INTERSTELLAR: MANKIND'S NEXT STEP WILL BE OUR GREATEST

“Mankind was born on Earth. It was never meant to die here.”

The movie

Interstellar is a 2014 American science fiction film written and direct by Christopher Nolan. It stars Matthew McConaughey as Joseph Cooper, Anne Hathaway as Amelia Brand, Jessica Chastain as Murphy Cooper, Bill Irwin as TARS (voice and puppetry) and CASE (puppetry), Ellen Burstyn as old Murphy and Michael Caine as Professor Brand.

Interstellar has some of the most beautiful images of  the space. The space is vast and the depiction of a wormhole accomplishes amazement especially to science fiction space. The black hole is even more amazing and it is a recurrent image throughout the movie. It’s in these lingering shots of a tiny spacecraft floating through the galaxy that we can recognize the influence of Kubrick’s space Odyssey. 

Interstellar include complex but fascinating theories referring to Physics,  thanks to a scientific consultant,  Kip Thorne, who also wrote a book where he explains all the Physics in the film (The Science of Interstellar).
