Disturbing Interstellar detail comes to light after film’s IMAX re-release
Share:
One scene is even more unsettling now 10 years have passed. A disturbing detail about Interstellar has been uncovered in celebration of the film’s record-breaking re-release. The Christopher Nolan film, which is still generating theories to this day, has built up a dedicated fan base since it was released 10 years ago – and has now become the highest-grossing film to be re-released in IMAX.
Matthew McConaughey stars in the film as an astronaut who leaves his young daughter behind to embark on a mission that will save Earth, which is on the verge of collapse. One memorable scene in the film shows the astronauts arriving on Miller’s planet, a waterworld where time is severely dilated due to its proximity to a supermassive black hole, meaning that one hour on the planet equates to seven years on Earth.
As they carry out their mission on the planet, three hours and 17 minutes pass – and when they return to their spacecraft, they discover 23 years have elapsed back home. This leads to a heartbreaking moment where McConaughey’s character watches video messages from his children who for him, mere hours ago, were young, but are now grown up.
After re-watching the film, fans are working out how much time has passed on Miller’s planet – and the result is as unsettling as you’d expect. While 10 years has passed since the film was released, this would mean that the characters have only been on the planet for just over one hour.
