Spoilers........




Watched it last night. Three issues off the top of my head atm

1. Corny arse lines at the beginning. Got better as the film went along.
2. At the end when she was in her old room and she suddenly understood everything right in time before her brother came home. I was like come on man. Corny, just too perfect, whatever.. I could see it about to dawn on her and I already had my hand heading toward my face for a face palm when it finally did dawn on her.
3. Her brother gets home after putting out his crop fire, his sister and some guy is trying to make off with his wife and kid, his sister come out of the house ranting about his dead dad, and he's just fine with it?!?!? That's cool sis you're trying to steal my wife and kid, you're spouting nonsense about our dead dad, and your boyfriend is trying to jack me up with a tire iron, but that's cool come here and give me a hug.


Other than that it was a pretty good movie Made me want to watch it again. Already had to start it over twice after it got halfway through because my stream messed up.

Was religion front and center as it was in Contact? I don't understand why movie-makers have to "balance" science movies with religion.



It was designed to be a religious experience, which it should be, but it isn't like Contact. Really, Interstellar is Contact with balls. It goes through with everything Contact threatens to do but doesn't. Really, it's designed to show you mankind's next great step and make it as epic as possible, and it succeeds at it. Really, we need to make our next space fairing adventure religious, since simply seeing it as financial ruins it. It's our next step as a species and we should seek to venture into the stars, and screw it all if we personally aren't here to see us going to another solar system or galaxy, just put forth the blocks for our grandchildren to do it. Us being a space fairing species should be religious, and to not feel that way is simply sad.

This movie was designed to be a plea to the stupidity of man to give a damn about our species and space again. They needed to spell it out.

Why does this really matter? There was a theme of connection in dying established, so I don't see why this is an issue.

It's not confirmed she did that. She just solved the equation that put all of mankind into orbit, and that probably took a good 50 years to put most of mankind there. I'm sure once she proved that she could put man into orbit, her brother took he and his family aboard.

True Detective?


Yeah I didn't get the shitty actor part either. I don't like teasips in general and out of principal, but his True Detective role was fine art.

One of the best theatre experiences I've had in years. I was completely engrossed the entire time. And Hans Zimmer better run away with that Oscar, that soundtrack was incredible.
