This is a screenshot taken from IMDb, it shows the film "Interstellar" which was released on the 7th of November 2014. To give a brief outline of the plot; in the near future a small group of explores take a journey through a wormhole in search of a new inhabitable planet due to the collapse of Earth.
This fits closely to the Sci-Fi thriller genre. To begin with; it incorporated the setting in the near future which is commonly used to get the audience thinking about how things could turn out. It also technology with is not around today and this plays a large part in Science Fiction films.
Interstellar was rated 8.9 from 337,175 viewers which is extremely high. From this we can infer that it was very popular with a variety of people. This is uncommon with science fiction films due to the fact that they usually have a very niche target audience, however this could be explained by the fact that it is only a subgenre of Thriller; which is debatably one of the most popular genres in our time.
It was directed and starred in by Christopher Nolan who is well known in the thriller genre for films such as "Memento" and "Inception". This would draw in a large audience due to the recurring success of his other films.
