back to see her after all those years he hung around for a few minutes then buggered off. Was a weak conclusion for me, kind of belittled their complex relationship.

Just wonderful movie... if you liked it or haven’t seen it, it’s as superb as it was when I first saw it.
