Watch Interstellar Movie Online Will Christopher Nolan's Interstellar be the heralded filmmaker's first ever flop, or will mainstream audiences respond to what is being called a very personal and ambitious film with big ideas? We'll have to wait a few more weeks to find out, but the first wave of reviews have come in, and they are not as overwhelmingly positive as his previous work. The sci-fi thriller currently has a 72% "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a number which will surely change as more reviews come in before the November 7 release. The aggregate score so far represents his lowest RT score to date for his first eight films:There is something admirable about people who take on something that exceeds their grasp. More often then not, these instances don’t end in total success and despite that

 we still give praise for the intent. For instance, a Kicker missing a 65 yard field goal might still get clapped off the field for having the guts to have a go at it. That sentiment is largely how I’ve ended up feeling about Christopher Nolan‘s latest offering, Interstellar. Set during the potential death throes of humanity, it’s become clear that Earth isn’t a long term solution for the species. Crops are failing, dust storms are affecting people’s health and humans are now just the “caretakers” of the planet. This is an irksome notion to Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), once a top pilot, now forced to farm and provide food for the starving species. His place in the world changes though when he receives a cryptic message and it soon becomes clear he must lead a small crew into a wormhole near Saturn to try and find a habitable planet.

The problem is that due to distance and relativity, he is going to have to leave his two children behind for decades, potentially. It is an interesting set up and the whole first part of Interstellar is about legitimising Cooper’s relationship with his daughter Murph (Mackenzie Foy). There are sweet moments between the two, but the first act can feel marred by a meandering focus. The film also has to fall back on exposition and scientific theories to set up the universe, which begins to feel heavy handed during the elongated set-up. Once off the ground though, Interstellar does finally take off, following the crew of the Endurance, (McConaughey, Anne Hatheway, Wes Bentley, David Gyasi and even a comedy relief robot) as they go where no human has gone before.This is the playground where Nolan shines. Space finally gives him the vastness to show off the visual flair and scope that he’s become known for. His new partnership with cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema makes for an intriguing match. One that is mostly successful too, especially when the two are allowed to get imaginative with vast vistas and stunning interstellar photography. As with most Nolan films, his universe is tangible with every space ship feeling like it has mass, every landing like it has weight. This, of course, is due Nolan’s devotion to practicality, which does give the film a supportive heft. Interstellar displays a directorial confidence that is rare on this scale. It feels like a singular vision and it is one that can be a joy to look at. (Even if there are some scenes where the colour balance is just a little too extreme for my tastes.)
