Spoiler alert for anyone who hasn't read the book: At the end of the movie Matt Damon leaves Mars and goes back to Earth, which he discovers is now becoming more inhospitable by the year. NASA tells him that they have discovered what appears to be a wormhole near the planet Saturn. He convinces NASA to mount a manned mission to seek out a new home. He along with eleven other scientists travels to another galaxy. In an ironic twist of fate he becomes stranded once again all alone on another world. At this point he completely loses it and decides he wants to go home and never go back in space again after having been through all this, sending fake data so that colonists unwittingly come to set up shop…

This movie deserves already an oscar !
Can't wait. By the way Mat even tough you had a small character in Interstellar, you made me hate your character, as your acting was so good. ^_^
Matt Damon in space is always bad news XD
I'm a fan of Matt Damon, but I'd rather meet a real astronaut any day.
"you know"
Yeah i see you there doctor mann, dont think youre fooling anyone!!!!!
This movie will indeed pave a great way for our children of this present generation to be scientifically drilled with space exploration.
My goodness, what a load of cynics here! I was fortunate to have been born in the Sixties, where that generation believed anything was possible and that they could change the world for the better.
ĺ pity you guys today, who have no vision, no faith in anything and no hope.
I am so going to watch that movie and I believe in the future of colonizing Mars. We have to go! This earth will go ; maybe ? But might as well have plan B ready. For some parts in our future we did not do so well and we do know, it will bite our butts; we don't want to admit that. Then we the humans always wanted to see whats behind the horizon and g all the way.
Sure Damon the "spirit " not furthering any agenda .
