Interstellar is one of the most popular movies ever made and personally one of my favorites! The movie came out in October of 2014 so about 11 years ago. Interstellar is a movie about how earth is suffering from many disasters such as climate change, food scarcity, and food loss due to fires and such. As a solution to this problem, they turn to space travel and try to find a new home on another planet through interstellar space travel. This film shows a new way for humans to just give up what we have on earth rather than staying and adapting to these new changes and trying to reform the current issue back on earth. This film is trying to make a prediction of what we would do if this problem were ever to arise on earth, it’s simply saying we would want to leave earth rather than fixing the problem.
The technology used in this film is clearly way to far out for this generation on earth. They fly into black holes, go through worm holes, and travel to different planets in another galaxy. A big highlight in the film was this robot called tars which is an extremely advanced ai robot that helped the crew threw those travel days and is a emotionally and intelligent robot.
While Interstellar is a movie based on futuristic events and and traveling through space, we do see some possible events that happen on earth if we do not fix or resolve current issues we are facing today. The movie is not for from real throughout the movie where it shows earth however in the movie it shows things like crop failures, dust storms, and a huge collapse of earth as a whole.
In todays world we are already seeing a ton of unfortunate things like droughts, higher temperatures, and things like food insecurity in some parts around the world. The events that happen in the movie are not far off from what is going on in our world today. The movie is very emotional and honestly really sad as people just wanted to leave the planet instead of trying to fix it. In the movie however they talked about a fix for gravity and in the scene that has the worm whole we see them go through it and when Cooper gets back, the old man at NASA as solved gravity thanks to Cooper and him going through space. Overall great movie and highly recommend to people who haven’t watched it.
