Watching "Interstellar" with covert Damon, and top notch McConaughey

Two nights ago, RSG saw "Interstellar" with Primo. RSG and Primo thought the movie was spectacular. The movie is directed by Christopher Nolan, and every minute is stimulating for the brain. The cast includes Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway, Matt Damon, and Michael Caine. As for Matt Damon's covert role, he appears as Dr. Mann. The doctor emerges from hypersleep in his lab, on the icy planet in Damon's first scene. At one point, Dr. Mann becomes a sort of villain to Matthew McConaughey's "Cooper" character. Nonetheless, Damon does a nice job of portraying an eccentric character in various scenes. Speaking of the cast, Casey Affleck and John Lithgow and Wes Bentley have important small roles in the movie too. In terms of possible Oscar buzz, Christopher Nolan should get a best director nomination. Jessica Chastain should get a best supporting actress nomination also. Hopefully, the movie will win some accolades during the 2015 awards season. Even though RSG saw the flick in regular format, the 169 min. movie is best seen in IMAX format. Luckily, the movie is not in 3d in theaters. Finally, enjoy the picture of four important people on the recent Hollywood Reporter cover.

Hey AFKARG (artist formerly known as...), it occurred to me that they met up with Matt Damon's character after leaving that place where the two main characters spent like an hour on a planet and that was like 27 years or something for everyone else (like the guy who stayed on the ship). But Matt Damon's character didn't age right? Seems like a flaw!
