Interstellar [review]

The end of civilization ? Time & Gravity. Gargantua, the name given to the "back hole" that is uncovered enabling space travel to enter into another galaxy whereby the quest for a planet similar to earth can be found. 
Interstellar is 3 hours long, but for me fascinating. It's today's "2001 Space Odyssey". Matthew McConnaughy is Emmy good. Had the Producers used Motorhead on the soundtrack the picture would have been classic for millenniums to come. 
Cooper & Mirth (Cooper's daughter) farmers with brilliant minds uncover NASA's "Area 51" .  After learning the earth is doomed ; Cooper is now  selected to pilot a voyage not far from planet Saturn, a small gate into another galaxy to uncover 12 possible life containing planets known as "plan A". What is Plan "B" ? Go buy a ticket and find out. 
Cooper is brought up to speed by NASA that earlier exploration was sent to these 12 mystery planets. Cooper, robot, and crew will eventually land on two of them. One of the planet's has equivalence of aging them 7 years for every hour spent on the planet. Struggle & conflict occurs and it begins to look like they will never return home to mother earth. 
If you enjoy science, and the concepts of relativity plus time, you will love this movie. Better yet if you get your kicks out of watching the expressions on the easily confused, bring them to Interstellar with you.
