Sci fi is not my thing, but I loved Interstellar on the human level that Nolan does so well

Nolan may have overreached but he still hit the ball well out of the park. Those complaining about such films as Prometheus lacking a cohesive beginning middle and end will have little to complain about here, and the theme was more organic and humane.

When Nolan hammered the thesis at the film's climax it punched me in the gut with raw emotion (and no, the thesis wasn't the Dylan Thomas quote). If you have a daughter and that is what life is about to you, this film will bring you to your knees. The wormhole and binary code from beyond the horizon of space, time and gravity is tantamount to the "well" in Murakami's Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, wherein the protagonist is driven to a metaphysical place from where he tries to contact his loved one.

It mirrors the human condition and rings true when handled with authority and poetic license, and Nolan is certainly gifted on both counts. A total powerhouse work, and even if you don't connect to the emotions of it, it's a helluva ride. Made Gravity look like much ado about nothing.
