Somewhat inevitably, Christopher Nolan’s latest film is a divisive one: just as The Dark Knight Rises polarised responses from audiences, the sprawling, spectacular Interstellar will inspire wildly different reactions from viewers.
It is a spectacle to be reckoned with, a tone poem like so many of its very obvious influencers, and it is a love letter to the aesthetic of cinema as much as it is a sci-fi about humanity’s last ditch attempt to save itself. It might not be for everyone, but it has some truly stunning moments.
Nolan’s pure sci-fi isn’t exactly subtle, there are some terribly cheesy lines, and the final third of it is a bit… odd, but it’s a sci-fi in the purest terms (perhaps with more emphasis on the fi, rather than the sic at times, despite the presence of expert advisors). But as you would expect it is a film-maker’s film, for cinephiles and lovers of the processes and legacy of film, and as such, it’s packed with references and Easter Eggs, the best of which follow here.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
