This is Nolan's second Sci-fi film (his first was Inception 2010). The film is about traveling through a black hole into another part of the galaxy, light-years away from Earth.

Due to deteriorating conditions on Earth which has caused a severe fall in food production worldwide, NASA scientists decide to send a group of astronauts into a wormhole that has opened near Saturn and leads to new planets in another galaxy that may offer hope for humanity's survival.

The wormhole is discovered by Dr. John Brand(Sir Michael Caine) who attributes its creation to a superior alien race. The black hole is named Gargantua. NASA sends twelve scientists through the wormhole to identify potentially habitable worlds. Three of the missions are sending back positive signals: Miller, Edmunds, and Mann.

Brand recruits Cooper(Matthew McConaughey), former pilot and NASA astronaut, to command and pilot the spacecraft Endurance to recover the scientists' complete data on the planets, while he continues work on solving the use of gravity for propulsion, to send humanity on space stations to one of the habitable planets.

Watch the film to see what happens next.

I found the film a very gripping. The tension in the film is passed onto the viewer and we keep on wondering on what will happen next. The cast is decent, the special-effects, sound and cinematography are what we would expect from a Chris Nolan film. The only problem I had about the film, was the ending. The ending seemed to be catered for or tailored for keeping the audience satisfied, rather than to leave a through-provoking after image as Nolan's film Memento left us with.

I have seen many sci-fi films in my youth. Videocassettes were the only entertainment we had back then...
