Movie Evaluation
Interstellar
I find Interstellar to be a very interesting movie; it touched on the subject of sacrifices we make for our loved ones. This movie touches the subject of leaving our planet, and exploring new worlds, possible habitable to our species. The reason for this is we have used most of our resources, and have brought the planet to the brink of inhabitability.
This movie is a sci-fi thriller, with a deep, dramatic story. It explores unknown universes and black holes, but also the decisions a father must make to save his family, and humanity. This movie starts with the main character, Cooper, a father of 2 who has a deep relationship with his daughter. He was an astronaut for NASA before it was dismantled. He now became a farmer. He has become frustrated with his way of life, with his ideas being “We used to look up … and wonder about our place in the stars, now we just look down and wonder about our place in the dirt.”After stumbling across a secret base, Cooper meets his former Mentor, who explains to him that 10 years prior, spaceships were sent off to different planets to find a habitable planet through a wormhole found near Saturn, but they have not had contact with any of them. After this, a proposition is made to Cooper to be the pilot on a mission to explore 3 of the planets that were part of the mission 10 years before. Cooper struggles with this decision knowing he may never see his family again, but knowing this may be the last chance for humanities’ survival.
Cooper’s crew travel through the worm hole which sends them to 2 different planets, one covered in water which a few minutes in it can lead to weeks, months even years back on Earth. The other one is an icy rocky planet, with very harsh conditions to be habitable. On an attempt to make it to the last planet, Cooper sacrifices himself for one of his crewmembers due to a lack of fuel. His sacrifice allowed his crewmember to reach the final planet, saving humanity; it also reunited Cooper with his daughter.
