“Mankind was born on Earth. It was never meant to die here.”

The day has finally arrived: Interstellar in IMAX hits theaters nationwide. Reaction to this film will follow next week. But, for today, it seems fitting to travel not into space, but back in time to watch the first trailer released one year ago. The purpose of this is to remind ourselves of the simplistic nature of this daring and dangerous space opera set on the biggest stage (an undiscovered Universe) with Earth’s survival hanging in the balance.

Interstellar is intelligent science fiction with heart.

Some may dare to say it has the potential to join the best of both worlds (literally).
