Interstellar (2014)

Do you see your children now, Tele?

 

I'm sorry, my incredibly lightweight and breakable visor is fogging up a bit from the cracks.

The worst part about that line is that it really should've been done visually with Cooper actually seeing Murph's face. Normally, I'm not bothered by Nolan's exposition, but that was the worst scene of exposition/dialogue he's ever written, imo.

Pretty visuals but messy and unnecessarily convoluted story/plots (Nolan could benefit directing someone else's script for a change).

Solid to good acting performances all around. The third act with the reveal of Damon's character kinda reminds me of the third act in Sunshine. And just like that one it's also problematic.

Overall though the movie is pretty engaging and entertaining with some emotional beats that really hits. And I also admire the ambition and vision that Nolan is thriving for. The movie is not quite there in terms of achieving those, but it's a very solid outing that's worth the effort.

B+/A- Will try to see it a second time to see if it improves upon rewatch.

At the moment though, I'm partial towards Sunshine. Even though I know its third act is problematic, I'm more forgiving towards it cause both the first two acts were just superb. And also cause I have rewatched that movie quite a lot of time so the sudden shift in tones/genres are not quite as sudden as the first time anymore.

Will see if Insterstellar will be the same case.

My favorite thing about Sunshine is when they transfer over to Icarus 1 and they flash for a frame at a time a quick red tinted photo of the whole crew. beyond terrifying.

5 Fs? Really?

 

GTFO.

 

I'm restarting this again.

This will be the sixth time we have started the INTERSTELLAR review thread and we have become exceedingly efficient at it.

For now...

Take my Nolanite card away. But don't ever say I can't be objective. And that's not to say this opinion can wildly change either way with multiple viewings.

This saddens me greatly.

That's exactly the emotion I got from your avatar.

Wait, what? Why?

Heat Al Pacino is glorious. I refused to hear otherwise.

Of course he is! He doesn't exactly look sad right the, though.

Ah, got it

Okay, let me try that again

I'm like Jessica Chastain right now, jaded and cynical after Nolan abandoned me.

 

But one day Nolan gon' speak to me in binary and I'm gonna go "EUREKA MOTHERFUCKER" and then say "Chris Nolan, you da man"

 

Hopefully I won't be 90 something years old when it happens

Wasn't she like 30 at that point?

 

Meant to ask you. So that real IMAX road trip. Disaster? Was thinking it would be pretty damn funny if your friends ended up liking it more than you.

I think they might have liked it more than me

 

But it was a good trip.

Sounds like they weren't mad at you for dragging them along. That's good.

If they were, they didn't show it. We were discussing the film for a good hour trying to get the logistics of everything down.

 

Many things were said about Matt Damon, the best of us.
