Interstellar

Spoiler

How does anyone aside from McConaughey survive for him to visit later in the film once he goes into the black hole? If the time dilation from being on a planet close to the BH shifted him 30 years from outside observers, how did going past the event horizon not shift his age infinite years? Visit his dying daughter? He should have been visiting a new species...

because the people who built the tesserect can f with time they simply placed him where he needed to be

that was all explained in the movie

i LOVE Children of Men.

It can't explain both Brand and Murph. If Murph was 80-100 (70-90 years different), Brand can't still be 30 (as shown).

Murph and Brand were on completely different time dilations

[Anubis]

it can,

Spoiler

the slingshot past the black hole + journey to the planet was somewhat quick for Brand but took decades in murph time. yes brand is older but only by some handful of years vs decades

Just watched it, great movie!

I just saw it today too and loved it. Glad I waited to watch it on Amazon rentals. A 3 hour film can be hard to sit through without getting up every so often.

It's already been made clear that the time dilation has nothing to do with the planet's velocity.

True, but what would be the orbital speed of an earth-like planet in that sort of gravity well? From what I understand, the planet orbits at 0.55c.

Aside from the issue of accelerating to and targeting an object at that speed, I'm curious as to what kind of macroscopic effects that speed and tidal stress would have on the planet. Would an atmosphere survive? It would likely be tidally locked, would the planet itself survive? Would the accretion disk vaporize it?

Also, wouldn't they have figured the time dilation would mean the first craft had only been there a short amount of time in the planet's reference frame?

Lots of interesting questions.

just finished watching it. i had to watch it in 3 sittings since we had our first kid last thursday, but we got around to finishing it. when i have the chance i'd like to watch it all in 1 viewing because i was a tad confused throughout, and the end was a bit confusing to me, although i think i got it.

i think my overall favorite thing about the movie is the musical score. i loved every bit of it and music was just amazing. even the menu music on the bluray i liked. when i first heard that i knew i would like the music in the movie.

i also think that the sound track had too much bass. i had to turn it down at multiple scenes due to me fearing for my houses foundation (and the sleeping baby upstairs).

Isn't that really beyond the scope of what the movie was trying to explain?

Agree on all counts. Watched in true IMAX (not lieMAX) and the docking scene was incredible.

That is how I will chose to remember this movie.

And not for the fact the ending is ridiculous.

Or the fact the characters and dialogue are not very well written. Really enjoyed the middle space sequences though. Huge fan of the giant waves for some reason; loved that part.

yeah that part with the big ass waves was awesome. i do find it odd how they didn't see them when landing, yet 2 of them come like back to back so it's not like they were that far apart. and the water being super shallow with such huge waves was pretty awesome too.

while visually stunning, it was too loud, i almost had to cover my ears (me watched in true iMax also)

They did see them but they thought they were distant mountains. On approach they appeared to be still due to time dilation.

 

[Anubis]

too loud in IMAX??

the F is wrong with you people

i saw it in a 70mm film IMAX and it was perfection


i have it on BR and bass output and overall SQ is fing incredible

I saw it in IMAX and there were a couple scenes so loud they were literally painful.

 

[andylawcc]

I am not dogging the sound quality and the score, it's just too loud during the docking scene.

you should've taken the ear plugs out of your purse

 

[SAWYER]

I watched it and wow did it turn dumb as hell

 

[PlanetJosh]

Were you able to watch it on an HD screen? My HD television is not on Amazon's list for HD so I watched the movie on Apple's iTunes on my desktop PC hooked up to a 40" Hdtv.

don't hate cuz i am fabulous.
