Interstellar

This was very heavy material. My short takeaway is this:

-The Cinematography is gorgeous.
-The score is AWESOME!
-The special effects are very immersive.
-The acting is pretty strong.
-Interesting premise.
-chemistry between Murph and Cooper was outstanding.
-Brands “Love” speech was dumb
-the ending was a little uneven

Overall I think it was a really ambitious and thought provoking film. I think Arrival accomplished what Interstellar was going for even better though.

Pretty much agree with you on both Interstellar and Arrival. although a subsequent viewing or Arrival on bluray will be required for me to decide if Arrival nailed it better than Interstellar did.
