\"\"\u201cInterstellar\u201d is three hours long and you feel every minute of it. It\u2019s an epic about the race against time to save humanity from a dying earth. We go from sickly cornfields to scraped-together spaceships in the outer reaches of space to uninhabitable planets to a virtual hall of mirrors that violates the laws of physics.<\/p>\n

Matthew McConaughey stars as a promising engineer turned corn farmer who is the closest thing the Earth has to a competent astronaut after famine made pretty much everybody have to focus on corn farming. Humanity\u2019s only hope is to relocate everyone to a new planet on the other end of a wormhole. McConaughey and a small crew are sent on a mission to check out the three most promising candidates. The mission will take decades and he has to leave his family behind. And then it turns out that his family may have been the key to saving humanity all along.<\/p>\n

The movie on Earth is pretty bland, though McConaughey proves that his Oscar last year was no fluke. But of course it\u2019s in space when things get really intense. The characters find themselves in one situation after another where you can swear they\u2019ll never make it out, and yet there is that sliver of hope thanks to McConaughey\u2019s absolutely believable resilience and intelligence.<\/p>\n

Speaking of intelligence, in a way that\u2019s the movie\u2019s biggest problem. I couldn\u2019t keep up with all the science talk, especially when it came to time manipulation. Like the species, I was lost and needed McConaughey\u2019s relatability to rescue me. But even then, it was clear that \u201cInterstellar\u201d was doing everything it could to accomplish something important and amazing.<\/p>\n
