Interstellar is like a bottle of fine wine...it gets better with age. That being said, I very much enjoyed this movie as it progressed. One thing that viewers should take note of before watching this movie is this, "Don't go looking for realistic characteristics in this film!" It will better for you to watch this movie accepting that fact that it dives deep into the realm of sci-fi and spirituality rather than realism. Ok? Ok! Let's move on!
Interstellar tells the story of a dying Earth that is slowing being destroyed by dust storms. The only hope for mankind's survival is inter-dimensional space travel through different galaxies in search of a new planet to live on. This expedition is led by our protagonist Cooper, played by Matthew Mcconaughey, who reluctantly leaves his family to pursue this mission. The beginning of Interstellar is fairly slow, and quite frankly, boring. It takes probably 40 to 45 minutes until it become interesting. Once the lift off has taken place and our journey in space begins, we are greeted with wonderful CGI and trippy space travel. In order to appreciate the full value of this film, I encourage you all to watch in 3-D IMAX presentation. Believe me, it's like being there. Anyway, as the sci-fi adventure continues, conflict ensues, and suddenly it changes the whole dynamic of this film. From then on, it feels as if anything could happen in this film, and that sense of adversity made it easy for me to truly grasp how dangerous and frightening this mission really was for these characters.

I know I'm giving a lot of praise to this film but that just personally means the pros outweigh the cons. The cons however are that sometimes, you can't fully understand the dialogue. By that, I don't just mean the accents of both Michael Caine and Matthew Mcconaughey. I mean the dialogue of this film is full of scientific "mumbo-jumbo" that can easily be interpreted only by REALLY SMART PEOPLE, and in a movie where you have to pay attention to every little detail, including the dialogue, it can be exhausting and too much to handle! Other than that, IT'S A PRETTY SOLID FILM.
