Interstellar - I'll agree with everyone else loving this movie. I was enthralled and on the edge of my seat. It is a tremendous return to the profound hard scifi space exploration such as 2001: A Space Oddyssey, Silent Running, and the beginning of Planet of the Apes. It was tremendous. It's not perfect, though. I think it has two major faults. The first is that it sometimes feels a little too derivative of the films that clearly inspired/influenced it (particularly 2001). The other is a major plot spoiler but I'll sum it up for those who've seen it as merely "the paradox". But neither of those things is enough to significantly temper my enjoyment of the film. And the robots were quite possibly the coolest things I've seen in a film in years. Maybe decades. They are equally crazy modern and futuristic while also managing to be a fantastic throwback to some of the coolest and most influential robots/computers in scifi history with a decidedly 70's design aesthetic and I LOVED it!
