Interstellar - Part 9

I don't know if it's the most popular, but it's mine:

Spoiler

After Cooper went through the black hole and appeared by Saturn, 70 something years have passed. However, Brand, due to passing alongside the black hole and now on a planet near a black hole, time has hardly passed for her.

When Murph tells Coop to go to Brand, I believe he is meant to go there so as to advance the human race to a point where they can understand the 5th dimension and create the wormhole in the past so Cooper can go through it eventually go into the library dimension. Basically a stable loop. Even though it has been 70 years that Brand has been gone, she has probably only been on Edmund planet for a couple of days.

Spoiler

Time actually didn't move forward at all while Cooper was in the black hole. Literally 0 time occured as he was in the tesseract. Both him and Brand experienced a huge time delay because they both slingshotted around the black hole.

If that is from an official source, then J. Nolan was wrong when he said

[Snow Queen]

Anyone else surprised slumcat isn't all over the thread rating this movie a 2/10?

2? I'd be shocked if he was so generous.

 

[Deserana]

I doubt it was it was only on Reddit but was quite popular last week but I didnt want to read it.

I see, well then whoever did that did a damn good job and had some really good, HD screenshots from the movie that aren't released yet.

 

[Victarion]

How's the general reception been?

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Bloodthirsty.

 

[Deserana]

Divisive but still has a majority vote of good.

This a film that will take years to establish how good though.

Spoiler

Yeah...I was accounting for the few days Cooper has on Cooper Station before leaving for Brand. They of course received her signal confirming the planet as good. Yet, Cooper going now, he'd arrived sometime close to the time the Brand was there. She's probably been there a couple of hours as most.

Anybody listening to the leaked score? It's wonderful. The theater sound is so loud that you discover all the subtleties of Zimmer's soundscape here. The result is a most affecting score, Zimmer's best since god knows when.

It will be very interesting to see what the second week drop off is. Most blockbusters this year have fallen by 60-65%, I wonder if Interstellar will have a better multipliar.

 

[Mr.M]

I don't think the wormhole closed.

Spoiler

There was probably no reason to keep sending people there once Murph discovered the breakthrough. They had to technology to overcome the dying planet and build an interplanetary civilization. It's still there though. Once they get the signal, that's sparks another go around and Cooper takes the plunge.

Far as the wormhole itself, I don't buy humanity making a breakthrough in the far future. The higher dimension has always been there, before the beginning of this universe. They just are and always will be. The reason they chose to open wormholes is because "they" can, and may steer our 3D world in any direction they seem fit. It really plays into the theory that everything is already predetermined. What has happened has always happened and will always happen. No free will. That's one of the potential consequences some physicists surmise. We have the illusion of free will, but doesn't play out that way in reality. The idea that humans enter this next dimension and manipulate their own evolution in the far past creates nothing but paradoxes and headaches, and we shouldn't rationalize the film using that faulty logic.

So I Just got back form watching interstellar with my mom and all I can say is wow! just wow! What a great emotional complex movie! Even though the movie was complex I understood most of it. I just had to think a little bit. Seeing a moving and having to think is not a bad thing lol. Sever things in the movie surprised me and some people have said that has good has Christopher noal is has a director that he is cold and cant make an emotional movie wrong! This movie was very emotional and got to my hart sever times. I almost never cry when I see a movie and I got tear eyed sever times in this movie. Need to see the movie again ASAP!

Spoiler

the wormhole closed

Spoiler

If you re-read the entire paragraph where Jonathan Nolan talked about the wormhole closing, it's clear he was only referring to the earlier version of the script that he wrote for Spielberg, not the draft used for the final film. In Christopher Nolan's rewrite that was used to make his version of the film, the wormhole is still open at the end. I wish Jonathan had been a little more clear in his answer as I can see how it confused quite a few people. So yeah, in the film the wormhole is still open at the end.

 

[BatLobster]

I don't know man. It's really unclear.

Spoiler

The interviewer then asks "So Cooper has to get to Brand in that little ship?" and Jonah says "That's the idea". To me is sounds like they're talking about the actual movie at that point.

As I said before, earlier in that same paragraph he specifically says he's talking about the earlier version of the script, NOT the version the film is based on. Having said that, considering how poorly worded the answer was, the interviewer should have asked a follow up question to avoid all this idiotic confusion. The only way the ending of the film works is if the wormhole is still open. Otherwise,

Spoiler

Murph is essentially asking her father to kill himself.

Here is the exact quote I'm talking about:

Spoiler

The idea in earlier drafts of the script was that Cooper returns to a human species that has taken that first step out and is beginning to prepare for the next step. But the one thing you know about wormholes is, they're not real. Wormholes don't exist because the only way they would exist is if they were seeded with exotic material created by an intelligence far beyond our own. Something would have to make one. So the idea with the film was that it was a wormhole that leads us to a place that creates an opportunity for us and then disappears. By the end of Cooper's journey, the wormhole is gone. It's up to us now to undertake the massive journey of spreading out across the face of our galaxy. Brand is still somewhere out there on the far side of the wormhole. The wormhole has disappeared entirely. It's gone.

I have only heard the score in the context of the film. So I'm eager to get it on my iPod, like Caped does now.

Just so you know, the leaked score isn't the Deluxe Version that iTunes is selling on Tuesday. It doesn't include that badass track when Cooper docks the spinning Endurance. That's not in the leak score.

That track called "Imperfect Lock" is on the Deluxe Version.

Christopher Nolan’s last directorial release, The Dark Knight Rises, was well-received by the movie-going public on top of being a monster at the box office. It was generally seen as a great closing chapter for his Batman trilogy by both devoted film fans and critics. However, a portion of each felt the final product’s reach was far too ambitious for its actual grasp. The newly released sci-fi space travel spectacular desires to be both gargantuan in scope, both rationally and thematically , ensuring to create another divided sect of opinion.

Interstellar continuously succeeds at a rate far more frequent to any lag or friction this journey may encounter as a viewing experience. Nolan trying his hand in the realm of cosmic travel with the anticipated approach to realism provides an experience that wonderfully compounds the indifference of the known universe with bonds of love and sentimentality. As expected, Nolan finds reliable thespians to bring his characters to life; we know by now that Matthew McCouaghney is a more than capable Oscar-winning actor. Envisioning a better guy to portray astronaut, engineer & farmer Cooper is an exercise in futility and will once again get rumblings at Awards Season. His relationship with young daughter Murph (Mackenzie Foy) gives the story justifiable reason to invest in the family amidst an accelerated near future in which food supply, air quality and the advancement of the human race is nearing crisis mode.

The first act of the film establishes an America whose infrastructures have shifted towards that of necessity, agricultural production and ensuring survivorship. Political and international conflict, educational advancement and discovery are suppressed in favor of production and the maintenance of our species, bringing Cooper and Murph to stumble upon a recluse version of NASA. Here Doctor-Astronaut Brand (Anne Hathaway) and her physicist father (Michael Caine) convey the urgency in directing limited resources to space, to find a future for Earth’s humans.

The skill of paying due respect to physical scientific principles that govern the entire universe with a tale of ambitious, harrowing circumstances is one few filmmakers can make work. Those involved with the art of bringing a calculated journey to life with the dire tone of rationality and desperation make Interstellar a standout. Included cinematic themes have been done before in many prior science fiction stories but what makes this entry extraordinary is that viewers with even a rudimentary understanding of the cosmos, its overwhelmingly vast and uncaring nature will almost tangibly feel the tension and gravity during astronautical flights of the Lazarus missions.

The beauty that lie above Earth’s stratosphere was conveyed with excitement and amazingly authentic cinematography (launch sequence, anyone?). There is awe in fully realizing what this film wants to tell us and show us- this thought well represented by accurately showing a soundless atmosphere, an intimidating silence. Concepts like relativity and the fabric of space time are utilized within the film’s structure to create heightened dramatic situations and emotional resonance while Nolan also pays respect to abstract films of grandeur such as Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. The influences were clear; the similar monolithic design of onboard artificial intelligence module TARS, extreme scale-revealing long shots of space travel, dimensional transcendence and Cooper’s version of the ‘Stargate Sequence,’ from Kubrick’s philosophical classic.

Despite a couple of ham-fisted messages and ideas, particularly from Brand, this film accomplishes an ambitious approach to narratives that have commonly been represented in the science fiction genre- terraforming suitable environments for mankind’s relocation, hyperbaric hibernation, and objectivity clashing with humanly preference, among many others. The resolution may feel convenient to some but after paying ample respect to space science and quantum reality, some artistic licensing was welcomed as it sewed up developments early in the script with a very memorable representation within one of science’s most heralded curiosities- the nature of back holes. Encountering the climax with chilling, mind-blowing metaphysical imagery brought the experience of a desperate father’s sacrifice to space to a very soulful conclusion.

Supporting actors Jessica Chastain, John Lithgow, Casey Affleck, Anne Hathaway and Nolan’s regular good luck charm Michael Caine provide for believable iterations of actual people in the predicament they have been placed in. An unstable Matt Damon cameo may have divided fans talking, as his appearance creates its own sequence of events. The technicality of Interstellar-both in script as well as execution in production is more than admirable. A big screen watch greatly enhances the affect this is likely to have on a fan. Nolan’s newest work, a genre specific sci-fi is grounded in actual physical dimensions of natural surrounding as well as expanding the artistic idea of our species’ perceptions-what we know, what we were meant to know and what we will ever know. This is one of the more memorable journeys viewers are likely to have if they have a piqued interest into the scale and ambiguity of diverse galaxies.

I kinda dislike Zimmer most of the time...but this thing is rad. Mountains , with the clock motif , is off the charts.
