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 unevenOverall 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.
I immensely respect Nolan’s ambition though. It’s refreshing to see his films because of his passion and ambition to make great work.
Arrival really got me quite choked up though. It’s execution was bulletproof and its effect was tear jerking. Interstellar does this for me also, just with messier execution and not nearly as effective.
