Film Review

"Interstellar" is the biggest and boldest movie of the year, and also its most mystifying. It's a nearly three-hour event movie about quantum physics with deep philosophical quandaries about fate, the universe and our place in it. 
It may well be the headiest blockbuster ever made, a literal deconstruction of time and space with a script that often feels like one of those complex equations that fill up entire chalkboards in movies. Thought "Gravity" was too simplistic with its handling of the mechanics of outer space? "Interstellar" is like advanced trigonometry, which will please Neil deGrasse Tyson, but will likely leave those without a complex understanding of astrophysics feeling cold.
"Interstellar" comes from writer-director Christopher Nolan, who has dedicated himself to making bigger, better, smarter blockbusters since he was handed the keys to the "Batman"  back in 2005.
"Interstellar" is a grand undertaking, but in shooting for the stars, it loses its footing. It goes to infinity and beyond, when infinity would have been plenty.
