It would be safe to say that the plot for Christopher Nolan's upcoming space epic, Interstellar, is being kept well under wraps - even though we've been gifted with a trailer, we're not really all that sure what the actual storyline is going to concern, save for "crops, "Matthew McConaughey" and "wormholes." What can we expect, then? Presumably something along the lines of 2001: A Space Odyssey and Inception (or at least that's what we hope). In true Nolan style, then, the movie looks wonderful on a visual level, with a plot that looks appropriately loopy from whichever way you approach it - the world is out of food, and Matthew McConaughey is the one to bring us back some more? There's no denying the fact that this trailer - with its brief shots of space travel - guarantees goosebumps. Especially as Michael Caine says: "We're not meant to save the world. We're meant to leave it." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSWdZVtXT7E
