@julesvm, i was ok with the bookshelf stuff after he went through the black hole, even though it was super corny and plot holes galore. Should have ended there though.
Everything after it was unnecessary. This movie should have been 2 hours long and tightened up, less dumb characters like random black guy on the ship, murphys boyfriend (why was he in this movie???), less random cutting back and forth.
This crazy editing worked for inception but here its jarring and annoying. Cutting from deep space, to corn field on fire, back to matt damon turning into the film villain for 5 minutes, to casey affleck and some other guy fighting in a house for no reason. Amateur hour editing, destroying any possible flow to the different things going on. So bad.

I noticed a lot of people didn't like the movie because they couldn't understand it. I get that it's difficult to grasp theoretical astrophysics, but this is so far, one of the closest portrayals of it that exists, and it's downright stunning. After reading about this subject for the last two years, seeing this movie gave me goosebumps.
I definitely had issues with the casting because having surprise A-listers added for effect, is jarring, and takes the audience away from the film at times.
But aside from that and a cheese factors, and a few minor plot problems, I thought this may end up being my favorite science-fiction film of all time. Yes, even over 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Bladerunner.

As far as the science in the movie, I know all about this stuff, but the fact that they got it as right I guess as could be, that didnt make it a good movie for me.
In fact I would have preferred the science stuff to be all wrong as long as the story was better. I compare this to Contact, which to me is just better in every possible way as far as these types of movies go. It was just a much more interesting story, where here it was just completely empty and lifeless.

Watched this last night. Are we saying that love transcends all we know of science, as though it has a dimension of it's own? And how do you reprogram a watches time signature to give binary data in morse code to work out the universe through cross-dimensional gravity?
I really liked it, but sometimes felt a bit cheated. As though something is trying to be much cleverer than it really is. I do prefer films that ask questions rather than forcing answers down your throat.- he did not program the clock, he moved the thing transcribing the code he was being dictated by tarsernexbcn
- It's a movie.jtb26
- Sorry guys, I forgot it's only a story!Ianbolton
- and if he moved the second hand, transcribing the data, how did it keep moving all those years later? Outputting the data?Ianbolton
- I'm not going to explain the movie to you, watch it again and pay attentionernexbcn
- he could navigate through time on that tesseract, so he basically could go to any point in time of that roomernexbcn
- yeah, I thought so. Was just checking if you guys were paying attention.Ianbolton

Loved it but there's something bothering me, Where is the Cooper Station headed? I thought they were going for Edmund's planet? If they're not, where are they going? If they are, why does Cooper have to leave to get there also? Is there a quicker way that the Space Station can't handle? Staring at those info graphics didn't help..
haters gonna hate

just watched again with subtitles and now i get some of the dialog, a lot of countryside slag goin on, I didn't got it the first time.
but yea, lot of stuff badly explained, some magical aspect goin on...like they got the wormhole for free.
and also a little paradox thinghy goin on, with the messages from the past.
but i like it...i always do like space movies
- the messages were only from the past to coop and amelia. Romilly was 23 years waiting for them.ESKEMA

It would be lot easier for humans to bring everybody and crops underground than going on an almost impossible space mission.
- Maybe there's a film in that story too? http://www.imdb.com/…Ianbolton

I felt really bad for Romley when he said he had waited 24 years for them to come back. And i'm surprised that he's still sane.
- yeah that was terrible, he slept twice and then decided to stay alive to dieernexbcn
- he was acting more pensive and quiet when they returned from planet. that was one of the funny partshotroddy
- that scene reminded me of 2000Ad's Halo Jones comic strip ...

THE LOST CHAPTER OF INTERSTELLAR
Before Cooper left his daughter to find humanity a new home in space, there were the Lazarus missions. Led by Dr. Mann, this was NASA’s first attempt to locate a hospitable exoplanet. So what happened to Mann on the other side of the wormhole? We teamed Christopher Nolan with award-winning comic-book artist Sean Gordon Murphy to tell Mann’s story.

Really enjoyed it. Loved it a lot more than I thought I would.
Also anyone who finds it hard to understand or requires a tacky infographic to explain it - get your shit together, come on.

The third act felt really jumbled, but overall it's a good movie. The conflict with Damon felt unnecessary and unrealistic, and all that love bullshit was trite.
Both the planets they visited were impossible though. If gravity from the star or Gargantua is strong enough to produce 1000ft waves it's also going to pull up the crust and cause perpetual earthquakes and global vulcanism. And layers upon layers of frozen clouds? Ice is heavy, yo.
Great sound editing too.

- Ice isn't heavier than water which are clouds too.monospaced
- We have tons of frozen water in our atmosphere too.monospaced

I wondered about the ice clouds... Imagine they floated due to being stuck together from the ground up, almost like glaciers, or maybe it was due to the ice vs atmospheres chemical makeup / weight or something.
- in some scenes you can see the clouds are connected to the ground. Like frozen waves.VectorMasked
- maybe rainfall was the cause of the clouds and the ground being connectedVectorMasked

maybe i wasn't paying much attention during the scene with the first planet. If they knew 1 hour= 24 earth years, why go there in the first place? Why not just say, "this isnt going to work, next?" Why go there for any data at all? And why does the surface have time dilation? shouldn't the entire system have it, especially orbit?
Also, why did they put the worm hole near saturn and not mars? isn't mars closer?
- 7 years, not 24. They figured they could get down and back in 1 hour.i_monk
- But WHY? if they knew this before going in why not just say fuck it. If the sole purpose was to find a planet that one wasn't it.ArmandoEstrada
- I have a big problem with this too. And they should have known that the first colonizer would have only just arrived.sarahfailin
- They wanted to rescue Dr Whoever.i_monk
- So why the rush for the data. the planet is useless.ArmandoEstrada
