Interstellar is a terrible movie that doesn't say or do anything special and I still don't understand why anyone thinks it's so amazing.
I did really like the robot guy though.
Interstellar is one of my favourite movies, yet I can definitely say it's not perfect. Hell, it's got a few massive plot holes and the ending leaves a lot to be desired. Saying that, I still enjoyed it. I love the visuals, the BTS stuff is interesting, but most of all it made me feel. That's what I value in media. Other people may value a coherent plot, historical accuracy, or a myriad of other things. We all like/dislike things for different reasons, and that's okay.
I also agree that TARS was very cool.
Absolutely man. I gush about notorious flop Ninja Assassin elsewhere in this thread. We like what we like and I mean no disrespect.
I really need to add this.
A friend of mine genuinely believes that it's based on a true story.
Man that dude is living a wacky life of he thinks interstellar is real, and still goes to his job every day
Ha, this won't surprise you, he really struggles to hold down a job.
I thought Oppenheimer was a mess of half fleshed out ideas and characters you were not invested in...very underwhelming. And I saw it at the proper IMAX.
Interstellar is an amazing movie followed immediately by a terrible sequel.
Nolan is my favorite director. The Prestige and Memento are absolute genius movies, I cannot rewatch then enough times. Inception is great too. But Interstellar is so boring and pointless, I stopped it after 2 hours of nothing happening on the screen. It's hard to believe all those movies were made by the same person
It's a movie made for space nerds, and if you aren't a space nerd I can understand not enjoying it. Part of what made it so amazing is just the black hole simulation, no one had ever rendered one that accurately with such high fidelity.
I'm a huge space nerd. I did also appreciate the visuals and realistic portrayal of time dilation, and should have noted that (though it may have diluted my opinion a bit?). I just didn't like the actual movie itself.
Now that's an unpopular opinion. Respect.
Lmao, no it isn't. At best, it's made for people who are lightly into space/science and also lightly into cinema, so please don't trot out the "you need a high IQ to enjoy this movie" stuff. If it were made for space nerds, two scientists selected for deep space flight wouldn't need to stop and explain what E=MC² is to one another.
That's kind of always been Nolan's schtick, though, and I guess it's working out for him because he's got the a huge, quite passionate fan base. I'll never understand the hype and find his movies quite mid as cinema, but eh.
There was a physics paper published based on the simulation of the black hole because of how accurate it was. The depth is there if you look for it.
That's not quite right. They hired a theoretical physicist to provide them equations for simulating a black hole. Then, the SFX studio used their Nolan Movie Money to generate it extremely accurately to the extent that it helped spawn further research. It's not that the studio happened to get it right from research. They were given all the pieces they needed and were able to do something these physicists had a hard time doing likely because they never had that kind of money/equipment: make an exceptional, high-fidelity, cinematic simulation.
