Dark Jedi Master 007 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 In the original script it's what leads him to NASA, so it felt like left-overs from that. I guess it shows his hard-on for tech like that but so does the scene with the teachers afterwards. Yeah, on a plot level, I don't think it's needed. On an emotional level, it might be for us to see his bond with his family (cause his daughter and him seem really into it). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsyu Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Does anyone remember what the point of the drone was at the beginning of the film. Like did it have anything to do with what came after? I think it served primarily to show that cooper was a natural when dealing with flying objects but also to show how everything needs to adapt according to different situations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I can t wait for Kip Thorne s book and see what he exactly had in mind, maybe we are all wrong or all right or something in between. I really wonder how many specific details he s gonna give about the final act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancyarcher Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) Truly a magnificent piece of work. A beautiful emotional roller coaster. There were some minor things that annoyed me about this film (some of the story structure for example), but otherwise I thought it was excellent. The performances (especially McConaughey's, who's brilliant), the score (one of Zimmer's best), the visuals, the scope, and the emotions of the film really made Interstellar a big winner for me. Tars was a funny and great character too. That robot stole the show. 9.5 / 10 Edited November 9, 2014 by Pokearcher 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Does anyone remember what the point of the drone was at the beginning of the film. Like did it have anything to do with what came after? What others have said plus the dialogue about it being up there for years reiterated that the world was a different place now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPink Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) For now... B. 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. Edited November 9, 2014 by MrPink 10 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 One thing that was legitimately an amazing moment to me was entering the wormhole. My jaw literally dropped and stayed dropped for the whole sequence. Mind-blowing visuals that are actually impossible to describe. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Old Tele Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) Oh boy... Tentative B- to start with. Parts I really liked.... parts I thought were the worst stuff Nolan's ever done. Like, laughably bad. The ending saves it for me, I think (not the tesseract, the human stuff afterwards). Oh yeah, and I'm 99% sure I sat next to Wil Wheaton.
