Interstellar

Re: Interstellar

I did find the soundtrack way too loud in some scenes, to the point I couldn't hear any dialogue. We were in IMAX to the right and the speakers were right above us, my friend had fingers to her ears.

The entire exposition by Brand on 'love' and Cooper picking that up later was a major fail to me, but I didn't find it 'Contact'-ish at all. I think that particular theme has been set up well between Cooper and Murph, hinted at between Brand and Edmonds, and as the movie played out, I think it's clear that 'love' creates that connection between family and people that transcends 'time and space' without a blatant tacky cheesy exposition from Brand. The love theme is more metaphorical/metaphysical for lack of better words, than an actual 'scientific' explanation in the movie's universe.

For some reason Interstellar reminded me of Inception on a grander scale, using gravity as a device instead of dreams.

Didn't Mann want to kill Cooper because he wanted to hijack the Endurance to continue the mission? He can't if Cooper flies the Endurance home.

^ahhh - you are right. I was having trouble understanding/hearing Mann during that scene. I too closed my ears I think on 3 different occasions. Might vary from theater to theater. But our theater, the seats where literally shaking from the bass. It was as if we were there with them in the spacecraft, but just a tad overboard on sound for me, whatever though. I thought the love - time/space thing was interesting for sure. It's not a movie I will soon forget, I probably will buy it on Blue Ray and perhaps see it again in the theaters. The cinematography was epic as well. The color grading really shined in some parts. As an actor myself I have a hard time suspending disbelief because I have been on set a lot by now. The weakest actor I thought was the young Murph, but she was alright. I think Mathew M will get an oscar nomination for this role. What do you all think?

Re: Interstellar

On MM's Oscar nomination, possibly, he certainly delivered ... but I don't remember what else has been good this year

Tempted to watch it again but I fear the 3hrs will feel really long on a second watch. Will wait for it to hit video.

Re: Interstellar

beautiful movie. To add something: the 5th dimension beings in the end are related to stuff from metaphisics and spiritual philosophy.

Re: Interstellar

I wonder how loud it got next to the speakers LOL. I do remember not hearing some of the dialogues but they were not transcendent like a coutn down for example…or a dialogue that was later repeated for second time on one of the message videos.

Mann wanted to be rescued, he knew if he didn't sent out signals that there was a possibility of living in that planet, they would have never rescued him. Coop was about to find that out. It's the third element of this plot that makes the makes the movie more colorful , each character's attachment and love for someone else ( except mann he was in love with himself) its ultimately was is putting the extinction of the whole human race in danger

Re: Interstellar

I totally missed out on Caine's mumbled confession, good thing it was revealed later.

Re: Interstellar

Saw it this weekend, like it a lot. There have been a lot of complaints about the low dialog on imdb. I thought I wasn't the only one since I have bad hearing.

Re: Interstellar

I haven't seen very many movies in IMAX and after seeing this one there I remembered why.. my brain simply can't handle the distortions created by the round shaped screen. During the whole movie all I can think about is how things that should be straight are not.. I am going to have to go and see it again in a normal theater I guess before I can talk about it ..

Anyway, at least it got me thinking about space exploration and today I stumbled upon this

Why Orions launch is the best news for humanity in a long time

The most amazing and inspiring vision of the future Ive ever seen

Re: Interstellar

Hmmm I don't remember round -shaped screens from the IMAXs I've been to?

Re: Interstellar

Some are slightly rounded - but not much - here at least. I wonder wtf said screen is like, that's awful brotha. "The whole movie?" Fuuuuuuck

Re: Interstellar

I wonder how curved the screen he viewed Interstellar on is.

I am shocked the curvature distracted him the entire time while viewing.

That sucks
