START PULLING YOUR WEIGHT

Rating: 7/10 (13 November 2018)

Matthew McConaughey portrays Cooper, a former near astronaut only a daughter (Mackenzie Foy/Jessica Chastain) could love. The Earth is dying from...well it is dying so the government rewrites history books to make the space program fictional, apparently attempting to appease right wing audiences and alienate left wingers...but wait, that's just a bad hook.
Based on lines in the dust in the library, Cooper discovers a top secret NASA location near his house (built on "magnetic ore" ) in farm country. It seems somebody has deliberately placed a wormhole out in space near Saturn that leads us to another galaxy where there are some earth-like planets...maybe. Yes, in this near future world NASA has been able to solve suspended animation and create a ship to transport people to Saturn and beyond, start colonizing planets and be able to send signals back through the wormhole...but they can't green Mars.
Now the science behind it is an extrapolation of what we know and believe theoretically, except for maybe that library scene which I found very very hard to swallow, but it was the climax of the film. It was needed to bring the film full circle. Many people will get lost in the science as they toss around terms. Yes, let's send a robot through the event horizon of the black hole so we can get the missing gravitational data we need to fill the gap in our anti-gravity quantum physics calculation...which we can immediately make into something to transport the human population. I had more problem with the practicality of applying the science then the science itself.
They go to one planet landed on by Miller. They called it Miller's planet. Then they go to landed on by Mann, apparently it was a Mann's world too. Not to reveal more than the trailer, The question in the film is about how much would an individual sacrifice to save the species in the future. The underlying question screams about how we are killing the planet for the future, but are not willing to sacrifice anything in carbon emissions now. Yes, the theme of the film touches on the modern debate of Global Warming and the sacrifice asked of us to stop it and save the only planet we will ever live on for generations unborn.
What are you willing to do to save the world for generations unborn?
Worth while view for the science and Omni crowd...others do so at their own risk.
