I liked it.
It was all science-fictiony and stuff, and I had to give them bonus points for talking about a higher dimension THAT WASN'T TIME. |
|
I enjoyed the science in it and theories they had even though lots didnt make any sense. I just nerded out on what ifs.

I like most of it. I didn't care for the ending where he went... And how it explained previous events in the movie
|
|
I watched it and didn't realize how long it was. I guess I got lost in the movie. I enjoyed it.

Too many big words, not enough guns & boobies?
ETA: J/k, I don't see what the big deal is in not liking a subjective piece of art. |
|
I enjoyed it, saw it in the theater up here
really would love to see it in an IMAX theater |

watched it last night--enjoyed it, but there was something unsatisfying about it. every individual thing about it was solid, but it was like a great recipe, only missing one or two ingredients. a bit on the predictable side, which is ok, but it didn't quite pay off right. i can't put my finger on it.
probably the least satisfying nolan movie i've seen, but the bar was set awfully high to begin with. i did appreciate how much effort they put into the science of the thing. per wiki, the preproduction work actually led to 2 scientific publications. |

Got the Blu-Ray of it yesterday, watched it today. I enjoyed it. Maybe if we're lucky they'll have a sequel.

Saw it at IMAX and liked it. Hell, the wife wanted to go back the next weekend to see it again.

Some of the decisions to save the human race were just stupid. Spoilers below if you still need to warn of spoilers 6 months after a movie comes out.
"Hey guys let's consider a planet next to a black hole. What could go wrong with that idea?" "We have no idea what any of these planets are like so rather than doing a few laps in orbit and observing we're just going to drop someone on a random spot and hope for the best." |

Saw it and loved it! Wish other directors would step up to Nolan's level and deliver thoughtful/intelligent movies!

You got to watch Matt Damon get blown to Hell. What's not to like?

That was awesome! I dunno, I had high hopes for this. I loved Gravity and Moon and for whatever reason I thought it would be more along those lines. The end of Interstellar didn't work for me. And yeah, I'm pretty convinced no movie is worth 3 hours. Ninety minutes folks, that's the optimal movie length. |

View Quote a planet next to a black hole is no different than a planet next to a star. if our sun collapsed into a black hole tomorrow, it would do absolutely nothing to the earth's orbit--same mass, same gravitational effects. as for not orbiting, the writers went to great lengths to establish why they didn't. the relativistic effects of orbiting the first planet would dilate time so badly that everyone on earth would be dead anyway. the second one, the surface of the planet was obscured by solid, frozen clouds. it's not like they didn't spend extensive screen time explaining these things. |

Good movie. I did not notice the 3 hour time so much, they kept the storyline moving enough to keep it interesting. I do believe in letting a movie entertain me, I do not watch them for authenticity, except for maybe an obama 2016 type movie.

Would you like some corn with your corn on the cob, corn bread, and cream corn?

The whole method of selecting a new planet struck me as akin to throwing darts at the wall while blindfolded and seeing what you hit. Sub-orbital satellites or atmospheric drones or some other method of exploring the planets would make way more sense than just dropping a dude off at a random spot and hoping for the best. |

Some of the story was outright stupid, very unbelievable. The science presented wasn't exactly cutting edge stuff.

While you may argue that your lack of capitalization is an expressive right, protected by the 1st Amendment, I really don't give a damn, because that's how I roll - and because I know you have thumbs, thus enabling you to use proper capitalization even when posting from an iPhone, iPad, iWhateverYouCollegeFolksUseTheseDays. Now, about the movie ... What really bridged the gap and struck me at the core was his relationship with his daughter. I think that pulled me into the movie more than anything else, and I really liked the "anything else" stuff, too. The movie requires a suspension of disbelief for some of the more allegorical aspects, like where the craft breaks apart while entering the black hole - as this looked like an overt reference to Einstein's postulation of what happens to a lone astronaut falling into a black hole. I liked the neo-baroque score by Zimmer, too, which also had some nods to 2001. Ok, so you're now going to go back and watch the movie again, and like it more ... capisce ? |

Couldn't stand it. The sound/music was all jacked up and the climax was a disappointment. They made (what passes for in modern cinema) a hard science film, and then the day is saved with, literally, a miracle. It was a slap in the face.

I really liked the movie, except for one part.
I cannot fathom how Coop can spend the whole movie trying to get back to his daughter, and when he finally does at the end there were no tears...no embraces (yeah she was in a hospital bed, so what), and she was apathetic about him even being there after she spent two weeks traveling to the station to see him. Kinda frustrating for a movie that based it's story on love and human emotion. |

Miracles exist and their results are so amazing yet so unrealized. |

View Quote I was just glad to see a movie that took a somewhat scientifically accurate approach to space travel. It wasn't perfect, but it was way better than the typical scifi space movie that is obviously a writer just making shit up as they go. But the story was a little underwhelming to me. |

Interstellar was hands down my favorite sci-fi movie, ever. It had everything ive ever wanted in a sci-fi flick; apocalyptic mood, black holes, wormholes, Matt Damon dying, time travel, black holes... I mean, what more could you want? Hell, even the musical score was appropriate.
Thanks OP for reminding me to Redbox it. |
