Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
Sex & Nudity: The protagonist is a widower. His father-in-law suggests he should woo a local teacher and do his part to repopulate the Earth. "Start pulling your weight," he jokes.
A brief kiss.
Violence & Gore: Astronauts fight, one pushing another off a cliff, and the two wrestle in their space suits. One cracks the visor of the other's helmet, hoping to murder him. For quite a long period of time, the astronaut with the cracked visor writhes around suffocating (he is eventually unhurt).
Two characters die in explosions, but no violence on screen.
One is killed after being thrashed around by a giant wave of water. His lifeless body is seen floating on the surface of the water, inside an astronaut suit.
Humans and human-sounding robots sacrifice their lives for what they see as a "greater good".
We hear something of the disaster that befell Earth and know it must've resulted in catastrophic death. Someone dies in a hospital room. Others, including a child, die offscreen. Coop and his kids nearly drive off a cliff face. Someone sets fire to a field of corn. Someone else brandishes a tire iron in self-defense.
Profanity: Two uses of "fuck" (though the former time it's said, it's muttered), six uses of "shit" and a dribble of other profanities, including "ass," "bitch," "goddamn", "damn" and "hell".
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking:Two men drink out of beer bottles
Frightening/Intense Scenes: The film deals with the extinction of humanity and depicts a future Earth that suffers huge dust storms and is running out of food. It is implied many millions have died.
Emotionally intense scenes involving a father leaving his family behind.
An action scene involving astronauts attempting to evade a giant tidal wave is intense, and a character dies off-screen; their lifeless body is shown floating in the water, inside an astronaut suit.
A man attempts to murder the protagonist in a fight scene; his visor is cracked and he is seen suffocating and writhing around several times; he is ultimately okay.
A man dies in a hospital bed, peacefully. The scene is emotional.
A spaceship suddenly explodes, killing its occupant.
An intense sequence in which a man falls through a black hole.
The constant threat of being stranded in space, and humanity becoming extinct, hangs over the characters.
Story:In the near future Earth has been devastated by drought and famine, causing a scarcity in food and extreme changes in climate. When humanity is facing extinction, a mysterious rip in the space-time continuum is discovered, giving mankind the opportunity to widen their lifespan. A group of explorers must travel beyond our solar system in search of a planet that can sustain life. The crew of the Endurance are required to think bigger and go further than any human in history as they embark on an interstellar voyage, into the unknown. Coop, the pilot of the Endurance, must decide between seeing his children again and the future of the human race
Likes : Two word's ( MASTER PIECE ) A film that similar to the Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and Robert Zemeckis' Contact (1997). In a sense that this is not a bang-bang-shoot-shoot-blow-em-up sci-fi, but more of a mind blowing slow-burning, metaphysical sci-fi which gets you to think about your place in the universe and your exact place in time with real science about space time of relativity with fiction of other worlds & worm holes.
Interstellar takes you on a journey about the earth dying, its soil no longer able to sustain crops other than corn, and of course, it will lead to the extinction of humanity. Our hero is an ex-NASA test pilot named Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), a typical ordinary-guy-in-an-extraordinary- situation every man who's also a dedicated family man, especially toward his daughter Murphy (named after the Murphy's Law played brilliantly by Mackenzie Foy, Ellen Burstyn & Jessica Chastain ).
In an all-too-Armageddon style our hero gets invited by the (publicly) defunct NASA to become humanity's last hope in finding a new home, for they have found a wormhole near Saturn which take the theory of worm holes & shown in it the most spectacular way possible with awesome special effect which will warp the astronauts to another galaxy in quest of a habitable planet with the brilliant performance from the crew David Gyasi playing Romilly , Anne Hathaway playing Brand, Wes Bentley playing Doyle & a robot with a great sense of humour named TARS voice by Bill Irwin.
Solid and compact premise on the concept, although it's been used before, this is one of the best Sci-fi film to date be made.
The is a very intelligent sci-fi film that thought provoking & make you think is it possible to actual travel through worm hole to other universe, this is a theory that has been long thought about through science across the world, the use of what time & space could be truly shown that in time anything can be possible.
The clever part of this film is that it dosent look fake, with the space scene there is nothing but silence which add the realism of space as nothing can be hear as sound cant travel this is what is also brilliant about this, the casting , acting the use of relativity of time being different on earth & the gravity pull of time with black holes is spot on as time is slow down even further is brilliant shown in this film. This truly is a masterpiece a film i recommend every one to watch.
Dislikes : The pace of the film is questionable but for this film im guess it had to be that way to tell the story.
Overall : Master piece, stunning visual effect, outstanding acting from all of the casts, total worth watching.
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 10 out of 10 for concept / real science with sci-fiction & theory's
