This is a 3 hour movie that is mainly about technology, science, philosophy , religion and politics into one movie. Although it starts off a little slow it gets better and better throughout the movie.
Overall I would give it a 9 out of a 10. It's not perfect, but close to it.
Interstellar is a great movie until the final eighteen minutes. When you get to the scene of the crazed professor getting dumped into space and the Pilot/gal recover their station....walk out. At that moment, it’s still a five-star movie. After you get the explanation of the final eighteen minutes....you just start shaking your head and wondering what the heck this whole thing was about.
Nice you found an enjoyable big screen movie.
I have been increasingly disappointed with Hollywood’s offerings to the point that none are grabbing my interest.
There is no question director Christopher Nolan is a gifted storyteller and that this fact has a lot to do with his deserved success. What really sets the director apart, though, is his love for humanity. Unlike so many of his counterparts, Nolan doesn't see mankind as a disease or doomed by an inevitable apocalypse brought on by man's greed and ignorance. Nolan thinks we're pretty special, and in his achingly ambitious "Interstellar" this belief once again manifests itself in more than just theme.
Nolan believes so much in us he doesn't patronize or pander with only the "feel-good." Although he creates hugely expensive tentpole blockbusters, his canon isn't watered down for mass appeal. As we saw in the last two chapters of his "Dark Knight" trilogy and 2010's "Inception", Nolan gambles big on this faith with hugely complicated (in a good way) stories that that have Big Things to say about the human condition, our place in the universe, and our unlimited potential for decency and to make better or save humanity.
Just tell me it is not about global warming, and that would make me go see it. :)
Is it about evil white people killing polar bears and space or just about space and people?
Son and DIL went to see it last night. The LOVED it! Me and grandpa will wait until it comes out on Netflix. Son really wants us to see it. He said it’s family friendly. That’s a great plus.
In the 1950s and 1960s it was 25 cents to go to the movie, 75 cents if you were 12 or older. Drive in was $1.00 per car. Cokes were 5 cents....
My brother and I went to see it, and overall, we both didn’t think much of the movie, although there we elements of it that we did enjoy.
I did enjoy the conversation the main character had with the school officials about his child, but they managed to balance that out with dialogue that made it clear the people who wrote the screenplay had liberal points of view on many things.
I didn’t think the acting was all that much better than “Gravity”, and that isn’t a compliment, but the special effects in “Gravity” were VERY good, in my opinion. (One caveat: watching it in 2D was boring...I got the 2D version from the library thinking I could watch it in 3D, but it didn’t have that on the video, only the 2D version, and I re-watched the parts with good special effects, and without those in 3D, you actually started hearing what the actors said and how they said it, and...that was it. Couldn’t watch anymore after that.
On the other hand, I am a sucker for good footage of rocket stages falling away back to earth, and they had a few of those in “Interstellar”.
