Nolan had to have seen Solaris(1972) before he made this. It has more in common with that film than it does with 2001.


this actually took a lot of cues from 2010 space oddesy


someone explain why time moves differently on other planets?

I just saw this now.. The movie is incredible but I must admit while I heard of the concept of Time and space I can't understand it. Like I need someone to explain it to me.

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
So what is the 5th dimension?? As it relates to how we are now on earth
It's a long complicated answer - http://www.bustle.com/articles/4753...w-to-understand-the-films-complicated-physics


Basically it's outside the realm of time and space. When he's in the bookshelf, he's in a few place where all time is visible. The advanced beings limited it the daughters room because they knew that she would be the one to save humanity. But they couldn't tell what time and timeline would effect the past and allow her to do so


He was able to do that cause he knew his daughter. He knew she'd look at the watch. So he relayed the data that the robot got from falling in the black hole first.

That's why he could exist behind the shelf in the beginning, shake hands in the ship, and still be alive in the moment to witness it.


Interstellar is bad science bro

don't think too much on it, the movie falls apart

they actually brought in a scientist from nasa who consulted on the science in the movie. He actually took parts of the movie back to nasa to use as teaching tools

He himself said the "worst" science in the movie is the ice clouds cause nothing could hold them up there. Other than that, he said it was spot on.

Neil Tyson chimed in and said interstellar had the best showing of the theory of relativity ever in a movie
