Yesterday, I found myself stuck at the softball field for
the first scrimmage of 2015. Of course, I realize that was the first of what
will be many more over the next couple of months, and I am OK with that. Now it
is time to get back to the blog. Next up, is a movie that I had waited to see
for some time, 2014s Sci-Fi epic Interstellar.
Plot/ In the near future, Earth has been devastated by
drought and famine, causing a scarcity in food and extreme changes in climate. A
team of explorers travels through a wormhole in an attempt to ensure humanity's
survival.
Interstellar was one of the few movies that I was
disappointed to miss in the theatre. Now, having viewed it, I definitely want
to kick myself in the ass for not making more of an attempt. This Sci-Fi epic
is one of the more thought provoking movies I have seen in some time, and in
many ways will stand the test of time. Not only is this movie well made, with
beautiful cinematography and a brilliant soundtrack, the acting, directing, and
effects create a perfect atmosphere. More importantly, the storyline is layered
in such a way that the arcing love story is woven into the darkness is
tremendous and full of emotion. In the end, this is a movie that must be seen
and embraced. Yes, there are some I believe moments, but those are definitely
easy to overlook and should be. If you have not seen it, what are you waiting
for? Find it, and check it out!
