I was hopeful for Interstellar when I heard Kip Thorne was involved. Alas, the movie comes off like a riff on 2001: A Space Odyssey made by someone who watched that film but did not understand what they watched at all.
And....welcome to GateFans!
Yeah, that's what one gets for participating in a group trip to the theater - you pretty much have to watch what the group watches.
I still have not seen it . A friend did and his first words were ( it's a real long movie ) . Nothing else was said .
Guess I'll hold off then and wait for the small screen .
Just got back from seeing Interstellar . I actually liked it . Not a superstellar liked but liked just the same .
What did you like about it? I didnt hate it but I did not like it.
It just left me flat - no love no hate really nothing. It's like I said a bit back - it felt like the writers watched 2001: A Space Odyssey but did not understand it and then tried to make their own version of it. BTW, I didn't especially like 2001 myself - I thought 2010 was a better film...:encouragement:
Maybe the reputation around here isn't something to get excited about. How did it get that high this fast?
We used to be more heavily into giving rep around here but since we updated to the latest Xenforo template we've all sort of defaulted to using the "Agree" or "Like" type of emoticons on each post.
At first I laughed at the design of the robots when they were first introduced in the movie. The robot was doing a bad cop interview which I found ridiculous and hilarious. But later on, I was able to witness how freaking useful and effective they were, and their designs was very awesome. Loved their humour.
AlsoFucking Matt Damon from out of nowhere! Man, when he got shot out of the ship after he tried to get in, I jumped.
I had read "Do not go gentle into the good night" long time ago and liked the many metaphorical aspects that poem could be read as. Was pleasantly surprised at how it was used in the movie. Hopefully, the youth of this generation will rage, rage against the dying of the light (in this case, the light being math and science education, and how they've become very infected with capitalistic/business influences).
You can't have much science without capitalism.
Yes you can. It was that way long before there was money. Only unnecessary "desired" technology needs money.
