Christopher Nolan: Ranking All 9 Of His Movies From Worst To Best

Being Nolan's most recent effort, Interstellar had immense amounts of pressure heaped upon it from the very moment it was announced. But ultimately, the weight of his pedigree was too much for the film to bear, a solid movie that nonetheless failed to reach the grand heights of the director's previous couple of original ideas.

But that doesn't make Interstellar bad - far from it! There are some genuinely ground-breaking concepts at play here, from the sustainability of the human race to new dimensions to the oft-discussed possibilities of wormholes. This is the kind of material most studio blockbusters wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole, and for that, Interstellar should be applauded.

The third act does begin to fall apart if you want to nitpick, the film becoming overbearingly confusing at times, but this is exactly the type of blockbuster we need - the type that at least attempts to appreciate our intelligence, and doesn't insult it with mindless action.
