Cinephile No. 465 "Interstellar"

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

You'll need a Ph.D. in Quantum Physics to understand the plot to "Interstellar." This is disappointing because I had high hopes for this Christopher Nolan film. Nolan, who has been nothing but a superb director, aimed for the moon and beyond with this film. With our solar system as his backdrop, he spins an exceptional tale and a believable one on why we should leave the planet earth. Where he leaves most of us behind is the science behind the plot. I don't know if that is his fault or our own, but for most of the film, I found myself struggling to keep up, questioning the theory of relativity, or trying to figure out time travel. As I struggled with these big concepts, something much more important was lost; my ability to enjoy the adventure. I will always applaud Nolan for trying to challenge his audience, but with this one, he pushed too far, too fast. 

Thanks for entering my world,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
