You cannot escape, as far as we know, a non-rotating Schwarzschild singularity. This represents the first discovered black hole solution to General Relativity and most commonly thought of singularity, but in nature; these objects would be rare if not simply non-existent.


When you cross-over the event horizon the first time, time and space vectors are swapped; meaning time becomes a 3-dimensional area and space becomes a single dimensional point (the singularity you are moving towards). Thus, you are always moving towards the singularity no matter what you do (even if you could travel faster than light, it wouldn't matter).

The books and stuff like that is more metaphysical, not scientific. Nolan is trying to say that reality is perception and love is our way of understanding reality in a deeper more meaningful way.

The movie is no more presumptuous (far less so) than Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey which demonstrates the birth/evolution of a God from man.

But the book scenes are so central to the plot and infact shape the events in the movie so for Nolan to put the scene in was a bit odd. If that was what he intended it went completely over my head.

And While a lot of this movie has inspirations from 2001 a Space Odyssey and The Black Hole - 1 movie that has a scene that is an almost exact replica of a scene in Interstellar is ? Event Horizon !!!!!! The Wormhole explanation scene with Sam Neil.
 
I watched 2001 in full for the first time last night in preparation to watch Interstellar.

Kubrick and Clarke nailed skype and tablets.

The atmosphere (pun intended) set once we first hit the ships was amazing. The docking scene and really any space travel scenes were incredible, particularly considering the technology limitations of that era.

The last 15-20 minutes of the movie were just far too abstract for me. Starting with the minute he exited the time warp/black hole things just got too weird for me. Everything surrounding that final scene was just really too college film class thesis for me. I don't need to be hammered over the head, but there was just zero explanation as to what was going on.

Could also have done without the whole monolith concept, but I get the idea of evolution.

I certainly see why it's a classic and can't justify anything less than an 8.5, but the end just completely lost me.

Yes, the film score was amazing, Zimmer has been on a roll for awhile now, and this might be his best work yet.

You know what I find absolutely hilarious? There are a lot of critics docking points off this movie for what they feel is illogical or bad science, yet all I have read from actual physicists is how accurate this movie is.

If you don't know enough about astro physics, (which is going to be most people, including me) you shouldn't be touching on that in your review.

I was impressed with the dedication Nolan put into trying to get the physics right. Were there mistakes? Sure, it's a movie and will never be 100% perfect. In fact, it probably wouldn't be that enjoyable if they hit all of the physics as we we currently understand it.

He worked with Kip Thorne to try to be as accurate as possible, particularly on the visual effects.

I'm a physicist, and I get a bit annoyed when people complain about minor physics errors in movies. Part of what makes some of these movies enthralling is the suspension of disbelief and allowing yourself to be put in a universe where, while it might not be exactly the same as reality, contains enough similarities to make for a very fun but still relatable story.
 
Finally going to see Interstellar. Waiting for the 8oclock showing. Glad the theatre is empty. I brought my Christopher Nolan movie emergency kit. Jergens and tissues.

I usually bate to his movies because he's THAT damn good.


I loved it. Some of the science was over my head. The spoilers brownindoan put above confused me. I just don't get that part of the movie. Which is kind of important. Up until o got lost there the movie was perfect.
 
Pirates, wow what a great story. Some of the science and history were off, but it told a great story!

I want to get my own TARS. He was hysterical in Interstellar.
 
Went through Prime Instant Video and decided to watch a 1999 movie called "Ravenous" with Robert Carlyle.

What a surprise movie and one of the greatest soundtracks I've ever heard in a film. If American period piece cannibal films interest you, check it out.

8/10
 
I finally got to see Gone Girl, and it was phenomenal!

I loved the opening and the ending, because it's something that I think we'd all like to know what another is thinking.

I didn't expect it to be as long as it was and thought it could have wrapped up a good 40mins before it was over. Nonetheless, a very fantastic movie. Makes you think 2x about who you're with.
 
Took the girlfriend to go see the new Hunger Games movie....

I did not read any of the books and don't plan on it. I've seen every movie b/c of her, though. (Previous movies were nothing special, but not horrible)

Without reading the books, this movie pretty much just sets everything up for the final movie, I feel. Not a lot of action at all.

I will give it a 3.5/10 just because I find Jennifer Lawrence beautiful (with long hair), the 1 girl from GoT is in it, and Woody Harrelson is just the man.
 
Finally got around to seeing Interstellar last night. Wasn't sure what to expect considering all the mixed reviews.

I thought the movie was absolutely phenomenal. Easily the best movie I've seen in theaters the past few years.

The visuals and score were stunningly good. What I appreciate more than anything is how ambitious the movie is. It's certainly an homage to 2001, both visually and thematically. At times it felt like I was watching 2001, which is one of my favorites.

The only minor gripes I had were McConaughey being a bit too McConaughey at times and freaking Matt Damon popping up out of the sleep chamber, completely breaking immersion for a second.

Older movie, but Glory happened to be on last night again so I watched it for about the 20th time.
If you haven't seen it, you've missed out on a extraordinary film. Denzel in an Academy-Award winning role, Morgan Freeman, and a truly great story with a fantastic soundtrack by the Harlem Boys Choir. Get tears every time during the climactic battle scene.
