Another touching story this month. This story talks about relationships, specifically relationships between the dad and his daughter.
Seen many types of stories about the world dying and not being habitual to man kind anymore. Makes us reflect on our actions. So this movie is a mixture of 2 genres.
Thought that the story was really well developed. Could see the strong connections between the front and the back of the story. However, this story feels more like a loop, where the pat and future is connected through the actions of one guy.
However, of course, throughout the movie, they kind of made us think that it was the work of a 3rd party. And speaking about 3rd parties, when it comes to the outer space / galaxy, one would immediately associate it with aliens. So throughout the whole show, i kept thinking that aliens would pop out of nowhere.
Seeing murph live through 3 stages of her life (namely, kid, middle-aged and old) while her dad only lived through one; middle-aged. Really kind of set that ground for making people (or well, at least, me) cry. I just really have this thing for time being passed so quickly.
Though I wasn't really sure if it was really necessary for there to be such a huge difference in time when they went on that planet, and why only that planet. (One hour on the planet was like 7 years).
In terms of creativity, when it comes to the different types of planets, making them having extreme weather or geographical conditions didn't really make it all that unique. But I guess that does give us that surprised factors when we saw the huge wave of water. The reason for it having that surprised factor only works because we are able to compare it with the norm.
Thought that they could have gave us more details on the earth side of things and not focus too much on the space side, because in the end Murph did play a very important role with 'hope' and the new planet that humanity if living on.
Certain parts I couldn't understand because of the lack of scientific explanation. For example, the whole thing about plants not being able to grow anymore (is it because it was too dry?) and also the part where the ship exploded when the guy tried to open the 2nd door.

This movie is a little on the log and draggy side. For a movie to be almost 3 hours long... Thought that they could have cut it down a little shorter, and make it go a little faster.
