It was good. If I ignore the extremely bad science... it had a great story. Very remenicent of 2001 in terms of theme. The only bad science I could pick out is the ridiculous delta v they had to get back into orbit, yet were complaining about not enough at other times. As for the black hole, well we don't really know what is going on. Current theories are: Entire Universe inside, Complete destruction of Universal Laws, Higher Dimensions. Hawking posits that since information shouldn't be able to be destroyed, either it literally collects all past information or it is a bridge to another dimension or multiverse. I enjoyed the movie, great visuals and shot framing, excellent music and sound(So thrilled that there was no sound when the camera was out in space, unlike the science abomination Gravity). I could see cutting out some of the slower Earth scenes but I believe they were there to reinforce the "Love is transcendent" theme. So it worked for me. |

I see it rather similarly. I rarely go to the cinema as a consequence. The last couple of years almost everything that has shown on a wide scale looks to be crap, or at best uninteresting to me. No sense in paying a lot of money (especially if I want popcorn or a drink) for that sort of thing. It needs to be worth it. That said, this looks like it just might be enjoyable enough for me to be worth it if I can spare the cash. Still on the fence about it, though. I do wonder if there are differences between the IMAX cinemas. I remember when I had to go to Los Angeles to see something in IMAX (back when they mainly showed documentaries) and the screen seemed huge compared to the local IMAX screens. They used to show videos ahead of the main feature to demonstrate the effect such a huge screen could have on perception, such as a video of flight, that made you feel like your guts were moving just as if you were actually making those maneuvers. I don't get that from the local IMAX screens. Quote HistoryQuoted:

IMAX here cost $13 It's $16 here, and I see movies with my wife or daughter. That assumes we eat nothing, and I'm over $30 just to sit there. Again, it looks like an entertaining movie, but already the reviews coming in talk of the cheese, goofy science and worn-out tropes. I can do better for my entertainment dollar, that's all. I'll see it, may even like it, but it'll be cheap when I do. I see it rather similarly. I rarely go to the cinema as a consequence.

Next few 3d movies that came out... disappointment city. Plus with the current tech glasses everything is dark as hell. I.E. live action movies that are filmed for normal film then 3d converted... I think the Pixar movies do well in 3d because it's easier to animate for 3d than film, and they are already normally very brightly done, so it's not as extreme with the glasses. |

Me and the dragon lady watched it last night. Excellent movie and I didn't get any libtard vibe from it at all.
Also, don't listen to the hippy "I'm trying too hard to be edgy" critics giving this film a bad review. IMDb is giving it a 9.2 out of 10. Go watch it. Preferably in IMAX. |

So those that have watched it.
I'm getting a sentimental chick flick vibe from reading about reviews talking about feelings and leaving us daughter and her growing up and what she feels, Feelings of but hurt chicks have no place in space films. Ok a minute but move the fuck on. Is it over done or ok. I'm not sitting through three hours of fucking feelings. For example sunshine got this right, one short clip of one member sending a message to his family. We are intelligent enough to work out what is involved in a mission like this I don't want sentimental over load. |

It hasn't gotten any "bad" reviews, just some people who contrasted its good with its bad...and that's not an edgy critic but one doing his job. Few films are perfect, I'm sure like every Nolan film this one ain't either. Hell, the first 3 or 4 reviews I read on the film were from geek sites (Nerdist, etc.) and they're more apt to squee about it than anyone else and even they found things to dislike. I actually listen to critics, because I'm much like them. I'm not trying to be snobby, I just have high expectations of film because I've seen a lot of good and anymore the bad is tiresome and original or interesting movies are far and between. YMMV.

The more I think about it, even at damn near 3 hours they had to cut too much stuff out.
I think they should have made into 2 movies, or even a trilogy. Then they could have really fleshed out some of the "how did Earth get so fucked up" stuff. the "sci-fi geek" stuff, and the "whats going on on Earth for all these lost years" stuff. |

I know it has a PG-13 rating, but for those that have seen it, what's in it that makes it inappropriate to take your kids to it? Is there a lot of strong language, or adult sexual situations? Is there gratuitous violence, or gore? Or, is it just intense action that gives it the PG-13 rating? I'm thinking about taking the wife and kids to see it tomorrow. (use spoiler function if you need to--PS I don't mind if you spoil the movie for me) Thanks.

We saw it. I thought it was a pretty decent movie. This afternoon in fact. I didn't get the eco-vibe from it. Just a blight that was evolving and killing the crops. It has the standard drama crap that comes from hollywood. Smae as with Apollo 13. Stuff that real professionals would never do. Same with some of the "decisions" the crew made. But all in all, I don't feel cheated for seeing it. Great visuals but WTF loud! The sound track should never overpower the movie. ETA: No reason to keep kids away but it is three hours long. Decide accordingly. |

I think Nolan makes very pretty movies that cover up a lot of fundamental flaws, and this one seems to be that sort of film. Holy shit! Dont wait for video. Get thee to the nearest true IMAX and see it. This is this generation's Avatar or 2001. It must be seen on a big ass screen. Worth it for the beautiful visuals alone! Wouldn't this generations Avatar be... Avatar?

You know what I mean!  It was a film you had to experience in the theater.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The only bad science I could pick out is the ridiculous delta v they had to get back into orbit, yet were complaining about not enough at other times. As for the black hole, well we don't really know what is going on. Current theories are: Entire Universe inside, Complete destruction of Universal Laws, Higher Dimensions. Hawking posits that since information shouldn't be able to be destroyed, either it literally collects all past information or it is a bridge to another dimension or multiverse. I enjoyed the movie, great visuals and shot framing, excellent music and sound(So thrilled that there was no sound when the camera was out in space, unlike the science abomination Gravity). I could see cutting out some of the slower Earth scenes but I believe they were there to reinforce the "Love is transcendent" theme. So it worked for me. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: It was good. If I ignore the extremely bad science... it had a great story. Very remenicent of 2001 in terms of theme.

Can you imagine spending your entire life on one subject and now near the end it is clear you got everything wrong. Laura Mersini-Houghton and Herald P. Pfeiffer are part of a long list of scientists showing Black Hole doesn't exist. This time with mathematical proof. Black Hole is a desperate attempt to try to prove the Big Bang Theory is correct. One bad theory lead to another and the result is countless years lost. |

It was visually interesting. The acting was decent. The details such as sound in space, and docking maneuvers, were decent.
But the person who pointed out that Nolan needed a copy of KSP before he wrote the script was dead on. The delta-v issues were massive holes in the plot, and on top of that the whole concept of rushing from point A to point B in space while pulling off a literal version of the Kessel Run was not just scientifically shitty, but disappointing from a plot/pacing/audience perspective of building appropriate drama. I was sincerely hoping for a movie like Inception, that manages to keep building tension and complexity to the plot without getting impossibly hard to follow or seeming contrived. I'm not much of one to try to peer ahead and guess the ending halfway through the movie, but it was pretty obvious what was going to happen to anyone with a background in science fiction. I truly felt this wasn't up to Nolan's previous skill at weaving a truly epic storyline together. And apparently I'm alone in being disappointed by Zimmer's soundtrack. I'm a huge fan of tons of his scores: Crimson Tide, Inception, Batman, Broken Arrow, etc. This was the first time that I felt cheated out of a true movie score worthy of the film itself. The main theme was mediocre at best, and there wasn't much beyond it. Contrasted to Inception or The Dark Knight, a large portion of the drama that should have been present, simply wasn't - because the score needed to drive those emotions was conspicuously absent or bland. |

I saw it last night with my teenage son and we both really enjoyed it. It was one of the finest examples I've seen of literary SF---classic literary SF--translated to film. It was very well done and if you want to see more intelligent, thoughtful SF movies, you should go support this one.
