About Interstellar: Please dont make me see it again to see if I missed something (like having another tooth drilled for the experience). Only this: I enjoyed the soundtrack, naturally, because I am a fan of Hans Zimmer--he has done no wrong. But, my husband Mike said: Now you know how much I love you--I didnt leave. And leave others did. Interstellar, a 2014 science fiction film directed by Christopher Nolan, starring Matthew McConaughey, and Michael Caine disappointed us in more than one way. Astronauts travel through a wormhole searching for help for humanity. Lucky you if you could understand McConaughey’s easy drawl—I couldn’t. Quite frankly, even if I did, I don’t know that I would care. The film had a whopping budget of $165 million and so far box office is $662.5 million. Maybe you will want to see it for yourself to decide. Not me. I honestly don’t care if it is the tenth highest-grossing film of 2014.[91] According to Wiki, “Interstellar is the fourth film to gross over $100 million worldwide from IMAX ticket sales. It trails Avatar, The Dark Knight Rises and Gravity in total IMAX box office revenue.[92][93][94]” Wiki reports that “Screenwriter Jonathan Nolan was hired by Spielberg to write a script for Interstellar, and he worked on it for four years.[6] To learn the science, he studied relativity at the California Institute of Technology while writing the script.” WOW, all that and I’m looking in space at a view of nothingness when suddenly Matt Damon appears. I don’t think so. HOWEVER, Interstellar has at the 87th Academy Awards, received five nominations including Best Original Score. It is the winner of the Golden Globe Best Original Score Hans Zimmer along with several other Best Score awards. Zimmer is amazing. I got a kick out of this: Zimmer also said that director, Christopher Nolan, did not provide him a script or any plot details for writing music for the film and instead gave the composer one page of text that had more to do with [Zimmers] story than the plot of the movie.[43] Nolan has stated that he said to Zimmer: I am going to give you an envelope with a letter in it. One page. Its going to tell you the fable at the center of the story. You work for one day, then play me what you have written, and that he embraced what Zimmer composed. Zimmer conducted 45 scoring sessions for Interstellar, which was three times more than for Inception.” (Wiki) By the time the film was wrapping up, (spoiler!) whether he saw his aged daughter, was superfluous to me. I was glad it was over. Maybe it will be better as a TV show. We’ll see. But believe me, Interstellar was no Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977).
