Does Interstellar Suck? - MOVIE FIGHTS!

[@silentprophet777]

I think the reason people don't like interstellar is simply a lot of people don't realize how weird astrophysics and theoretical physics can get. 10 dimensional theory and relativity can get really weird. If you can manipulate 4th or 5th dimensional space like we can manipulate 3 dimensional space, then the ending does make sense logically, (the only flaw being the black hole was not by any means realistically deadly in the movie) its just so weird and such an obscure brand of science that everyone just thinks its dumb mystical crap. Its the same phenomenon when witches were burned for creating medicines.

[@akash9818]

No most people disliked it because it's an absolute mess as a piece of narrative. The 3-Act structure is godawful. I don't know what happened to Nolan in recent years. Both Inception and TDKR were abysmally structured and incoherent on so many levels. This is the same person who made one of the most intricately constructed movies of the past decade with Memento and turned a Batman film into a stunning 5 Act shakespearean tragedy with the Dark Knight. What happened? Now, he seems to have forgotten how to write screenplays that aren't completely contrived and convoluted at every stage.

[@js100serch]

Derek Wilkinson I'm totally totally agree with you dude. You've said it all. Yea black holes are deadly those things would crush every atom of your body BUT!! the graphics are really acurated that was the most realistic black hole ever portrayed in a movie.

[@94Newbie]

the physics in the movie is bullshit. not time dialation in generell, but do you know how fast you would have to travel, or how deep inside a gravity well you would have to be for time to go as slow as on the planet in the movie? there is no way they could ever get out of that gravity well, especially not with a single stage to orbit vehicle like they had one (where the hell did they get that thing anyway? why did they even bother with the rocket in the beginning?). there are thousands of flaws with the movie, simple orbital mechanics even. like magically falling out of orbit and then even more magically flying out of orbit, having an orbit around a planet isnt some thin line you easily cross. the black hole looked nice, same as the wormhole but thats all there is to being accurate. and lets not even get started on how bad the story and even the premise of the story is. ok so humanity is fucking up but seriously crop failure? and then you solution is to fly to space where even if you find a nice planet you would still have to grow plants in an controlled sealed of enviroment. why not build a fucking green house on earth, sealed from the outside against disease etc. people are already doing stuff like that. there is really no way that humanity as a whole will simply starve to death. aslong as the temperatures on earth arent high enough to cook us there is a way to survive thats easier than flying into a wormhole to colonize some unknown planet. if humanity expands into space then its not because of food. its for other ressources (like rare metals and helium3), and because we choose to do it not because we would starve otherwise.

[@robertjones3443]

94Newbie finally someone who gets it. They had advanced AI (that they used for making jokes) but couldn't build greenhouses. what about the 9/10 IMDB rating for this bullshit movie? I have difficulty explaining this other than a lot of people are easily impressed by wormholes and blackholes and dimensions and think it's clever

[@Gala-yp8nx]

Robert Jones The whole thing about everyone suffocating on earth was that there was a blight that was killing off all the oxygen producing plant life on earth. I think the problem a lot of people had with understanding Interstellar (discounting plot holes) was that every single little detail mattered to the story.

[@tresjohns8444]

what blows my mind is that in the same breath these guys can rip apart interstellar then want more fast and furious......

*I don't understand* how anyone can say this film *SUCKS!* It was a masterpiece. A brilliant film from start to finish. So good i need to watch it again.

[@Skitz0frenix]

I can understand why if someones brain can't handle all the information and smart dialogue Nolan is throwing at people in his films, which makes it difficult for people to follow the movie... I haven't come across a single Nolan movie I disliked, I love how he can mess up our minds with the stories he portrays in his films. That being said Interstellar is probably his best movie *IN MY OPINION!*

[@TheRealJYPark14]

Kid Kula Inception was beyond better

[@SerenGetter]

I also agree Interstellar is definately flawed, but its far from sucking. It's a good movie, but anyone outright calling it a masterpiece seems outright biased towards Nolan

[@Lostzilla847]

Shut up

[@viktoreriksson8782]

Kid Kula There wasn't that much information to handle really. If you look beyond all the visuals, the story and the characterization is pretty weak.

"Can we not have a 10-minute long docking sequence in space movies?" Fuck off. That scene was one of, if not the best scene in the entire movie.

[@travegbert3447]

[@ankurama42]

I hate to sound like a broken record but these guys didn't understand the fucking movie. The daughter was supposed to be the genius who saved everything. It wasn't a co-incidence, it was destined. And this movie made more sense than the whole humanity combined. Of course, this movie is not perfect and has some pacing issues( because you can't fit everything in a 3 hour movie). But these guys are straight up jack-asses and like to simplify everything. You guys just lost credibility and respect from me.

[@ankitsharma-bn2ey]

You just don't know what you are talking about. Do you? The soundtrack was terrible and nothing made sense. This movie sucked ass. Admit it.

[@ankurama42]

You gotta be specific about the film so that i can be able to tear you apart. The soundtrack was reasonable. Don't blame the film if your theatre was terrible.

[@ankitsharma-bn2ey]

What about the 'falling into black hole'? That made sense? Grow up.

[@ankurama42]

[@capenati]

Whoever says Interstellar sucks has no knowledge of film making and should just stick watching to Transformers and comic movies. Do I think Interstellar is a masterpiece? No, it had a few ambitions that it could never fully resolve, but the cinematography, plot, acting, direction, and general pacing were fantastic. A solid 9/10 for me.

[@clancywiggum56]

Money thinks avengers is a masterpiece. It's safe to say he doesn't have a clue about movie quality

[@jackragnarok8141]

The music and the sound in general sucked. The story was a cliche. The emotional bond between father and daughter was none existent. Whoever say Interstellar didn't suck, knows nothing about audio production or emotional story telling. And is just defending Nolan because he is Nolan. 2/10.

[@R3DSH1FT196]

Dogpool Only if you think that a film has to be an artistic masterpiece to have quality. I hate it how people think action movies that are fun to watch are somehow invalid as being good movies.

[@dolamitic]

The acting was good but was not central to the movie. As someone who understood all the physics and mathematical plot holes, I would commend them on the accuracy and explanation on a lot of these. The cinematography in a lot of areas was fantastic. The dialogue was clunky in areas and the ending was very cliche.

[@capenati]

Holypikemanz LOL what? your comment made me laugh so hard

[@PR0T0Blues]

I really dont understand what these guys had against interstellar. I mean comparing him to shamalan is ridiculous. This had trademarks that all scifis have which is not a bad thing. But It is very emotionally griping which many scifis lack. The actors gave a very gripping preformance. They spent like 40 minutes building the relationship between mconohay and his daughter how much more develpement did it need. And the sound track: I freaking loved it. It was powerful and fit the film so well.

[@PR0T0Blues]

When he was like "it is the most convenient movie...": he clearly did not pay attention to the plot. mcconaughey clearly LED himself to nasa and he chose his daughter becasue she was smart.  also cmaparing a nolan movie to armageddon is... not a great comparison

[@PR0T0Blues]

also that summary of the movie by the red headed guys was such a biased blow. you can make any movie sound ridiculous with a crazy summary especially a 3 hour movie

[@chanceneck8072]

Yeah, this movie really grew on me. Yet Spencer was completely right about the score and the sound mix. The sound mix REALLY sucked in this movie, sometimes you can't even hear anything what the characters say...

[@Achilles-hh2yh]

its because alot of these guys are snobs.

[@johnhasaguitar]

What is that large man talking about? "It the most convenient movie I have ever seen" "What if he hadn't found Nasa? What if his daughter wasn't a super genius?" This logic makes no fucking sense. You could say that kind of stuff about any movie. "What if Luke had crashed his ship instead of shooting the target in the Death Star?" "What if Spock fell off a cliff while he was in Starfleet Academy?" "What if Mary Poppins got knocked up, and was therefore too busy to be a nanny to some other kids?"

[@kewltony]

Cooper flying into a black hole was not the plan. If you want to make a coherent analogy, the Star Wars plot would have depended entirely on Luke Skywalker crashing his ship (contrary to the plan) and in doing so, he sends the coordinates to the rebel base back to himself, and the plans to the death star back to his daughter. And then he reappears in his home solar system close enough to a star base that wasn't there before, just in time to be rescued before he runs out of air.

[@johnhasaguitar]

Point taken. Even if he hadn't sent the coordinates to himself, I wouldn't call this "too convenient." Usually one goes to see a movie because it's an unusual story. Every time a gunman misses the protagnist's face in a movie. "OMG SO CONVENIENT"

[@michaelhall5870]

kewltony Time DID NOT exist in the black hole! If you didn't know that then that explains why you didn't like the movie. So he could have stayed there forever, but he was found by humans in the future

[@kewltony]

Michael Hall A) He is still experiencing time, he is still breathing air, his neurons are still firing. The chemical reactions that sustain his body are still in progress. The time dilation relative to earth is unknown. B) None of this has anything to with what I said.

[@kewltony]

johnhasaguitar {{ Every time a gunman misses the protagnist's face in a movie. "OMG SO CONVENIENT" }} No, again you are saying the exact opposite thing that would complete the analogy. An analogous situation would have the protagonist, despite his best efforts, getting struck by a gunman's bullet but it happens in such a way that it transports him to another dimension where he can send a message back to his daughter that will save her, but also a message back to himself that will put him in the exact location to get hit by that bullet. And then he emerges from the dimension to be saved just before he died and OMGDRAMA while his daughter still has a few drops left in the tank.

[@MrAkashvj96]

"Nolan doesn't like explaining things". WOW. I never thought I'd hear that.

[@jasonbrown4526]

Actually, in Nolan's newer movies, he LOVES explaining things. If you are talking about the earlier Nolan, then I might agree that he doesn't like explaining things. But, nowadays he practically browbeats you with things in his movies. The first half of Inception is one huge exposition sequence. I mean, seriously. The characters are literally telling you how everything works. They might as well look directly at the camera and just explain what a dream is.

[@MrAkashvj96]

Jason Brown I was being incredibly sarcastic. Nolan's movies (Inception, TDKR and Interstellar in particular) are exposition parties. Interstellar is an absolute mess.

[@halokosovo1]

Nameless Paladin nah! I like the movie, I think that MOST of the plot was explained properly and the connection between the 2 storylines (the space odyssey and the father/daughter relationship) is done well. Matt Damon's performance isn't his worse considered his character's mental state is pretty fucked after being left alone for a long time. Ofcourse since the movie is quite ambitious trying to explain their understanding about space, time, gravity in ONE movie is quite impossible but I think Nolan did a decent job (some parts are quite disconnected from each other but it didn't take away the experience). It's not a perfect piece but it's definitely not a mess

[@CptReynoldsStuntDble]

Lee Mcqueen Nope not trolling at all. Interstellar has huge problems most people simply ignore. There are good parts: actually showing the problems of Physics when it comes to traveling in space, visuals, and some performances were great. The bad far outnumbers the good though: 2 bad performances for every 1 good performance, the score sounded like the orchestra fell asleep at their instruments, the entire 3rd act, Coop refusing to look at or speak to any of his descendants after talking to Murph for 3 minutes, and finally the horribly shoehorned implications of love between Anne Hathaway and Matthew McConaughey. I could go on but this comment is too long as it is.

There is also a scientific part in it which makes you realize how "undeveloped" we are, for the time being. Nolan is a genius, not only he made a brilliant film but also that screenplay was fantastic you really have to be smart to come up with something like this.

[@lukes_1675]

Interstellar was a great movie, in fact likely my favorite of all time, but in this Movie Fights episode, nobody knew what the real plot was. "Love" never had any power. Throughout the movie, the real point was that love is a habit that binds humans. It was a predictable program, not a mystical force. Also, every single bit of the science is pretty accurate to an admirable point. These points both culminate in the ending. The ending wasn't about the power of love saving humanity, it was about how Coop had always just been the decoding agent for a civilization living in a higher dimensional plane, and that regardless of what may happen, people don't let go of love. It's a human pattern that makes us what we are.

The fact that Gravity got a higher rating than Interstellar bugs me to no end. I liked both movies, but Interstellar was far superior in the storytelling, the music, and even the visuals. The ending of Interstellar was a bit weak but it still hit a high note. Yes even I was rolling my eyes at the Matt Damon part, if there's anything I'll critique the movie about it's everything involving Matt Damon. Other than that I feel like it was one of the best movies I've ever seen in Theaters. The wormhole visuals were mindblowing, feeling my clothes shake from the loud take off was amazing, the time dilation was done perfectly. If you like superhero movies but didn't like Interstellar you're the reason why the movie industry sticks to the same old formula over and over.

Don't care what anyone says, they are some of my favorite films ever, along with the original Star Wars films and the LOTR trilogy. And I'm sure people will call me dumb or an idiot or whatever but its my opinion and I can't wait for the final Hobbit film and Star Wars Episode 7. Heck one of my favorite trilogies is the original Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. Thats just my opinion. There are probably very few people who agree with me as those are extremely unpopular opinions. And now fanboys and haters will flood this comment in 3...2...1...

I hate haters. It is like they can't comprehend that out of 7 billion people in the world, we don't all have the same tastes in movies. It is as if there opinion is the only true and valid opinion and everybody else is wrong. I hated the Pirates movies, but I certainly wouldn't look down on you for liking them. I love all four Indian Jones movies, but according to some kind of "fandom law" that means I am not a "true" fan of Indiana Jones. I love all the Star Wars films too, but if you love the Star Wars movies that the "true" fans hate, then you are not a fan (even though you just said you enjoy more Star Wars films than they do). I'm a massive Star Trek fan too, but since I love Star Wars equally, and the two fanbases seem incapable of coexisting - I'm confused, do I exist?

[@ZantofDarkness]

kolaxanthe I know right and I respect your opinion for not liking the Pirates films and although I love the original 3 indy films I wasn't a big fan of the 4th. And yeah this whole Star Trek, Star Wars thing is stupid, same for DC vs Marvel, PS vs Xbox and heck even the Sega vs Nintendo war was dumb. I wish people could look at positives more than negatise everything (I dont think negatise is a word but oh well IT IS NOW! xD). I prefer being positive about things rather than negative as talking about bad things just ends up making me think badly on something and not recognise the good things which makes the world seem all that more dim. I like saying what could have been improved but I hate it when someone says that something straight out SUCKS (god I hate that word) or that is was shit or crap. People are entitled to opinions, but there is a different between something that you don't like and something that actually sucks. Honestly very few things actually do suck when you think about it. Even the transformers films have fans who love them and if they do, fair enough, i'm not gonna stop them loving them. I don't like them and they have loads of problems to me, but I don't think they SUCK (again, I hate that word). So saying that one thing is definitively bad is really one minded and its very simple to just categorize one thing as good as one thing as bad. I usually am, I guess more forgiving or positive to movies and games, but I have movies and games I don't like that everyone loves too, like Iron Man 1, Zelda Majoras Mask or Hunger Games (the first one). So yeah everything is opinion and I hope (but highly doubt) that some day peoples opinions can all be respected and politely discussed rather than being crapped all over and cause things as large as fanboy wars and death threats because of disagreeing. But thats humanity for ya. *sigh* I'm glad you are one of those respectable people. :) Sorry for the longass comment xD

Anyone who thinks they're smart because they "get" Christopher Nolan's movies should watch something by Andrei Tarkovsky, Ingmar Bergman or Jean-Luc Godard. I like Christopher Nolan but I'm sick of people acting like they're intellectuals because they watched "Inception" twenty times.

Skeletor Jopko It isn't very difficult to figure out 'Memento'. It is still my favorite Nolan movie but I agree that Tarkovsky, Bergman, and directors like Paul Thomas Anderson get overlooked. There are a lot of great foreign directors out there like Wong Kar Wai, Park Chan Wook, Lars Von Trier, Steve McQueen who also make very complex films.

Interstellar is a defining movie for Christopher Nolan. A masterpiece that will stand the test of time. And those who did not like it are likely just not very bright and are not able to keep track of the film and how time dilation and black holes really work. And what the hell was it with bashing Hans Zimmer? That man is a genius composer and I have not heard a single score of his that wasn't great. Interstellar, Inception and the Dark Knight are three movies among others that make Christopher Nolan the best there is today.

longhorns13192 wormholes are a real possibility and are obviously one of the more extreme physics present in the film. I know the concepts partially at least and understood the movie. But no one on this planet can say they know all there is about wormholes. If they do, they are lying to you.

[@Laf92]

Harvir Dhindsa the exposition in the first 40 minutes of the film was clunky. The justification for the ending with the watch was nonsensical. But despite that I did not think the ending was bad, i thought the movie did earn that "sappy" black hole discovery because it set it up well in the beginning (that ghost stuff with Murphy). It was a great sci-fi adventure movie that provoked a lot of emotions and thought so I have little to complain about it

[@Miss_Murph]

Something I've noticed is that the majority of people who hate the movie didn't exactly pay bloody attention. Something I've heard a lot is "how does copper just conveniently end up near Saturn?" And that is one of the stupidest fucking questions about this movie. He goes through the wormhole, that's why he ends up at Saturn! Not only that, but fat guy (sorry, don't know his name) was asking how cooper got to the NASA place. Again, stupid fucking question. Cooper had gotten the co-ordinates from TARS and had it converted to Binary to tell himself how to get there. People need to pay more attention before bashing on amazing films. :/

[@kewltony]

Except the black hole and worm hole are not the same.

[@josend]

kewltony After the tessarract collapses, he goes through the wormhole.

[@kewltony]

It was a good thing he mastered faster than light travel to escape the pull of the black hole and navigated toward the worm hole before his oxygen ran out.

[@josend]

he didnt, but maybe the ones who build the tessaract did

[@kewltony]

they build a tesserract connected to a girl's bedroom in the middle of a black hole, with a faster than light ejector seat, on the off chance that her father will fall into the black hole and convince himself to fly to the black hole... because they couldn't master morse code

[@samhynninen]

I'm not a "Nolan fanboy" whatever that means, but Interstellar was one of the most entertaining and best directed movies I've ever seen. The ending was so emotional and great.

[@HughWalenski]

Did anybody like me just think it was pretty ok? I mean, it was too long, and had some silly 'power of love' plot points, but it was fun and creative. How is every movie the worst thing ever, or a masterpiece? Why is every reaction either hatred or worship?

[@jamesclayton7846]

i thought that, its an okay movie lots of creative visuals cool setpieces etc. but when you start combining love and emotion with scientific plot points such as time travel and black holes. it just becomes too far-fetched. So yeah like spencer said its an ok normal movie but not a good nolan movie

[@rickylongo2808]

People keep calling Matt Damon a straight villain but he wasn't! He still wanted to help humanity! I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY EVERYONE KEEPS CALLING HIM EVIL. He was just selfish and a coward, that doesn't make you evil. He wanted to be picked up so he can go to the other planet with the other team.

[@rickylongo2808]

Also people keep talking about things that don't make sense, when a lot of the movie is saying there is so much out there that we can't even comprehend..like love.

[@bradyjohnson383]

He was the human Hal, I mean he wasn't evil he did what he thought was right like Hal.

[@rickylongo2808]

Brady Johnson Pretty much, except the whole giving them false information. But that was just because he was selfish and a coward, but he still wanted to save humanity. He wouldn't have tried killing McConaughey if he didn't try going home.

[@Fletchersfletch]

Ricky Longo very true. Imo the movie was amazing. My only complaint would be the slow beginning, but they did talk about the moon landing :) *SPOILERS* The people I went to see it with all disliked the 5th dimensions moment, but I liked it. I'm not a fan of superhero movies or anything exaggerated and I think it was a cool idea. We act like we knew everything, but theirs so much humans dont understand. The fact that the aliens were advanced humans was pretty cool too. My brother said it ripped off 2001, but I disagree. And will people let The Dark Knight go already. Yes a good movie, but lol better then this? No!!

[@rickylongo2808]

The Shamal Casino I thought it was amazing too! And I can see where the 2001 comparisons come from but in no way is it a rip off of it. To me what I took out of it the most was that there are so many things that humans right now can't even comprehend and that's why they don't directly explain every little thing.

[@travis_redfern6771]

Was I the only person in the world that loved all three Hobbit movies? I don't wanna be a troll...but I like them more that the actual Lord of the Rings trilogy slightly. I love them both, but the Hobbit is such a fun trilogy to me, In the same way Star Wars is great for being fun. I'm being completely serious.

[@KimberlyPerrye]

Re: Interstellar - the genius of the film is that the "sappy love story" & the "ghost element" that you guys hated so much is the very first film representation of a complex scientific theorem, 5D "Bulk Beings" interacting with our 3D "brane". The difficulties inherent in translating those concepts mathematically are daunting enough and to be able to put them onscreen, making them pivotal to the theme and plot, is beyond commendable; it is extraordinary. Yes, the "love story" and the "ghost in the bookshelf" seem out of place and perhaps a bit corny or simplistic in a Sci-Fi 'space film' at first glance, yet when you realize that Christopher Nolan is actually giving a doctorate-level physics lesson to the entire world through his storytelling, we should be in awe of his gifts. There is a reason that so few every achieve the level of education and understanding requisite to study 5D Bulk, 3D brane, theoretical gravity, and the physics of black holes, and despite these barriers Nolan created a vehicle in Interstellar that allows even children to grasp these concepts and for that, we should give him the credit he is due.

[@johnhasaguitar]

Kimberly Perrye Fuck yes. Thank you! No one even attempts to address subjects such as these in a Hollywood film. Is it perfect? No. But a couple of tiny flaws don't negate the fact this is one of the most ambitious and brilliant movies of all time. I'm glad he didn't pander to the lowest common denominator. How any intelligent even quasi-scientifically minded person (or at least one who can appreciate raising the bar for intelligent concepts in a film) can brush off this film boggles my mind. This film actually gives me hope for the future, for raising the intellectual bar when it comes to entertainment, and reigniting the spark in some for science. I saw this for the first time in STL, and was impressed I later went on to see it at the largest imax in the country in NYC in 70mm film. If you haven't seen the 70mm version, please find a location that it showing it before it disappears. You won't have another opportunity to see it in 70mm in the future.

[@KimberlyPerrye]

johnhasaguitar LoL, I'm glad my post was appreciated. To be frank, this film ought to be part of the curriculum for Intro To Physics/Astrophysics in college. A singular achievement for Nolan et al.

[@johnhasaguitar]

or even better, at the highschool level. Generate interest in the field before reaching college.

[@KimberlyPerrye]

johnhasaguitar Agreed. It would be a refreshing change & a needed step forward.

[@alprudhomme1]

I really appreciate your comment on the film Kimberly. I couldn't agree more. I don't think I've ever seen such a successful blend of art and science in cinema before, and it has to be celebrated. The film may actually inspire future researchers to be interested in those questions and keep making important discoveries.

[@1krani]

Best Trilogy is Toy Story or Back to the Future: the two trilogies with no bad movies in them. And by "bad" I mean "you can't argue enough points to effectively convince an unbiased viewer as to why they're bad". You can do this with Dark Knight Rises, Temple of Doom, Return of the Jedi (for me it's A New Hope, but that's just me), Return of the King, Godfather III, Spider-Man III, X-Men The Last Stand, etc. Back to the Future and Toy Story do not have any weak movies in them. Each movie in the trilogies are strong and works both on their own and as part of the trilogy.

[@cornking6]

Lmao, i stopped reading the moment you tried to compare a masterpiece like Return of the King with dogshit like Spiderman 3.

[@myd64]

Please watch Park Chan-Wooks Vengeance trilogy. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. All three are epic masterpieces.

[@1krani]

Oliver Bensusan The point is that Return of the King has enough fails to its name so that you could ARGUE that it's a bad movie. I personally think its okay, aside from being WAY too long.

[@1krani]

myd64 Perhaps. I'll check it out, but if its one of those movie series that tries to be artsy over telling a good story with good characters, I probably won't like it.

[@TheLukyso]

1krani Sure.. you compare complete shit movies, with the movie that won the most Oscars and Fans?.. Your opinion is irrelevent. And Toy Story is a movie for children, you can't even nominate a children movie for a Best Trilogy.. Back to the Future was awesome! But as a Trilogy. LOTR is the best or StarWars.

[@thatgermandude6076]

The reason why Interstellar gets so much hate is because of the last 20 minutes and how weird it was. But that's the point that Nolan tried to get across. No one knows what happens when you go into black holes or wormholes (which do exist). His interpretation might seem silly but it's just as silly as anyone else's theory, because no one knows what really happens. Plus it's a science fiction movie.

[@gustavusthoren7112]

Halleluja! Exactly.

[@jameslisle7775]

Great point. And a great one over the cukoos nest profile picture.

[@IamE0N]

Except people do know what happens when you enter a black hole (as much as we know they exist). The event horizon doesn't turn into a magic library.

[@CptReynoldsStuntDble]

This is wrong. We know exactly what happens to things as they approach a black hole, "spaghettiffication" look it up.

[@KallenW]

@@CptReynoldsStuntDble after reading Kip Thorne's book on the black hole, he said that originally he would've not allowed Cooper to live when he entered the singularity, due to "spaghettification" but he said there were the existence of gentle singularities in which Cooper may have been able to survive entering. Also, according to Thorne, he never actually entered the singularity, cus the tesseract was placed just under the surface of the singularity, so copper fell into the tesseract, and then was transported to Murph's bedroom through the bulk (the higher dimensions that's theorised by superstring theory) where he was able to interact with her. It is super speculative tbh, but it's not like completely forbid by the laws of relativity.

[@aidanmcmanus7478]

INTERSTELLAR was an amazing film!!

[@TomBombadil89]

According to Neil DeGrasse Tyson, the movie was 90% true science, which is really good for a movie. I thought it was awesome, personally. Even the tesseract at the end was based on something that works mathematically. Granted, artistic license was taken a few times, but that's okay, it's a movie.

[@keenanmcxarty5641]

Spoilers: This movie completely passes the logic test (on the assumption of the existence of 5th dimensional beings) Once you fll into a black hole space becomes irrelevant and time becomes free. Humans ascending to infinity is the core of what makes this film so powerful. Humans are destined for greatness, and love is the most important aspect of human life. If that's not inspirational, I don't know what is. Yes, the acting was a little flat from Damon and Hathaway, but the character moments were extremely powerful and the message was almost mind expanding. The score drove home the emotional impact of space, and the effects were possibly the best in film history. I cried probably half a dozen times during this movie, so saying Nolan doesn't understand emotion or isn't logical is silly. 10/10 one of the best films of all time Please debate (I wasn't satisfied with the defense given to the film in the fight above)

[@ThatGuy-jd3kj]

I don't you can say this movie sucked and give a valid reason why. You could tell Nolan tried his best to make a fascinating story about mankinds destiny as well as incorporating space and time. I think over time this movie will be considered one of the greatest sci fi movies ever made.

[@keenanmcxarty5641]

Tony Montana Agreed

[@fromia1]

This movie has a lot of conveniences, such as the wormhole magically appearing near Saturn and other stuff, just a simple example. And to make a "scientific movie", there sure are things that are forced, such as the love factor somehow making time travel a possibility. Just how powerful can love be? It just made stuff look too convenient, somehow he just solved the biggest formula to save mankind out of love?

[@keenanmcxarty5641]

fromia1 They explain that humans evolve into 5-th dimensional beings and create the wormhole to save themselves from extinction. Also, due to relativity once you enter a black hole time expands to infinity, meaning that you can freely travel through time. By using the 5-th dimensional humans as a device to allow Macconahey to manipulate space-time (and thus warp gravity, they are pretty much one in the same) In short, the movie asks you to take one thing on faith: 5-th dimensional humans. The rest functions perfectly. It wasn't "power of love" that allowed Macconahey to time travel, It was how 5-th dementional beings could sympithis with Macconahey. The theme isn't that love can violate physics, it's that love still affects beings that have evolved beyond the situation where love even matters anymore.

[@anastasiab3001]

Keenan McXarty , wow dude, congratulations! You've solved the holy grail and the biggest mysteries of our time!

[@chasegluch2735]

Oh, also... Hans Zimmer is a genius. Ridiculous.

[@MorroWolf]

Wow you guys really took the piss out of interstellar, you were blowing small flaws in the movie that you could literally do for just about any film. The story was powerful, the setup was necessary to put the main conflict of the movie in place and make it personal for the main character. Coop leaving was painful on the one hand because he is a single father he lost his wife all he has are his kids, his daughter and son both look up to him. On the other hand his talents are being wasted being a farmer he had dreams of going into space that now have the potential to be realized he feels a little guilty over his excitement of this dream being reborn and he knows its just a matter of time before the corn dies and humanity ends. His daughter represents his intellectual nature and greatest aspirations, his son represents a person who resigned to heading towards ruin, he is solid and stoic and capable but doesnt expect to survive. This is also why his daughter and son become estranged he reminds her of how her father was before he left. The diacritical opposition of the children highlights the duality of Coops character and reiterate the theme of parents being the ghosts of their childrens future. All the space stuff is actually very well researched gravity manipulates time, the way the astronaughts sleep is actually based of some very new research about inducing theraputic hypothermia coming out of NASA just recently. The only real creative leap was what happens inside a black whole which is impossible to know because the black whole has so much gravity nothing can escape it. This idea of inter dimensional time/gravity manipulation by future humans while seemingly convenient to the plot is actually coherent with the intuitive leaps Nolan takes based on modern understandings of astrophysics. The only real problem the plot has is the one you always have with time travel which is the whole infinite loop of going to the past to do something so that circumstances eventually allow you to go into the past so on. Humans eventually make it to the place where they can move to a higher dimensional plain outside of time and there for can do all kinds of wizardry but to quote Arthur C. Clark "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." The ambition of this movie seems to just be lost on people who dont have contemporary understanding of the universe which is something Nolan was interested in exploring in this film. He does a lot of research and folds that into the movie and it was successful in inception and its successful in interstellar, a lot of people didnt like inception either because of its discussion of advanced philosophical concepts and neurology went right over peoples heads. The main characters were well thought out, matt damon aside everyone did a pretty good job, I really hated matt damon in the movie but he kind of nailed the pandorum character, he wasnt pleasant to watch as the rest of the movie was but that doesnt necessarily mean he didnt do the job he was supposed to do. I'm not sure what prevented you guys from connecting with Coop and the conflict he felt with leaving his children behind which became increasingly more painful as he realized he missed out on their entire lives and would never make it back to them but this was well represented on screen. I especially loved the relationship developing between Coop and Tars who was amazing comic relief. The whole movie worked the only problem I had with it was how basic the planets were, theres a lot of cool things we've observed just in our own solar system like the metal snow on venus or 200 mile high geysers on europa that shoot water into space or the thick atmosphere on titan that could literally allow you to double jump. However its possible going to fantastical with the planets would take away from the central aspects of the movie which is ultimately human.

[@matiiijas]

Yeah... so it seems that there are plenty of people who understand the movie much better than all those screen junkies guys... I'm not surprised that this movie doesn't impress those who love simple and not science based plots but instead of talking bed things about the movie they shoud ask somebody to explain it to them.

[@UnderearthEDO]

With you basically 100%. Too many people think certain areas are loopholes and the such when they are in fact very well researched. Also the whole idea behind Matt Damon was to show what happens to people when they are isolated for so long (i.e. the "best" of mankind becoming a selfish bastard). This is all to demonstrate the pointlessness of the movies "plan b" which is always talked about as a necessary evil for humanity to survive. With Anne Hathaway at the end we see her at the very first stages of becoming the new Matt Damon and how hopeless it all is. Interstellar is in my top 3 movies this year. Truly brilliant but understandably not for everyone.

[@Novasx2216]

Its todays culture, if something goes mainstream there are always a small amount of people that automatically go against it not because its bad but because its hyped and mainstream, sadly these people are the loudest on the internet. annoying fucks

[@MorroWolf]

People just dont know how to judge quality, im not such a huge movie buff that I get everything going on technique wise and how it is working vs how its intended or should be working but I think this is a fine piece of film though I wont go to bat for it as hard as I would for some other types of media. To quote(roughly) David Hume, statements of sentiment are not sufficient to make pronouncements of truth. Stupid people think opinions in themselves are something to value, they have to be vetted first.

[@vkojouharov]

I'm so saddened that they think the movie didn't make sense. Ignoring the ending where Cooper 'traditionally' should have been ripped apart by tidal forces (though the actual ending could work, we don't know), everything else was dumbed down very little, yet still presented great. The whole presentation on time dilation (the core of the story itself) was great and very consistent.

[@houston-coley]

Here's a question for next week: What movie franchise (or franchises) will be the classics of this generation?

[@LoveyInTheSky]

Avengers seems to be the "thing". Although 90% of my generation who claim they love the avengers and buy stupid $5 "retro" Avengers shirts at Wal-Mart don't know *anything* about the original Avengers. The movie wasn't bad, I'm just one of those easily annoyed fans I guess. I will admit I can't help being butt-hurt when people claim to love something they have no background knowledge of. They're basically judging the Avengers by the cover, and not diving down into any real information beyond what's on the screen. This turned into a rant... but that's is a good topic they should expand upon.

[@TheControversialToon]

houstonproductions1 The Dark Knight franchise is already a modern classic. The Dark Knight is constantly rated among the best films ever, Begins has been extremely influential in modern cinema and Rises is kind of like The Godfather Part III. Decent film but just memorable for being in a trilogy. Marvel's Cinematic Universe is set to become the next Star Wars. It's more than decent (some movies are superior, like GotG and Avengers). I seriously doubt DC will do as well. Harry Potter is probably also a big contender!

[@MrDman21]

TheControversialToon I think DC has all the pieces in the right place. the main reason why the DARK KNIGHT was such a hit is becuz Batman is a character that works with the Dark and gritty tone. Superman is not a character that can be dark and gritty. Hence why Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy is seemingly the BEST thing DC has, Man of Steel was NOT a great Superman movie. Marvel has the characters more people can relate too but even the MCU has it's flaws. I'm hoping DC comes out guns blazing with DAWN OF JUSTICE. I'm not a Marvel or DC fanboy, I like ALL comics and comic based films as well as thought provoking films like INTERSTELLAR. My only gripe is the 3 hour long running time. I like Nolan's films but I would never call myself a Nolanite. He has flaws just like everybody else and shouldn't be put on a pedestal becuz he makes movies. There are a lot of other people who make films that are just as good but no one person should be praised over others just becuz they have an imagination. At the end of the day he's just a human being like the rest of us and not a GOD!

[@TheBuddsO]

I was so thankful for this episode. Any time people find out I hated Interstellar they immediately yell and argue with me about how its such a masterpiece or whatever. It was a bad movie. Its not the worst movie I've seen by any means but it was bad, and this episode was the first time I've heard other people defending that opinion (and making many of the same points I make when arguing with other people). Thank you Screen Junkies for making me feel like I'm not insane for hating this movie.

[@TheBuddsO]

Stalysfa I'm allowed to say its a bad movie. Thats my opinion of it. In my eyes its a bad movie. You can disagree and say its a good movie, but I'm allowed to have my own opinion on whether I think its good or not. And I never said anything about the love communication thing, I actually thought that part of the movie was a nice sentiment. But I don't think you should argue its not meant to be correct about our understanding of the universe, because that was the whole point of the movie. They wanted to make the most scientifically accurate space movie and they found the facts first and made a plot around it. I commend them for making it scientifically accurate, but to me it caused the plot and characters to be weak.

[@tritone11]

[@PaddyCollector]

1, title is ok and makes sense since supposedly to justify the extreme difference in special effects/ power of the jedis in the original movies versus the prequels the people using the force were weaker than those in the past. hence the force awakens makes sense since the new jedis (luke and leia) don't know much about the force or how to use it. 2 interstellar was good just admit and stop being hipsters. 3. best director is probably david fincher but best filmmaker would be christopher nolan since he isn't just a director he writes the movies as well. unless you want to a totally different criteria like say best as in most profitable then it would be michael bay. 4. best trilogy is lord of the rings because it is just like one long movie most cohesive and they need one another to work. but best 3 individual movies would probably be back to the future or star wars. 5.fast and furious? who cares they are fun summer popcorn movies. 6. no, andy serkis is not that good. gollum is arguable but you can't really give him an oscar retroactively now can you. 7. no, even toy story 2 was totally unnecessary. all those movies are basically the same, in fact ALL pixar movies are basically the same. old thing dying off and getting replaced by the new. wall e did it, incredibles did it, cars did it, toy story did it, up did it. they are all same exact thing thematically. make a toy story tv show but no more movies. a tv show makes a ton more sense. 8. disney owns everything now so everything is basically disney anyway.

The Star Wars movies are based on Jidaigeki films (Japanese period dramas, often about the noble class of the samurai...

If you have never heard about Kurosawa, well you have got to catch up with quite something.

Okay...so cowboys vs. aliens sucked....apollo 18...star wars prequels...but I wouldn't put Interstellar that low hahaha. At least it explored difficult subjects and challenged you to think a bit. It had short comings but I wouldn't say it sucked

[@imaverix2053]

Some people go watch a film wanting it to be bad, and come out with comments like this.

[@Eazyrun]

And still, I was at the edge of my seat, not caring who directed this movie at any point! It took things we know about physics and put some fiction in it without being unlogical (only the love thing and the space station saving scene were not my case. And Cooper not being blown to bits by the black hole, but his ship). The dialogues were for the most part senseful and well thought. Something, I missed in today's blockbuster movies and I'm absolutely not used to, anymore. The movie seemed to have a too long exposition, but it just took its time and everything that happened, in plot and subplot, were connected. There was always a clear leitfaden going through the movie. I was laughing, I was crying and yes, I only cared about TARS, FASE, Cooper and Murph. The other ones literally disappeared or had no meaning to me. But I forgive the movie, because thanks to its great visuals, the science fiction, the dialogues, the emotions, the meaning of every scene, the science non-fiction and the good time it gave me in our new, overly expensive cinema! Better re-watch it. I surely will.

[@alexj1219]

Or maybe the people who said it was good were people who actually liked it... You ever think of that? Stop trying to kill peoples opinions, congrats you didn't like it... Guess what I thought gravity was boring and no character development whatsoever... So sue me

[@ViperT17]

This is pathetic guys. The least you could do is get some intelligent movie watchers around the table for this argument. In my opinion, Interstellar is, hands down, Nolan's best movie. Your problems with the movie were that -You don't understand theoretical physics. -If a director makes you infer anything you turn your brain off and call it a plot hole. You should bring the same guys back to review a movie like Birdman. They'd probably think it's terrible. Also, as for the premise: The "Power of Love" was not what brought him back; that was his motivation. Extreme gravity bending space/time is what brought him back. Despite Star Trek, the human race actually still DOESNT know what will happen if we enter a black hole and could survive it. Casey Afleck was not a "psychopath." He was an uneducated fear driven human. If we went back to a medieval era movie, we wouldn't say "Why are they going to cut that guy's leg off? All he has is a rash." NO we wouldn't! Why? Because they weren't exposed to the same education that all of you were. If you caught on at the beginning, the education system in that world is INCREDIBLY fucked. They breed uneducated, fear driven people to blindly work to preserve the human race. He was drawing parallels between the two children to emphasize the effect of Cooper not being there. These people are morons. They literally just take everything the characters say on their word. There's this concept in good movies that not all characters are spoon feeding you the plot at all times. In a good movie characters can be stupid, irrational, and lie! And many many more. Because that's how humans work, see? I didn't hear a SINGLE word about form. How about the AMAZING scene where they come back from the water planet and Cooper is watching the videos of his children losing faith in him and eventually giving up on him as they grow old? How they showed the video for about 2 seconds and then held on Cooper for the REST OF THE VIDEOS. Bold move by Nolan and the editor, but goddamn that scene was worthy of the term masterful. My point is. Get these pseudo-intellectual movie zombies out of your show. Give us someone that will show us something new about the movie. Or give us insight that we wouldn't have had otherwise. Go watch some Every Frame a Painting on youtube and find out how little you actually know about film form.

[@pleasemorefunny]

That's the best Interstellar synopsis! A movie about a girl whose dad flies into a black hole and through the power of love travels back in time to his daughters bedroom to haunt an old wristwatch so that it taps out secrets to the universe in Morse code.

[@Dajara]

so interesting to see your views on Interstellar, i absolutely loved it and maybe it was the dub version that took the edge of McCon, but i was blown away and have never seen everything like it. and i am afraid you didn't change my mind.

[@systemslave6906]

I loved "Interstellar" too. For a very long tim ethere was no movie that made me so emotional on it. It's great.

[@maniacartist9251]

I went to see it yesterday with my boyfriend, and we LOVED IT! It was everything that i expected and more!

[@yuray888]

Oh man, that was one of the best movie experiences ever for me. I walked out so happy :D

[@zookninja]

Just watched Interstellar. One of the best films of all time. Nolan is a genius. You're entitled to say it isn't good. You're also entitled to be wrong.

[@swiftyproduction]

Guys, there's no point in trying to tell people in the comments that Insterstellar is shit, its a Christopher Nolan movie, which means that all the Nolanites will defend it to death and won't bother listening to your points.

[@derekholland2001]

I have noticed that... Holy shit

[@BoilingHotCoffee]

[@aaronrivas7977]

I don't like how people think that the fact that you like a movie made by Christopher Nolan, then you are a die hard fan, and you just speak nonsense

[@RippinTent]

***** anyone who liked contact forfeits their right to have an opinion on anything for the rest of time as they have no ability to reason or even feel basic human emotions like hunger and thirst. you sir are an abomination, a scar upon the face of rationality and decency. you are the one percent of the one percent that fail to understand humanity, yet seek to control it through strange rituals the likes of which would horrify any species capable of thought. all this is incontrovertibly true and has in effect been confessed by you already. I can only conclude that your sole reason for existence is that god planned long ago to fashion a punishment for satan so severe that none could ever again question the absolute power of our lord. I only pray that when you're deep in the pit of hell, torturing the devil with your mere presence, that he can hold onto the pride that though the lord hast wrought the entirety of his vengeance upon him, that at least he, satan, is still not so despicable a being as you.

[@Londokampung]

lol Nick Mundy...that's exactly what I love about the Return of the King...they gave us the best possible ending(s) imaginable...so satisfying...not like movies these days that give you incomplete and short endings.

[@professorhobbes5262]

The Interstellar and Nolan haters are worse than the fanboys. It's like Nolan has become so big that people think it's "cool" to hate his movies now, and their greatest fear is having someone think they like his movies. That would be too mainstream after all. Everyone doesn't rave about Interstellar because they are Nolan fanboys. Everyone doesn't say they love Interstellar because they think they are smart. People love this movie because, well, news flash. It's a fantastic film. All it takes is two eyes, two ears and a brain to realize this is an amazing piece of film.

[@theskipper1011]

I can't believe nobody brought up either Wes Anderson or Edgar Wright for best modern director.

[@xheffrey]

I wouldve said either Edgar Wright or Tarantino, but Wes shouldve been in the conversation

[@racewiththefalcons1]

[@LucyPero]

I could talk about Interstellar for weeks, and for that only, despite all of its faults, I fucking love it.

[@crowrebirth]

You know, I love when filmmakers break 'rules' and fucking ace it. Christopher Nolan keeps doing it. The biggest problem with interstellar was the underdeveloped character Tom. But I actually LOVE how they did his character. Sometimes love is lost and people lose faith. I just assumed that Tom died, having been obviously at odds with Cooper (I love that they don't say his first name too, and I'm honestly not being sarcastic. Btw, his name is Joseph). Tom says "dad didn't raise me, grampa did and he's buried out back with mom and Jessie." I assumed he died before Cooper made it out of the tesseract. And I didn't mind that they didn't mention him. Despite these small "infractions," I think this movie was a masterpiece. And I think these imperfections complete its perfection. I didn't go into it with any expectations, and I was blown away. This film was very moving and I've actually found myself addicted. I'm sick of people treating movies like products. They're pieces of art. Made to escape the boundaries we know. Made to be imperfect. Everyone needs to just throw away their cares and soak it in for what it is; a touching masterpiece, if you're open to it. You HAVE to try to dislike it to dislike it. Or you have to simply have a sort of superiority complex. Making a film is, in itself, impressive. It's not easy. Writing and conceptualizing are not simple tasks. They deserve some respect and recognition.

[@QLCHerald]

Interstellar was an average movie! Full stop.

[@QLCHerald]

I don't have the defining answer to how average the movie was (and it definitely was) The movie just felt lazy to me, if it weren't for Christopher Nolan, a lot more people would realise that its average. It show in the rating of rotten tomatoes.

[@Hojotheklown]

QLCHerald Rotten tomatoes really isn't a good measure. You're entitled to your opinion though. I enjoyed it however.

[@QLCHerald]

Thanks for being reasonable!

[@TBH717]

In what way could it be average? Having seen the movie myself and having an understanding for general critical reception for the film, it really is one of "those" movies that you either love of hate. It's ambition, the scope of the story told, the grandeur and awe of the visual effects and the journey put it at such an extreme end of the spectrum that I can't see how it could fall into "average" territory such as science-fiction movies like Prometheus and Signs.

[@SavageStarlight42]

Oh my god, they are truly discussing if Deep Impact and Armageddon are better movies than Interstellar. Nolan is one of the few directors who combine action, stunning visuals and claim. He always tries to cross borders and to create something ambitious and in Interstellar he showed something the world hasn't seen before. You want to know why so many extremely dumb movies like Twilight and Transformers make a shitload of money? Guess what, it's because of people who are trying to criticise every smart and brave project out there for totally stupid and fussy reasons.

I saw Interstellar in IMAX yesterday and it was AMAZING! I was worried that I was expecting too much bc of the hype but I was still blown away! This is the best movie I have seen in quite a while. :) and I thought Mathew McConaughey was amazing and quite believable! SPOILER ALERT: I teared up when Cooper (McConaughey) was watching those recordings of the past like 20 years of his kids' messages.. And Murphy's message about her being the same age as he was when he left.. ;( That entire concept is.. breathtaking. I just really loved that movie!

[@NidorinoAlliance]

I am yet to find someone who praises Interstellar for another reason other than "It's scientifically accurate" and "The performances are good". People seem to be avoiding talking about the script written by two men with their own pretentiously poetic thumb stuck up their asses. Hmm...

wineandforgive Arguable. Much of its hype is backed by people who haven't actually seen it (or have the barest memory of anything beyond the Rosebud scene), just so they can pretend to be erudite. This doesn't mean it's not good, but it is, along with numerous other films, overrated on a regular basis.

[@Mecky3455656]

the word overrated is overrated and overused...

[@unnamednewbie13]

[@MasterGus501]

sure, this reaction is expected because those are newer (and really great) movies. Also the people you asked were probably young and not cinephiles...

[@josend]

Gus F give it time dude, take in to account that Nolan is a very young director, we ll see if he passes the test of time (which IMO he did with the Dark Knight). The problem to me is that he became some sort of a trend, so you got people who love what he does no questions asked and other people who just cherrypick everyfucking detail to to go against this new trend. I like what he does, he can be a bit pompus at times, but there is no question that he makes good quailty films. You can see passion and love for the art behind his pieces.

[@bkdmode]

How the hell can you a call yourself a movie nerd and not even mention Steven Spielberg as the greatest director? He has been nominated 7 times and won twice. He directed such greats as Jaws, Close Encounters, E.T, the Indiana Jones Trilogy, Jurassic Park, Minority Report, War of The Worlds (2005) In a more serious tone, greats he directed included, Color Purple, Empire of The Sun, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Catch Me If you Can, Munich, Lincoln. I do not even remember the name of the guy Mundy said, not sure if he was serious or not... Ridley Scott directed some classics too but he can't hold a candle to Spielberg. Ridley has been nominated 3 times compared to Steven's 7 and Ridley never won. The closest to Spielberg by active directors is Scorsese who has been nominated 8 times but won only once plus Spielberg has shown a greater range, though Scorsese is better at getting the best performances from his actors.

[@bkdmode]

Niko So Schindler's List was mindless, The Color Purple was mindless, Lincoln was mindless, Saving Private Ryan was mindless? Amistad was mindless? Let me guess, you never saw any of the movies I listed, you only saw his scifi genre movies.

[@michaelgonsalves884]

[@zerothefaceless4888]

I have no doubt about it. Interstellar is a movie that is either loved or hated. From the moment it ended i knew there will be people who will dislike it. Personally i really liked it and i know that Nolan did his best. Of course as every movie it has flaws, there were better and worse moments, but still it was great. At the same time i understand people who dislike it, and i know there are many.

[@Koinoyokan01]

I've never been so confused about how I felt about a movie in my life. Towards the end, I felt upset that he went in the direction he did, and I felt like certain things were missed throughout the whole movie, so I want to think I didn't like it. BUT, I don't think I've ever wanted to see a movie again as bad I wanted to see this one. I literally wanted to step into another theater and watch it again right away. It's inexplicable how I can criticize a movie so much, but at the same time I can't wait to see it again.

[@jasonbrown4526]

Charles Pulman Hate the ending, but the rest of the movie was pretty interesting. I would watch it again.

[@ctr1502]

As Bilbo said, "Oh no. What have we done?"

[@rocksteel9238]

salvador155 Regardless as to whether you think they're brilliant or not I think we can agree Nick Mundy saying those movies suck is way too harsh for and my definition a movie that sucks is one that is not and cannot be fun for anyone and with the Hobbit Films story telling aside it has enough good action and humor to be fun and entertaining not to mention it does have a lot of good moment as well like for instance Bilbo meets Gollum, Gandalf goes into Dul Gul Dur, and Bilbo's confrontation with Smuag. And not to mention unlike the Prequels the Hobbit films don't intorduce any lore breaking bullshit like mini clorienes.

[@rocksteel9238]

***** Yeah and the truth is though the movies may get stretched thin at times they do have some great epic momments worthy of lord of the rings like when Bilbo meets Golum, or when Bilbo meets Smaug and has to by time by talking to the dragon, or even gandalf in Dul Gu Dur.

[@ErwinSchrodinger64]

I'm no Nolan fanboy but he's made me expect more out of directors. I will admit, at first, I didn't like Interstellar because of the ending. I had serious problems with it. But I knew this movie really captivated me because I couldn't stop thinking about it-which is what a great movie is suppose to do. I even began reading books on General Relativity by Schutz and Carroll I had taken in graduate school. Being a physicist, I appreciated the amount of detail that went into making the film especially having Kip Thorne consult Nolan on the film. If that isn't taking science fiction serious, I don't know what is. I kept asking myself does the ending really justify given the film a bad mark because my initial score out of the movie was just a 3 (out of 10). I finally realized that it wasn't the ending I had a problem with, it's the expectation I had of the movie. Christopher Nolan signature is about making dark films with a sense of realism. But the ending was taking it too far. Then it all of sudden it hit me, it's a science fiction movie above all else. It was only then that I saw the movie through the correct lenses. I immediately understood the entire premise of the story and the movie moved up in scale to a 10. The only factor, personally, I didn't like where the comments about love transcending space and time. Other than that it delivered. Yes, I already pre-ordered the Blu-Ray.

[@nori9686]

How can you don't even talk about Fincher? Nolan is very competent, BUT is it even necessary a debate to decide if Nolan has ever made something superior to Gone Girl or Seven? TDK is an amazing movie with an unforgettable performance by Heath Ledger, unequal to any other superhero movie; Inception was original and entertaining for the masses, but c'mon, you know Fincher is way better! His movies have no flaws! And since when is "number of people who are pulled in into a theater" a criteria for better directing?? If it is then you should have chosen the ridiculous Michael Bay! (no need to comment the english, I already know it needs work)

It's funny how Nolaners try to look down on people who don't like his movies. His movies are fun, but they DO HAVE tons of plot holes. Deal with it.

[@svallee]

You realize there's as many people who disliked Interstellar going out of their ways to look down on people who loved the movie, right? It's a two way mud fight. Personally, I don 't care much for most of Nolan's movies, so I was relatively surprised to love Interstellar as much as I did.

[@gdbaradit]

blahblahblah Proly, but there's this annoying tendency of some people who think Nolan movies are so deep, profound, and complex, and by not liking them you get a condescending "you just don't have the brain for them" . And that really piss me off. I really enjoy Nolan's movies, but I think he is not a perfectionist at all.

[@XxBatmanCrusaderxX]

Tons? Name them.

[@fuckwebrat]

back to transformers bro pls

[@rkrokberg]

Giorgio Baradit I understand what you mean, but when people point out flaws that aren't flaws at all and bash the movie because of their own stupidity, let them be educated. I don't think nearly everyone who disliked Interstellar did so because "they didn't get it", but there's many who did it for that reason, and it's bloody annoying when people act like they know better than actual science.

[@geno5299]

I think for those people that didn't like Interstellar where over thinking too much when watching the movie instead of just going with the flow on Nolan's perspective on the film. Watch the movie again folks. Maybe it will make more sense the second time around. It usually does. As for me, this movie made sense. I think Nolan did a lot of research on the subjects in this movie and tried his best to explain it as scientifically easy as possible to the audience so they won't get confuse. To me, this is the best film that Nolan has done. If anyone has questions about the film that they did not understood, I will be happy to answer them so they can be clear to you.

[@efenebilcanik2431]

I was a HUGE SCREEN JUNKİES FAN. But when Dan said ''Interstellar cannot pass logic test'' i understood that Screen Junkies is full of action-lover nerd marvel fans. I enjoy MARVEL films but i forgot them after a week or two. I can re-watch them but just for fun. (except that GotG which was GREAT). Interstellar had very coherent story, logic (SCREW YOU DAN MURRELL, COME ON DUDE, there wasn't any plotholes, nor logic problems) performances were great especially Matthew McConaughey, VFX were perfect, plot was great... For me, it is a true FLAWLESS MOVIE

[@TomaszWota]

It sure as hell wasn't flawless. Multiple problems can be pointed out, and the whole plot is based on a time paradox. ;) It was good, even thought it felt like drawn out at times, and yet, didn't feel anywhere near 2h45 long. ;)

Great comment. I don't know if it's possible to be flawless, but Interstellar is pretty darn close to that.

[@sarrjel]

Interstellar was a good movie. I was mad that I only got to see two planets out of twelve. When Mathew Mcconaughey was talking about time travel and going back in time and how the black hole could do that. Mathew's character was talking about taking a chance to see his daughter I was thinking that this was a loose end that would be resolved at the end of the movie. I was a little disappointed that the ending fell short. It was a good movie and I was getting the epic feeling that I hadn't felt since space Odyssey 2001 and 2010. I thought Nolan could have added flash back and drama of what was going through Mathew Mcconauphey's charactor thinking "Oh shit I'm going through a black hole, I'm going to die." I thought he was going to make it back in time to see his daughter at 11 years or at the same age as him. I was really sad to see his daughter an old woman and on her death bed. I mean I get it he used morse code with gravity with the watch thing and I didn't think about it until a few hours after the movie. It itches your brain like a ball of yarn trying to figure things out???? How did he get back? What happened back at Earth ?? Did they solve the problems? The movie left me with a lot of questions?

[@Narcil]

The movie answered most of your questions, it just didn't come right out and smack you in the face with the answers. Yes, I agree that it was very sad that when he had to come back and see his 11 year old daughter (last time he saw her) in a hospital, dying of old age. However, he could not travel back in time, as that would have violated the science the movie is firmly grounded in. Cooper was able to affect things in the past via gravity because according to the laws of quantum mechanics (from what little I understand) gravity can theoretically be influenced in the past given the right tools and environment. However, under the influence of the intense gravitational forces in the black hole, Cooper himself could only travel forward in time (experience dramatic time compression, from the point of view of an observer outside the black hole). He got out of the tesseract and got back to the milky way galaxy because the beings who designed it built it to deposit him in a location where he would be rescued once his task was completed. Humanity clearly left earth. The problem of reconciling gravity in the unified force equations was clearly accomplished, because Michael Cain's character said they couldn't get their ships to work unless they solved the problem of gravity, and since the ships were functional and in operation when Cooper returned the problem was obviously solved. Providing the necessary information to Murph was the reason the tesseract was built in the first place.

[@sarrjel]

Nathan Alterton Ok, well clearly I'm not a science nerd that picked up on it. Another question: they live on the space station? (er Cooper Station) They never found a habitable planet? The movie sounds like a time paradox that interconnected, but if the worm hole was created in the future by humans with fifth dimensional lingo; technology and scientific equations. Couldn't the people from the future had sent a robot or a transmission into the past with the equations to solve the gravity problem on the ship. This might negate the whole sole purpose of Cooper even leaving and getting stuck in the tesseract in the first place, but if it does never mind.

[@Narcil]

The space ship that Cooper wakes up on after the tesseract ejects him from the black hole is in transit to a new world. The trip will literally take years (the trip to Saturn alone takes two years, if you'll remember). So those ships were built with the ability to house humanity for a trip that might well take decades. You're question about the future beings being able to send a robot, or something like that, back in time is very valid, because I don't think this was explained in the movie. Physical things, like robots, people, even pieces of paper can't travel backward in time, the only thing in the universe (theoretically) that can do that is the force of gravity (I don't really understand this science myself, but this is what I've read). That's why Cooper can interact with things in the past using the force of gravity to communicate ideas but he cannot travel backward in time himself. Worm holes (theoretically) could be held open using the proper application of controlled gravity. It makes sense that this would be possible given Albert Einstein's work which showed that gravity and space are really the same thing. Therefore, the future fifth-dimensional beings could affect the past and create a worm hole using gravity, seeing as it appears that gravity is not necessarily bound by time (as I stated above). You're question does raise a problem for the plot of the movie that I hadn't thought of yet: Given that the future fifth-dimensional beings are obviously trying to provide humanity with the solution to the gravity problem, why do they need Cooper to travel to the black hole in the first place? Couldn't they just transmit the information to Murph the same way that Cooper does, by using gravity to effect objects in an attention getting pattern that conveys the information they want to share? Of course, if they did that, there wouldn't have been a movie.

[@TeraFlare93]

Just a point: not the whole humanity left Earth (that's just what the movie would suggest), that ship isn't even nearly big enough. I watched a video about an interstellar journey some months ago (now deleted for some copyright reasons, I guess), and the ship on the movie was really similar to the one I saw in that video. That ship couldn't bring more than, optimistically, a million people....and it's understandable. Especially if they use available space for baseball fields too :D Anyway, I'm quite serious about physics, but I found the film great.

[@robertjones3443]

Nathan Alterton "why do they need Cooper to travel to the black hole in the first place?" I would call this a plot hole except there is one possible answer that for some reason 5 dimensional beings are unable to obtain the necessary information from the blackhole and only 3 dimensional beings can. "So those ships were built with the ability to house humanity for a trip that might well take decades." So why didn't they build those ships on Earth. Then people wouldn't have starved or suffocated. There's no explanation given as to why the harsher environment of space is somehow easier for to survive in than Earth.

The movie is excellent. The movie kept me intrigued with the characters and the science from beginning to end. The themes really resonated with me, I felt for the characters, not to mention the amazing cinematography and epic shots in space. 9.3/10 for some of the logic dips..but I can easily overlook those

[@GiantSandles]

It doesn’t suck by any means but the Matt Damon section was one of the most unintentionally funny things I’ve ever seen in a film. Aside from that and the hokey ‘love’ speech from Anne Hathaway’s character it was great

[@MobBossBobRoss]

Nick knows diddily-squat of today's movies, and pretty much resorts to the same 80s action films whenever he gets a chance to speak. He used to be fine to watch, but he's gotten sooo repetitive that it feels like he bogs down every discussion. Does anyone else feel that way?

[@iAmerica1776]

Nope, we need different aspects and opinions for this whole fight to work. We need an 80's action movie lover just as much as we need a Disney fan or a Fast and the Furious enthusiast. People like reassurance of their own opinions. They wanna hear other people who share the same opinions. Just because you're not a big 80's fan doesn't mean there aren't others who are. There just having fun. Plus I like Dick Fundy

[@MobBossBobRoss]

Jacob King You dont think the others (or i) love 80s movies? We're all aware of them and their awesomeness. Nick just doesn't provide decent arguments for them, it's always just "They're awesome".

[@v1d30c05]

I disagree. There was only one time I remember Nick just using the awesome argument and that was Iron Man vs. Captain America. Most of the time, he cites previous plot lines and themes and shows the incongruity and inconsistency of them. He often uses the perspective of someone who view of films isn't limited to the last five years, as most of the others seem to be at times.

[@MobBossBobRoss]

Marcos Velasquez Okay, i was being hyperbolic saying he knows nothing about movies and that he just claims his favourite movies to be awesome, BUT he doesn't delve into the intricacies. How does he argue for Star Wars in this? He goes broad: It's consistent, it's fun, it's what got them into movie-geekdom. He doesn't address such matters as the practical effects, setting, or tone of the film. Those, i think, would have won him the fight instantly. We're getting watered-down arguments from a relatively stubborn guy fixated on 80s films. They might as well put one of their dads on the show.

[@hysteria347]

100% agree. Couldn't even watch this episode because he's so annoying.

[@vinchisters]

Interstellar is amazing.

[@bananaempijama]

- Ridley Scott is not on his prime (prometheus?lol), still he is one of the best directors ever: Alien and Blade Runner, for example - Cameron the same (unfortunately now only cares about money). but look what he done: T1, T2 and Aliens, for example. - Spielberg....for me it's ups and downs but still delievers: ET, Indiana Jones, saving private ryan, for example. - David Fincher...unfortunately he didn't do much but....Se7en and Fight Club. - Paul Verhoeven...Robocop, Total Recall. - Chan-wook Park....a very underrated director but everyone know Oldboy right? ;) Watch the vengeance triology, Thirst and JSA All these directors have something that was inspiring and amazing, and still endure through the years. And yes, ALL of them also did horrible movies. Nolan? fap-director. Dark Knight was great (mostly due to Heath's performance), Memento is good but....nothing is special, nothing is groundbreaking. Inception is fucking overrated, TDKR is horrible. I haven't seen Interstellar though Star Wars is the best triology. It's an adventure, with a beginning, a middle and an ending. All 3 movies are good.

[@zoomanjo925]

Three words your missing "In my opinion"

[@bananaempijama]

of course it was my opinion ;)

[@bananaempijama]

yes...i forgot kubrick and scorsese. *me going to a corner and cry* remember....clockwork orange is from kubrick ;)

[@bananaempijama]

ah yes shutter island, great movie ;) i like clockwork, full metal, barry lyndon (the cinematography is superb) and the shinning. eyes wide shut is the worst imo, but he died before the movie was complete, so maybe it could have been good

[@bananaempijama]

damn...someone who agrees with me about Tarantino and i only like those 2 movies (being Django his best) *bow to you kind sir* yup Snyder too. I know many hated man of steel (myself included), but at least we saw a proper fight from supes.
