Movie Interstellar

Black Hole.......Interesting

No, worm hole. A black hole or singularity is a super dense area of matter that is so dense That it collapses in on itself and even light cannot escape it's gravity.

A worm hole, which is referenced in this movie is a link between two sections of space/time. This is due to the assumption that space/time is not a flat solid surface. Think of folding a piece of paper in half and sticking a pencil through it. The pencil is the worm hole making the spots on the paper way closer that they were when the paper was flat.

annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd I'm done watching trailers for this. Beyond stoked for this. Looks amazing.

 

[Blood on Blood]

Will go see at theater

From IMDB:

I did not get that from the trailer. I thought it would be about the early years of the space program...

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Definitely can't wait

 

[Mook]

SWEET FUCKING FUCK.

I recommend using the quoted part to view it as I have a feeling the embed vids are getting pulled from sites for now.

[IDAFC21]

Oh my. Oh my.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

Wonder if any of the other Moon landing dates lead to anything. Will have to try.

Sounds like Event Horizon to me!!

November is still so far away.

Despite the film’s futuristic premise, Nolan sees Interstellar as old-school in some ways. “It’s a very classically constructed movie, but the freshness of the narrative elements really enhance it,” he told the magazine (via Coming Soon). “I liken it to the blockbusters I grew up with as a kid, family films in the best sense: edgy, incisive, challenging.”

And ambitious, according to McConaughey. “This is the grandest adventure I think any of us will ever see on film,” said the star. “This is the biggest film I’ve ever been a part of. This is one of the biggest films anyone’s ever been a part of.”

At the same time, Hathaway insists, Nolan hasn’t lost sight of the human angle. “It’s not a dry, science-based film. It has a pulse. It’s got blood in its veins,” she said. Nolan tends to be a cold director, so if Interstellar is more emotional than most of his works (and the marketing so for suggests it is), Interstellar could be new territory for him in that sense.

Early review perhaps?

Lets also take note of this recent tweet from filmmaker Edgar Wright, which eludes to have just seen Interstellar:

Just saw a forthcoming film. All I can say is that it exceeded my very high expectations & I can’t wait to see it on a huge screen again…

 

[IDAFC21]

Movies supposed to clock in at like 169 minutes. Nolans longest one yet. Tho...dark knight rises was like 164 minutes or something, so its not a huge jump or anything

 

[Breze84]

So basically the movie is showing a modern day over cropping "Dust Bowl" problem like in the 1930's and they have to go to space to save everyone form starving? lol

 

[nytebyte]

Is this another movie with a "Climate Change" theme?

Reviews are all over the place.

Interstellar is ambitious, beautiful, Christopher Nolan‘s most emotional film to date. The story allows us to explore many big ideas we wouldn’t normally see in a big budget studio film, but the ideas sometimes fly by at light speed, squeezed into popcorn cinema. The result is that the story is left with some holes of logic. As someone who enjoyed Prometheus, I can see past this kind of thing when the overall experience is enjoyable. I think others may have problems with some of these logistical issues. But even those critics will agree that Interstellar is a film not to be missed in its theatrical run – the movie must be experienced in a big theater, projected in 70mm or on an IMAX film screen if possible.

For all its adventurous and far-seeing aspects, Interstellar remains rather too rooted in Earthly emotions and scientific reality to truly soar and venture into the unknown, the truly dangerous. Startling at times, it never confronts the terror of the infinite and nothingness, no matter how often the dialogue cites the spectre of a “ghost” or how many times we hear Dylan Thomas’s “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night” and its famous “Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

‘Interstellar’ is a good movie that so desperately wants to be important. That sentence is going to read as churlish, but I do admire ‘Interstellar’ for at least attempting to be something that’s not dumb. There are already too many dumb things we are subjected to on a daily basis. And ‘Interstellar’ is ambitious, even though there are a lot of head-scratching scenes. Yet, there we still are, spinning out of control with the reality that Nolan has created – and it’s only when we stop spinning, when we look at it from afar, that we kind of realize how absurd it all was … even though it leaves us craving a little more.

Like Zemeckis, Nolan is known as a bit of a wizard who has often dealt with criticisms that his work is cold or less emotionally engaging than it is technically dazzling. One of the things that I found most interesting about “Interstellar” is how very hard it’s focused on getting the emotional side of things right, sometimes at the expense of the larger science-fiction story being told.

To infinity and beyond goes “Interstellar,” an exhilarating slalom through the wormholes of Christopher Nolan’s vast imagination that is at once a science-geek fever dream and a formidable consideration of what makes us human. As visually and conceptually audacious as anything Nolan has yet done, the director’s ninth feature also proves more emotionally accessible than his coolly cerebral thrillers and Batman movies, touching on such eternal themes as the sacrifices parents make for their children (and vice versa) and the world we will leave for the next generation to inherit. An enormous undertaking that, like all the director’s best work, manages to feel handcrafted and intensely personal, “Interstellar” reaffirms Nolan as the premier big-canvas storyteller of his generation, more than earning its place alongside “The Wizard of Oz,” “2001,” “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” and “Gravity” in the canon of Hollywood’s visionary sci-fi head trips.

Nolan is a master technician, and the space flight scenes in this are stunning, whether in the still beauty of a slow pass by Saturn’s rings or the swift, silent terror of disaster destroying a spaceship in the void between the stars. While the great complaint about Nolan is that he’s too cold, too clinical, too unemotional, he’s over-corrected here to such a degree than instead of drifting a little from one side to the next, he plows, swiftly, and disastrously, into a ditch of his own making—or, rather, of his and co-writer Jonathan Nolan’s making.

To paraphrase Christopher Nolan‘s “The Dark Knight,” we don’t get the prestige filmmakers we need, we get the ones we deserve. And one of the ones we seemingly deserve is Nolan himself, a filmmaker with a keen visual sense but also one who undercuts the big, challenging ideas of his movies with unnecessarily tidy resolutions. In that respect, “Interstellar” may represent an apotheosis of sorts, as it illustrates the very best and the very worst of Nolan as a writer-director.

There are so many frustrating flaws in this enormously cerebral, wonderfully hopeful and massively ambitious movie. If good intentions were enough to make a movie a masterpiece, Interstellar would be the greatest work of Nolan’s career. That said, even with its many flaws, Interstellar is an often gorgeous, expertly put-together movie that demands to be seen on the biggest possible screen. And while many parts of Interstellar don’t work, the whole hangs together enough to be a movie that impresses with hard sci-fi nerdiness. If only that were enough to make it the great film we hoped for.

Nolan is a filmmaker we turn to when we want something outside of the norms and deliver something that is both “unordinary” and exists on a massive scale. “Predictable” isn’t a word we’d expect to be uttered within 10 miles of a Christopher Nolan movie – and yet it’s painfully necessarily in discussion of Interstellar, Nolan’s aesthetically beautiful, large-scale sci-fi drama that is admirable in its ideas and style, but lacking in its storytelling and execution.

“Interstellar” is another one of Christopher Nolan’s more personal mind-f*ck movies which he’s done so well when not directing adventures of a certain cowled vigilante. While it may not be as immediate as “Inception” and it wears most of its most obvious influences on its sleeve, it’s still very much the type of intelligent spin on a specific genre we’ve come to expect from the filmmaker.

Aside from being an ambitious, heartfelt story about exploring our place beyond this Earth, Interstellar also seems like an amalgamation of many of iconic sci-fi films of past: 2001: A Space Odyssey, A.I., The Abyss,Sunshine, Mission to Mars, Solaris (it even has some Rendezvous with Rama in it). But unlike other films such as Oblivion (which was too obviously inspired), Nolan borrows and then re-imagines in a way that is fresh and exciting, and feels more like a nod than a direct copy.

There were a few more but Im tired of copying pasting.

I want to go see it but I never get to the movies anymore

 

[Dragonkat]

broke down and watched it, looks interesting

Interesting article on how Nolan's efforts to be scientifically accurate have led to a scientific discovery. No one had ever before attempted to depict what a black hole would actually look like. They didn't get what they were expecting.

Great read.

I saw it in IMAX. I would recommend that.

I'm going to refrain from saying more. Just go see it.
