The Science of Interstellar

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2016)

I read a book on the Science of Interstellar written by one of the producers, Kip Thorne who is an theoretical physicist, that says that everything written into the movie is possible according to our current understanding of science. That was the standard he and the other producer came up with at the inception of this film. Some things are not likely but they're still possible. Knowing this really made the movie surreal for me especially the gravitational lensing, time dilation and extra dimension elements of the film. The story itself is beautiful and hopeful but being backed by real science is what made this film exceptional. When it comes to the time travel related aspects you must understand that there is no time travel in this film. Time is not linear.
