It’s been awhile since we’ve heard about Christopher Nolan’s first film post-The Dark Knight Trilogy, Interstellar. Even after the first trailer came out in December, details on the film’s plot were still light, save for the film’s characters exploring space in some type of capacity. Finally, with the just-released second trailer, we have context and a plot to go with everything.
Due to an unexplained event (or circumstance), food has all but disappeared on Earth. Because of this, many of the Earth’s citizens must set out into interstellar space to find some type of food source to bring back. However, interstellar travel is still experimental and takes years to accomplish. Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) must leave his daughter, Murphy (Jessica Chastain) behind as he’s sent out to find a solution that could help save the world.
As the film’s tagline reads, “Mankind was born on Earth. It was never meant to die here,” Interstellar is rife with dense emotion and a large scope for Nolan, both narratively and emotionally. With McConaughey’s newfound focus on dramatic roles, Interstellar might net the actor another Academy Award nomination. However, with the film set for release this November, there’s still plenty more to be said about Interstellar. Color me excited for this one.
