Christopher Nolan and his team used practical effects to achieve the visceral feeling of the scene.
The Interstellar docking scene has become a touchstone for realistic space thriller sequences. It has been analyzed by real astronauts (who praise its rotational physics), studied by filmmakers for its editing (cutting between 25+ angles without losing spatial coherence), and memed into internet legend ( “They’re not docking, they’re docking with style” ). interstellar docking scene
After a disastrous visit to Dr. Mann’s icy planet, the Endurance space station is left tumbling out of control, damaged and airless. The crew—Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) and Brand (Anne Hathaway)—must dock the crippled Ranger Lander with the violently spinning Endurance to return home. The stakes: if they fail, the remains of NASA’s human mission to find a new habitable world will be lost, and Cooper will never see his daughter again.
