Hard to describe what this movie is other than it is definitely science fiction. All that said, as with all great sci-fi the magic is in the relationships, so maybe this is best called romantic sci-fi in the broader sense of "romantic". McConaughey plays pilot turned farmer when Earth's climate conditions force mankind to focus on its day-to-day existence. Ghost-like messages to McConaughey's daughter, who he adores, lead him to a hidden NASA base working towards finding other livable planets. Spurred on by his love for his daughter, McConaughey takes off for the stars to try and save those on Earth.
That's as far as the trailer goes and that's as far as I will go. With any sci-fi this broad there's going to be some stuff that raises questions, in this case the connection between Matthew and daughter trumps any plot holes. This was just exceptional stuff, I wasn't much of a Matthew M guy before but I sure am on the bandwagon now. Spectacular "cinematography" of outer space is just another great plus. Has richly earned its Oscar for Best Picture.
