On the family farm, ex-NASA test pilot Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) struggles to raise his kids, the precocious 10-year-old Murph (Mackenzie Foy) and her 15-year-old brother Tom (Timothee\u00a0Chalamet), with help from Donald (John Lithgow), his late wife&#8217;s father.<\/p>\n<p>In the most obvious commentary by writer\/director Christopher Nolan Nolan, Cooper\u2019s crop, corn, ubiquitous in American food, survives the blight &#8212; for now. Nolan makes the threat of starvation and suffocation real with pseudo-documentary interviews of elders remembering how the \u201cearth turned on them.\u201d Although Murph shares her father\u2019s ability and interest in science, she also claims a ghost communicates with her by pushing things off her bookcase, and the ghost leads Cooper to an off-the-grid NASA operation charges with survival of the species and led by Cooper\u2019s mentor, Prof. Brand (Michael Caine).<\/p>\n<p>Soon Cooper embarks on a mission through a wormhole, seemingly placed there by a higher, friendly intelligence at just the right moment. He searches for new earth, along with Brand\u2019s daughter, Amelia (Anne Hathaway), Romilly (David Gyasi), co-pilot Doyle (Wes Bentley) and the very-human TARS (voiced by Bill Irwin), a nod to the robots of <em>Lost in Space<\/em> and <em>Star Wars.<\/em> While time will pass uninterrupted on earth, time\u00a0for Cooper and his crew fluctuates, and a visit to one planet costs them 7 earth years\u00a0for each hour. Soon, a thirty-ish Murph (Jessica Chastain), who is still angry with her father, works for Brand, and a married Tom (Casey Affleck) continues to farm.<\/p>\n<p>From an over-the-top contemplation of God&#8217;s navel to a geek-dream of space and time permutations, Nolan, co-writer\/brother Jonathan Nolan, and executive producer\/CalTech physicist Kip Thorne provide myriad philosophical questions to contemplate. Although discussions of theoretical physics\u2019 black holes, gravitational singularities, and extra-dimensional space will give the geeks something to argue about, the central treatise focuses on the nature of humanity and its drive to survive, as well as on science&#8217;s relationship with the spiritual.<\/p>\n<p><em>Interstellar<\/em> also anchored on earthly consideration by celebrating noble explorers and pioneers and playing on child-parent relationships. Seeing <em>Interstellar<\/em> in an Imax theater is worth the extra cost because of cinematographer Hoyte Van Hoytema\u2019s ravishing images of space and Hans Zimmer&#8217;s overpowering score, which literally rattles and shakes the seats. Nolan jammed-packed <em>Interstellar<\/em> with surprises, and the stellar cast, many more than mentioned, provide more surprises.<\/p>\n<p><em>Interstellar<\/em>, a Paramount Pictures release co-produced with Warner Bros., is rated PG-13 for some intense perilous action and brief strong language, runs a quicksilver 169 minutes, and opens in theaters Nov. 5.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Sandra Olmsted In an unspecified future, the world has been changed by a blight, which resembles the 1930s Dust Bowl, although America\u2019s breadbasket still grows enough food to keep going.
