The grand slow-burn promo campaign raised real expectations for Interstellar, and for the most part it delivers. Matthew McConaughey undoubtedly carries this eco-friendly 2001, providing the everyman point of view with as consummately watchable performance. The film takes its Earth-bound time to set up its premise with a reasonable near-future grounding, and soars when the space exploration part takes flight. As expected, the film is visually and aurally stunning, the challenges of space and time are interestingly conveyed in thought and narrative terms, but it is over-long and the final sequence ion the story proves a bit hard to swallow. Nevertheless, Interstellar is ambitious, imaginative and very well executed overall.
