  Interstellar 2014

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 17 Dec 2024

  Incredible! Both an amazing adventure and thoughtful commentary.  the Self/Family vs. Society interplay was well done and though provoking. all of us deal with this decision in day to day life from selecting a job to the ultimate decision sacrificing ones life for societal good.

  Never been so invested in a movie, 2+ hrs flew bye. A testament to the wonderful plot snd storytelling. All in all, not a whole lot to say because the movie did such a great job but def makes one think about ones purpose and role in a greater society.

  I did find the movie thought provoking however. The juxtaposition of dropping the bomb potentially being the best solution with the grim reality of it was well done. Additionally, we get to see a scientist forced into a position to stomach all of this.
