Christopher Nolan’s overwhelming, immersive and time-bending space epic
‘Interstellar’ makes Alfonso Cuarón’s ‘Gravity’ feel like a palate
cleanser for the big meal to come. Where ‘Gravity’ was brief, contained
and left the further bounds of the universe to our imagination,
‘Interstellar’ is long, grand, strange and demanding – not least because
it allows time to slip away from under our feet while running
brain-aching ideas before our eyes. It’s a bold, beautiful cosmic
adventure story with a touch of the surreal and the dreamlike, and yet
it always feels grounded in its own deadly serious reality.
