Interstellar

In Christopher Nolan’s space epic Interstellar, humanity has been forced to abandon technological advancements and the dreams of discovery, after an ecological catastrophe known as Blight ravages the Earth. Former NASA pilot Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), a father of two, now turned corn farmer assigned with growing one of Earth’s last sustainable crops. Cooper tries to make do with farm life, in a time when personal desires must be put aside for the greater good, providing for his children Murph (Mackenzie Foy and Jessica Chastain) and Tom (Timothee Chalamet and Casey Affleck), also his father-in-law, Donald (John Lithgow). Coopers thirst for discovery still remains with him, even as the Earth’s condition deteriorates.

However, when Cooper is reunited with Professor Brand (Michael Caine) an old co-worker of his, he is given a chance to accomplish an old desire. Cooper, asked to leave his family behind after being informed that Earth’s situation is much worse than he previously thought, to go on an uncertain voyage into a wormhole in search of a new plant that can sustain human life.

Interstellar being a very imaginative film, but with great amount of theoretical physics mixed with sacrifice on a personal level. Interstellar offers unpredictably icy drama for a film that is entirely based on the loving connection between a father and his daughter.

Viewers seeking to get lost in a thrilling journey of space travel created by the director of The Dark Knight Trilogy and Inception, Interstellar may be the movie for you. This movie is equivalently brilliant and emotional, however may be underwhelming to some viewers due to its brainy scientific theorizing.
