So Interstellar finally arrived, and it was EVERY BIT the grandiose, epic, exhilarating to the point of exhaustion space travel blockbuster we were promised. It’s also quickly establishing itself as the most divisive movie of the season. Flawed perhaps, many elements of its storyline would struggle to pass logical scrutiny, but hey! That’s the fiction part in science-fiction and, to Christopher Nolan’s credit, somehow as a whole it manages to be far more than the sum of its parts.
Reviewing it in a manner that doesn’t spoil its many twists would be a nearly impossible task, so we thought an original way to expose our thoughts would be to compile an imaginary soundtrack packed with hits, like the ones big summer movies from the 80s used to complement their scores with, which in this case would have been of help to balance Hans Zimmer’s rousing work; so loudly trying to keep you on the edge that during certain scenes it even renders the dialogue inaudible.
