Another entry from a Christopher Nolan film (and it won€™t be the last either, just a heads up) comes from his latest foray into the messed up and awesome, Interstellar. The 2014 epic science fiction blockbuster follows a team of astronauts as they enter a worm hole in search of a new home for the human race after we basically ruined a perfectly good one in Earth.

What follows is mind-blowing, even more so when you consider that what Matthew McConaughey finds on the other side was created by hand with no computers deemed necessary. A three floor set come art installation was erected using mesh and high resolution laser prints, and a space-suited and booted McConaughey was dangled in front of it.

Nolan didn€™t stop there, however. True to form, he went out of his way to use the real where at all possible, taking the shoot to the top of a melted glacier for the all-ocean planet Miller as well as using gigantic fans to kick up real monster dust storms.
