9. Stunning film that had me engaged from minute one to the very last. Watched it in the cinema, then went and watched it a week later in iMAX and it looked beautiful. Right up my street sc-fi wise.

This film is without doubt my favourite space exploration movie (not including fantasy science fiction like Star Wars). It is fantastic. The cinematography, the fantastic original score, Matthew McConaughey does a great job in his role. Imagine going to space, not knowing when you'll come back or even if you will ever come back and not knowing when or if you'll ever see your kids again. And *SPOILER WARNING* ...... when he goes to a planet near a big black hole and despite only being there for an hour or so loses decades of life on Earth is heartbreaking. He sits there watching decades of messages being sent to him from his kids, watching them grow up from children to adults in literally minutes and it's one of the most powerful scenes I've ever seen in a movie. ...... *SPOILER END WARNING*
We can talk all day about what scientific things this movie got right and what it didn't get right, but fuck that (even though it was very accurate for most of its scientific logic), from a purely cinematic experience, it was a blast from start to finish, with a story that is about exploring space but feels so focused on one small family. I have to give this movie a 10, and if anyone hasn't seen it, I implore you to watch it as soon as possible.

10 great movie
9. Great film that is visually stunning.
Works the same as Rate-the-song. Rate from 1-10, 1 being horrible and 10 being brilliant. It's that simple. You can request one movie for the list at a time. So once you're movie goes on the Request List, you can't choose another til it's been posted as a Rate-the-movie. This rule is in place so I don't have a request list 100 films long and so no one person hogs the request list.
