I really love both of these films. Interstellar was just a film I had been waiting on for a long long time. When I first saw Contact, I loved the story, but thought it was anti-climatic due to the lack of stakes and the ending. When I saw 2001, I loved it of course, but thought that there could be some spiritual successor to it that was a bit more cynical due to the actual direction our space program at large has gone. Interstellar is a combination of these two ideas, and unless it was directed by Michael Bay or Roland Emmerich, it would be hard for me to not be excited for that film.

That said, I do think Ex Machina is a less flawed film than Interstellar is. I can think of some things I'd change with Interstellar, but have drawn a blank when it comes Ex Machina. The film is pretty much perfect as far as I'm concerned. The characters I think are better, the dialog is better, and it has even greater tension than Interstellar does. Interstellar on the other hand I think is more epic, is more ambitious, and has the overall better story.

Ex Machina is all about the characters, while Interstellar is more about the story. I think both films would make my Top 25.

Which film do I like more? Interstellar

Which film do I think is overall better? Ex Machina
