If you see Interstellar this weekend, please your non-spoiler reviews for Freepers on this thread and I will bump it.

Saw it this morning. Didn’t know it was 3 hours and had to leave early. I was ready for it to be over by 2 hours. I like sci-fi, but this one just was okay for me. My husband told me how they epwrapped up everything, and I don’t think I missed much.

Good acting and visuals.

Not a chance in hell of me seeing this film even if Anne and Jessica get nakked together—

Hummm-- Together-- Well... on second thought--

I'd see a Michael Moore movie about how much Obamacare rules if Anne and Jessica got naked togther in it.

Saw it Friday, I liked it a great deal. A very good performance by Mr. Matthew McConaughey but mostly average performances by the rest of the cast. I wish the film makers didn’t feel the need to explain the theoretical physics involved and then put a 2001-ish ending on the film. The Hollywood ending aside I felt is was a film of good quality. I didn’t realize it was almost 3 hours long, the time went quickly and I enjoyed every minute.

I liked it a lot. Still somethings that I need to think through or maybe watch a second time but certainly enjoyed the entire movie.

I'm skipping it for Big Hero 6, a cgi family film which garnered a 94 rating. One reviewer said of Big Hero 6 “It doesn't top The Incredibles, but doggone if it doesn't come close.” That's pretty high praise IMO

I saw Big Hero 6 yesterday. Great movie! I recommend it.

kind of a mind bender movie.

starts slow, i mean “maybe i should walk out” slow. but it builds. eventually it really starts to come together and i can’t say more without spoiling.

if you like space movies, definitely go. you won’t be disappointed.
stick with it.

Best movie I have seen in years. It is science fiction, to love the movie is to accept the currently impossible. No political message whatsoever in the movie. It is pure entertainment and it will win many awards.

[beebuster2000]

i agree no political message, that was a relief. i was bracing myself for a bunch of leftist BS about how the planet got ruined by you know what etc etc.

but that wasn’t there.

yeah i enjoyed it, was long though.

key tip: hit the bathroom before the movie starts and skip the jumbo drink for this one. you won’t want to get up, and by the time you realize its 3 hours long it will be too late.

I saw it today and I think it hits right in the middle between the two NRO reviews. It’s a little too Hollywood — not deep, serious, stark enough — to be 2001. At the same time I didn’t think it was insipid. If I had to describe it in a single word it would be “sweet”. McConaughey and his daughter character made the movie. Their relationship was the backbone of the film and I found it believable and compelling. There’s something about fathers and their beloved daughters that is just plain special and I thought the movie captured that really well. I actually teared up a few times which I wasn’t expecting. The plot twists were interesting, the effects and action were well done. You can tell it’s a Nolan film...it has some of the same feel as Inception. Nolan has a thing about time and timeframes sort of like Del Toro has a thing about steampunk and monsters with no eyes. You can tell that’s what his imagination dwells on, probably even when he’s not making films. Overall an interesting movie that is worth seeing, I think.

The “Interstellar” movie was actually attacking Environmentalism. Although it wore the vestments of the official state religion of Pax Americana (Progressivism) - by showing female super-scientists and a slightly multicultural cast - it wasn’t promoting orthodox progressive dogma. It was actually presenting another religion. A religion that currently has no name.

In the Early Roman Empire, the various Greco-Jewish sects that later would become Christianity did not have any name (the word “Christian” was concocted in later Roman times as an insult to christians). When you look at the more older and more established sects of Christianity (Roman Catholic Church, Ethiopian Orthodox Church, the various Eastern Orthodox Churches), you’ll notice the vestments and ceremonial objects they use. These vestments were from the original pagan Roman State religion and the various Hellenistic mystery cults. Early Christianity hid itself within other religions.

And this new religion (the religion of various tech leaders in Silicon Valley and Asia, Satoshi Nakamoto, Elon Musk, possibly Robert Zubrin, etc.) hides itself within other religions, such as Progressivism, Shinto, and Confucianism. Even within Hinduism (”Ayudha Puja” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayudha_Puja#mediaviewer/File:Ayudha_Pooja.jpg)! Except for the Hindu and Shinto versions, this religion - like Progressivism - doesn’t call itself a religion.

This religion, along with Islam, are the only two religions in the West (Pax Americana) that are successfully undermining the Official State Religion of Progressivism.

I just watched it. I liked it, nice story.

Although I'm getting tired of the Environmental angle.
If you have the resources to terraform another planet, then you can "fix" at least some part of Earth too.

They originally launched on a humongous Saturn-class three-stage rocket but when they reached the other galaxy, suddenly their shuttle became capable of single stage to orbit. Several times.
Including landing on and blasting off a planet with 130% of Earth's gravity and peeling away from near a black hole.
Even guessing the Saturn rocket must have been mostly for carrying all the fuel for the rest of the mission, that part stretched plausibility quite a bit.
Not bad for a shoestring secret underground NASA outfit on a depleted world though. And I liked the robots.
