Why You Should Watch Interstellar On Peacock
Interstellar Features Quintessential Nolan Elements
With titles likeThe Dark KnightandOppenheimerunder his belt,Interstellarmay not be Nolan’s best movie, but it is well worth watching for fans of the director’s oeuvre. For one, that space film is a great example ofNolan’s penchant for working with timeas a key device in his movie. One of the main ideas inInterstellaris thattime moves much slower for Cooper than it does for his aging children back home. This discordant progression of events leads to some of the most tragic moments in Nolan’s filmography as of yet.
Interstellaris also a testament to the potency of Hans Zimmer as a film composer. Known more recently for his work on Denis Villeneuve’sDunemovies,Zimmer produces some of his all-time best work forInterstellar, presenting a score as epic as the story itself. Zimmer and Nolan are frequent collaborators, so it is fascinating to see how they interact again working on this movie.
Lastly,Interstellaris worth watching on streaming in order to unpack its complexity. While the grandiose of the film’s cinematography warrants a theatrical re-watch upon the upcoming anniversary screenings, there is a benefit to watching the sci-fi film at home. Viewers can feel free to pause and take their time to unpack the movie and its complex plot and theme. Standing at nearly three hours long, watchingInterstellaris a grand undertaking, but one well worth embarking on when it comes to Peacock this week.
WhatScreen Ranthas said aboutInterstellar:
Interstellaris an imaginative movie, but a heavy-handed mix of personal sacrifice and theoretical physics doesn’t leave much room for subtle storytelling (or particularly memorable action). For a film that is rooted in the love between a father and his daughter,Interstellaroffers surprisingly cold (and often stiff) drama - albeit drama that is buoyed by high-minded science fiction scenarios and arresting visuals. Nolan relies heavily on lengthy scenes of surface-level exposition, where characters debate or outright explain complicated physics and philosophical ideas, to educate the audience and ruminate on humanity (both good and bad) in the face of death and destruction.InterstellarReview

From Christopher Nolan, Interstellar imagines a future where the Earth is plagued by a life-threatening famine, and a small team of astronauts is sent out to find a new prospective home among the stars.
