Interstellar - Part 4

[Jaspertian1105]

I really miss sometimes the days were there was no post production in the tint of the picture. I think Matrix used a green tint every time they went into it, those choices i understand, but i wish directors used less filters now a days. Snyders over use of it in MOS was too much, it really killed all the rich colors of the suit

 

[Jaspertian1105]

How is exploring new options pessimistic? Nothing lasts forever and the planet certainly won't no matter how much the "power of humanity" has to do with it. I don't look at the planet no longer able to sustain our population with food as a "failure". It's just run it's course and now is the time to find a new horizon/future elsewhere.

Yeah of course we will have to leave the planet (unless we invent a technology that can make the sun burn longer or something like it who knows), but that's thinking in the millions or thousands of years ahead. The trailer shows that we have still fossil vehicles and drones, and even space shuttles that use almost the same tech than today. I think the near future of this story doesn't make it believable , think humanity rises to the challenge at its worse.

besides what are they looking to find behind that theoretical wormhole, space time thing? another dimension with super seeds? alien machines that grow food or restore habitats? the same earth but in a recent past? I don't know were this story is going, its interesting no doubt but something seems off with the whole premise

 

[Rocketman]

You want pessimistic? I'll give you pessimistic: Mankind probably won't last long enough to even discover the option of leaving the planet. If anything, this film is suggesting that humanity has more hope than it really does. For that reason, it probably is an unrealistic film. It's filled with more optimism than it knows what to do with.

The beauty of Sci-Fi... anything is possible.

Ok, saw the trailer. It ain't grabbing me yet.

Soooo....I have a lot of information on Interstellar from a really reliable source. I've never leaked anything before so I don't know the etiquette. I sure don't want to get this person in trouble and I don't think I will. I'm talking about a lot of information.

 

[Alfreds401k]

Alright so here is what I know. A lot of it is stuff we already thought but I can confirm a few things.

Spoiler

1) The footage from the trailer(s) is from the first 3rd of the movie. They are playing it pretty safe with the meat of the footage.

2) Chastain and Affleck are the grown children on MM.

3) MM is not the first person to take this trip. A few other's have gone. Matt Damon being one of them and also Anne Hathaway's husband in the movie. They have not been heard from.

4) Matt Damon's ship is damaged and MM runs into him on another planet. He has been there a while and is apparently out of his mind. He tries to kill MM and take his ship. During the skirmish, MD damages the device that maintains gravity in the ship and the scene that follows is apparently the inception hallway scene on a gross amount of steroids.

5) The ships are not futuristic looking. They are made from scrap material essentially.

6) They film on several different "Planets". They use practical effects for planets such as Iceland etc. We should expect nothing less from Nolan.

7) There are also different dimensions and time warp. Not sure how that is going to come into play but I can only imagine it's going to be awesome. Damon is in another dimension in what seemed to be the future.

8) The space ship has a robot that travels with them and is essentially a exposition device to explain some of the story.

9)MM apparently lands on a planet with a shallow ocean. Just a few feet deep. When he steps out of the ship, he sees water and what looks like mountains in the distance. Come to find out, the mountains are actually an enormous tsunami wave heading right for him. I want to see this badly.

There was stuff that I was told by this person that even they had trouble describing because it was so incredible. They saw this stuff with their own eyes and couldn't comprehend what it was. They also said that the amount of security on set is insane.

Take it for what it's worth. Very very trusted source.

Hate to be this guy but im calling BS on most of this, some are just easy to guess from the trailer (chastain and affleck) and the others are just completely unsubstantiated.

Now I don't know how much made it from the leaked script, but the trailer seems to follow the script quite well, I'll think it's easier to trust that nothing has been changed from it rather than your trusted source for now. (unless you have a history of correct scoops)

Of course it's unsubstantiated. Outside of video evidence, everything is. Did you read the post where I said it confirms what we already assumed?

You realize that you are saying that the script was leaked, my info matches the leaked script, yet you don't trust my source which essentially gave all the info you claimed to have already known from the leaked script. Are you poorly trying to say that you don't think my source exists? If so, you didn't do a very good job of explaining that.

Look, I don't know about a script and frankly I don't care if you believe me when I say that. I also don't care if you believe I have a source. Take it for what it is. If anything, it's confirming that the script hasn't changed (from what you have been inferring). But if you don't believe I have a source and i'm making it up, it doesn't matter.

 

[Deserana]

Well the stuff that is said isn't exactly "out there". I certainly willing to believe it. I'm not expecting it to be true but I'm not immediately calling BS. When it comes to these things and they aren't linking to their own site I have to ask what the point of making it up is.

 

[BatLobster]

I really don't get why people are going out of their way spoil this film for themselves. I feel like it's just setting yourself up to be underwhelmed if you take away the joy of discovery, especially on a big sci-fi movie like this.

And I know, I know...for a lot of people it doesn't matter and it's all in the execution, etc. I still don't get it. I'm psyched to be going in knowing as little as possible.

Yeah, it's pretty crazy. The experience of seeing TDKR two weeks early and watching the forums go crazy trying to spoil every little thing for themselves was...enlightening. Dozens of private messages begging for spoilers

I don't get it either.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Unless Nolan did a COMPLETE overhaul of the script, those spoilers are wrong, wrong, and wrong. Since the script was 90% unchanged from the stuff that has been in the trailers, I will assume that the same will hold true for the rest of the film.

The information about [BLACKOUT]the planet and the shallow ocean[/BLACKOUT]is horribly unimaginative. The version in the script is infinitely more replete with wonder and imagination. If Nolan has indeed changed it to that, I shall be profoundly disappointed. But something tells me this is BS and Nolan has kept the original intact.

Because people are insane. I don't care what anyone says, knowing everything about a film before seeing it does ruin the experience for yourself.

Yeah half the fun of seeing a movie is not nowing what is going to happen. Its would be like a close basketball game and knowing that a guy is going to make a buzzer beater before he dose it.

 

[spiderman2]

I have no idea what this movie is about lol all I no is that chris is doing it and that it is in space lol

 

[CapedCrusader14]

I've made a pact with myself that I am not watching any more trailers or paying attention to promotional material (besides the film score) until this is out, I want to be surprised as all hell when I get into the cinema when this is out.

See this. Every shot had a blue tint added. I dunno whether he did it through dyes or digitally, but the film you see is not how it was shot without manipulation. There obviously was some manipulation, as there always is.

That featurette is interesting and everything, BUT - if you take a good look at the home video versions of The Dark Knight (DVD or Blu-Ray), that blueish tint is actually NOWHERE to be seen (just compare the skin tones and the whites of the screenshot to those in the video) !

Maybe for you it does. For me, if that is all it takes to ruin a movie then the movie was crap to begin with.

I normally go nowhere near such spoilers but chances are they aren't even real anyway cause I doubt a full version of the film is even ready to be shown outside the core crew let alone the effects be completed.

Plus all of it is quite out of context and with a film such as Interstellar the film will probably be more complex in it's execution. On the plus side though I can barely remember any of the details anyway.

If this was like a reliable blow by blow of the plot I would have stayed well away. Like theShape said the TDKR boards was ridiculous with people wanting spoilers, people posted them who could legitimately proved they saw it and claiming there was nothing wrong with posting them.

Dude The Dark Knight clearly leans blue in many scenes.

Not all scenes, but there were many scenes that had a noticeable blue coloring effect.

I'm sorry mate, but you're lying to yourself if you think you get the same experience knowing everything before hand.

 

[Anita18]

I'm sorry mate, but you're lying to yourself if you think you get the same experience knowing everything before hand.

It's not the same experience, no, but for some, enjoyment doesn't abate by knowing the plot beforehand.

For me, movie watching isn't about the joy of discovery. I find much more pleasure in seeing how a movie was constructed, which is especially pertinent for someone like Nolan. I don't like surprises - I'd always preferred being able to let myself enjoy the emotional experience instead of using my brainpower to figure out what's happening.

The last film I watched where I knew nothing about the ending going in was probably TDK, and that's because I saw the viral marketing preview screening 3 days before release. I actually did not enjoy it that much on the first viewing. Second (and every viewing after) was MUCH better.

But YMMV. I'm perfectly equal in my left-brain and right-brain facilities.


Edit: Scratch that, the last unspoiled movie I watched was the Lego Movie, and that was actually pretty enjoyable because the storyline and emotional beats were exceedingly simple. I don't think I'd find any value in rewatching it though. The more layers a movie has, the more enjoyable it is for me to rewatch, but the first viewing is relatively less enjoyable.

 

[BatLobster]

I just feel like you get one chance to have a "virginal" experience with a movie. Every time you watch it after that you'll know what's coming, so I feel like I owe it to myself to at least have one chance to let it take me unexpected places. I know the emotional experience is more important, but for me I can get even more invested on that first viewing if I don't know how the protagonist is going to overcome all those Act 2 and 3 obstacles. Part of the fun of Nolan is that he tends to really keep you on your toes. And then that urge to re-watch his movies right away to look for more details that you missed.

To each their own though.

 

[kedrell]

I'm sorry mate, but you're lying to yourself if you think you get the same experience knowing everything before hand.

No, what I'm saying is that said experience is ultimately worthless in the long run as it is the staying quality of the film(over multiple viewings) rather than any surprises on an initial viewing that truly determines whether I like a film or not. That's why I'm not a big fan of twist endings as they are ONLY good for 1 single viewing and then after that a movie needs to stand on it's own without that to help it. I don't watch movies to just see them once. If that's all they are good for then IMO they've failed.
