Review by Bas

Interstellar 2014

The Earth is dying, and technology a luxury. People live as farmers for the most part to produce food for mankind.
In these times, the protagonist, a former NASA pilot, gets by accident into a progressive NASA program with the goal of finding a replacement planet for humankind.

Pretty slight spoilers (not much more than you likely know about the movie beforehand anyways):

A wormhole was discovered in the solar system, which alien forces have laid off and sending signals to the Earth. In the search of a new home for humanity, the team passes through and is going to investigate planets which scouts did discover before.

In-depth spoilers, better read only post-watching:
The first planet to find was pretty weird, I think. Because landing on there makes the time ratio 1:7, but this doesn't seem to count for the ship in the orbit of it? When you are so close to a nuclear star, it seems pretty unbelievable for me that that tiny distance difference would bear such huge consequences. Additionally, it looks like for each hour on the planet not only 7 years pass on Earth, but also for the ship in the orbit - Which doesn't make sense, especially considering it is near a nuclear star. This is more of a scientific note, it does not make watching the movie worse in any term.
I also failed to understand how the robot did fall through to Earth and how that did happen as well as him being "picked up by scouts", where even?

The ending is pretty creative, in any case, independent on how you think about it personally.

I think one among the best movies I have ever watched.

Rating: 10/10
