An Ambitious and Mind Provoking Movie

Rating: 8/10 (11 December 2014)

Interstellar takes place on a dying earth. Humanity has regressed into an agricultural society. Cooper, (played by Mathew McCaunaghey), is a former astronaut who lost his wife. He spends most of his time with his two children, and his father in law. Cooper and his daughter stumble upon the remnants of Nasa, and his father gets recruited to be an explorer for humanity, to find a better home on a new planet, in a new galaxy, along with Amelia, (played by Anne Hathaway), and her colleagues (Wes Bentley and David Gyasi).
The movie is ambitious, and it explains the scientific theories driving the plot pretty well. Mathew McCaunaghey plays his part as the mission commander superbly, as he acts like a man you would respect and follow. Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine, and Jessica Chastain also play great supporting roles, which eventually consummate into an awesome conclusion. There are nods to many past science fiction novels, including A Wrinkle in Time, Space Odyssey 2001, Signs, etc... This is a must watch movie, and I encourage everyone to see the gorgeous, jaw-dropping visuals in Imax 3D.
