We probably all sometimes think about what the world will look like in the future, how our planet will surprise us and what we will do for or against it.

In the future shown in the movie "Interstellar" by Christopher Nolan, the people are focused only on their survival. Mistakes made by people in the past have caused a long-lasting drought and, as a consequence, hunger. The main goal of humankind is to produce enough food for everyone. A group of scientists under the leadership of professor Brand (Michael Cane) finds a spatiotemporal tunnel. They organize intergalactic journeys which may help to find a second home for the people of Earth. Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), a former NASA pilot, currently a farmer and the father of two kids, finds the professor's scientific base. There he must make a difficult decision which will mean permanent separation from his kids and participation in the Endurance spaceship journey, which is crucial for the fate of humankind. He is accompanied by professor Brand's daughter, Amelia, (Anne Hathaway) and two scientists: Doyle (Wes Bentley) and Romilly (David Gyasi).

I have read many differing extreme opinions about this movie. The majority are positive, but I found a few extremely negative views as well. The movie received many award nominations and won the Oscar for the best special effects and six Saturn rewards, i.e. for music, screenplay, scenography and the best sci-fi movie. I decided to watch it to form my own opinion. The movie is surprising on many grounds. Despite the unusual subject, the spectacular special effects did not dominate this movie but emphasized its attractiveness.

The authenticity and solid exploration of the topic are impressive. As well as fiction, special effects and fantastic experiences, we have an interesting account of astrophysics. Relativity of time, the twin paradox, the lack of sound in space and the horizon anomaly are only some of the phenomena explored by the creators of the film. The film demonstrates that taking part in such a journey through time and space is not simply an act of courage; it also involves loneliness and the fact that on returning to Earth there is almost no chance of seeing your loved ones again.

For me, the only problem with "Interstellar" was its long running time. It is difficult to break away from the screen, so dividing the movie into two parts is just not an option. However, almost 3 hours of even such engrossing action is simply a little bit too much for me.
