"Set in a future not that far from us now, Interstellar follows Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), a former Nasa test pilot turned farmer who leaves his children Tom (Timothee Chalamet) and Murph (Mackenzie Foy) behind on a climate-ravaged Earth to search space for a new home for mankind. Murph is furious with grief at Cooper for picking a future for humanity over a life spent with her;"
"When Interstellar came out, critics picked at the plot holes, scientists picked at the science, and almost everyone mocked Hathaway's speech about love. It was also infinitely memeable: one devastating scene, in which Cooper weeps after seeing Murph as an adult, has long been killed by internet irony. But 11 years later, Interstellar is the internet's favourite film. It is now the No 1 film on Letterboxd for number of fans"
Shane Short has watched Interstellar every Saturday for 18 months and saw it 31 times during a 2024 rerelease. He traveled from Hawaii to Melbourne to view the film on 1570 film at the city's IMAX, where screenings often sell out. Interstellar depicts a near-future, climate-ravaged Earth and follows Cooper, a former NASA pilot who leaves his children to search for a new home for humanity. Murph resents Cooper while Tom grows embittered and Murph later becomes a scientist working with Professor John Brand and Dr Amelia Brand. Initial reception criticized plot, science, and Hathaway's love speech. Over time, online fandom has elevated the film and Hans Zimmer's score has become ubiquitous on social platforms.
