Will there ever be a film built upon such a grand and shocking mystery as Interstellar was?
The hype was phenomenal, no one knew what to expect, the film was being hailed as a masterpiece and even casual cinema goers were going with their families to see it on release day - it was one of those big films that only came once every 10 years or so.
>Release date of Interstellar >Most anticipated film of the year >Whole theatre is packed >IMAX screening >The music, the atmosphere, the science and mystery slowly enveloping as the plot progresses. >Shit starts going crazy, everyone's on the edge of their seats. >Suddenly the Tesseract scene out of fucking nowhere. >Whole theatre comes to a stand still
One of the most engaging and inspiring films of the decade, not even memeing. I have to give Nolan that praise.
Andrew Jackson

We kind of did, too bad they took out the chinese robots
Liam Bennett
it's literally a carbon copy of the film Contact and its source material.
Ayden Nelson
>, too bad they took out the Chinese robots
Wish that version was still in the film. That would have been amazing, but nonetheless, the final release was just as good
Zachary King
its an awfully manipulative movie where nothing happens but everything is extremely dramatic for no reason.
Anthony Watson
Is this bait?
Colton Walker
Don't know what you're talking about because I wasn't hyped for this and when it came out it was like any other movie coming out
I don't know how you could get excited for anything in this climate when everyone and their mother is suddenly an actor >rihanna >ed sheeran >AAA actor #4747366 Nothing of substance has been made for so long, I really have no clue what you're talking about when you mention this "Interstellar hype"
Kevin Cooper
>its a someone doesnt understand people have different tastes episode
James Ross
>this OP Watch more films. Seriously.
Matthew Wood
People have shit taste, including you.
Liam Perez
It was a popcorn flick masquerading as something with a deeper meaning AKA a Christopher Nolan movie.
Jack Russell
>human extinction is no reason
aren't you missing an earth first meeting?
Levi Bennett
Lmao what the fuck are you talking about I didn't mention anything about taste, you spend too much time on here. You're like an abused dog snapping at everything, I'm laughing
Interstellar didn't have any groundbreaking hype you're just being dramatic
Wyatt Lee
I thought it was pretty shit desu and I liked all the other Nolan films
Thomas Gomez
How is this a response to what he said
Grayson Ramirez
>dude love lmao yeah nah cunt
Jordan Davis
My favourite film is Carl Theodor Dreyer's Ordet, BUT
Interstellar is a MASTERPIECE
Lucas Nelson
>Interstellar didn't have any groundbreaking hype
Are you underage? Interstellar was the hypest film of that year among 18-30 yr olds, if you never knew this you're either a retard or have no friends
Henry Bell
It's certainly an extremely ambitious original film and I applaud him for it, but the execution was lacking, especially in the third act. One of the better cinema experiences of my life though.
Jacob Thomas
>One of the better cinema experiences of my life though.
Anyone here see Hateful Eight during the roadshow ? Still own my brochure, one of my best experiences for sure. That was a once in a lifetime thing
Nathan Brown
if you're friend group consists exclusively of awkward dweebs in that age range then yea I understand how you'd get that impression.
most people forgot about it the next day they saw it
Dylan Ramirez
>Interstellar is a MASTERPIECE I have to disagree, sorry.
Levi Walker
Arrival was 10 times better than Interstellar
Mason Hill
You and your friends are capeshitters
Josiah Miller
I'm inclined to agree with you OP.
I went with a couple of friends. None of us knew a thing about the film, I don't even think we'd seen any trailers.
I just remember being sat there thinking "I literally love every minute of this." It just hit all the right buttons.
I've watched it 4 times on blu-ray so far; even though I still love it, nothing beats the atmosphere in the cinema.
Caleb Wood
>he wasn't on Sup Forums in 2015 >he wasn't up to date on Nolan films in 2015 and your opinion matters why? How old are you?
Connor Reed
I only visit a select few threads.
Gabriel Mitchell
>comic relief from a robot fucked this movie sideways I thought Nolan lost his fucking mind with TARS
Ryder Nelson
nothing happens to the earth tho, they just say it and theres a little sandstorm and thats it.
Brandon Peterson
>TARS set intelligence to 10% >DUDE PRAISE KEK MAGA LMAO >better make it 15%, slick
Alexander Ward
I didn't like the ending
Caleb Richardson
...
Jace Lee
It was good, but as with others I feel that the ending wasn't the strongest it could have been. In the first place, it could have worked without the "DUDE LOVE LMAO" that seemed hastily introduced and I think Cooper surviving the trip into the blackhole made the ending too conveniently happy. It set up the meeting with old Murph nicely, which was a fine way to end it, but I felt like it cheapened his decision to sacrifice himself for the sake of his family and humanity.
Adam Allen
He voted trump, and he's open about how Hollywood treats Republicans.
Ryan Lewis
I don't get it.
Parker Harris
I'll just assume this is bait because otherwise, that's really sad.
Samuel Hughes
rural and suburban retards.
Oliver Myers
The end of the movie, starting with the 4D piano strings, was total garbage.
Christopher Martin
It was due to the mystery that it was disappointing.
Interstellar is probably the worst big blockbuster from 2014 and yet immature neckbeards praise it
Colton Sullivan
So are getting a sequel at all?
Jace Butler
after TDKR anyone with sense was staring sideways at nolan
Cooper Jones
>it's literally a carbon copy of the film Contact and its source material. 1) That's not what "literally" means 2) It's a similar gimmick, but the beats of the plot are completely different, and it focuses on different themes. So if "carbon copy" means "these two films are in the same genre" now, sure.
>as with others I feel that the ending wasn't the strongest it could have been Yeah, I'm 100% in that camp. It was an awesome movie with a lot of really interesting stuff going on, but they chickened out on the ending. That fact is probably what will stop it from being an enduring masterpiece.
It's odd to me that they admit to using 2001 as an inspiration, create a setup for a really similar (and potentially even better) ending, and then gave us the cop-out that we got.
Julian Barnes
I never got what the fuck was supposed to be happening in 2001's ending
Ayden Barnes
>I never got what the fuck was supposed to be happening in 2001's ending I mean, that's kinda the thing. 2001 had a lot of visual metaphor at the end, but I don't think it's meant to be totally understood. That's what I'm saying. End of interstellar has McConaguy traveling through the 5th dimension, transcending space and time. The human mind can't comprehend that. It should have been AT LEAST as weird as the ending to 2001.
Here's how I'd do it. Keep the bit with the piano strings and the data, they spent a lot of time setting that up. Probably the "handshake" bit too. But then, as he falls deeper toward the singularity, you give it the full 2001 treatment, light tunnel, inexplicable images, etc, then nothing. And then at the end you have a little wrap up scene with the space program launching, maybe FF to the colonists arriving later to meet a now-really-old Anne Hathaway. Leave out the miraculous resurrection and all that nonsense, it adds nothing. We're already bending enough rules letting bits of information leave the black hole, doing it with a whole guy (and his robot) is fucked.
Nolan Adams
gtfo dude, stick to ordet, interstellar is shit of the highest order... pretentious, iƱarritu-tier bullshit, no heart at all, no one cares about fucking tesseracts except fucking autists
