The disc includes a great set of extras that reveal all that went into making such an ambitious film. Inside 'Interstellar' (HD, 1 hr. 50 min.) – This behind-the-scenes documentary features 14 featurettes: "Plotting an 'Interstellar' Journey," "Life on Cooper's Farm," "The Dust," "Tars and Case," "The Cosmic Sounds of 'Interstellar,'" "The Space Suits," "The Endurance," "Shooting in Iceland: Miller's Planet/Mann's Planet," "The Ranger and the Lander," "Miniatures in Space," "The Simulation of Zero-G," "Celestial Landmarks," "Across All Dimensions and Time," "and "Final Thoughts." As you can tell from the titles they cover just about every interesting aspect of the film's production. Ones to really watch are "Tars and Case," which discusses the practical and digital effects that went into the movie's unique robots and "Miniatures in Space" which shows how some of the awesome deep space images were created and filmed. We first see a series of 'talking heads' interviews with individual aged people, who discuss certain events which pertain to what follows - CRUCIALLY however, those interview clips have interspersed amongst them a series of clips of piloted space flight which are just as significant.With our time on Earth coming to an end, a team of explorers undertakes the most important mission in human history; traveling beyond this galaxy to discover whether mankind has a future among the stars. (less) Cooper/Murph relationship - the key to the whole movie. This may be the best parent/child relationship ever in the movies. I would have been happy if this had just been a movie about them trying to save the farm. Making Murph a girl instead of a boy as in the original script made Coopers' leaving even more poignant.

Yet what makes Interstellar stand out from a film like 2001 is its script. 2001, despite some of its big ideas and breath taking visuals, is at times a cold and clinical film where the most human character is the computer HAL. Interstellar definitely has its share of striking visuals and fascinating scientific concepts (explored in much greater depth in The Science Of Interstellar by the films science consultant Kip Thorne) but that's not really what the film is about at an emotional level. The film explores humanity's place not just on this pale blue dot but out in the universe from our potential as a species to that fight or flight reflex that leads some of us to do incredible things and others to commit terrible acts of cowardice (something that makes me think that the name of Matt Damon's character is no accident). Interstellar speaks to what drives us and asks what we are capable of, telling us that (to paraphrase a line from the film's first teaser trailer) our greatest accomplishments are still waiting for us out there somewhere and that, in the words of the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas that becomes almost a refrain throughout the film, we should not go gentle into that good night and rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Keeping the focus of the movie on Murph's bedroom - despite all the spectacular visuals, what gave this movie it's huge heart was Murph's bedroom and what it represented to her regarding her relationship with her father. The Dust– The dust, which played a big part in the Earth sequences, was done on film as opposed to during post-production, for a more realistic effect. What follows is an introductory-type set of scenes so we are familiarised further (and more specifically) with the era, present 'predicament' and the significant characters - before the story rapidly progresses as the influential plotlines are 'injected' into it.Life on Cooper’s Farm– We get a look at the location of the farm (in Canada, not the Mid-West), the immense corn field that was actually planted (and later sold, which turned a profit) as well as some of the accruements of the Cooper place. That's a whole lotta movie," gasped my wife after her first viewing of Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar.' Warner Bros.
