Interstellar comes to theaters on November 7, 2014. Here is a story written by Hollywood studios that I personally refuse to believe in. Adventure is in front of our doorstep. We must confront the reality that nothing in our solar system can help us. We’re not meant to save the world, he tells us. We’re meant to leave it. The Earth cannot sustain us, and perhaps it does not even want us anymore. We must go find a new home, and to do so we must leave the cradle and sail on that ocean of black above—a wine-dark sea infinitely more vast than Homer’s Aegean. The journey will be of unknown length, and the chance of success isn’t addressed. It’s implied heavily that as a species we’re doomed if we don’t try. The borders of our own world are pretty well known now. Even hiking around in whatever woods are near where you live doesnt have the same sense of mystery it used to have before you could fire up Google Earth and see that they do in fact end. We have little outlet for our desire to go and see—its one of the things that makes movies and television popular. But there are still vast oceans beneath us and boundless sky above—and those too are things we explore through computers and movies and TV. The only truth is.... we must think not as individuals, but as a species
