While Back to the Future integrated science with comedy, Interstellar chose an emotional theme. It combined wormholes and time travel with real-life humanistic themes of love, family, sacrifice, and more. These themes made the movie relatable to everyday audiences and went on to inspire other movies like Arrival and The Martian.
