On November 5^th, Interstellar, a sci-fi movie staring Matthew McConaughey, hit the theaters. Filmed by director Christopher Nolan, the movie was inspired by other films he had seen as a child. Nolan said at the national CinemaCon “I feel like this is something I want to see again. Something that looks at where we are as people and where we might go.” The movie was also movie using film instead of digital, Nolan states, “[it] gives a much more individual feeling for a screening.”

The movie begins with earth being totally decimated after a huge windstorm wiped out the crop fields causing a shortage in food and for famine to set in. Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) is a pilot and an engineer with two kids that he raises on his own after the death of his wife. Scientists hand picked Cooper as a possible traveller on a spaceship to travel through a wormhole that can connect two widely separated regions of space and time to find a new place for the leftover inhabitants of Earth to live on. Cooper must decide whether he should sacrifice his time with his family to find somewhere for them to later live on or to stay and try and take care of them. He, in the end, leaves them behind and goes on a voyage in attempt to save humanity from an environment devastated Earth by finding a new habitable planet in another part of the galaxy.

It was easy to say that Matthew McConaughey was excited for the movie when he sat down with the Variety. He talked about Christopher Nolan and the “Interstellar” movie set and said, “Here’s what I can tell you. It’s the most ambitious thing he’s ever done. And he’s done some ambitious stuff.” The cast also includes Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway, Wes Bentley, Casey Affleck, Michael Caine, John Lithgow, Ellen Burtstyn, and more.

With Nolan in the prime of his career after the Nolan brother’s Dark Night Rises Triology, this movie Interstellar is expected to be the best of his time so far.
