Anyone else really loving listening to the film score from the movie? It's been my go-to working music at work for the past week since it came out.
I am a massive fan of good film scores, and there's something really wonderful about hearing it after seeing the movie. Can remember moments, buildups, emotional crescendos, etc. and sort've picture the movie in my head. Makes me want to see it again.
- yes. Hans Zimmer's hommage to Koyanisqatsi from Philip Glass.tank02
- nice, I'll have to grab a copydorfsman
- On Spotify. Really great! Thanks!monospaced

Great vibe, fantastic visuals, unbelievably corny, packed with pretend science, naiive dialogue, and splattered with speeches repeating ad nauseum the words "mankind" and "humanity".
I can take the sailing the cosmos of cheese part, but what wasted this film on me, was how stupid it was.
The girl saw a gravitational phenomenon displaying stripes... let's interpret them in binary and... hell, why don't we assume those are coordinates. How did you come up with this, genius? And... ok, how did you know which ones were zeroes and which were ones, huh?
How convenient the place was only a short ride away...Cool robot sidekicks in the most impractical shape imaginable, funnier than Jar-Jar? Sign me up!
"How did you get here? It's the most restricted area on the planet! And hey, wanna fly into space as the captain for the most important mission in history? We were gonna call you, but didn't... glad you popped in, actually."
A mission pilot who after two years needs an explanation what a wormhole is with a sheet of paper and a pen, but then uses a black hole as a gravitational swing to pick up some speed (and a hundred years) like he's done it a hundred times?
Then he falls into a black hole without being shredded to pieces, let alone losing consciousness?
Besides...
http://www.nature.com/news/steph…- to be fair no one has any fucking idea what would happen in a black hole.********
- They do. The gravity would tear you apart long before you'd reach the hole itself.raf
- They really don't********
- They don't know what's inside, but they know the gravity around is a killer. They're detected by the enormous gravity.raf
- Not if you were traveling very fast.Morning_star
- I mean the speed you enter the blackhole will determine your survival or not.Morning_star
- REMINDER: Films are made for learned astrophysicists who already know all of this stuff. It's for the masses that want to be entertained for a couple of hours.toemaas
- entertained. The close to 11 million people who have seen it up to this point don't know 2 squirts of piss about astrophysics and need to be explained by characters in the storytoemaas
- and need to be explained through characters and story. Not being ripped apart drives the story.toemaas
- Wormhole could be explained with paper and pen to a civilian or a kid without the need to make the movie stupid.raf

I really enjoyed the whole thing, despite all the obvious paradoxes they outlined. I was not happy with how they didn't fully explain how he got from the tesseract to Cooper Station, though. That would have been pretty interesting, in my opinion.
Also love the soundtrack. Like someone else said, listening to it during work is a really nice experience.

yeah, i think there was too much build up and the ending didn't feel quite right.
also the visual representation of the the black hole scene didn't fit well with this film for me. were the visuals an abstraction of matt's manipulating space and time to communicate with murphy OR are we to believe he was literally pushing books with his fingers?
everything else i enjoyed, particularly the visuals on miller's planet.
- SteveJobs0
cool, how? looked like he was pushing them
- (if i remember correctly)SteveJobs
- he was operating on a dimension we can't experience, which is time-space/gravitymonospaced

It was pretty good but I thought Enders Game dealt with some of the physics better and was a more rounded realistic movie. Good effort though, the sequel may fill some of the holes next year.

- Enders game didn't really deal with the same kind of physics and interstellar definitely did a better job at gravity realismmonospaced
- < lol - yep i was being sarcastic.fadein11
- you missed mono's ever present sarcasmdoesnotexist
- Ender's Game was one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. What holes?formed

"The manipulating gravity/time stuff is some hardcore Sci-Fi. I couldn't believe it actually went there." inteliboy
that's kind of where i'm coming from. i guess some of the concepts in this film aren't meant to explain only what we know but what could be... but this one was a reach for me, particularly the way conceptualized it visually.
- 100% agree. The filmmakers had some balls going there. I think they pulled it off welltwooh

Well regardless of the accuracy of the physics and such, the soundtrack is great; makes me feel some type of way. Thank you Hans Zimmer. I just purchased the "Illuminated Star Projection Edition," with all sorts of extras and 35 minutes of unheard audio :) First music I've paid for (besides Spotify) in years. Can't wait.
- Really want the vinyl for my post-apocalypse music collection.BrokenHD

Anyone seen the Wired issue Nolan edited yet?

Came out on BD yesterday and gave it a whirl again, even though I didnt love it the first time I saw it. Felt extremely slow in the theater.
It was better the 2nd time around watching it more comfortable at home. I remembered once again why I cannot stand mcconnaughey, He mumbles throughout the entire movie. And its even worse when hes trying to explain all this heavy handed science stuff. Seriously miscast for this kind of movie. He was better in Contact because it was a smaller role, he wasnt the lead trying to deliver this complex plot.
I still think its one of Nolans worst movies, but its still a decent movie, just could have been a bit better. I know Spielberg was originally going to do this movie and have a feeling it might have been a little quicker and more interesting if he did it.

Awesome movie, always love a good cerebral from Nolan.
I think all the sci-fi/space travel was a mask for a deeper meaning in the movie.
Any hoot, good stuff.

Such a trip.

One of the best I've seen in a while, one of his best I think also.
People forget that it's science fiction not science. The film plays out like its all credible stuff, but then there's some twists, typical of any good works of fiction. You either except this or your against it because it's now straying too far from all the logic you felt it percieved earlier... and thats were I think you either love or hate this film.
