I don't find implausible tech or physics too distracting in a Scifi movie. Like the 1h = 7years makes no sense either, but I can just live with that if a scientist in the movie tells me that. Or that they can suddenly land and take off from a planet (the water planet) which wasn't possible before.
However if the actions of people make no sense at all it just hits me in the face as wrong. general relativity implies that the higher the gravity of an object the slower time runs around it. + Show Spoiler +That said, wouldn't the gravity needed for that kind of time dilation be way more than what it was? Something like 1.3x Earth so they could still walk? Even Jupiter has more gravity than that. I guess the planet was affected by the black hole's gravity, but wouldn't they still feel that effect? I don't know, I'm not a physicist. They had a real physicist working with them, so maybe it works out. The time dilation isn't from the large planet's gravity, it's from the black hole. The planet is extremely close to the black hole which means all time on the planet runs very slowly. That's why Coop had to suggest parking the space craft far away and just dropping the ranger down, so they don't spend hours in orbit and losing even more time than they needed to. That being said, having a 1 hour = 7 year time dilation requires the planet to be too close to a supermassive black hole for it not to be ripped apart, so the science there is exaggerated for the movie's sake.
apparently it's possible..

regarding the water planet, if somebody was observing (let's say dr black guy) with a powerful telescope into the planet, would he see stuff in dr black guy time or water planet time?
He would see stuff in Romily time (the "dr black guy"), and everything will look like it moves slowly and red shifted to him.

How long will this keep going until someone makes a Interstellar Thread? lol

We can always switch to trying to figure out Primer

Hunger Games: Mockingjay Pt. 1
Really unnecessary, there's not really much strong story drive so it's rather boring. And I liked the first two (especially the second). No way this book should have been a two part movie when even before it was being made people were criticizing the first half of the third book for just this reason.

Yeah, third book was if anything shorter than the third. There was no reason other than profit to make this a two parter, unless they wanted to be anal with sticking to the book and showing as many scenes as possible.

The Spectacular Now: terrific coming of age movie, ditches all the teenager cliches with well written characters and superb acting. 9/10
McCabe & Mrs. Miller: a western with beautiful snowy east-coast landscapes, one of those moody, melancholic movies. 8/10
Jagten (a.k.a. The Hunt): this movie got to me like no other.. one of the best I've ever seen
Searching for Bobby Fischer: A nice feel-good saturday family movie, the chess theme interested me so that was a plus. 6/10
True Lies: Arnold parodying Bond, how had I not seen this before, had a good time watching this with another Schwarzenegger fanboy. 7/10
Il grande silenzio (The Great Silence): Another great Western, the ending is certainly memorable. 8/10
next up Beasts of the Southern Wild and Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris

Omg, predestination was so bad. So utterly idiotic and disgusting.
I was hoping for a good movie too, having read all the good critiques, oh well.
|
Fury 0/10. really bad movie that had nice actors in it.
Interstellar 7/10.
gonna see Samba tomorrow.

Just watched it and it really it's also one of the best movies I've ever seen. A realistic depiction of human nature.

The best offer was all shorts of brilliant, highly rec'd.
|
Agreed, Jagten is very well acted.
The Grand Budapest Hotel - regular Wes Anderson fun movie. Quirky situations and fun dialogue.
The Wind Rises - a serious but dreamlike film from Hayao Miyazaki. Great animation as always. Story a little too sad sometimes.

Jaqten is a very good movie, agreed. Really like how they handled the ending.

I saw interstellar finally. It was quite good up until the final 30 minutes. The whole concept of him going into the black hole and contacting his kid through the bookshelf was just plain old stupid.
Christopher Nolan drives me nuts. I think his movies have slid as he's become more popular and received larger budgets. Dark Knight Rises was so overrated. It's easily the worst of the three. It just felt so bloated. Too long, and then in the end he had to resort to all sorts of lazy writing and cliches to make a happy ending (catwoman coming back just in time, batman getting rid of the bomb just in time, etc). The ending of Interstellar reminded me exactly of that movie. Great special effects, lovely scenes, great sense of epicness, but the final act was just put together very lazily.

I saw a review of Interstellar, I think it was from Moviebob, and what he said made a lot of sense to me. Basically he said Nolan tries to force emotions into his movies, he desperately tries to make you feel something and he fails spectacularily.
The movie could have ended perfectly fine when the guy fell into the wormhole in a last desperate attempt to make this mission a success but instead we got the last 15-30min of the movie
|
Yeah I agree. I feel the movie could have ended better using any of the other options at their disposal. The ending they used asked you to suspend your beliefs just because they wanted to end the movie a certain kind of emotional and cheesy way
