In the history of cinema, many movies were made about Space and science and be specific about the end of the world, but none of them come close to the masterpiece visioned and created by none other than Christopher Nolan.
He was already well known for his work in cinema related to scientific theories and experiments and more specifically because of his obsession with TIME which we can see in his movies like Tenet, Inception, etc.
Christopher Nolan hopscotches across space and time
in a visionary science-fiction trip that heads and hearts in equal measure. In
his vision here, we started somewhere on the American farm. Full of sunlight,
vast cornfields joining the horizon at another end. While looking up in the sky
we can clearly think of a situation that is no good than a nightmare. Shortly
at some unspecific date humans will live their last day for sure and still all
humans are struggling to live in the current time.
An old man told his son-in-law “we’re a caretaker generation,”. That son is a protagonist named Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), a former NASA test pilot who was still dreaming of flight. he lives near their cornfield in a small house with his 15-year-old son Tom (Timothee Chalamet) daughter Murphy (Mackenzie Foy).
Every nation disarmed its armies and focused
everything on living as the earth’s atmosphere is not that favorable now.
People don’t have enough to eat, even the atmosphere is hazardous because of an
increase in nitrogen level and decrease in oxygen. It’s like whole humanity is
waiting to die either due to starvation or suffocation.
Even in this situation, there’s hope, NASA while being off the grid kept trying to find a new home in interstellar space under the guidance of a brilliant physicist Professor Brand (Michael Caine). Along with his team Brand thought of two solutions that can help in the survival of humanity, though both of these plans involve abandoning the earth.

Many years
have passed since Brand came to know about the existence of a wormhole – a
space-time rift near Saturn, seemingly placed there by some higher
intelligence. On the other side: another galaxy having dozens of planets that
might be habitable for humans can be present, keeping this mind a crew was sent
to find such habitable worlds. Now almost after a decade, another crew was
organized to check up on the three most favorable worlds for human settlement
and Cooper is chosen to play the role of crew captain.
The mission crew contains 4 people and 2 ex-military security robots CASE and TARS, Cooper, Doyle, Romilly, and Amelia Brand’s own scientist daughter (Anne Hathaway). Endurance (Interplanetary Spacecraft) is all set to leap into infinite interstellar space with its crewmates and with each stop it makes, Nolan envisions yet another new world- one planet a watery expanse with waves that seems mountain-like, another an ice climber’s playground of a frozen landscape.
Seeing this beauty of Nolan’s imagination, it was understood that outer space allows him to bend and twist his favorite subject- time – into permutations that are never thought of before. This time crewmates in Endurance races against the ticking clock and this clock ticks differently in different situations, this phenomenon is shown very precisely in different worlds.
A new planet means a new gravitational force, a new atmosphere so for every hour spent on the planet’s surface, years or decades may be passing on the earth.
This leads to an extraordinary interval of emotional climax in which Cooper and Amelia return from the expedition and discovered that 23 years have passed on earth but for them, it was merely a time to think about, 2 decades passed in the blink of an eye.

Cooper’s found video messages
from his kids adult Tom (Casey Affleck) and adult Murphy (Jessica Chastain). On one hand, the movie marvels at the brave men and women who dedicated themselves
for mankind and on the other, it also shows how human flows in emotions while
making decisions referred to Amelia.
Nolan stages epic scenes one after another that whole 3 hours running time passes unnoticed. His exceptional vision of the universe which includes physics from basic to quantum level itself is thrilling, wormholes, black holes, extraterrestrial life, etc. made viewers stuck to every moment.
Every person who is involved did exceptionally amazing in his work from the production department to sound designer, direction to VFX department, and everything else. “Interstellar” begs to be seen not once but multiple times so that every single film texture and multiple aspects can be experienced accurately and to the fullest.
