Chris Nolan's next film: Interstellar

[Silver Surfer]

Yeah, but if they show us aliens it could be another "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" situation

no way....they clearly are showing them land on a planet or planet(s)..I just hope they see something intelligent or ...what if they find that the aliens on the new planet already left for the same shyt!!!!!!!

 

[Silver Surfer]

My biggest criticism of Nolan is sometimes I feel his films lack a certain emotion that great directors before him can convey. This film seem to be his most emotional yet. Also Nolan action sequences could use work.

I agree...the casual fan liked the batman fights...but that shyt look so fake to me....now them kidney shot bane gave Batman were crucial

 

[Silver Surfer]

Did the black guy age while he was sleep......the science....

 

[Roid Jones]

I just hope they show some damn aliens..and dont leave us hanging like in Contact

There will be no aliens, the ending will be earth is doomed but our consciousness will be transported to another dimension

He has a super hardcore fan base. More than any other director besides maybe Quentin Tarantino? Actually probably more, because Tarantino fans are quirky enough and have enough sense of humor to not insist that anyone who doesn't like his work is stupid.

Have you ever seen the Nolan fans forum? It's hilarious.

There are a ton f things about Nolan I love. I dig that he doesn't do 3D. I like that he tries to use live action, stunts work, and models as much as possible instead of CGI. I think he has some really creative ideas. I don't like the way he films fight sequences.

I think he films way too close into the action, to the point where it can be hard to see what's going on. I think the Bane vs. Batman fight scene was overrated. When he actually does back the camera up to show the action there are a LOT of blows that blatantly don't connect.

I wish he'd use blood. There are scenes he films where he literally doesn't even fore blanks. A gun will just point and then you'll hear the sound effect, and see someone fall down with no blood or squib at all.

still love nolan though don't come for me stans

I'm real interested to hear that rant

i cant find it

anyway, the hate it gets i think is slightly overkill.

@TheGodling almost killed my love for it when he pointed out about how they could have done more with the dreams, but then again most of what we dream are somewhat realistic so it makes sense for it to not be too over the top dreamwise.

the cinematography was solid. writing alright. acting was good (save for marion ). i think its a solid flick and DOES have replay value. i think some people dont like the nolan fans, so they go extra hard on his films to compensate

the wardrobe alone

I think Nolan is brilliant film mind and for the most part I've enjoyed all his work. But the length's people go to defend his work is very sickening to me. You can enjoy someone's work without going overboard. Mind you it was Nolan Fans that sent death threats to critics cause they gave "The Dark Knight Rises" bad reviews. It's pretty pathetic.

the only film of his that gets the meh from me

im a "nolan fanboy" but this i can agree with. the emotional aspect of inception failed horribly. or maybe i just didnt like Marion C. in that movie at all

Yeah but I do give him a little credit for trying in Inception. I felt he tried to force the emotions in Rises with Alfred but it still didn't pay off. I always wonder what Nolan went thru in his childhood cause his films feel very cold overall emotionally. But this film from the Instellar trailers I feel he's speaking to me emotionally for the 1st time.

The whole emotional thing I never cared less for mainly because some of my all time favorite directors, aside from Nolan, tend to have their movies LACK true emotional grit. Maybe that's also why these director's never won an Oscar in their category either. If the main complaint with Nolan the majority of his films lack emotion, then he fits right in with Kubrick, Hitchcock, and Leone!

Also, I LOVE Inception. It is crazy how anyone can say it lacked replay value along with The Prestige when both films when you watch again you always find something new you haven't noticed before. Inception is so multi-layered that you HAVE to watch it multiples times with a different perspective than the first.

 

[gluvnast]

But I WILL AGREE, his weakest aspect his how he direct hand to hand action. Yet it never damaged the film as a whole. TDK trilogy is still one of the best trilogies ever released.

See, now that's totally true about The Prestige. The stuff with the hats, the early hints when Jackman and Bale discuss other magicians, the rugged on/off relationship with his wife/mistress, every time I watch it I pick up some new detail that has me like .

Inception though, is a movie that explains everything. Every concept, in the exact context it's used in the movie. The first time you might be kinda at it because it's new to you, the second time you're (or at least I was) seeing there really isn't more to it. That movie sorely misses moments where you, the viewer, discover something new that hasn't already been told to you, because there aren't any.

Also, I can't get over this scene.



What's wrong with it, you wonder? Well, the fact they're brainstorming at the beginning when exactly to get at Fischer, then Saito seemingly thinks of the plane ride Fischer takes. They discuss the details, what's going to be necessary to make it happen, and then Saito goes "I bought the airline" to solve all their problems at once. But since the same conversation they started 30 seconds ago, when the hell did he do that? Did he buy it beforehand which would make no sense since they were brainstorming ideas, or did he do the deal on his smartphone in the ten seconds the others were talking the details?

It's such a small, insignificant thing but it bothers me to this day. When did Saito buy that fukking airline, brehs?

It's all Cobb'd dream!

J/k, I have no idea, but that's a great question

J/k, I have no idea, but that's a great question

But that's actually plausible though

Everything would have worked out so he was able to see his kids again, which makes sense for a dream.

But fukk it, it was a good film to me.​

What bothers be about inception is there's no suspense. I mean there is but its fabricated. The whole chase scene in the van. Dudes are shooting at this van for what seems like hours. But there's no danger. Its not even real. Its just a way to fill the gaps with action that has no meat to it. If that makes sense.
