Interstellar

Front-Runner Starts strong, fades late
2014 · Adventure, Drama, Science Fiction · Christopher Nolan

Interstellar wins a lot of early-round matchups but struggles against the best. At 54% overall, first impressions only go so far. The scale is staggering and the emotional swings are enormous, which means voters either surrender to it completely or hold it at arm's length. There's very little middle ground, and that polarity keeps it interesting on every ballot. At 1.4s average, voters make up their minds quickly — a gut preference rather than a weighed comparison.

Synopsis

The adventures of a group of explorers who make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage.

The ceiling

The 26-point gap between opening round and final tells the story. Interstellar wins when the bracket field is wide; when it narrows to the best, the margins flip.

The matchup with Schindler's List is a genuine coin flip at 50% — neither film has found an edge. Interstellar beats The Grand Budapest Hotel (72%) and Gone Girl (67%) convincingly. Mad Max: Fury Road at 0% is where the dominance ends.
