Movies: Amazing "Interstellar"

By Emily Burch
On December 1, 2014

The film “Interstellar” is amazing.  It is a futuristic take on the state of physical Earth, taking place in the future dustbowl of America. 

It centers on Cooper, the character played by Matthew McConaughey, an emotionally powerful former NASA pilot and farm-owner with two young children whom he is raising with the principles of questioning authority and keeping wonder alive. 

McConaughey, along with a cast including Anne Hathaway and Matt Damon, goes on a fascinating space voyage through a worm hole in search of another world for earthlings to inhabit after planet Earth goes to dust. 

The film introduces an ominous entity that sends transmissions to earth, namely to McConaughey’s daughter “Murph,” named after Murphy’s Law.  McConaughey’s character is very likable, and the whole concept enlivens the idea that there is life on other planets and, more importantly, the question of whether those other sentient beings want us to survive and, if so, whether they would actually construct another planet for us to accept via a black hole? 

The movie awakens the third eye, if you will, and takes one to another plane of thinking and existence.  It has got to win some kind of award for film of the year, or I will stop watching award shows.
