    Interstellar-Teen Movie Review

    “I love you forever and I’m coming back.” That’s what Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) told his 10 year old daughter Murphy  as he was leaving for an extremely dangerous and difficult mission. There had been an environmental disaster which wiped out most of the Earth’s food supply. Cooper’s mission was to travel through a wormhole near Saturn, which would lead he and other explorers to a new galaxy, with hopes to save mankind.

    Talking Points:

    The film is thought provoking and will spark some great parent/child conversations regarding the importance and power of love and family.

    Coop accepts the mission through the wormhole to save humanity. Leaving his family was devastating, however the films portrays that love is stronger than anything in the universe.

    There is an all-star cast, to name a few; Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine, Matt Damon and John Lithgow.

    The movie is creepy and disturbing in same context as the film, Gravity. While explorers are up in space you constantly wonder if they’ll make it home alive.

    Sexual Content: None

    Violent/Disturbing Content: Moderate

    • Two astronauts fight in space. One tries to murder the other and cracks the visor of his helmet.
    • Characters die in explosions, one character died being after being thrown around by a huge wave of water.
    • There’s not a lot of physical violence, however the storyline is creepy and disturbing. We see people on Earth suffering and scared while trying to get food and shelter.

    Crude or Profane Language: Moderate

    • The f-word is said once, we also hear, “sh–,”  “a–,” “b–ch,” “d–n,” and “h–” sporadically throughout the film.

    Drug and Alcohol Content: Mild

    • We see character’s drinking beer.

    Will Teens Like It? Yes

    Overall this is an intense and interesting drama. Depending on the child, I feel it’s appropriate for kids ages 12 and up.
