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?

The Wrong Stuff.
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?

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 >
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.
In the libertarian version the world is in crises because the pot crop is dying
Saw this.
No enviro-wackoism in the movie at all. Not even a hint of it.
The only hint of politics is that the public schools of the near future are teaching students that the moon landings were faked. The main character has a huge problem with this...so if anything, the movie has a slight right lean.
This is great science fiction.
Visually outstanding. Great plot.
Not dumbed down. I give it 9/10. Loss of a point because sometimes the background music drowns out some key conversation.
