Got the pre-ordered piff from Amazon today.:ahh:
Interstellar the God is for the children, brehs.:mjcry:



@MartyMcFly I didn't catch it, but what was the particular reason you didn't enjoy this film? I would of thought this would be right up your alley.


I figured it would be too but I just couldn't get past the lack of character and every line being expository dialogue. And then every character not actually being a character but there to explain everything. Looked gorgeous loved the soundtrack and loved the ideas but the lack of character just kept kicking me in the balls. Then the dialogue didn't help

Which characters do you feel were one-dimensional?

I didn't mind the exposition because I felt it kept the mainstream audience abreast of what was going on. There were some convoluted sci-fi concepts that needed explaining (yet and still some people didn't get it).

I also found it interesting so I didn't mind it. As far as the characters, I thought most of them had a measure of depth to them. Some think the dialogue was on the nose, but I think that was done intentionally...for example, Anne Hathaway's character's "love is the one thing that transcends time and space" speech being an attempt to make her rather selfish desire to see her boyfriend again seem loftier and more profound than it really was...and trying to sway Cooper to that end.

In fact, I thought a pretty prominent theme, particularly in Dr. Mann's case, was pretentiousness. Humans excusing their selfish or immoral actions by acting as if their motivations are purer or more important than they really are I.e. "murdering innocents for the good of humanity".

I don't think it's one dimensional I think it's a lack of character. When every character is used to explain stuff whether it be the themes or the science or the story over and over it shows me that there's no character; they're just ciphers to explain to the audience what's going on. The robots had the most character in the movie.

Bu bu bu buub ub but it's only 90% accurate science...:to:

:camby:Get this trash outta here


All jokes aside great movie. Who else tackles relativity, wormholes, interstellar travel, higher dimensions and black holes in a blockbuster film?

Even Neil DeGrasse said he'd give it an 8 or 9 on scientific accuracy.

Including the higher dimension stuff

All the stuff I mentioned was never blatantly stated, it was all in the subtext. I'm not taking all the statements in this movie at face value, as if all the themes can be summed up in the words of the characters. It is a Nolan movie after all.

Yeah again I get all that. But I just didn't think the characters or dialogue were any good or thought out. Everything else was cool but if I don't have a reason to give a shyt about anything on screen or if your characters have terrible dialogue and in some cases they flat out state everything clearly to the audience, like Matt Damon's character when he started this weird bad guy monologue, I'm checking out

Movie gets better to me on repeats.

First time I saw it the tesseract really threw me off, (loved everything else). While it's still not as strong IMO as the rest of the film, it doesn't ruin the experience for me now, great film.
