Interstellar is one of the best films released in recent memory

[Cinderblock]

Just finished watching it. I liked it up until the black hole, then everything became kind of fantasy-ish and confusing. I'll probably have to watch it again.

[iloveus]

The whole surviving the black hole thing was thought up by Kip Thorne ph.D himself.

[Dexnevergivesup]

Am gonna watch this movie on Wednesday. Hopefully, its good.

So was he going to back to get her at the end or help her colonize that planet? Technically she should only be on that planet for a few hours before he shows up, somewhat like when they landed on the first planet with he huge tidal waves. Your 4th dimension answer blew my mind somewhat. Mastery of gravity will lead to mastery of time, which is expressed as time in this dimension but is completely different in the upper dimension?

no, they never said how close Edmunds planet was to the black hole, so we can only assume the time dilation is negligable

Dammit, I'm always on spread with the good posters! Why?

Well up to that point I believe most of what was going on was as accurate as out science has gone. Everything else is clearly based on an hypothesis( albeit the most positive of one).

The bookshelf was the only form of communication for the dad after he passed through the black hole and went to a different dimension. The 5th dimension people knew his mind wouldn't be able to comprehend it as a 5th dimensional realm, so they created the "bookcase" as a form of communication for him to relay the answer to harness gravity to his daughter.

This. I think people are getting confused at why exactly it was a bookcase...and thats because if you can only communicate through gravity how do you translate that with a bookshelf? By using that gravitational force to push books and objects off of the bookshelf. His first thought was to spell out STAY with morse, and then use binary to provide the coordinates, and then finally he ****ed with the watch...this all happened within minutes, but relative to Murf the different methods of communication were spaced out over weeks or months.

Exactly. The elements of time in this movie were done to perfection.

Eh it's still pretty sci-fi. Especially knowing he is only seeing what a far more advanced civilization has created for him to see and use to communicate, for realistic perspective, just assume they had watched every single moment in her life and decided the best way for him to communicate with her was the bookshelf, so they created an environment where he could communicate across dimensions.

so im guessing this movie is "babys first relativity lesson: the 2 hour long cgi explosion set to another inception soundtrack" ?

I felt the same way man. Still a fantastic movie, but I feel like there could have been a better way to make that. I am not sure how but still... awesome none the less

[arn710]

Kind of related to the movie

The clips they're showing through out the beginning and towards of the end of the old people are from a documentary series called "The Dust Bowl" by Ken Burns

Its a really great watch if you're into history at all

[randomous]

Loved this movie as well. My favorite movie since Inception.

I definitely enjoyed the movie. I don't understand how anyone can get so riled up about the scientific facts about a movie. It's a movie and it's supposed to be entertaining. It's not a classroom or a factual documentary about space travel. I don't know if it's their attempt at trying to be smarter than the writers and directors, but lets try something. Next time you *******s are watching a movie and you start saying to yourself, OMG they can't leave that planet with a smaller ship because of the gravitational pull - just walk away from the film and drink some milk. Let the adults who understand its JUST A MOVIE enjoy the show. /RANT

dat o'neil cylinder my god its full of stars

But how? Scientist don't know what to expect after that point. The producers simply went with the most positive outcome( him surviving, being able to comprehend how to manipulate time/gravity in the 5th dimension).

many of my friends call me a movie snob, because i tend to be one at times. that being said, I fuking love everything about this movie. Saw it in IMAX opening night, was completely blown away. watched it again on the computer a few nights ago, and even on the second watch i got goosebumps. outstanding, entertaining, escapism at its finest. i think it's one of Nolan's best, arguably the most entertaining (on par with TDK)

This chit always blows my mind. Brb watching star wars and criticizing light sabers.

Brb watching avatar and getting rustled over floating mountains.

YEAH! MY MAN!
I think what people fail to take away from this is that it's a ****ing movie. Sure, humans look like humans and some physics stuff is pretty accurate, but it's still a movie. We don't know what a 5th dimension looks like or even if it exists.

avatar was so scientifically absurd (purposefully) that i don't know how anyone could get rustled over that.

[MisterGrieves]

Wanted it to be outstanding, but only felt it was 6/10.

So is traveling through wormholes created by a 5th dimensional advanced race but ayyy

[Barylen]

I thought the movie was good, but a few things got to me.

1. The story was great with world ending etc. but not enough dramatics on what kind of influence it gave the people on earth except coughing lol.
2. Matt Damon = Dr. Mann has been an astronaut for decades and started the project, yet he doesnt know that he will blow up if he attaches without it being fully attached?? That makes no sense and actualy made me mad while watching it.
3. The last third was not enough for me to give it 10/10.

Eh #2 kinda got me as well but fuk it

I mean, I think he knew it was a bad idea and it'd probably go wrong, but if you think back to what he said about 50/50 odds being the best he's had in years its not crazy to think that Mann thought it "might" work. You have to keep in mind that a lot of flight systems and systems you'd find in space are set for maximum safety and redundancy, so the system might stop you from doing something it thinks is dangerous but you could realistically get away with it...maybe.

So I think he just thought YOLO, but I don't think he was totally ignorant to how dangerous what he was trying to accomplish with the airlock.

The matrix is better.

[Lawlstud]

This is like final boss fight music

[jackjonez]

I really enjoyed it, bit confusing though at times.

Yep, completely comparable films...
