Interstellar Ratings & Reviews
- VarunDecember 13, 2024Watched the IMAX rerelease and was completely blown away. I was speechless after the movie was done. I saw the movie 10 years ago at age 15 in a regular theatre and it had a huge impact on my life. As a teenager I really loved the final lesson on love, but it was like a wisdom cookie that I liked and accepted as a piece of knowledge, but hadn’t fully experienced and understood in my soul. It’s only in 2019 when I experimented with ego dissolving substances and then later watching lectures on love and reality by the philosopher J. Krishnamurti that I finally realised deep down in my soul that love truly was beyond space and time. Love to me is the same as God, a single unifying force that holds the fabric of the universe together, that exists within everything. One is All, All is One. It’s a dimension that is both immanent and transcendent, and human beings are capable of tapping into its sphere through various means. In this movie, that means is explored through the lens of physics and space, two things that have also been absolutely fundamental in changing the trajectory of my life and belief systems, it was the impetus for my disbelief in religion and God but also my eventual return back to spirituality. And I would absolutely credit Interstellar for sparking that push to meditate on these concepts, and also for providing help with some visual imagery to wrestle with these hard topics. The depictions and scenery in this film are jaw droppingly gorgeous and unforgettable, it’s bound to stay in your conscious mind for a long time. I know I wasn’t the same after this experience. And of course, Hans Zimmer delivering the best movie score of all time, makes me so emotional every single time and also feel a profound sense of hope in life. The sound design in IMAX was perfect. The actions scenes are also really good, felt like I was out of my seat multiple times. I do have a little bit of a gripe with a few character and story moments, they were sacrificed in service of the bigger picture. But overall I think it tells a very special story about the human struggle in this infinite cold universe and it’s one of the best movies I’ve ever seen, completely worth rewatching it in IMAX, it’s almost a religious experience.
- S JohnsonFebruary 1, 2025IMO, this is a top 10 movie all-time
- Sean NorwoodApril 29, 2025My Top 1 movie. 11/10 would get sucked into a black hole
- ayayronApril 6, 2025It's impossible - No. It's necessary
- Kevin WelknerMay 7, 2025Can’t believe it took me over 10 years to watch this. This is one of those 3 hour movies that goes by in what feels like minutes because you are so sucked in to it - ironic given the storyline.
- Lasse Viinikainen3d agoBeautifully shot, grand and emotional. Does not miss any shots it takes.
- waitforme763July 25, 2025Do i need to say more.
- mickerdooJuly 23, 2025Takes the cruelest, most unforgiving force known: time, and stretches it to the most unbearable degree and then snaps the rubber band. Wow.

- Danny BJuly 13, 2025Interstellar is a masterpiece. I rewatch it every few years and always find something new. A small detail, a quiet moment, or a deeper layer I missed before. The acting is powerful. McConaughey gives his best performance in my opinion. The visuals are stunning and the soundtrack is perfect. Easily one of my favorite films of all time
- sampath vedulaJuly 10, 2025stunning movie, especially on an OLED
- MikeOctober 11, 2024Interstellar remains one of my all-time favorite films, that sparked my interest for; astronomy, directors and film scores "Brand. She’s out there. Setting up camp. Alone, in a strange galaxy. Maybe right now, she’s settling in for the long nap. By the light of our new sun. In our new home." Interstellar is a stunning visualization of the possibilities and scale of our Universe. The scientific research done by Kip Thorne, combined with the stunning VFX by DNEG and the beautiful cinematography by Hoyte van Hoytema, resulted in a gorgeous and accurate (sometimes more on the speculation side) depiction of our Universe and of science. The story is an emotional, beautiful and at the same time, sad story that shows you how much impact General Relativity can have on our lives. The crew traveling to all these planets surrounding Gargantua, provides the viewer with diverse and interesting environments throughout the film. The ending with the voice-over, is a beautiful way to end the story. It is a proper ending, but leaves what happens next to the imagination of the viewer (typical Nolan). Combine this emotional story, the stunning visuals and the interesting science with the impactful score by Hans Zimmer, and you have a film experience you will never forget. Not everyone likes the ‘love’ part in Interstellar. For me it shows that love is not scientifically correct, but that it is the motivation for all the events. In the beginning of the film Donald says to Cooper “Don’t trust the right thing done for the wrong reason. The why of the thing, that’s the foundation”. Later on when Dr. Brand explains why ‘love’ is her motivation, Cooper realises that the why of Dr. Brand’s reason is more important than doing the right thing for the wrong reason. Dr. Brand’s love for Edmunds manifested in a motivation to take risks. Cooper’s love for science manifested in him going into space, Murph’s love for Cooper manifested in her looking for the watch and Cooper’s love for Murph manifested in him trusting her to find the watch. These things are what the quote “Love is the one thing that transcends time and space” is referring to. Till this day Interstellar remains one of, if not the, best films I have ever seen. It had such an impact on me, that it influenced my interest for astronomy, directors and for film scores. It is safe to say that Interstellar literally changed my life. Letterboxd: Mike_v_E
- aveenmataiJuly 7, 2025Amazing movie. Very eye opening in ways such as showing us our place in the universe, the vastness of the universe, and the fragility of our kind. Additionally, it started my interest in Astronomy so it gets bonus points.
- tikamonoMay 31, 2025The greatest movie ever. A real masterpiece. Perfection
- Michael HeimgartnerJuly 6, 2025A Breathtaking, Emotional Masterpiece That Demands to Be Seen in IMAX I remember watching Interstellar back in 2014 in a small local theater, and when I heard about the IMAX re-release, I couldn’t buy my ticket fast enough. Seeing it again on the biggest screen was simply an overwhelming, transcendent experience. The scale, the sound, the visuals - everything feels so much more alive in IMAX. I was genuinely stunned at how well this film holds up, not just as a blockbuster spectacle but as a deeply human story. It’s honestly hard to believe Hans Zimmer didn’t win the Oscar for this score. In IMAX, the organ-heavy, hauntingly minimalist soundtrack completely envelops you, adding another dimension to every single scene. It doesn’t just accompany the action - it propels it, making every moment feel grand, raw, and charged with emotion. That music is the heartbeat of the film, and in a giant theater, it’s almost physically felt. Interstellar remains one of my favorite film of all time because it has everything I want in cinema. Christopher Nolan crafted a masterwork that balances jaw-dropping spectacle with profound emotional weight. The visuals are breathtaking, from alien worlds of frozen clouds to the dizzying beauty of the black hole Gargantua. Every frame is crafted to evoke awe and wonder while also grounding you in the reality of the characters' peril and sacrifice. Matthew McConaughey’s performance is absolutely phenomenal. He gives Cooper a rugged warmth and vulnerability that feels painfully real. Watching him grapple with the heartbreak of leaving his children behind - especially during the devastating “message” scene - is almost too much to bear. He embodies the spirit of a man driven by duty but torn apart by love and regret. The ending still leaves me gutted every single time, not just because it’s sad, but because it feels honest about the cost of sacrifice, love, and hope. What I love about Interstellar is how unashamedly big it is in both ideas and emotions. It doesn’t shy away from exploring complex scientific concepts like relativity, time dilation, gravitational lensing, or quantum physics, yet it never forgets that at its core, this is a story about a father trying desperately to get back to his daughter. That human core keeps it accessible and devastatingly relatable. Watching it again in IMAX reminded me just how technically astonishing this film is. Hoyte van Hoytema’s cinematography is spectacular, with vast shots that make you feel both insignificant and awestruck. The docking sequence remains one of the most intense, breathtaking scenes I’ve ever watched in a theater. The use of practical sets and real locations, like Iceland standing in for alien planets, gives it all a tactile authenticity missing in so many effects-heavy films. I also love that Nolan and physicist Kip Thorne went so far as to create scientifically accurate models of black holes, so detailed they actually contributed to academic research. That commitment to realism doesn’t just look cool - it gives the entire film a sense of weight and credibility. Some critics have called Interstellar overambitious or emotionally manipulative, but for me that’s its greatest strength. It dares to be sincere, to wear its heart on its sleeve, to ask big questions about love, time, sacrifice, and our place in the universe. It’s the rare blockbuster that doesn’t just want to entertain - it wants you to feel something profound. Seeing it again in IMAX was the perfect reminder of why it’s one of my favorite films. It’s an experience that makes you feel small in the universe yet deeply connected to what makes us human. Interstellar isn’t just a movie - it’s cinema at its most ambitious, emotional, and awe-inspiring. A perfect 10/10 for me, every single time.
