What really struck us, though, is the wayInterstellars dark future is presented.
Its imagery is clearly informed by the real-world ecological catastrophe which swept Americas southern states in the 1930s.
Were not meant to save the world, an unusually posh-sounding Michael Caine tells us.
Were meant to leave it.
Unlike the exotic and faintly kitsch space suits ofPrometheus, those inInterstellarlook chunky and uncomfortable.
Anyone whos followed the history ofInterstellarwill likely know that it initially began life as a Steven Spielberg project.
When Spielberg dropped out of the production, Christopher Nolan stepped in as director.
Theres a familial strain between Cooper and his daughter Murphy something Spielberg often includes in his stories.
Thats something I want to see again.
That Nolan should attempt to make a family film is in itself a fairly radical departure for the director.
His films have varied from taut thrillers (Memento, Insomnia) to superhero fantasies (theDark Knighttrilogy).
Interstellaris out in UK cinemas on the 7th November.
