Interstellar (2014) - A team of explorers travel through a wormhole in space in an
attempt to ensure humanity's survival.
—Anonymous
Earth's future has been riddled by disasters, famines, and
droughts. There is only one way to ensure mankind's survival: Interstellar
travel. A newly discovered wormhole in the far reaches of our solar system
allows a team of astronauts to go where no man has gone before, a planet that
may have the right environment to sustain human life.

In the near future around the American Midwest, Cooper, an
ex-science engineer and pilot, is tied to his farming land with his daughter
Murph and son Tom. As devastating sandstorms ravage Earth's crops, the people of
Earth realize their life here is coming to an end as food begins to run out.
Eventually stumbling upon a N.A.S.A. base near Cooper's home, he is asked to go
on a daring mission with a few other scientists into a wormhole because of
Cooper's scientific intellect and ability to pilot aircraft unlike the other
crew members. In order to find a new home while Earth decays, Cooper must
decide to either stay, or risk never seeing his children again in order to save
the human race by finding another habitable planet.

A team of explorers must find the human race a new home after
Earth is struck with worldwide food shortages and corn is the most valuable
food. Utilizing a mysterious wormhole, they explore strange new worlds and
could find a home to save the human race.
Murphy's law suggests that "whatever can go wrong, will go
wrong." This movie plays with the idea of space exploration, time, and
gravity, as Earth and the human race is on the verge of extinction. N.A.S.A.'s
last hope looks to Coop, Brand, Romilly, and TARS under the direction of
Professor Brand to search for answers in the deepest corners of space while
dealing with Murphy's Law. Coop leaves behind his family in search of new
horizons as Writer, Producer, and Director Christopher Nolan explores the
eternal bonds of love between a father and his daughter.
In Earth's future, a global crop blight and second Dust Bowl are
slowly rendering the planet uninhabitable. Professor Brand, a brilliant
N.A.S.A. physicist, is working on plans to save mankind by transporting Earth's
population to a new home via a womhole. But first, Brand must send former
N.A.S.A. pilot Cooper and a team of researchers through the wormhole and across
the galaxy to find out which of three planets could be mankind's new home.

Movie Review
I have been a cinema lover for years, read a lot of reviews on
IMDb and everywhere, and never found the right movie to write my first review.
I always thought I would wait for THE movie.
And this is IT!
When I first heard that Nolan was preparing a sci-fi movie, I felt
like a kid again, waiting for his Christmas gift under the tree. I knew it
would become a classic. And I'm sure it will.
First of all, it is incredibly beautiful to watch. Honestly, it
was so beautiful that I felt like I was sucked into the movie. The way Nolan
decided to show some scenes really remind me of 2001 A Space Odyssey (actually
many things will probably remind you of this movie). We can feel the talent of
Christopher Nolan, just by looking at the way it is filmed. The techniques he
used contribute to create that visual environment in a believable way.
The sound environment is just mesmerizing. It is a very important
part of the movie, because some scenes take place in space, and Noland just
found the right way to use sound. The soundtrack (made by the great Hans
Zimmer) is breathtaking, epic, amazing, unreal. I could find a lot more
adjectives to qualify it, but you have to hear it to understand how epic they
are.
These two important parts (image and sound) create a stunning atmosphere.
You will forget you are in a movie theater, and you will be lost in space,
sucked into the adventures of this new Space Odyssey, begging for more. It is a
truly unique experience. I can say that I have never felt something like that
in a movie theater (at least not for the past ten years).
Then, of course, the cast. First of all, Matthew McConaughey. I
discovered this actor in Tropic Thunder, but he didn't really convince me,
though he was quite funny. Then I saw Dallas Buyers Club. Since that movie, I
love him. In this movie... Well, he is the movie. I exaggerate a bit, since
there are other great actors (some even unexpected with a special guest) who
play extremely well. But he is just what was needed to feel the human part of
the story (which is very important in Interstellar). He is capable of making us
feel so many different emotions all along the story, as a father, as a human.
Anne Hathaway was very convincing, all together the actors managed to create
some harmony, which makes the human interactions credible. Caine, Chastaing and
Affleck are a perfect choice. And then there is... The special guest, I will
call him "X". His role, which could be seen as a minor role, is
actually much more important than that. He proves, once again, that he is a
great actor. Watch and see.
And finally, the scenario/story. I won't spoil anything here; I'll
just try to convince you how great it is. Nolan is known to revolutionize
everything when he tries a new genre in cinema. Well, once again he did it.
With The Dark Knight he revolutionized the superhero genre. With Interstellar
he's revolutionizing the sci-fi genre in cinema. From what I heard, he worked
with a physicist (in gravitational physics and astrophysics) to help him with
that movie. And we can feel and see it. During the fifties, Asimov laid the
foundations of modern science fiction. Lucas and Kubrick did the same in
cinema. Today, Nolan is laying the new foundations of the genre in cinema,
proving that cinema is still at the beginning of what can be done (brace
yourselves my friends, we have not seen anything yet).
Why? Well, simply because we only know a few things about space,
some things can't be proved for the moment, so we can use theory, and make the
best of it. That is exactly what Nolan did. He used theories that exist today,
and made a movie about mankind, about pioneers, about humanity, about us.
Because, in spite of all the sci-fi aspect, it is a story about
humanity. McConaughey, Hathaway, and mainly "X", will managed to
convince you about that.
My rating for this movie can only be a 10, because in itself, it
is a beginning for a new kind of cinema. It IS a classic. Those who say
"we can't compare this movie to 2001 Space Odyssey, nor can we compare
Nolan to Kubrick" are wrong. We can, and we should. Talented people don't
live only in the past, some genius live today, among us. And Nolan is one of
them. Many say that he is overrated. I truly don't think so. Only time will
answer that.
This is the sci-fi movie of the decade, and probably the best
movie Nolan ever made. Just go for it, without a second thought.
