Should I be ashamed that I just watched Interstellar for the first time in 2025?
You might be kind enough to say I shouldn’t be, but honestly, I actually am. I’ve known about this movie for years, and everyone talks about how it’s one of Christopher Nolan’s greatest masterpieces, yet I still didn’t give myself the opportunity to watch it. To make it worse, I know Christopher Nolan doesn’t miss. Every movie of his is always layered, smart, emotional, and mind-bending. I’ve seen Tenet, although I know that one definitely needs a rewatch because my brain was doing front flips trying to understand it. I’m currently watching Oppenheimer too, and even though it’s starting a bit slow for me, I know the main “Nolan magic moment and twists” is lurking somewhere and will eventually hit me like a wave.
This isn’t even a review, really. It would have been a really stale one. This is just me trying to express how I felt after watching this movie because wow! Interstellar is beautiful. There’s something about it that sits differently in the mind. The plot twist towards the end truly finished me. The entire idea of the world happening in different dimensions was so fascinating, and the way Nolan portrayed it visually was even more beautiful. It made me so curious about the whole world of astrophysics and space science. I don’t think I was prepared for the moment when it was revealed that the “ghost” in Murph’s room was her father all along. When that clicked, I literally didn’t feel my brain anymore. I just froze like, “Wow. This man really planned this from the very beginning.”

And the way time was portrayed? Please. My whole mind was doing backflips. The scene on Miller’s planet, where every hour equals seven years on Earth? I had to pause and breathe. The idea that time itself could stretch and fold depending on gravity, was so wild yet so beautiful. It reminded me of how tiny we are in the grand scheme of the universe. Now that I think about it, I definitely need to rewatch the movie so I can properly digest everything—wormholes, bending time, gravity as a communication tool, black holes, five-dimensional space, and basically everything that had my head spinning. These concepts are so fascinating, and I honestly want to learn more about them.
The ending touched me the most. Watching Murph as an old woman while Cooper was still the same age he was when he left. That part hit hard. Imagine returning home to your child, only to meet them on their deathbed as an elderly person while you still look young. That scene was sad, emotional, and beautiful all at once. Their bond was so strong, and the fact that he still kept his promise to come back? That was everything.
I completely enjoyed Interstellar, and as I said earlier, I’ll definitely rewatch it. Christopher Nolan is such a genius. The kind of movies he makes? Pure brilliance.
