When Earth Can No Longer Be Your Home

Rating: 7/10 (9 June 2015)

One thing about Interstellar that is undeniable--it is a long movie. At 2 and a half hours you'd better strap in for the long haul. And with the musical score the movie is like one long piano concerto. There was not a moment too trivial for a portentous musical moment.
Interstellar is about time, space and saving humanity. All three of these items are connected. In the near future man is on the brink of extinction because nothing will grow. The only viable solution is to leave Earth behind and start anew on a new planet. Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) volunteers to pilot an extremely risky mission to another galaxy in search of mankind's new home.
This movie involves science, astronomy, physics, and a lot of other high level stuff that makes people like me say "whoa you guys are smart." In between all of that were strong messages about love and family and unbreakable bonds. At times the movie was down right depressing and at other times it was uplifting and at all times it seemed to try to pull tears out of you.
This movie had elements of so many movies before it: Contact, Signs, Abyss, Elysium but it never truly mimicked anyone of them. If you watch this movie, be prepared for several recognizable appearances from known actors and be prepared to weep.
