Cool. Someone gave me tickets for tomorrow. I will no longer look at this thread for fear of spoilers.

Re: Interstellar Movie
Interstellar was also a great 1980's arcade game with some of the best state-of-the-art graphics for its time. In fact, I think it was the first laserdisc arcade game... the music and sound effects in it were fantastic! In fact, just found this...

Re: Interstellar Movie
"They" (5th dimensional beings) are the gods, who have mastered the laws of our universe and have powers that transcend space and time, and they communicate to us to help us progress, but they are "us" in the future, before we gain those powers and become gods, only to use it to help our own descendents also progress to where we are, and so on, worlds without end.
Really was a great movie that makes you feel like you entered and exited a wormhole yourself when you walk out of the theater, which really was Nolan's design.
Some moments were more powerful (on both intellectual and emotional grounds) than others, but it reached new depths and heights never before done in the sci-fi genre. Bravo, Nolan. A million times better and more powerful than 2001.

Re: Interstellar Movie
If so maybe people should watch "Transcendant Man" (there are sources on the internet) before they see the movie. It is a documentary about trans-humanism.iamse7en wrote:"They" (5th dimensional beings) are the gods, who have mastered the laws of our universe and have powers that transcend space and time, and they communicate to us to help us progress, but they are "us" in the future, before we gain those powers and become gods, only to use it to help our own descendents also progress to where we are, and so on, worlds without end.

Re: Interstellar Movie
Physics is a big interest of mine so that plays into me liking the movie so much, in addition to Nolan's writing and directing eye and story telling.
Time being represented in a 3D physical space is interesting and the subject of relative time being shown was cool

Re: Interstellar Movie
A good deal of topics in the movie are espoused by Kip Thorne a physicist from Logan UT. He was a producer on the film too

It couldn't possibly be better than Memento, could it?
Memento was good though

Re: Interstellar Movie
Just got back. It was really good. Not quite the level of "The Big Lebowski," but still really good.

Re: Interstellar Movie
Couldn't get the stupid movie out of my head all day today. I went and saw it again tonight (not IMAX this time, which was nice because I feel like I could understand the dialogue a bit better, though not 100% better).
It is even better the second time. I was able to process and take it in much better without all the stress. All of the themes on multiple dimensions hit me like a ton of bricks and had me crying at multiple times in the movie. Loved it. Think I'll see it again before it leaves the theaters.

Re: Interstellar Movie
My 11 year old asked if we could go see Interstellar. He's talked about wanting to study astrophysics in college and this movie seems to be in that sphere. What's the verdict on it being kid friendly?

Re: Interstellar Movie
While likely not suitable for young children due to thematic elements they would not understand I think it would be fine for children 10 and up. No sex or nudity, very little violence, some mild language but the only driven by the extremes of the situation where people really would use that sort of vocabulary nothing that a 10 year old would not have heard befor on the street I suspect.Lance wrote:I need to know the answer to this as well.CrushBlock wrote: What's the verdict on it being kid friendly?
The movie is very long at 3.5 hours so take that into account and it deals with complex and serious matters. It a good movie, as great as Citizen Kane or some of the other classics of cinima? Only time will tell.

I'll see it again. Reading Kip Thornes material will help gel all things together the second time I expect

Re: Interstellar Movie
I enjoyed the movie....I would not classify it as one of the greatest of all time. It's ok. Some scenes seemed long.

Re: Interstellar Movie
I really enjoyed Nolan's treatment of space-time. Having Cooper take the necessary risks to save the world, including Amelia Brand (Anne H) and keep his promise to his daughter along the way with that 90% truth telling that completely pulled my heartstrings and floored me. Nobody knows what happens on the "other side" of a black hole. Well, obviously, you'd get pulled in, crushed and killed. But because time is irrelevant inside a black hole and the soul lives on, of course we become "5th dimensional beings" who can affect the course of events along any point in linear time. That's what exalted beings do.
