"Interstellar" is incredible. Possibly the GOAT sci-fi film of all time
Poast new message in this thread
Date: August 3rd, 2024 2:10 PM Author: burgundy stubborn trump supporter queen of the night It looks AND sounds incredible for the entire running time. Every single shot could be a photograph in a frame. Every single actor is A-list and they have incredible chemistry. It is easily Nolan's best work and if you compare it side by side with "Oppenheimer" the latter seems like trash.

Date: August 3rd, 2024 2:12 PM Author: sadistic whorehouse yarmulke i thought it was totally mediocre except for a couple scenes. the first half or 2/3 of the movie is shot on land in the dust belt. the score was wildly overbearing
the same producer did "contact", which was 10x better imo |

contact lived up to its premise interstellar didnt imo |

You disagree that Interstellar is better than Oppenheimer? Was it just the ending you didn't like? |

Date: August 3rd, 2024 3:20 PM Author: lavender university gaming laptop I read the original script written by Jonathan Nolan when it was being passed around Hollywood and the original ending was way better. In it, humanity sent a couple of robots to a planet orbiting a black hole. The robots’ job was to prepare the planet for humanity to live there. When the ship arrives, they find a thriving global civilization of huge cities and millions of robots awaiting humanity’s arrival, and even though the robots were only sent there a few months earlier, you find out that five-thousand years had passed on the planet due to time dilation as a result of the planet’s proximity to the black hole. Chris Nolan didn’t end up using it because IRL time dilation works the exact opposite way (i.e., LESS time would pass on a planet orbiting a black hole). It was still a 180 idea for a story though.

Date: August 3rd, 2024 6:33 PM Author: lavender university gaming laptop They could have worked it in using something like what you just said. There was a rumor that Chris Nolan didn’t use it because he wanted to use it as the plot for a sequel but I don’t believe that. I’m fairly certain he just scrapped the idea altogether. Renowned physicist Kip Thorne was an adviser on the film and I think he straight up told Nolan this shit is retarded and could never happen IRL.

rest was decent. stuff like love was silly

Date: August 3rd, 2024 5:04 PM Author: glittery cuck Great looking movie, but the plot was and is dumb as hell.
"Cooper falls into the black hole and finds himself in a four-dimensional tesseract, where he travels through time and space and finds himself able to manipulate the falling dust grains in his childhood home, allowing him to send the NASA site coordinates to his past self and bootstrap his mission. He also deduces that the tesseract itself was constructed by a future generation of humankind to similarly guide their predecessors. He and TARS transmit information from within the black hole by manipulating the hands of Murph's wristwatch."
He uses love and a wristwatch to communicate to another dimension (also he can only send codes through becausue you can obvioulsy manipulate a watch through time and space but you can't jst send fucking words).
I've seen paw patrol episodes where i've had to suspend my disbelief more |

Date: August 3rd, 2024 5:44 PM Author: smoky harsh hall Kip Thorne (Caltech prof. and Nobel laureate for his work in gravity) was technical advisor on the movie. I talked with him about it. His objective was to make sure that nothing portrayed was impossible based on our present understanding of physics. Highly speculative was OK, obviously. He wrote a short book called "The Science of Interstellar," which shows his back-of-the-envelope calculations illustrating why things portrayed in the movie could be true. The book has a fair amount of depth on what happens around black holes. The visualization work they did on black holes and wormholes was 180.
