Movie Thread

It wasn't difficult to follow. I am no physics major and I didn't get lost so I'm sure you won't be left scratching your head.


Plus it has one of the best tear jerking scenes in a while lol.

@SawdustMan . Did you get choked up at any point? I don't want to say when because it's a spoiler.

 

There were a few parts that tugged at the ole heartstrings.

Spoiler

When he's watching the video messages from his son as he's growing up and the message from his daughter on her birthday. And of course the end when he reunites with his daughter on her death bed.

 

I'm a softie most of the time anyways but I watched most of the theater with tears in their eyes after

Spoiler

He comes off of the first planet and his kids were grown

 

You guys talking about tears, I was more of on the edge of my seat with sweaty palms lol. I haven't had a movie make me be like that in some time.

 

Both have Matthew... COINCIDENCE?!

 

Haven't seen Contact since it first came out and don't remember a ton about it. But Interstellar worked for me. I wouldn't say it was Nolan's best but I also don't think it's out of the ballpark of his best efforts.

 

It took me a bit longer to get my head wrapped around Inception than Interstellar lol. Inception is just brilliant story and film making.

The thing I liked most about Interstellar is that almost all of the space graphics used in the movie, particularly Gargantua and the Wormhole are not based on imagination, but on actual physics equations. Kip talked about how the rest was more on educational guesses. The images of Saturn are from Kepler. The movie stretched the boundaries of of what's real and what theoretically could happen or would be like.

 

I agree on this aspect. Everything that happened once he dropped the Ranger into the Event Horizon was beyond what we would think would happen or appear to be real. For instance, when he passed into the Singularity, and he ejected from the Ranger, he should of instantly been torn apart molecule by molecule, or atom by atom according to scientist knowledge of Black Holes. But he sort of just floated in oblivion for a few minutes.
