Interstellar - Part 9

[Phallic]

So the docking scene is not in the soundtrack? Not the original and not in the deluxe. I don't understand why the best track of the score is not in it?

No, but Zimmer is releasing it for free.

 

[The Shape]

Did I miss something?

You did, as per usual.

 

[Travesty]

Oh Christ....

No, but Zimmer is releasing it for free.

When?

 

[IncognitoWalrus]

When?

He doesn't know, but he loves you forever.

 

[Phallic]

When?

He said they have to go through certifications, but the record label is on board. I don't know exactly when yet.

 

[Donut]

It could be forever until it releases

I finally saw it today, truth is I've not followed the production nearly as closely as Nolan's other films, I'm a big fan of his work but I just don't care for this type of sci-fi, I like my sci-fi in a Galaxy Far, Far Away or with killer aliens or malevolent machines.

When we came out of the cinema my Dad said to me he thought it was interesting and I think that word summed it up for me. In between the melodrama and the faith/love stuff was some interesting science concepts that were like watching a documentary with big production values and a couple of good leads as opposed to two beardy scientists doing talking head segments in between the space footage.

There were some genuinely good scenes in the film and I thought Matty Mac and Annie brought an empathy that provided a way through the heavy physics based dialogue and lumpy philosophical pondering.

I found it dull in parts and I thought the last 15 minutes with Coop floating around in the 5th dimension while Murph moved stuff around in her old room was excruciatingly drawn out and corny.

The best section was when they landed on the ice planet and found out what Jason Bourne had been doing since he swam away at the end of Supremacy, now we know where the Hudson leads.

By far my least favourite Nolan film but I'm glad I gave it a watch on the big screen as it's not a film I plan to revisit, and the small screen wont do the films visual highlights or fantastic sound design justice.

7/10

Finally saw this yesterday and absolutely loved it. Glad I was able to see it in (Lie)MAX and will definitely catch it one more time in that format.

It's funny how differently we all see things. So many people say it's Nolan's worst and yet it might be his favorite non Bats movie to me.

This has to be my favorite Interstellar review ever.

 

[BatLobster]

I am absolutely loving the OST.

 

[titansupes]

****ing thank you.

 

[AnneFan]

I am absolutely loving the OST.

It is an intense score.

I think you summed up how I feel about it pretty neatly. Mini Space McConaughey floating in the bookshelf of Time & Space was just....

The opening 45 mins dragged a whole heap of ass. I checked the time at one point to find it was only 30mins in, felt like over an hour.

Also, the death of Astronaut #4 (I don't have the fainest recollection of what his name was) on the water planet... the guy just stood there, by the ships hatch, and waited for the wave to kill him. PIS. And it's a meaningless death, too. We have no connection to that guy what-so-ever.

I'm hovering around 6.5-7/10.

 

[Victarion]

I'm certain some people in the past have died, many of whom I had no connection with. Realism, son.

Huh? You say all that but maybe give it a 7?

Scores these days mean nothing.

Considering how many people still don't understand the ending and think the movie meant for love to be some magical force, I fear that less exposition would have only compounded the issue.

Relativity is a difficult topic, even for expert physicists, and just throwing it at the general audience and expecting them to get it would have been a disaster.

I was actually really happy he died. Enough with that pretentious trash bag crap.

 

[Gold Samurai]

No, but Zimmer is releasing it for free.

If you're good at something never do it for free.

Exactly! The theory is that a 5th dimension could actually have time as something you could see from beginning to end (or something to that effect, it's 4am here I'm tired ) love was not the goddamn meaning of the end, like the idea of wormholes, it was still based on actual scientific assumptions.

I love the film, but for what reason a lot of people did not like it. It may be that they don't get hard scifi as they've never seen it before, that the hype for this movie was unbearable, that they're loyal to Marvel, or that exploration doesn't interest them.

The fact that there are mixed reactions is interesting even if many of the critics lack the ability to coherently articulate why the movie didn't work for them.
