Interstellar is the best movie of the year!

Not yet, but looking forward to it

Just saw it in a movie theater in Greece.
Don't know if it is the best movie of the year but very cosmic and humanistic in the end.
Nolan's 2001 A Space Odyssey?

Did you walk out of the theater thinking the outside world had aged 50 years?

Based on a true story

Saw it Thursday night.

Meh, it was okay.
Pretentiously long.

There was seventeen people in the theater.

It won't rank in the top 50 movies of all time.

No.

I walked outside thinking I needed to pee.

Guardians of the Galaxy was more entertaining.

Oh god no. It is not the movie of the year. Between the long periods of boredom, the introduction of seemingly new story points, and the 3 hour running time, this movie easily takes the sucktrain of the year award.

Overhyped masturbatory crap for people who wave to be movie snobs

Saw it this afternoon - for as long as it was the script could have included some vital information - like specifically how the earth came into it's predicament and a real ending.

It should have had dinosaurs in it. Only a real sci fi movie have dinosaurs in it.

Sorry, fun film, but Filled with Major Plot Holes.

This was the BEST movie I've ever seen and I've seen many. Those who don't get it apparently have short attention spans -- they can't bear dialogue and need a constant fix of action. At least that's what it looks like. There was no pretense -- every minute was necessary and it did not seem like 2:48:00 to me as it went very fast. I very rarely stay seated and wind up going to bathroom or concessions but couldn't find an opening with this one. Forget the egghead or romantic crap -- this is the one.

Everybody is saying full of holes, but no examples?

So you don't see the propaganda this movie is?

It's just more apocalypse preparation.

The biggest Sci-FY of all time " The Apocalypse ".


Maybe you should have watched " Left Behind" ? I heard that was a masterpiece of Christianity.

MAJOR SPOILERS....stop reading this post if you haven't seen it and don't want to know.




I went in with high, high expectations. I really enjoy Nolan's work and this just seemed like the perfect cast, the perfect plot, perfect timing with McConaughey really working in his prime as an actor.

I think the above mindset led to my disappointment, and I think that many people feel likewise. The basic critiques that I read before seeing it was that it was visually stunning, well acted, and the the story was a mess.
Spot on.

It was a beautifully shot film, the effects were amazing. Some great scenes that made your heart pound, especially the wave planet escape. Space action in IMAX made you feel like you were there.

But, yeah. The story. This is where it is really, really kind of just a mess. Is Cooper leaving his children completely parentless because he really wants to save the world, or is he leaving because his heart longs for adventure? It seems like more of the latter as the film goes on, and it causes conflicting emotion in the viewer. Which would be fine if it seemed as if Nolan did it on purpose....but it really feels like the conflict comes from shoddy story and character development.


The relationship between him and his daughter is sweet, and had real potential. Over the course of the film you are looking towards the ending, thinking, OK, he is going to somehow go back in time and fix things, there is too much relativity written into the script, that has to be where this is headed. Especially after everything falls apart and he finds out that the earth was never going to be saved. Cheesy, maybe, obvious, yes....but that is what everyone wanted to see and what would have made the film make sense.

Instead we get a completely ridiculous plot trick where going into a BLACK HOLE somehow transports Cooper into a different dimension, where he is behind the book case and can only interact with the past via....well hell, he can knock books off of shelves and affect sand, but his physical being makes no other impression on our world. Wait, what? That makes no sense. And this is where it really went off the rails, and I started to see what people complain about with Nolan come to life before my very eyes.

A raging fire is going to destroy the farmhouse at the exact same moment that she is realizing the fact that her dad was the ghost thirty years before! Holy ridiculous plotting, Batman! Future versions of humans created the 5th dimension inside a black hole! Shenanigans! For some reason Cooper went to the spot in spacetime where his daughters room exists, and nowhere else! What a coincidence! I guess the future humans had it rigged to go where his mind wanted to go. But hang on....if the future humans have this technology, why in the hell didn't they just send the info on how to figure out the gravity equation back through time and give it to the scientists?

And on, and on. And the bitch of it was....through that whole ridiculous mess at the end, I thought, ok, this is really, really stupid. But, he is going to be able to get the info and go back in time, give it to Michael Caine right after he left, raise his family, at least there is that.

So what happens? He is thrown back in to our galaxy near Saturn.....and OMG I CAN BARELY WRITE THIS IT IS SO RETARDED.....he is picked up by a spacecraft in the nick of time, right before his oxygen ran out! Well surely this is his time, he is going to see his daughter and w....huh? Wait a second. What's that? She is now 124 years old and on life support. So instead of any kind of emotional closure with his little girl, a young Cooper goes and holds some incredibly old and strange woman's hand. Well, gee, I guess we can't travel back in time, so that makes sense. He just DID trael back in time, and physically affected our world....and this is what we get for the emotional payoff? Cooper holding the hand of his gnarled grandma/daughter, who tells him to leave because she has her own kids now?

Then he is back to space quest Cooper, going to find Anne Hathaway back through the worm hole. What it FAILS to mention is that in all likelihood, SHE is now a hundred years old due to the relativity factor, so showing her young and waiting for him isn't accurate. It should have shown her old and insane from raising the hundred kids that she grew from the embryo's.

And another thing, his daughter is 124....but, scientists are close NOW to figuring out how to turn off aging genes and stopping the clock. If he was going to have him meet his daughter that far in the future, it would have been scientifically more accurate to have around her looking around her 40's or 50's, taking no aging pills. And there were more plot holes! But I am too aggravated to go through any more!

This move was just.....well, for me it was just a huge letdown. Had the writing and plot been handled by someone esle, this COULD have been amazing. Let's leave it at that.

Well, just off the top of my head...

supposedly the world's greatest mind works on
his anti-gravity theory for several decades,
but it's really all just a hoax to trick
the people who are going to die ANYWAY...

so WTF was that about?

but more importantly, the true anti-gravity
riddled is solved by shooting an old, defective
MILITARY robot into a black hole and somehow
it's able to know and figure out world-class
physics that no human can solve but wait...

the robot is able to transmit OUT of the black
hole (which swallows all stuff, even RADIO WAVES)
back to for a SECOND-HAND interpretation by a
pilot who also knows NOTHING about physics,
who then relays it via morse code THROUGH TIME
back to the start of the story, to solve the
anti-gravity theory which.... well, which we
really wouldn't have needed... except we did,
etc.

....I went and saw 'Big Hero 6'.

exactly.

we're told over and over about how they can't travel
in time but lo and behold, they're able to send
INFORMATION back through time to just the exact
right location and time, and that information
is extracted out magically from the black
hole by what's initially described as
an "old, unreliable military robot".

obviously the 5th dimensional beings already
POSSESS the magically knowledge. Errr,
just send it directly?





Exactly.

The movie was fine until the last thirty minutes,
and then it just fell apart scene after scene
as it presented its magical answers.

except it's not really a hoax
because NOBODY KNOWS NASA exists anymore,
the Great Scientist's laboring
really is in vain
because NOBODY KNOWS HE DID IT.

WHAT.
THE.
FUCK.

....it has a big marshmallow-ey robot in it.

or have longer attention spans that
can remember WHAT HAPPENED in the
preceding hour that makes no sense.


I know now why this movie is three
hours long. It was so fans like you
don't remember what happened in the
first two hours.

Nobody knows NASA exists
but Michael Caine labors on for decades
on anti-gravity hoax that

NOBODY
KNOWS
ABOUT.
