Interstellar

[Anubis]

The only part that really seems obviously inaccurate to me was:

Spoiler

When Matt Damon didn't dock properly and blew things up. There was a sizeable fireball in space during that crash, but fireballs can't happen in space because there's no oxygen. It's a common problem with lots of sci-fi explosions.

there was still air in the station part that exploded, enough to cause a localized fireball
this can happen in real life

IMO better across the board

Agreed

 

[Anubis]

Saw the movie last night. Was okay but dragged on for too long. The "music" was obnoxious - loud and annoying.

Some of the visual effects were great. The science behind them, not so much.

Loved the part inside the event horizon - really imaginative and new.

Loved the way the movie brings out the relativity of time - message is "Enjoy it while it lasts!"

ill leave this here

4D? :whiste:

I still will probably go see it next weekend in IMAX dome in 70, just waiting on the wife to get back home and going to buy the tickets and set a dinner date up to do it and book em.

Looks worth it, will have to look for a good restaurant near it we haven't been too before hand to make the trip through all the traffic there and back worth it.

will plan this one as an outing I guess.

How does Interstellar compare to Gravity?

Gravity is a better theatre experience, but Interstellar is two times as long, so it has that going for it, which is nice.

I agree as well. To me Gravity was extremely boring, especially compared to Interstellar.

Saw at the IMAX, great flick. Half the experience was the imax.

I was all on gravity's jock...until interstellar. Now Gravity just seems like an IMAX demo reel =X

But gravity did have Atmos going for it.

As an action, on the edge of your seat movie, I much preferred Gravity.

Not to say Interstellar was bad. Two difference movies.

^^

That entire scene was insane

Spoiler

was Matt Damon in the credits or was it an uncredited cameo? The more I think about it the more brilliant this was - if he was on top billed cast you would've expected him to show up at some point, but since he wasn't that entire subplot was a surprise (at least to me). That was the first time I got Nolan'd in the movie.

Now I wanna see contact and 2001 again =X

He is not in the first series of billed credits but only appears in the scrolling list. Somewhere down the list towards the end.

I'm just happy they wrapped up every loose end. I feel the movie was complete.

The whole relatively law thing was really well done. The real world is much scarier than scifi.

Hole E. Fuk.

That was epic. Barely knew anything about this movie going in. Just looked up what was playing today, chose this. My eyes were glued to the screen the entire time.

Classic! Just like 2001...got to wrap things up for us simple people.

Did it flow well, didn't feel long at all?

After the first 40 mins or so I stopped noticing the time.

Fwiw the LotR movies felt a lot longer than interstellar.

 

[Rage187]

I didn't want it to end. When I thought it was close to over, I looked at my phone and the movie still had another 75 minutes. It never felt long. If it was Peter Jackson, it would have been 3 films and they would have been just OK. But it all feels right. Well paced, and the 3 hours were used wisely.

LoTR really dragged on for me but it wasn't my cup of tea to begin with.

Can't wait to see this.

 

[Ns1]

Another poster above captures it quite well IMO it felt both long and short at the same time.

4D? :whiste:

No, obviously 5D if you've seen the film.

On a rather amusing note considering someone though it would be shown in 3D, my brother went to see it in IMAX and they started showing 3D trailers beforehand... everyone was confused and wondered what was going on since no one had 3D glasses. The movie then started and it was all blurry like it was supposed to be in 3D. When people went outside to find out what was going on, the manager looked so lost... she couldn't understand what was going on either. They had to restart the film two times until it was finally in 2D. He did get a refund and a free pass to a future film, though.

Makes one wonder what would have been seen had he had a pair of 3D glasses on hand... :hmm:

Holy shit, interstellar is 169 minutes compared to 91 minutes for Gravity.

132m WWBO for first weekend.

As an astrophysicist, I'm truly impressed with the accuracy of the black hole and time and space dilation. I can't wait to nitpick the accompanying papers to see just how accurate it really is. It is what I've intellectually conceived of it, but there is only so far imagination can visualize without an actual picture/video.

Ebert would have loved this movie.

He gave Phantom Menace 4 stars. Was pretty much dead to me after that review.

I assume you've seen this or the source article then?

Should I go see this movie in 2d?
