Christopher Nolan’s new sci-fi endeavor, “Interstellar,” is nothing like you have ever seen. The trailers released are vague and have left many confused as to what the film is about. You will head into the film with a cloud of mystery, but will leave awe-struck at the cinematic sensation that is “Interstellar.” Nolan has taken a giant step into the unchartered territory of space films. “Interstellar” is a bold, mind-blowing space odyssey that is an experience to watch. Examining the story closely, you may find flaws in the plot, however, these are miniscule flaws that will not prohibit you from experiencing the film the way it was intended. Ultimately, “Interstellar” is a galactic conquest that will haunt you not only because of its sheer scientific accomplishments, but also because of its raw emotional storyline, rooted in love.

“Interstellar” takes place in the near future, when the Earth is no longer able to support life. Dust storms and famine continue to wreck the frail farming based society that is left. Farmer and former NASA pilot Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) is chosen to lead an expedition that may save humanity from extinction. Cooper leads his crew on the ship Endurance into a wormhole that allows them to jump through time and galaxies, in attempt to find a new Earth. The journey goes far beyond what is expected, and Cooper must decide between seeing his children again or the fate of the human race.

The cast was perfectly hand picked by Nolan. McConaughey, who recently won an Academy Award for “Dallas Buyers Club,” proves he is worthy of leading a giant blockbuster. He makes you believe that an authentic all-American family man is capable of saving the world. Without giving too much of the plot away, McConaughey’s delicate and important relationship with his on-screen daughter will have your heart aching. Rounding out the cast with some serious lady power, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain play Brand and Murphy, respectively, powerful scientists with essential roles in rescuing humanity.

The visuals in “Interstellar” are by far the most remarkable of any space odyssey. The cinematography puts to shame the visuals in last year’s “Gravity.” The wide shots of the galaxy are beyond breathtaking. “Interstellar” will give you the awe-struck feeling of being in space, without actually having to go there. Theoretical physicist Kip Thorne was a scientific consultant for the film and even helped to confirm that the wormholes and black hole were as accurate as possible.

This is a film you need to experience, and you need to experience it now. “Interstellar” deserves to be watched on a wide screen, not at home, so you can observe the vastness and wonder of space exploration. “Interstellar” may be Nolan’s best film yet, as he continues to stretch the boundaries of what is possible on screen.

“Interstellar” is a thought-provoking tale that is not only outstanding in its stunning visuals, but in its emotional journey. As scientist Brand says in the film, “Love is the one thing that transcends time and space.”
