The iconic science fiction film Interstellar, directed by Christopher Nolan, is set to return to Mexican cinemas to celebrate its tenth anniversary. Both Cinemex and Cinépolis have confirmed they will be screening this cinematic masterpiece in their IMAX theaters, offering audiences a truly unparalleled movie experience.
Originally released in 2014, Interstellar marked a significant shift in contemporary cinema due to its emotional storytelling, innovative visual effects, and the epic soundtrack composed by Hans Zimmer. Ten years later, the film continues to captivate viewers worldwide, and now it will return to Mexico, showcasing the latest projection technologies.
The re-release of Interstellar will kick off on January 9, 2025, starting with selected IMAX screens across different locations. Cinépolis will feature the film at its top IMAX venues, including Fórum Buenavista, Universidad, and Perisur, along with locations outside Mexico City such as Galerías Monterrey and Galerías Guadalajara.
Cinemex will also play host to this event, with several theaters scheduled for screenings. Cinemex locations featuring the film include: Antara, Encuentro Oceanía, Parque Delta, Santa Fe, and Parque Tezontle. Notably, the IMAX Platinum Theatre at Cinemex Market Antara is billed as the largest and most advanced theater of its kind in Latin America.
The Interstellar plot transports audiences to a future where Earth faces extinction due to dwindling natural resources. The story centers around Cooper, played by Matthew McConaughey, who is recruited for a dangerous mission to explore space-time via a recently discovered wormhole, searching for habitable planets to secure humanity's future.
IMAX format enhances the experience with its oversized screens, which offer superior resolution and sound quality, immersing viewers thoroughly within the film's spectacular visuals and award-winning sound design.

Such high-tech features are set to redefine how audiences experience this cult classic.
