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 6 hours from 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.

Viewer Reviews (TMDb)
Well, one off from two of this year's most expected movies alongside 'The Battle of Five Armies'. Like all the Chris Nolan fans, I was equally excited to see the movie on the opening day opening show. But I slightly disappointed that it was not a digital 3D film. I agree, this sc…
Reno · 9/10People seem to think that if you enjoy a Christopher Nolan movie, you are a fanboy and the film couldn't really be that good. That is not true. He has never made a bad movie, Insomnia is probably his worst and it is still an excellent movie. Interstellar is up there in his top 3,…
decovision · 9.5/10Another grandiloquent movie from Christoper Nolan. The cast is good, and McConaughey performs a role made for himself. The photography is very nice but the movie commits all the same mistakes than previous Nolan's movies. I think mistakes but it may be that they are the points No…
Andres Gomez · 7/10"Man kind was born on earth, it was never meant to die here." IT has been two days since I watched it and I still can't get it out of my head. I can safely say that it has been a long LONG time since a movie had this much effect on me after watching it. And the only thing I can t…
Asadullah Khan · 10/10This was my most anticipated film of 2014, and I was not disappointed. The story was slightly difficult to follow on the first watch, but that was to be expected in a film dealing with complicated fields such as astrophysics and time dilation. Many didn't find its overall message…
shaunfrombklyn · 10/10That this movie, at the time of writing this, holds an 8.8 rating at IMDb is simply beyond my understanding. Needless to say I did not really like this movie. The story is not very good, the science is ludicrous and the visuals not all that impressive. Maybe the latter would be b…
Dark Jedi · 4/10Again hit produced by christopher nolan after batman. Storyline is great and also the science theory is perfectly showcased.
This might contain spoilers! --- Interstellar is my favorite movie. I'm really into space and everything about it, so this movie was my cup of tea. The soundtrack is the best of the movie. It points out flow of time, which is the most discussed issue in the movie. Special effects…
"Do not go gentle into that good night; Old age should burn and rave at close of day. Rage, rage against the dying of the light". The story is about a team of explorers undertakes the most important mission in human history; traveling beyond this galaxy to discover whether mankin…
Matthew Brady · 9/10I will not add another in depth review to the several I see here on this movie. Nor will I try to evaluate the accuracy of the science behind the plot. Apparently a physicist was involved who had veto power if the script wandered out of the realm of what is at least theoretically…
Peter McGinn · 9/10I've got to say I have been wanting to watch this film for a while now and well it's 2021 and it's a Saturday morning and damn, safe to say this is one of the best films I have ever watched in my life. loved everything about It. The creativity and intelligence put into this film…
kheirnandez · 10/10It opens my mind after I watched this movie. I have watched it twice to figure out everything on the movie. Basically, this is the movie talking about earth is not a good place to stay anymore. People have to go to space to find another homeland. It reminds me that we will be lik…

CinemaSerf · 7/10This mind-bending sci-fi masterpiece took me on an unforgettable journey through space and time. From its breathtaking visuals to the captivating performances, the film had me hooked from start to finish. I couldn't help but be inspired by its thought-provoking themes about love,…
What a cracker! So glad to finally tick <em>'Interstellar'</em> off my theoretical list, took me far too long to get around to it but boy am I glad I finally have done - sensational film! The most obvious sign of that being the case is how the ~2hr30min run time goes by in an abs…
r96sk · 10/10Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar" (2014) isn't just a science fiction film; it's a cinematic experience that transcends genre boundaries. It's a breathtaking exploration of humanity's yearning for survival, the profound power of love, and the awe-inspiring mysteries of the unive…
madriyanto · 9/10"Interstellar" is easily one of the best movies I’ve ever watched, definitely in my top 5 of all time. It’s a masterpiece that feels like every scene matters. Each moment carries an important message, whether it’s about love, sacrifice, or the endless curiosity of humans to explo…
RalphRahal · 10/10Boring crap.
Dean · 4/10This film is a wonderful piece of art that masterfully balances emotion with science. I really liked the way the story progressed; it begins by beautifully establishing the protagonist's deep bond with his kids and family. This emotional foundation makes his ultimate sacrifice—gi…
Sentinel · 10/10Great visuals, convoluted plot, no substance. Not sure if longer than boring or more boring than long.
userloser · 4/10

@danielchristopher9932 · 124 likesWhen a trailer shows absolutely nothing and you have names like Nolan and Hans Zimmer attached to the movie, then you know it's going to be frikken amazing.
@ImbaSoulDC · 223 likesAs a person I have to admit, this trailer made me feel inspired. Matthew McConaughey dictates this monologue in such an emotional way, Hans Zimmer's score complements it beautifully. I cannot wait for this movie
