McConaughey and Chastain deserve any awards attention they can get, and I hope Nolan can finally get that Best Director Oscar nod.<br /><br />Interesting blogathon idea.

Still, the performances and the emotional core of the film were terrific.

I swear she was born to play strong leading roles, because I can't think of a single bad performance I've seen out of her. Admittedly the climax did get a bit confusing at points, but that is somewhat justifiable seeing as they were going into a black hole at the time (black holes are known to cause time dilations).<br /><br />I was certainly excited about Interstellar and super-hyped, and I would say it delivered. Now that you've seen the movie, perhaps you'd like to join the amazing blogathon I have to go with its release in which you get to put together your own interstellar mission:<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-5030627662498151745.post-42863703165038994692014-11-18T05:37:27.751-05:002014-11-18T05:37:27.751-05:00Didn't love it as much as you did, but it was ...Didn't love it as much as you did, but it was an enjoyable blockbuster. For an almost 3 hour movie the director did a good job of holding my attention, which I see as a positive for such a long film. I liked it, but I did have some issues with the storytelling, and for me Nolan went too far with the homages to 2001.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030627662498151745.post-37123403374035461842014-11-18T00:22:23.450-05:002014-11-18T00:22:23.450-05:00Thanks, Chris.

It was a powerful experience. McConaughey is much better here than he was in Dallas Buyers Club, but I don't see him getting any attention for this performance, unfortunately.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596682195753811295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030627662498151745.post-25876971566983867792014-11-17T23:47:23.908-05:002014-11-17T23:47:23.908-05:00Nice review, glad you wound up liking this one.

Good stuff. :)Chris Widdophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976278029088673041noreply@blogger.com
