In the final scene of the movie, we see Amelia on Edmunds’ planet with her base set up, implying that this is where the colonization will take place. Near the end, we come to learn that of the three potentially habitable planets on the Endurance mission, it is Edmunds’ planet that is most promising. They just need to find a habitable planet. In the film, NASA and the brave men and women of the Endurance and Lazarus missions are confronted with the opportunity to start a new world. Cooper says, “Mankind was born on earth, it was never meant to die here.” Could this be true? Should we be looking for other worlds out in the universe in an effort to perpetuate the human species? Is it morally permissible to colonize another planet? Is it morally obligatory? Consider the marketing slogan for the film. For example, how did the ultra-advanced bulk beings first survive to make a fifth dimension Tesseract given that there would have been no Tesseract to save them in the first place? Who put the first wormhole there for them? And why didn’t the bulk beings connect the wormhole to a normal solar system with a sun (like ours) that contains a habitable planet (like Earth)? Why connect them to a spinning black hole system that contains 12 mostly uninhabitable planets with harsh environments? Fortunately, I found a satisfactory answer in a certain view of time travel via David Kyle Johnson’s “ Interstellar, Causal Loops and Saving Humanity”.īut this still left bigger questions to ponder. I’m looking forward to reading Kip Thorne’s new book: The Science of Interstellar.īut while Thorne’s book will clarify the scientific underpinnings of the film, it won’t answer a slew of other questions that I had walking out of the theater. I’m sure I’ll appreciate it even more with repeat viewings and a deeper understanding of the science behind the film. It didn’t surpass Inception in my book of film greats, but Interstellar is still a breathtaking film. (I can’t get that inspiring Cornfield Chase music out of my head.) McConaughey, Chastain, Hathaway, and Foy all delivered top-notch performances and Hans Zimmer’s amazing score added emotional depth to each scene. When Murph runs out of the farmhouse holding the watch Cooper had given her as he drove away, when Cooper watched 23 years of stored video messages after suffering time dilation-it was all so riveting. If nothing else, Interstellar contains the most realistic space imagery ever seen in a film.


And I did, on the largest film format there is-70mm IMAX.
