946 Words4 Pages

Interstellar is a science fiction movie that focuses on space travel to save humanity from a dying Earth.

Although the beginning of Interstellar really hooked the viewers with a storyline that seemed relatable, the end of the movie left us feeling hopeless. At the end of the movie we were left feeling wary for Dr. Brand because the planet that she is on did not seem safe.

The only intelligent thought would be he is going to save her because she is not safe where she is right now.

There is no chance that humans would survive in space the way that the characters in the movie did. It would take many years for us to figure out how to reside on another planet.

    I think the movie Interstellar is mostly based on emotions and logic. It’s director Christopher Nolan said that The further out into the infinite we went and the more we isolated these characters who have to go across the universe, the more the focus naturally becomes on their humanity, on that intimate bond they have, what makes us human, all those issues{1}.
