In the near future, Earth has been devastated by drought and famine, causing a scarcity in food and extreme changes in climate. When humanity is facing extinction, a mysterious rip in the space-time continuum is discovered, giving mankind the opportunity to widen its lifespan. A group of explorers must travel beyond our solar system in search of a planet that can sustain life. The crew of the Endurance are required to think bigger and go further than any human in history as they embark on an interstellar voyage into the unknown. Coop, the pilot of the Endurance, must decide between seeing his children again and the future of the human race. Written by Warren D'Souza
Rated PG13
The bad part of living in the middle of nowhere is having to drive about an hour to participate in a movie "experience" - meaning 3D/Imax stuff. Since I am not a sci-fi fan, this doesn't usually present much of a problem. It's not like I needed IMAX to see Ben Affleck's package in Gone Girl...(wait maybe I did because I TOTALLY missed it)
Anyway - it took me a while to get to Interstellar because of my geographic challenges. I was listening to all the advice about - YOU MUST SEE IT IN 3D etc.
Fast forward to a free Saturday and a willing date (daughter Tawni) and yesterday I found myself all settled in at the beautiful AMC Barrywoods IMAX Theater.
Maybe I am just not smart enough. I didn't understand Inception - what made me think I would be able to follow Interstellar? I just thought it was was too deep - I needed a notepad to keep track of everything.
My apologies to everyone who is going on and on about this film - to all those folks who are buying the ticket that allows a person to see it as many times as they want. Seriously? But Why?
I did enjoy all the previews in IMAX though - especially the Exodus God & Kings trailer....so it wasn't a complete loss.

It doesn't always make the best choices with its story, but it's always interesting. Even when it gets strange. Very strange. Good review Lisa.
