This movie is awesome, you will have your mind blown. It is both subtle and in your face on so many levels it is just a mind blowing experience for a 2hr and 45min movie. Nolan gives us the 2001 of our time. He doesn't bog us down with Star Trek techno babble or other minute. You are kept entertained and in your seat for the whole time. All the way to the end where your mind will get blown with the ending. Now a word of caution for those of us who are staunch defenders of the Apollo man to the moon landings having actually happened. They do give a conspiracy theorist reasoning for the rewriting of their text books, just sit tight you will survive. The basic plot is the earth is dying and that man kind is looking for a new earth, they don't give some techno/conspiracy/ global warming reasoning. Just that a blight has infected the various crops of food and that there is no cure for it. Basically the Earth is dying and there is nothing that can be done. On top of having Matthew McConaughey who gives a stellar performance and it is believable. There is Anne Hathaway who provides a good strong female lead character along w/ Jessica Chastain. We also get strong performances from Michael Caine and John Lithgow as support characters. As well as Matt Damon, this movie is full of little plot twists that keep you entertained. I will leave you with this Quote which is predominant through out the whole movie "Do not go gentle into that good night; Old age should burn and rave at close of day. Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
