Interstellar

[Deleted member 2457]

Why is it not on 3D? Surely a trick missed?

Christopher Nolan (the Director) doesn't like 3D. It wasn't used in his previous films either (Dark Knight trilogy, Inception etc.).

Ah right, cheers.

Who sent back the co-ordinates for the top secret underground government facility in the middle of nowhere?

So conveniently forgotten by the end of the movie!

To answer your question, it was Cooper himself.

Cooper sent messages to his young daughter to tell himself at that point in time not to go to the base. This is why she threw tantrums when he left. Must be Civilization X from the future that sent the wormhole, also sending messages.

Cooper's conclusion about the singularity was it's man made, but from man in the future, a very developed civilization. So there are no ghosts, no aliens, it's all us. However, if human civilization in Cooper's time didn't survive, how did they go on evolving to civilization X with 5D abilities? Even if Brand created a new civilziation on Edmunds Planet with the eggs colony, still it's a time paradox for Civilization X to save itself sending messages and wormholes from the future. And why they spread gazillions of black holes arround the universe instead of that one where Cooper needs to get in? Are they like convenient telephone booths?

So again it has to be aliens.

Or is it?! *wacko*

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will give your sub a good workout a real good work out too.

Hi Thompsonuxb

Thanks although I can't believe that I am going to have to watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Oh well purely in the interest of bass

All the best

Hi Thompsonuxb

I see Michael Bay is involved. I'll have a think about this based on Transformers 4 and its loud boomy soundtrack

All the best

SPOILER ALERT.

Was it just me or was the film a complete paradox, which simply could never have happened?

Anyhoo, I was actually quite underwhelmed by the sound. I'm all for thunderous bass, but even the mundane events on earth had bass which shook my living room. It just gave me a bit of a headache and by the time the good bits started up, the soundtrack had nothing left to give. For example the shuttle launch was audibly as loud and bassy as the truck driving through a field.

Tried to test and see how well a *SPOILER ALERT* tag works - still read the above.

There's a separate spoiler thread on the film. To answer your question, it was Cooper himself.

Exactly...it's a paradox.

If he hadn't had the co-ordinates the following events would never have happened, but the co-ordinates couldn't have been sent without the events leading up to it.

It's alot better than its been made out to be.

Its also alot better than a few Marvel films.

Bay should do the next Thor and Captain America , maybe Superman - try him with Wonderwoman first use Megan......

So jealous of you guys using your subwoofer, i live in a rented flat with neighbours ! *cray2*

i live In a first floor flat above a neighbour but I still get the time to abuse my subwoofer haha. Never had a complaint! I guess I'm lucky. Although when fast 7 comes out I might receive one.

Picked up the limited edition from HMV. Its the book version and I loved it. I thought it was a taf too long and reminded me of Space Odessey *bad*

Watched this last night, and it was brilliant! Great picture, inky blacks, great soundtrack and a great story.

In my opinion this movie beats Gravity hands dwn.

far superior to gravity..

Although flawed (it could have done without the characters back story), gravity is was way better than Interstellar IMO.

All subjective of course.

I loved Gravity. It was beautiful and eerie to look at, especially in 3D.

I loved Interstellar. It was beautiful and thought provoking.

Interstellar is a far better film than Gravity for one reason for me...There was no story as such in Gravity. It could have been done in a 30 minute short and still been a bit too long.

I actually don't mind that - for me it (ie Gravity) was a visual masterpiece and I could forgive it its other failings (of which there were many, sure), just as I might forgive some shitty-production-values film with a fantastic story (Once is an example that springs to mind). My issue with Interstellar was that, given that it at least purported to have a story (which was expounded a bit didactically in the dialogue rather too often, IMO), I found it incomprehensible.

Not as much as Jupiter Ascending though, obvs.

Like I say, I loved both. And I didn't find the story in Interstellar so confusing
