And this week's Friday night movie has been... Interstellar!
This has been a long time coming. But now: No more excuses. I am going to sit though this and I will gleam something from it.
Hopefully.
When I was a kid, I often dreamed of leaving the earth and travelling the stars in a spaceship (as kids are often wont to do). Having seen this movie however such dreams now seem like several lifetimes away.
Okay serious now: I was impressed with this movie. Certainly this is a Christopher Nolan movie so one will expect a lot of dialogue and the cerebral elements pushed to eleven - to the point where they threaten to crush the rest of the movie.
But what makes this movie work is the vision, the visual spectacle and how it takes the science seriously. Say what you like about Nolan's tendency to get behind material that is denser than lead, he sure knows how to craft an incredible movie.
Perhaps it is fitting that Nolan will go on to tackle The Odyssey as that too features a protagonist who takes a very long time to get home.....
