A group of explorers must travel beyond our solar system in search of a planet that can sustain life. The crew of the Endurance are required to think bigger and go further than any human in history as they embark on an interstellar voyage into the unknown. Coop, the pilot of the Endurance, must decide between seeing his children again and the future of the human race. Written by Warren D'Souza

WHAT I LIKED

Sy-Fy story lines these days are much more deeper, and have more meaning. I loved the whole story as a drama unfolding with the choices we make in life often has a ripple effect, not just with family and friends but in this case it diffidently showed how it can have a effect in time, it's not always going to be aliens or ghost that have the answers, but the answer is buried in our very own hearts, mind and soul. Love has no boundaries.

WHAT I DID NOT LIKE

I am most likely one of the few people that did not understand the part where Cooper is in that box like object trying to make contact with his daughter, I was lost in that part.

Movie was rated PG-13, well deserved rating. The family can watch it together but some younger people may not understand parts and may need some family bonding time to explain what is going on.

FOUR STAR RATING: 4 out of 4, just because I did not understand a few things, this movie was a adventure and a great deep story

I did buy the Blue Ray, this would have been a great movie to see on the big screen, I did not have the money to go.

Before Interstellar a Movie Called Contact

One of my favorite movies for 2014 was Interstellar staring Matthew McConaughey. It was a movie that opened my imagination and made me ask the what if question. How would I feel being my age and know that my child is going to die of old age because I went to another dimension and came back to my normal time line? You may have a better description of what happen in the movie but that is just one of many questions and how I understood the movie.

But before Interstellar there was a 1997 movie called called Contact staring Jodie Foster as Dr Ellie Arroway who takes a interstellar trip of her own. To her the trip seemed like hours but it was only minutes according to the authorities. Matthew McConaughey played Rev Palmer Joss and for the most part he was like the reluctant moral conscience to Ellie who did not believe in God.

After Ellie returns from her trip there are hearings on Capitol Hill to ask the question: Did indeed Ellie leave the planet? There is a statement she makes to the Senate hearing panel.

 "I was given something wonderful. Something that changed me. A vision of the universe that made it overwhelmingly clear just how tiny and insignificant -- and at the same time how rare and precious we all are. A vision... that tells us we belong to something greater than ourselves... that we're not -- that none of us -- is alone."

Think about that just for a moment.

As a society we have micro managed ourselves into a corner to a point that it is all most impossible to think outside of the box, and if we think outside the box to much we can get medication for it. Even modern day Christians have done the same. Let me be clear, I believe in God and the words written in the Bible exactly as they where written because of faith. People say it is a old book but it survived world wars and the tortured history of mankind. I do not believe that happen by chance.

I also believe that dinosaurs roamed the earth, but there is no mention of them in the Bible. What else is not in the Bible? Aliens? I don't know, it's just a question. For me God and the Bible is my foundation. But I do have a imagination and I do allow myself to ask what if?

I find it strange how the movies are almost at the opposite end of the question. Interstellar does not find aliens but more questions about love and the human condition while Contact test our faith and ask can we believe in something bigger then ourselves.

There was also another big statement in the movie Contact.

"So If it's just us ......Seems like a awful waste of space"
