Eh, harsh, but okay. Myself, I actually think Nolan's talents lie more towards dialogue rather than cinematography, actually.

Insomnia was such a great film. Its his best film and Chris nolan did nothing but direct it. It has one of Al Pacino's best performance and Robin Williams Best performance. I just don't care much for Chris nolan

Interstellar is a hard science, weighty, and self-reliant film. If you come into it with any background of scientific research and discipline, it will be as many parts challenging as fulfilling. It is a film that will, perhaps, defy age, even in a post-modern, digital world.
Cooper, ace Spacecraft pilot, is in a race against time. A race that mankind has been losing for almost 50 years. Man has made attempts to leave, and failed. He is destined to carve out his place on Earth for him and his descendants, and wither in the sun. Or so it is thought. Thanks to his know-how and the help from "Them", Cooper finds NASA'S last, super secret, mega-base. A base with the centrifugal gravity in mind built around propelling mankind into a wormhole they did NOT create in an attempt to find a new home and save the human race. The harrows, trials, tribulations, and scientific discoveries that follow him on this journey define and re-define a genre, aiding us on this epic quest to see the beauty and love and necessity of space travel as a living species. It's a tapestry woven from science, story-telling, and love.
Interstellar is not for the hard-science fans. It's not even for past Nolan fans. It's heavy and weighty and self-absorbed, a complete work in itself with a masterful score, script, and performances, making it something beyond a blockbuster. It's a true Tour-De-Force.
I love the movie, so I romanticize it extensively, but it has many bleeding-edge scientific theories, great writing, and a way of warming your heart even in the face of impeccable odds. It's a parable meant to evoke not the spirit of science, but the human spirit. It's a beautifully crafted film, a must see for any science-fiction fan. It's a journey, beginning to end. Performances helmed by Matthew Mc Conaughey and Anne Hathaway help ground the film in a sense of believability, that catapults it into ideas and places and phases of human life that many can barely imagine. It's a non-stop thrill ride with incredibly complex and meaningful themes in play that make it feel like an infinite cycle of heartbreak and triumph that speaks to the audience profoundly and effectively. It may just be Nolan's best so far, which says a lot about what Nolan may do in the future. DO yourself a favor. See this movie.
