Cause if you can't pay attention and really concentrate on it... it spits you out like "whaaaaat?".

And if you concentrate... it still kinda does it.
Had to look some explanations up for some things afterwards in all honesty.

So definitely a "tomorrow" movie.

Been looking forward to watching it for a while now. Hopefully it lives up to my expectations.

My God...

Interstellar makes my mind hurt. Downright amazing movie.



I agree with Nippelspanner. Watch when you're mentally fit.

[Cybermat47]

Yeah, Interstellar was amazing

What blows my mind is that the stuff in that movie is theoretically possible, according to the bit of research I did on the movie. They brought a bunch of scientists in who wrote up a bunch of equations and fed them directly to CGI people and writers and such.

Black holes, singularities...TIME?! *head explodes*

Child's play for a Doctor Who fan!

Back to the topic, yes Interstellar is a amazing movie. One of the first thing I read it was that was a bit predictable and possibly is. When I was seeing I began to could it be that.... One sees so many time travel and si-fi stories that can began to see when a particular film is taking the same route.
The robots are quite good and fun, TARS humour level - !
Apparently Cris. Noolan brother and co-writer, wanted a dark ending to the story, but his brother didn't like it and decided to go to the "happy ending", if one call it that!
The soudstrack is also amazing! One of my favourites!

As I said it is a great movie, Nippelspanner put words into it.

I tried watching Interstellar, but I stopped at the part where they were on the first planet, just kinda standing there fully knowing there was a huge wave coming. Why they did that? Because the plot says so. Oh and their ship seemed fully capable of taking off from Earth like planets, so why did they use all the booster rockets to get to Earth orbit at start? Lazy writing.

Rewatched Hot Shots Part Deux for the billionth time, still makes me laugh my butt off.... such a great movie.

Hmm.. what else... Oh, I started watching Fury. Seemed like a decent movie, but then I got to the part where they attack the little forest and everyone seems to be wielding blasters from Star Wars (daylight, yet tracers are brightly visible and everyone seems to use them), so I kinda stopped watching it there.

Also saw Edge of Tomorrow, liked it very much. Finally someone tries something "kinda" original. It worked very well.

Please, please, please watch on and finish it.
Let someone bind you in a chair with matches in your eyes, forcing you to watch, please...
Cause the rage about the final scene would be worth reading...

If the 'Star Wars' scene pissed you off already (same here), you will implode about the final scene.

It must be seen, trust me...

Oh, I will watch it all the way through some day.

I started watching the movie fully aware that it would not be historically accurate. I liked the cast, hell I even liked Labeouf!
But that tracer scene was just so sloppy.. it's like the VFX guys just had seen Star Wars and though "Those look like tracers, right?".

But yeah, I'll see it and likely come back to bitch about it some more eventually.

PS. You Germans really need to make a tank movie. Your war movies are always great.

I figured they launched them on booster rockets to preserve as much of the fuel on the actual craft for the mission itself (they were probably using super-futuristic engines that can eat any atmosphere for reaction mass, so that wouldn't have been a problem). Probably had a decades-old rocket lying around and decided that they really didn't have a better use for it.

Gotta finish the movie! If you're gonna rewatch a movie, I say rewatch this before you rewatch Fury.

Also saw Edge of Tomorrow, liked it very much. Finally someone tries something "kinda" original. It worked very well.

I really really liked that movie. Tom Cruise did something that didn't suck.

[Rhodes]

Still have to see that! Possibly today or tomorrow!

Dowly, do try to see the Interstellar again, but you are right in the first planet scene, but for me was more about what happens there before they return to the ship!

Short summary of the stuff I've recently watched:

The Physician - Great movie, love the story and the cast does a great job bringing it on screen. Love how it potrays some of the things that was happening around that time.

Predestination - Now this was something that took me a while that it wasn't about what I was expecting but what it gave me in return when I started to get the picture was very good. Well paced and kept me glued on the screen till the credits rolled.

John Wick - Holy crap on a cracker...a Action that flick that delivers
It's been a while since I enjoyed a good action flick with a plot to get behind and just goes through till the end.

Calvary - Great film, Gleeson does a bang up job potraying a priest who's threatened to be killed by someone who had been sexually abused by one in the past and instead of killing a ''bad'' priest more shocking would be to kill a good one as Gleeson is in a small village with some interesting characters that live there. Great story, characters and the tone this movie carries.
