NOPE we have to go to another planet in another solar system, we send 6 people who will some how, some how, do a planetary survey studying the weather patterns, proximity to the sun, tilt of the planet to gather data on seasons, then begin the process of constructing habit domes for the colonists (who will somehow get there but lets not get logic into this right?) considering they don't know how many colonists would be arriving, they possibly don't have two way communication so they don't know if they completed their mission so there is a huge possibility if they fail we would just be sending hundreds of people to their deaths.
Am I the only one who doesn't particularly like the premise? Nothing in our solar system can save us? Anyone who knows anything about colonizing space will know this, water is the key factor in the sustaining of any viable population. We have many places within our own solar system that house massive bodies of water, we also have many rocks, planets and asteroids which would supply us with the necessary means of sustained industrial capability. We would also be performing genetic and cybernetic enhancements to the humans as gravity has a huge impact on muscle degradation, plus humans would probably need double or triple the life span to ensure human survivability in such hostile environments.

in the not to distant future we can use genetic code communicated digitally to download onto a large more advanced 3D printer to a have a fax of men do the exploring and establishing of a bridgeheadWe have the tech to do all that unmanned, including building habitats using mobile 3D printers.

They could have gone with a more realistic premise and the drama could have ensued the first humans reaching the new colony just after it's been built.

This is what bothers me, if this movie came out during say the 90's I would of completely understood why they were thinking that way. Now? Well maybe I'm just getting tired of pointing over to the real world science and saying "Yeah the stuff of fiction you are creating is surpassed by a few decades in the real scientific world." This is what always gets me, why do these people have to be just human, we by our very nature are fragile, space is an unforgiving hostile place and an alien world is slightly less than that, why can't we see the transhumanism aspect thrown in, in that to save the human race a few individuals must undergo enhancements which would change them for the rest of their lives.
I'm for anything that launches Matthew Mcconaughey off this planet.

So, everyone I've talked to who has seen this movie said it was slow anslow paced, "dead in spots". Not making me want to see it.d disappointing. Yeah, I'm looking forward to catching this one by accident on HBO on some boring sunday afternoon whenever it hits.

got to keep in mind though the minimal attn spans of most americans these days
if something doesn't blow up in the opening scene, followed by sex and then more explosions--the movie sucks
similar things were said about OBLIVION and Tom Cruise aside-it was actually pretty good
but yes--i will spend no more money then I already do on HBO and my netflix and AmPrime subscriptions--and wait for it
After watching Oblivion quite a few times, I just do not understand why it got bad reviews. It was actually AWESOME. Lots of rewatch potential, excellent story and writing AND acting. But some of the big bucks productions just fall flat with me even if audiences liked them.

I admit I wasn't interested in Oblivion at all because of Tom Cruise, who is a good actor but I just don't care for him as a person. Then I saw the flick and really liked it. It wasn't perfect but for the most part it was well made and it kept my interest. And you're right, unlike a lot of movies today this one actually has rewatch potential.
that's what I mean..perhaps INTERSTELLAR will be like OBLIVION in that way--the nincompoop short attn span american will say they both suck while ppl more like us who tend to pay more attn liked OBLIVION and I am guessing we will like INTERSTELLAR as well
Again, ppl thought OBLIVION sucked because not enough explosions or murderous CGI aliens and not enough sex
and, like some other good sci fi movies--everything isn't spoon fed on OBLIVION--another thing American audiences absolutely HATE! Do not make them have to think or they will trash your movie forever
Yeah, huge bomb.

When I refer to a bomb, I am NEVER talking about money. I am talking about substance, writing, perception, critical and social commentary, etc. Steve Jobs was a multi-billionaire, and was a horrible person and an asshole. Success should not be measured by money alone. Box office bomb means money, sure. But it also means visceral and worldwide opinion, huh?
Two questions:
- Have you seen it?
- If you dont like it, are you wrong because it made more than $500m
Worldwide, this dreck has pulled in over 560m so far. Avatar pulled in over 1bn and it is a piece of shit.
