First of all, what a great movie! Great acting, interesting screenplay, great graphics, lots of hardcore science done "right", great emotions.
Plot: (minor spoilers) Earth is dying. Humans are trying to survive, but crops fail them and they face extinction. Their only chance of survival is finding new planet that is habitable. This is possible due to warmhole located near Saturn. Scouts have been sent in past to explore several options, but due to communication fault one more mission needs to be sent to confirm the right planet.
Story: (medium spoilers) Copper (Matthew McConaughey; story protagonist) is a father, ex NASA pilot, living with his family as farmers, trying to survive by producing last grow-able food corn. He cares deeply for his children, but upon discovering NASA hidden station he faces decision to go to space, to find/confirm new planet human race could live on.
What the protagonist wants in the movie from the start is to get back. This is for me interesting screenplay. Cooper decision to go to space was almost given to him. He know that was what he needed to do, what he was born and trained to do. Saving human race for me is the background of the story. He promises to his daughter (Murphy) that he will return to see her.
She is his relationship character. She wants him to stay with them, not to go. Something that the protagonists fails to see in fullest, he know he wants it, but puts it aside for greater good, the mission. This part is important for the emotional side of story and is very strong!
As for antagonist: this is the universe, and the physical laws. Mainly time relativity. The movie nicely depicts the realities of any possible space travel and its implication to our exposure to time. This is the main obstacle to the antagonist to reconcile with his goal, to go back, to see his daughter, because she would die of old age before he would return back. So he is racing against the time, will he make it?
My summary and opinion: Really great movie mainly due to screenplay that is well executed by actors and cinematics. Main strength i see in the "hidden" true story, that coincides with the fore-front story of saving human race. The resolution of the movie is well timed to coincide in three elements getting reconciled (The antagonist goal, the saving of human race, and emotional reconciliation with the relationship character (daughter) )
