In Chris Nolan's new movie Interstellar, a blight fungus is ravaging the earths food supply and the only hope of saving the human civilization is to go "Interstellar".Chris Nolan aimed to create a realistic representation of how a black hole looks and acts. Contrary to many sci-fi movies including black holes, Interstellar's was scientifically accurate in the way the black hole functions. Kip Thorne, a physicist specialized in gravity helped create a gravitational lens to simulate the bending of light a black hole will create.
Thorne played a big role in one of the most visually stunning points in the whole movie. He worked out mathematics to generate the accretion disk found spinning around black holes. But what really drives story of the movie is the increasing difference in time between Cooper and his Daughter.
I think Interstellar could be a leader for sci-fi because they hired scientists to help in production. Often in film you don't see people with real expertise in science helping with a science film, but it seems to be really beneficial to bring someone with that background into film. I saw Interstellar myself, and I have to say it was absolutely stunning and visually vibrant, and the story was fantastic as well. I think the film industry should incorporate more scientists into production, it seems to have been very beneficial towards Interstellar.
