Movie Interstellar

[eaglespremiers]

Thought perhaps it was time for this movie to get its own thread.
Interstellar will be premiering in Australia on November 6th, which is next Thursday.
For those of you who haven't been paying attention here's the most recent trailer:


Now I know that there are two camps on Christopher Nolan films. There are those who adore his cinematography and in-depth storylines and those who found him artificial, characters not quite formed and plot choices not always logical. I am in the former and don't really have an issue with Nolan's more contrived leaps of logic that he often takes. I haven't seen a movie of his that I haven't liked immensely. Having said that I do understand why some people might find his work a bit on the nose.

As to this movie I must confess that I lack any idea as to what Nolan's intentions are. Inception, I felt, delivered exactly what it showed in the trailer. But the trailer was so spectacular that perhaps the movie wasn't as ridiculously out-there as the trailer suggested. By contrast I pegged The Dark Knight all wrong when I first saw the trailer for it and so my expectations were completely smashed.

The Interstellar trailers haven't really given much away. By all reports the majority of the movie is going to be after lift off. However, just from viewing the trailer you could be forgiven for thinking that the movie takes its time in the lead up to the launch. All in all I am not as excited about this film as his last three releases but I wouldn't be surprised if he surpasses my expectations again. Based on the trailer what are you hoping for?

Can't wait. Definitely seeing this at IMAX.

Was pumped when I saw the first teaser. That has faded but will still go see it eventually.

Nolan is one of those directors who always delivers something worth seeing on the big screen.

I generally always preferred his smaller, earlier pictures like Memento and The Prestige, but even his latter day pictures are generally among the best blockbusters of their year. As somewhere who was never all that much into Batman, I enjoyed the 3rd Nolan Batman. He can do no wrong, for me he just lacks those enduring masterpieces that are timeless and immensely rewatchable.

I have rewatched the shit out of Begins.

Without seeing the movie yet, I'm calling it to go close to being the best film of the year, the combo of Nolan and McConaughey (who has gone from being a pissy, pisstake of an actor that women like to look at to someone who I actually take seriously now and think he is one of the best actors working today) will not fail.

Will get to the cinemas as soon as I can, I have Saturday night free so there's a big chance it will be movie and dinner night with the missus. Could be a messy night with friends though, ****ing hate not having enough free time atm.

Looking forward to seeing this.

Hopefully it's better than that piece of shit, TDKR.

Yeah can't say I enjoyed that movie much either, easily the worst of his movies imo.

Everything else he has done has been good to excellent, still no masterpiece though but is certainly capable of that you'd think.

The last actual real masterpiece I can think of that has been released kinda lately is There Will Be Blood but I haven't kept up with movies all that much for a fair while so I may have missed one or two lately.

 

[Pera]

TDKR was great.

Nolan and McConaughey (perhaps my favorite actor right now) working on the same movie? Yeah, im there. First night.

It's getting critical acclaim on IMDB atm.

 

[JuddsABlue]

Ho-ley-shit

What a movie

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Brilliant movie. Loved every minute.

Lel Gravity.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Seeing it at IMAX tonight. Fair pumped.

 

[jayceontaylor]

Top movie

 

[Financialpanther]

Really good movie - only complaint was the last 10 minutes which were just not required.

 

[carnthemlions]

WOW

Look, some people will hate it. But most of those people probably shouldn't watch sci-fi.

Disagree

Spoiler

Him getting back to see Murph was a massive sub plot of the film, if not the main plot

And showing him heading out to find Brand I think is an important part of Coopers story and leaves the door open for a sequel

Also thought a prequel with the 12 Lazarus ships is a possibility with Matt Damon as the star

 

[ManWithNoName]

Holy shit. 4.5/5.

At some point there needs to be a discussion about where Nolan stands amongst the all time great filmmakers.

DAT Zimmer score.

 

[Mayestro]

Fantastic movie. Happy to sit through it again this coming week. A must buy when out on blu ray.

 

[Starburns_]

Fantastic movie, best of the year thus far....comfortably.

There was also the great bittersweet nature of it that he made it back, just in time for her to die basically.

Not sure a sequel or prequel would work, the film was epic on its own, expanding on that is doomed to come up short as the most significant part of the story has already been told.

Yeah I agree, but the door was def left open and theres a lot more than can be told, but it will be impossible to recreate the awesomeness of telling this story for the first time

There were also the interviews from the start being played again at the end in a completely different context. I thought it was pretty clever- even more so when I found out that 2/3 were indeed from 'the dustbowl'(ken burns doco).
Maybe it was just me...

The problem is, it would be hard not to turn it into a space opera with the inevitable colony in a new galaxy storyline, what's going on on the space station(s?) and probably others going through the wormhole to look for the colony.
I'd love to see it, but it wouldn't fit with Interstellar very well. It's definitely not space opera.
