I have been meaning to write a review of the movie Interstellar, but a reviewer at the Washington Free Beacon has stolen much of my thunder. Overall, Christopher Nolan’s latest movie is spectacular and, best of all, it has a huge swipe at climate alarmists. The review states in part:

If Interstellar were a parable about the dangers of global warming, as some have argued, why would Dr. Brand (Michael Caine) explicitly note that the blight feeds on nitrogen—an element that comprises almost 80 percent of our atmosphere and one that we have had little role in producing—rather than, say, carbon dioxide?

Consider also the following (admittedly esoteric**) reading of Interstellar‘s second act. Early in the film, we are informed of the Lazarus missions, an effort undertaken by a dozen scientists to travel through a wormhole and explore a series of planets that could, theoretically, sustain human life. Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) is told the mission was led by “the remarkable Dr. Mann.” No first name is given, to the best of my knowledge. After visiting one planet and finding it unsuitable for life, Cooper and his crew head out for the planet settled by Dr. Mann.

You can read the entire review here (WARNING: Potential spoilers!).

Overall what was refreshing about Interstellar was that the scientists were the heroes. It is also a reaffirmation that humans have the capacity to solve problems using our knowledge while rejecting being assigned a place in civilization as assigned by society. Run, don’t walk, to see it!
