This Monday I went to the movies and saw Interstellar. When discussing Guardians of the Galaxy I wrote that I am curious whether the Battle of the Five Armies will top Guardians of the Galaxy as my movie of the year. Early in the movie I knew it is Interstellar and I don’t have to see the hobbit beforehand to decide that.
Here is the trailer. It is a bit similar to Beyond Earth, don’t you think?
In the school scene, of which you can see parts in the trailer, there is this great dialoge, where the protagonist gets annoyed with the school teacher, who tells him that in modern school books the “truth” about the Apollo moon landings is printed, which is they were a fake to bring down the Soviet Union. Here is what Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin has to say about that:
Anyway, the film was really great. The only thing I didn’t quite understand is how the anti-gravitation drive (or whatever they were researching the whole movie) was supposed to beat the crop diseases that were causing starvations. I suppose isolating the crops on a huge farming space station should do the trick. Ok.
