It's really fucking boring once they go into space.

The story never seems to be working towards a clear or consistent thematic direction

Most of the technical stuff that's intended to be impressive, such as the score and the space effects, felt derivative of existing works.

This.

On top of that, the metaphysics threw the scientific accuracy they it was trying to be known for out the window.

I liked the movie at the beginning, but most if not everything from the point of MM heading into space was bland or shit.

I mean, I loved the movie but it definitely has some narrative/pacing flaws.

>>67894955

Honestly?

The movie was so grand that it kinda killed future sci-fi movies until Avatar 2 comes out.

>walk into Martian
>seems ok
>boring pop-culture flick

Interstellar was pure epicness in the cinema.

Probably the most awe-inspiring movie Ive seen in a long time.

Correct. You show us a 10/10 astronaut.

This movie was epic in the non meme sense of the word

It was incredible and insirational

Nolans use of music alone in his movies extract tremendous emotion

The gravity in his films have no rival

TDKR is his worst movie and that's not even exceptionally atrocious, unlike the low points of his predecessor greats

I'm being completely genuine

He's the most overrated on IMDB, at least.

>62. The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

That is some serious fanboyism

Who cares what Indians and 14 year olds think?

It felt like an imitation of 'epic' put together by somebody with an idea of what several epic movies looked like, but not a strong understanding of any of the below the surface traits that made those movies so memorable. We've got the score from Koyaanisqatsi and the visuals from 2001, but the heart of neither. Some of the scenes around the movie's climax might have looked and sounded somewhat impressive but I think that when the engine that's driving them is a confused clusterfuck of time-dilation, family values and a non-message about the nature of man (or Mann) it doesn't hit home at all.
>>
>>67895641
In some circles he's so thought of as overrated he is actually underrated.. but I agree that he is definitely overrated on IMDB and he doesn't belong on any best directors lists.

I quite liked Interstellar, but it has very obvious flaws, like it's clunky exposition and out of place sentimentality.

True. There's not a single iconic or instantly memorable sequence in the entire thing, truthfully.

It didn't feel that way at all. The time dilation only added to the emotional pull between Murphy and MC. The problem for me was the sudden calm at the end felt jarring

The movie was alright, but the love stuff was a little lame. Didn't like Anne Hathaway, but I always liked this scene.

Chicken or the egg? Discuss.
>>
>>67896861
I personally think that Scorsese is incredibly overrated, but I think that Nolan coming up there is worse.

Casino, Goodfellas and Wolf of Wall Street are all the same movie, and that movie is shit. They just drag on and on without really feeling like they're working towards something. Instead it's more like plot happens and then keeps happening until it stops. It's like a few episodes taken out of a tv series. Their stories unfold in what I think is a very soap-opera like fashion.
>>
The script wasnt as profound as it presented itself as.

I also read a book that basically had the same elements as this one but didnt have the bullshit about love not being bound by reality. So I never had the same reaction to it that most people did. I think very few people read science fiction books these days and thought this flick had anything new or amazing in it.

The book I'm thinking of is Starfarers by Poul Anderson.

Ill dumb it down, so you can follow.

>Mahogany flies into black hole, because humans on earth need black hole data, to accurately be able to manipulate and harness gravity in order to successfully leave earth
>future 4th dimensional humans have no way to send back the information
>so they send a black hole (near saturn)
>then they hope for mahogany to fly into black hole
>since love is the only constant despite time/space he is the best chance to send back the info to the one person who can solve the gravity equation
>the 4th dimensional beings create a "space library" so mahogany can send back said info

>have walking machines and don't send them to the planets first

Sending the machines to the planets was non-sense, since plan A was always meant to fail.

Plan B was always the real aim.
>>
>love
>>
>>67896967
Never heard of Starfarers, to me the movie felt like a confused combination of Gunbuster, Mission to Mars and Contact with a little bit of Arthur C. Clarke influence thrown in. Or rather, 2001 influence, which was adapted from Clarke's work.

so much why

can you imagine how good this movie would have been if they hadn't done the whole love and FUCKING 5D BOOKSHELF BLACK HOLE thing but instead showed some of the final planet with them coming to terms that they will never go home and abandoning earth?

that robot was fucking OP

it was able to pilot on an unknown planet

communicate from hella far away

communicate clearly

use tools and manipulate handles/switches

move over any terrain

How could he send himself the co ordinates of the nasa building? Surely that's a flaw? How could he be on this space adventure if he hadn't sent himself nasa co ords in the first place? Hence my comment here >>67896919

You clearly didnt understand the movie.

Noone is gonna blame you for not understanding sci-fi, if thats not your favorite genre.

BUT, it is very common for people to dislike things they dont understand. Im not trying to be a dick.
>>
>>67897567
not him btw but I think everyone got the fact that plan B was the real plan. He's just saying the whole magic space library etc. was retarded and you can't just say "well you just don't understand the magic black hole bookshelf"
>>
while in the space bookshelf he sends coordinates to nasa
then he sends dont go....which his past self ignores....and he knows he ignored it because he's in space. i thought this guy was smart

should've just not sent the coordinates
>>
>>67897713
>should've just not sent the coordinates
but then the black hole would never have existed in the first place.

Last 30 mintues were shit.

The exposition is just shoehorned in, instead os being told things through visuals, characters just tell everything about their own world to each other (that scene in the school were they talk about the military and the moon landing feels so forced).
And we even have scientists telling each other things they should already know, just so the audience can keep up, that's just lazy writing.
>>
DUDE SOMETHING WENT WRONG LMAO

I agree, the moon landing thing was really bad. Same with the "wormhole" thing, yeah several NASA astronauts probably know how it is supposed to work before they get sent into one.

>genius physicist woman explains how relativity works when they go through the wormhole, then forgets how physics works so they can justify going down to the planet, then once they're there remembers how it works again and slaps herself on the forehead for being such a silly goose and costing them literally decades in Earth time for what was clearly a dead end

They had what they needed to grow food, they just couldn't because everything on Earth would be killed by the blight that was causing the dustbowl situation. Apparently they had solved growing crops in zero-g, or at least how to generate artificial gravity once in space, but they weren't capable of getting everyone off the planet.

It's a movie that makes plebs feel like patricians.

They could've just grown crops in an isolated environment on earth. That would be a far more efficient way of doing it.

>>67897028
How did the future 4th dimension humans solve the time equation first? Surely in order to get to that point they must have solved it without showing a human now it. Basically its like somehow now having to go back in time to teach cavemen how to make fire for no god damn reason because clearly they learnt because we are here anyway
