Interstellar (2014)
Truly a film of a decade
The first time I watched this film I felt extremely underwhelmed. It was boring, dragged out, and too confusing, and I stopped watching before the 3rd act (which Imo is the best act). Maybe 2 months ago I rewatched it, thought I would give it another chance, and it was soooooooooooooooooooo good! The performances were great, the story made sense, and it was one of the only films where I was completely immersed to the screen (along with Jurassic Park, Aliens. 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring). The visual effects are extremely good, and the writing was great. I felt that the second act was a bit flawed in terms of scripting and directing (imo the weakest of the 3 acts), but is still fantastic nonetheless. Interstellar manages to make you completely immersed into the screen, which only very few films can do. This film truly shows the genius of Nolan making him my second favourite director of all time (favorite being Spielberg). Hands down one of my top 5 films. Hands down the best Christopher Nolan film in my humble opinion (The Dark Knight being a close second). One of the greatest-epic of all time, hands down.
Braveheart (1995)
Mel Gibson's greatest performance
Braveheart - the definition of the word 'epic'. Braveheart is a beautifully made film, with Gibson making a career performance. It follows a simple (almost cliché) revenge tale, but the cinematography, acting, music, and so much other elements make this movie great. While the film can get a bit slow at scenes, it makes up James Horner's amazing soundtrack, and for it's beautiful cinematography and atmosphere, it makes you feel like your right there. The slow scenes don't necessarily make the movie 'worse', but it makes you feel ingested in the screenplay. The movie is not historically accurate at all, and even though I'm not really into the historical accuracy and everything....... it can get really annoying. Barely anything in this film is accurate, the only thing being William Wallace is Scottish. That's why I give this film 9 stars, not 10, being my only complaint. Rest of the film is superb.
If you haven't watched it, what the hell are you doing? Go watch it!
