Let me start this article exercising that I did not care for Interstellar until the last thirty minutes of the movie. Nolan is a director who gears his films towards smart people. To comprehend his storyline you have to be willing to look at the big picture. The marriage between visually-driven action and Sorkin-esque dialogue vehicles the story while the poetic justice cements avant garde themes. You just got to be willing to sit through them.
Just like Inception and the Dark Knight trilogy, Interstellar continues the Nolan repertoire with a depiction of humanity weaning Earth’s natural resources. An assembled team of astronauts is sent into a wormhole to find humanity’s new inhabitance.
Nolan’s film was just overlooked by the Academy for categories with his involvement. The twist endings have been subpar since Memento. Nolan’s early success warrants his movie exploration but that timeline implies contricity and creates detachment among his fans, like when critic’s praise the Orwellian setting allusion.
In the end Interstellar lacked the elusive mistress of pace and suffered greatly; no small naked golden man in Nolan’s future.

A Perennial Film in the Big Budget Show Off
The blockbuster films for the 2015 summer are finishing their final chop so it feels fitting to take a look back. The 2014 summer, like most summers, brought us overhyped, under-written tripe with few gems. This time it was brought to us by Michael Bay. Transformers: Age of Extinction was great for ticket sales and pushing the visual horizon but the story was just a tweak of its predecessor while still slowly strangling the elegance of the original.
The Big Budget arm race is polarizing the industry and subsequently landing itself on my Top Ten 2014 Films of the Year. However, a mulligan may be in order because the other day I stumbled across TMNT. Aside, from the nostalgia it had in my heart I remember the film being good. But who could forget the radical branded comics, video games and cartoons? Biasly their TMNT lunchbox was the crowning achievement, but digression aside, TMNT is a well-balanced tale with a complete story, solid action and recommendable for all audiences.
