I'd like to briefly talk about Interstellar, a movie I saw just yesterday. It is directed by Christopher Nolan, who you may know as the director of critically acclaimed films like Memento (which I haven't actually seen), Inception, and the recently-concluded Batman trilogy. Set in a bleak, dust-laden, sufficient-food-lacking near future, Interstellar follows a former NASA test pilot who is asked to pilot a spacecraft to search for habitable planets outside of the Milky Way galaxy. They do this through the use of a mysterious wormhole orbiting Saturn, which some scientists believe to be the work of beings with control of the 4th and 5th dimensions. The astronauts use the wormhole to make in two years a journey that would normally take them thousands, traveling into another galaxy and validating the movie's title. I won't say anything else about the plot as I don't want to spoil it, but as an added note you're gonna need to seriously figure some stuff out while you're watching this movie. Temporal loops? Morse code messages manifesting themselves through gravitational anomalies? Whaaat?! Anyways, moving on. Unlike with some sci-fi movies, science doesn't go completely out the window- with the exception of a few things, it follows the rules. This is probably because Nolan hired an astrophysicist to help with writing some of it, which also makes for some pretty sweet and not-out-of-the-question space visuals. I really liked Interstellar- it was thought provoking, well-acted and at 2 hours and 49 minutes it ought to be both of those things. Gravity can't even touch this movie.
