3) Miller's Planet

Few moments in Interstellar are as haunting and visually breathtaking as the scenes on Miller’s Planet. Here, time manifests as an unforgiving force, with each second stretching into years on Earth. The place is an infinite, ankle-high sea, unsettlingly quiet, except for those waves, not mere ripples but monstrous walls of water, thundering across the horizon. The scene is thick with tension as they struggle to escape. But when they finally make it back to the ship and realize 23 years have slipped away for Romilly, the weight of time hits like a gut-wrenching blow.
