I thought it was an excellent movie. Nolan should get some Oscars and Wooderson.should to. If you have a daughter it should resonate with you.
Almost 3 hours, but played quick. Go see on 70'm or Imax...not a digital projector, as it was not shot for that format.

Brother, as depressing as the world is with ISIS beheading people and Putin's new cold war, Ebola, etc etc-- man, getting some cool immersive entertainment that maybe also is thought provoking will be welcome. IMAX would be the topping, Gravity in IMAX was intense! But they could show an IMAX Windows 95 screensaver and it would have some entertainment value.
I also LOVED Inception, & agree also it took a couple of viewings to get to that opinion. IMHO movies that challenge you, usually do take a viewing or two-- and are more rewarding for it once you've figured out the puzzle. Or maybe I'm a little slow, I've watched 2001 dozens and dozens of times and that movie is pretty linear.
OTOH, I've sat through a couple of the Transformers (not sure which ones) because my then g/f had a young child. Couldn't even tell you what those were about (the DeceptiCons were the bad guys?). Well, OK-- lots of stuff got smashed like in the 70s Godzilla movies, so maybe I do remember some. Sheesh, am I getting old! LOL
Yeah, there's so many cameos in this film and Nolan kept a lot out of the trailers. Some people will have some WTF moments and without a basic understanding of theoretical physics could find some scenes unbelievable. The film does not beat around the bush with minutia in the film--which I liked. He trusts his audience to understand if a scene jumps ahead in the future. The film covers a lot of Earth time. A lot of space-time relativity is portrayed. On one planet they visit, an hour on there for the cosmonauts equals 7 years their time. Dog years?
Still not sure how that Virgin pilot survived that wreck at 50k feet? His body must of shut down at the beginning to survive the cold and lack of air."? The drop is nothing compared to the elements that high. Pilots have done better tho
I think it was a near perfect movie.
When it gets through and ends up in the (lib….) how cool is that?

1st. 4:00 MST " The Science of Interstellar"
2nd. Same channel at 7:00PM MST "Landing on a Comet; The Rosetta Mission"
Couple questions I have for you guys...
Why would you consider the water planet if it's that close to a black hole? They know a lot about black holes and should know it can't be safe on a planet that near to a black hole. Also, if they know about relativity, they should know that the lady on the planet has only been on the planet for less than 2 hours... This was obvious to me during this sequence; it's why they shouldn't go there in the first place and waste 23 years!
Isn't Mann's planet the obvious choice for exploration? Edmunds planet is where society will go if Mann's ice planet is no good. They kept saying that Edmunds readings were great, meaning it should be their last priority to check.
I believe the excretion disk of a black hole with that event horizon would be much bigger than what they showed when they were maneuvering through it.
And lastly, who put the worm hole there? I won't get into my views on worm holes, but who put it there? And how and when did Cooper get from inside the black hole to back through the wormhole? If he went through and shook Brands hand backward, doesn't that mean he was leaving as he was entering?
That black hole was pretty legit. The data it took to form the rendering created 800 terabytes of information. Awesome.
Thanks to goodness that I took upper level physics in college or i would have blown this movie off
I loved TARS. Humor setting to 100!
15 minutes in I was blown away how stupid it was. Don 't waste your time.
no payoff whatsoever, great cast though.
UNREAL good.
Great acting, great score, mind-blowing special effects, solid plot.
There were some parts I didn't quite understand when I saw it in theaters, but after watching it again (sober this time) it's near the top on my favorite movie list.
If they ever have a second-showing of this in IMAX I'm going no questions asked.
