Chris Nolan's next film: Interstellar

[klientel]

Man my smart-dumb girlfriend tried to explain this to me last night but I don't get it...

Spoiler: Worm holes?

They said early on that worm holes are not naturally occurring so somebody put it there. Turns out, humans put it there because they eventually figured out space and time. But if the earth was dying, how did humans get advanced enough to make a worm hole. If they escaped earth, how did they get to another planet with out the worm hole? Aliens would have made much more sense.

Did you forget when Neil shytted on Gravity?

Mind you, this is basically the same field just with more experimental physics in it.

Yup he definitely shytted on Gravity, and cosigned on this.... so your bytching about how it is flawed on a scientific level is basically moot. I mean, look, it was based off one respected astrophysicist, Kip Thorne, and cosigned by another respected astrophysicist, deGrasse Tyson. So I suggest just accept it as it is BASED on the fact these EXPERTS have no qualms with what was shown on film.

Its not flawed.

1. NDT probably aint want that drama again cause he got a bunch of backlash for it the first time
2. The experimental physics is what he praised, not the attention to "no sound in space" stuff. Thats what Gravity did. Thats nothing new
3. You're shifting the argument here. Everything up until the 3rd hour was the same as Gravity.
4. and no, I don't just "accept it"...this is experimental physics. Trying to represent that visually is already difficult so taking more creative license to mix in obvious improbabilities with very strong intuitions in other areas is a bit insulting

It's called a time paradox. That what happens in anything that involves time travel. You will always end up with the chicken or the egg paradox. But being that "THEY" see time as infinite with no past, present, or future, it is then theorized that it can be an infinite loop. Therefore, things that were created in the future may indeed affect the past... or should I say one day our future will become our past. If that makes any sense. But it's my understanding.

First of all, the SAME GUY that bytched at James Cameron for years and forced him to realigned the stars in Titanic isn't afriad of getting into any drama. If he had issues with Interstellar on a scientific inaccuracy, he would definitely call it out.

2nd of all, both films took a lot of scientific accuracies, which we both praised, but in Gravity and the issues deGrasse Tyson complained about, were NOT anything that were similar to Insterstellar, mainly because they were different films altogether.

OMG breh it's not that serious

You the type of nikka that was a kid and was getting mad at cartoons like the smurfs because the pigmentation of their skin didn't make sense

dude probably stormed away from the tv frowned up and kicked the shyt out of his sister's dolls

I Gotcha, but I still don't understand how THEY advanced to that level in the first place. If it's a loop, there has to be a first iteration that kick starts everything, that's what I don't get

just saw the film. cant believe its getting mixed reviews. enjoyed it alot. basically gave it 10/10. i guess critics have just seen more piff films than me for them to be underwhelmed. were at least 5 amazing visual moments for me. for that alone id give it high marks. the emotional part i guess is not sophisticated enough for some, which is cool. i dont need it to be on the philosophical level 0f 2001 A Space Odyssey. but as entertainment and spectacle man that film was piff. long as fk though, i had to piss for like 10 minutes after it finished.

I'm going again on Monday as some friends want to see it. I have to see this one more time. I hope watching it on a smaller screen won't take away the experience cause seeing it on that 70MM IMAX was insane.

I gotcha... What was interesting was the fact Dr. Brand started NASA discovered that wormhole 45 years prior! We may never know.

I think Nolan gets a kick out of these paradoxes from his films. I think aside from TDK trilogies, all of his films have some kind of ambigous paradox. The ending of Inception, the duplicate vs the real debate in The Prestige, the question of killing a partner accidentally or on purpose in Insomnia, even the question of if Teddy was lying or Lenny was faking it in Memento!

ps, im not generally a big fan of nolan films, this is only the third film of his i like. loved memento, dark knight rises, and intersellar. felt the prestige, inception and the dark knight were not coherent at all and relied on silly twists at the end in the case of the prestige. but man, he has done 3 films i enjoyed a whole lot. his last 2 films he is starting to live up to the hype for me. this film shyts all over gravity which i didnt care for at all except on a mildly interesting level as far as space inhabiting. but intersellar, this is some next level shyt and the ending my goodness.

Time for some Nolan LIST:



#1. Memento A +

#2 The Dark Knight A +

#3. Inception A

#4. Interstellar B +

#5. Insomnia B +

#6 Batman Begins B

#7 The Prestige B

#8 Dark Knight Rises C+



*I have yet to see "The Following" but will.

OH, and FYI.... I think Wally Pfister is out of a job. This Hoyte van Hoytema dude and the way he was working that camera...

If ANYTHING, he deserves an Oscar.
