A review written by a normal person with normal expectations.
Before I get started let me add this disclaimer: I watch movies to be entertained. I don't watch movies looking for flaws in production or with the hopes of pointing out every false statement or fact. When I watch a movie I don't care if it's not 100% realistic. This doesn't mean that I enjoy movies that are complete horse crap but I watch them for fun not as a job or hobby so any and all things mentioned below are solely the opinions of someone watching a movie for enjoyment.
It's 4/2/2017. I've had the ability to watch this movie on Prime for a long time now but never bothered, I just didn't think I was interested in it. Tonight/this morning I decided I wanted to watch a movie and, for whatever reason, I finally decided to watch Interstellar. I generally prefer medieval/fantasy movies with lots of action but sometimes the part of me that loves Star Wars decides on si-fi and I decide to find something to watch. Since I didn't quite feel like renting Arrival this won. I've never regretted not seeing a movie sooner until today. This movie was beautifully written and acted with enough things to blow your mind without overdoing it. The effects are astounding and awe inspiring; nothing short of breathtaking. The story is investing but not in the way you quite expect. If you're a Prime customer I can think of absolutely no reason to not watch this the next chance you have and if you're not I would HIGHLY suggest renting it for a night in. Don't expect a lot of action because there's just enough at the perfect points to keep you interested but instead this movie sucks you in with the suspense and intrigue and that's what ultimately keeps you going.
