Did we run out of food because Matthew McConaughey ran over it all?
Interstellar trailer

Well, this looks pretty good.
It looks like a science fiction movie with a script, and characters, and some thought behind it. It might actually evoke some human feelings in some people watching it.
It also doesn't happen to be the upteenth installment in some skiffy adventure franchise or a movie based on comic book characters who like to knock each other into big collapsing structures of one kind or another.
It's hard to imagine how a major studio let this one slip through.

Total fluke.
It looks good, and I like most films Nolan has put out. I'll see it.

Yep, which makes the plot driver of "nothing in the solar system" hard to justify.
Such is Nolan's power at Warner Bros.
The movie reportedly takes place almost entirely in space. There's a lot they're holding back for now in terms of the visuals.
Well, it's got my interest. I'm looking forward to seeing it.
Me, too. Unless reviews are across-the-board horrible, I'll go see this one.

This. So this.
I'm generally a fan of Nolan's work and I'll likely check this one out. I hope they get around to focusing a bit more on the actual space stuff, though, in future marketing. I could see a lot of people Really Not Giving a @!#$ about Matt McConaughey Hugs His Kids.
It's the kind of original story that got greenlit in the 80s and 90s by the dozens.
I like how there are still things in the business that happen even though Dennis can hardly imagine it.
I can understand why it's not a very flashy marketing approach. But as a father, I found that to be the most compelling part of the trailer. Knowing the stakes, and wondering how he'll keep his promise, elevates the film (for me) from Just Another Space Movie™.
Of course, that's a lot to read into and expect out of a film from such a short trailer. But hey, the marketing worked on me, at least.
It emphasizes the idea "story/characters over visuals". There will be enough TV spots and reviews focusing on the visuals.
I certainly hope that's true. The trailer is beautiful but I got the small impression that the space journey would be the final third of the film. I love all things Nolan and I trust him thoroughly, so I'm not too worried about that impression. November cannot come soon enough.
I somehow think all those Earth scenes are going to be flashbacks or visions throughout.
This has piqued my interest.
The Barzan Wormhole in TNG - The Price gets a half-point for at least getting the spherical part right, but then it becomes a swirly light funnel too. And Voyager just depicted the Barzan Wormhole as a white whirlpool thingie.

There's possibly some kind of climate disaster, plant disease, or pesticide SNAFU that seems to wipe out all the crops on Earth except corn if this account is accurate:
Maybe Monsanto was trying to corner the market with genetically engineered crops that could only be treated by their Round-Up pesticide and they accidentally killed everything.
That part seems a little goofy to me, but since it only seems like the catalyst for the wormhole mission, which is what I want to see anyway, it's forgivable, IMO. I can't wait to see this.
I'm not arguing that, just posting what the disaster is supposed to be in the film.
Although, I'm guessing the wormhole provides access to an alternate Earth judging by some of the hints about the plot involving alternate dimensions and/or time travel through the wormhole.
