Watch Interstellar Online Putlocker, I actually watched the entirety of Interstellar wearing foam earplugs brought along for that purpose, because Chris Nolan movies, like death-metal concerts, are best attended wearing some sonic safety gear (especially if the film is being screened in IMAX, as Interstellar will be in some theaters when it opens Nov. 7). The earplugs came in handy right away in that gorgeously shot opening cornfield sequence, in which equally gorgeous single dad Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) and his children, Tom (Timothée Chalamet) and Murph (Mackenzie Foy), chase a descending drone until it crashes in a field, then toss it into the back of their truck to take it apart for salvage.

The exact nature of the futuristic dystopia Cooper and his kids inhabit takes a while to establish itself, and in fact never fully emerges into relief. We’re given no explanatory date-stamps or backstory-furnishing voiceovers, and the world Cooper, his children, and his gentle father (John
similar to our own—there are cars and computers, functioning schools and governments, even organized games of what appears to be minor-league baseball. But gradually we learn that some time ago the earth’s soil stopped supporting any crop but corn and okra—and the last extant okra field is about to die out. Dust storms, kicked up by the erosion of topsoil due to worldwide blight, periodically ravage the land. The human population is on a mathematically chartable course toward extinction; as another character grimly observes to Cooper at one point, their children’s generation is likely to be the last to survive.

Cooper, who was once a crack spaceship pilot, gets recruited (or, depending how you look at it, coerced) into a top-secret exploratory mission organized by what remains of NASA—an institution that’s had to go underground in an era in which, for some reason, official ideology insists that the moon landing was faked. (Better not let Buzz Aldrin hear you say that, dystopian future!) After an accumulation of seemingly supernatural coincidences that would be too spoilery to reveal even if I could understand them, Cooper agrees to take the job, though it will mean leaving his children behind on a rapidly failing planet. He’s assured by NASA chief Dr. Brand (Michael Caine) that somewhere near Saturn, scientists have located a disturbance in space-time; it may be the human race’s only hope of skipping through a wormhole and locating a habitable planet in an otherwise impossibly distant galaxy.

Get used to hearing about that wormhole, because it becomes the Piccadilly Circus of Interstellar, the intergalactic traffic hub around which the film’s various plotlines whip in intersecting circles. After agonizingly tearing himself away from his family, Cooper sets out for Saturn, aware that because the effect of relativity on the passage of time, he may not find his way back through the wormhole to Earth before his children’s lifespans are long over, if he survives the trip at all. “Time is a resource, like oxygen or food,” he explains to his crew, pressing on them the importance of quickly gathering data on the three possible planets they’re investigating as replacement Earths. Meanwhile, back on the regular earth, Tom and Murph grow into adults played by Casey Affleck and Jessica Chastain. For many years, the siblings maintain the hope that their father will return, but eventually Tom’s video messages—which take years to be relayed remotely to Cooper in deep space and to which he can’t respond—trickle to a despairing halt. As for Murph, she can’t forgive her dad for abandoning his own children, even if it’s to serve the human race.
