I hate sci fi in general, this shyt felt like 'Armagdeddon' and 'Signs'….I am sure it has it's merits, and I loved some of the performances, MM and his daughter were great, the direction and visual aspects were amazing enough, but I left about an hour and a half in, maybe I was too tired, or not in the mood, but I just couldn't fukk with it. The awful dialogue once they were in the mission, that fukking robot the obligatory video screen messages, I just couldn't do another hour and half, of underdeveloped characters pondering their existence, and saving the world. I just don't care. Maybe I will go back and and check it again, but I really doubt it…it's just not for me. Was laughing that MM didn't even change his fukking clothes, just got right to it.
That's what ruined a potentially great film. You don't give a fukk about anybody in it. As something as unprecedented as important and y'know saving the human race, you want to be empathetic towards the struggle on the most grandest scale possible. It doesn't even begin to touch the surface. All the visionary was used on how it looked and none on how it should be felt.

Insanely ambitious...intermittently brilliant...pretty entertaining...

The score was obnoxiously overbearing. The sound mix was fukking awful. Many scenes were rendered completely unintelligible by the noise. In some scenes I could buy it being intentional...but in others entire bits of conversation were essentially lost. Even the final bits of voiceover were nearly drowned out by the score.

I saw it in 70mm IMAX, so that may be exclusive to those prints...or even my theater possibly. But overall it was an assaultive audial experience.

And all the talk of fifth dimensional gravity ghosts left me pretty :shaq2:

Michael Caine was miscast. He's great...but he's already 81 years old. Don't make me believe he survives a 23 year time lapse in a world with no food lol

Probably a 7/10 overall....but I have to drop it to six because of the abysmal sound mixing. And the IMAX screening spends too much time cutting away from the gorgeous fullscreen shots and back to the normal aspect ratio of the internal shots. Too bad.
don't you dare give it that 6 in your sig breh :ufdup: :birdman:

and we all know you're gonna cop the blu :jawalrus:

Excellent film but I wish they would have elaborated on certain subjects in the ending. What happened to earth? His son, how in the hell did they end up orbiting Saturn? How did they transport the people? I think he could have killed a lot of nonsense and focused on those areas

Or maybe pay half attention to the movie. Earth eventually became one planetary desert. You know this because it was what it blatantly implied. His son died along with his family due to his pigheaded acceptance of mankind's fate is to die here, which was also blatantly implied. What was implicated OUTRIGHT is Murph figuring out the missing link of the equation to redefine gravity and the space station(s) was/were able to leave earth on some Noah's ark (think of the movie WALL-E). Also, the 5th dimensional being transmitted Cooper back to Saturn's orbit. If the was "how" is supposed to be ambiguous, but largley hinted that he was dead once he entered the black hole and the Tesseract served as purgatory.

Movie was OK..Murph and the robot were the only characters worth caring about. It wasn't bad but nothing special to it, so let's kill all the 2001 comparisons.. Not even close

I am beginning to think people are overrating 2001: A Space Odyssey a bit TOO hard. Yes, it was a revolutionary film... but lets not get carried away as if this was a realized masterpiece the moment it hitted theaters and it did not have any flaws it damn self, or the fact it is STILL one of the move confusing films ever made.
