The Earth is dying and food is becoming scarce. Fewer and fewer crops are being produced and dust covers the planet. Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) is a former engineer/pilot still longing for space but now relegated to farming since there is no money for space exploration...Except for a secret NASA group tasked with finding a new planet that will support life. Cooper and his daughter Murph (Mackenzie Foy) stumble upon this secret group and the next thing you know, Cooper is tapped to fly the last manned flight expedition through a recently discovered wormhole. Cooper and Amelia Brand (Anne Hathaway) travel through space and head through the Black Hole in search of a planet that can sustain life for the remaining inhabitants on Earth. And remember, one hour in space is seven years on Earth (dog/space years?) so if they are gone too long, no one will be left when they return to Earth. What they discover will leave them faced with some tough decisions. Will Cooper make it back to his daughter as he promised? Will the people of Earth survive??

Where is Stephen Hawking when you need him? This movie is crazy confusing with all of the sling-shotting through Black Holes, time and space folding in on itself and the "fifth dimension". Luckily, you can still enjoy the movie even if you don't understand the science. The Earthbound relationships, especially Cooper and Miurph's father/daughter relationship, provide the heart of the movie. There are several touchng moments and you do care about the characters. Trainer Joe liked it better than I did. He really got a kick out of the guy snoring behind us. I liked it but I did feel like I was lost in a black hole at some points. The movie runs almost 3 hours and it starts to feel a little long. But, I did like it. It is very creative and the space scenes are just awesome. It was good. I just wanted it to be great.
