The world's crops are being devastated. People face mass starvation. The earth is dying.
A team of scientists sets out on an interstellar journey to find a new planet for the people of earth.
From Wikipedia:
Interstellar is a 2014 science fiction film directed by Christopher Nolan. Starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, and Michael Caine, the film features a team of space travelers who travel through a wormhole in search of a new habitable planet...The film runs nearly three hours -- two hours and forty-nine minutes to be exact.
Interstellar premiered on October 26, 2014 in Los Angeles, California. Commercially, it is scheduled for a limited release in North America (United States and Canada) on November 5, 2014 and a wide release on November 7, 2014...

So, is the plot that mankind has ruined our planet, or the more plausible idea that the sun has just cycled up?
Is the spaceship a Lincoln?

Entropy is a cruel mistress...
The Wrong Stuff.
Wait, I thought the Moon was a cruel mistress.
Oh yeah, the Moon is just harsh.
The trailer doesn’t exactly excite.
Nolan's movies will never be dated. For example, the last two chapters in the "Dark Knight" trilogy had a lot to say about America's War on Terror, but did so in a way that wouldn't put people off or give the story an expiration date to future generations.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Interstellar" takes the same approach by shying away from the divisive, anti-science hoax that is Global Warming:
Citizens of the world convinced that our planet and civilization are now in a possibly irreversible decline will readily embrace the postulation of the script, by the Nolan brothers Jonathan and Christopher, that life here will shortly be unsustainable. Shrewdly, the writers don't reflexively blame the deterioration on the catch-all “global warming” or “climate change,” but rather upon severe “blight” resembling the Dust Bowl of the 1930s; wheat and other produce are done for, while corn growers, such as Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), may have a bit of time left.This is smart storytelling, as well. Why alienate those of us who believe in science with a bunch of made-up, left-wing Climate Change nonsense?
Evil corporations destroyed the planet.
Profit motives destroyed the planet.
Greed destroyed the planet.
Yawnnnnnnnnnn.
Hollow-wood has about run those themes into the ground. That have been a dozen such movies in the last few years.
Hollow-wood destroyed the movie industry.
What corporations, profit, and greed did not destroy, the GOP government shutdown did.

The good mistress releases your 2nd chakra- just ask Algore.
I smell a stink that is going to yet another gorebull warming/climate change/environazi movie.
“they must find a new planet to replace a dying earth”
That’s all I need to know to know exactly where this is going.
No need to fictionalize waht is about to happen.
I hope someday to both write a book to Christians and Jews about what the Bible says is about to take place and hope also to collaborate and create a screenplay on the subject.
The book will be a detailed explanation of Matthew 24 and it’s purpose for information, encouragement, and comfort.
The screenplay I hope will have the biblical-prophetic events described in the book in the background with what I hope to be a compelling fictional story in the foreground.
The foreground may very well be the life of a Jew or Jewish family or group that see the sudden disappearance of millions of people, the almost immediate death of one-fourth of the world’s population, accepting Jesus Christ as their Messiah, and eventually running for their lives and hiding in Petra, Jordan while most of the rest world is destroyed by the world ruler himself, the plagues for God’s wrath upon the earth, and at Armageddon at Christ’s appearing.
I don’t think I could put up with Matthew McConaughey’s voice for three hours... that Lincoln commercial is bad enough.
Ho-hum; more AGW propaganda I presume. Then we evil white men will do the same to the new planet...< /sarc >
Isn’t it amazing, we got radical Muslims running amok, assisted by our own POTUS no less, who are hellbent on killing every last man, woman and child on earth who isn’t Muslim. Then we Iran working on nukes with the full blessing of the Barry regime. Then we got Ebola being transported all over the world, and God knows what the real story is behind that when the ball drops after the election.
And what do liberals focus on? That my moped is adding an infinitesimal amount of CO2 to a CO2 atmospheric percentage that is a mere 0.04% or zero point zero. By the way: When the radical Muzzies get those nukes working and start shooting them off, that’s going to do just wonders for the environment isn’t it, especially if Israel responds in kind.
It’s just a stupid movie, but still: dozens of movies about the aftermath of nuclear holocaust probably did have a cumulative effect over time on the attitudes of baby boomers, though the immediate impact of any one film wasn’t great.
Keeping Mankind restricted to inhabiting only this one planet is like putting a baby in the basket where it has been since being newborn and launching them downstream in a major river which transits a number of great waterfalls where the baby is certain to be killed, sooner or later.
Motion picture themes which envision Mankind colonizing and inhabiting asteroids, planetoids, planets, and artificial habitations in space realistically portray the fact Mankind must establish homes off the Earth or perish.
