Next time I open this thread I hope it has some Interstellar related stuff as it will surely be more interesting than what page 2 had to offer.
Interstellar | SPOILERS! | Keep out unless you've seen it
- Thread starter okLaptop1
- Start date
You'll have to wait till the movie is out in theatres then.
Sweet! Cheers for that, I try to avoid all the press beforehand but that's a great snippet.
Early reviews seem mixed, which I find oddly promising. Seems like it's the most ambitious of his blockbusters, and is definitely going to divide opinions. Probably won't be as big a hit as his last few films.
'Cause a film where a guy dresses in a bat costume should be realistic, right? Strange grievance to have.
So because the situation itself is implausible means we should just excuse the outrageous plotholes?
I'd say that's more bizarre, personally.
There's a difference between basing films plots around fantastical elements and having absurd plotholes that ruin the film. I would have assumed that was obvious.
Plot holes are part and parcel of any fantasy/sci-fi/comic-based film. As with most superhero films, you're not there for the plot. You're there for the characters, the action etc.
What? That's ridiculous.
Purely because it's a superhero film we should ignore all the crazy plotholes involved? Turn off your brain and pretend the script isn't a big clumpy mess that makes absolutely no sense at all, right.
Sure, all those townsfolk were running at armed prisoners who also instead of just shooting them, ran at them too and had a big fistfight but .. it's a film about a guy dressed as a bat, so it's grand, ignore it.
also the biggest issues with the Nolan films is that he tries to deliver them in a very real way and basically cuts out every parcel feature of a superhero film apart from the superhero itself, so when that's the case, you're clearly going to notice this stuff more.
People tend to confuse plot holes with any old dumb shit in a film. Ideally, no film should have plot holes, no matter how outrageous and fantasy they are. A plot hole isn't just random suspension of realism, it's a hole in the plot.
You can have fantastical or magic shite in a film all you want, but you need to explain what the fantastical magic shite is before you use it.

Seems to be getting 4/5 stars most places I check, I'll take that. Last two I saw in imax were Avatar and Prometheus, left spectacularly disappointed after both.
Consistency is key. Just like in refereeing.
Not so sure about that. Lots of places giving it fairly mediocre reviews.
Not in the places I check
Lowest is a 3 on the Guardian, which I'm hereby tagging as an outlier.Got a 77 on Metacritic.
Heavily weighed down by an obvious click bait rating though.
25 out of 100, yeah ok mate.

You can be damn sure Rex Reed will give it one star so it won't be alone.
And 7.3/10 rating there.
Hans Zimmer and his score ffs.
It's gotten 9.5 on imdb. It's rated even higher than Inception and The Prestige.
IMDB ratings often start very high and get more reasonable as time goes on. It'll probably end up with a similar rating to those two you mentioned.
Yes, once more people rate it, it'll decrease. Presently, it has gotten 9.5 from about 5k reviews.
Definitely looking forward to seeing this. I do like a bit of McConaughey.
I agree that an outrageous premise shouldn't excuse a film from exercising basic narrative logic. My comment would be that I don't find Rises to be a particularly great offender, not any more than Nolan's previous Batman films anyway. I understand people finding plot holes or logical inconsistencies in Rises, it just seems the trend for people to comb through that film in particular and let other comic book films (made by Nolan or anyone for that matter) off the hook for similar things.
I agree to an extent, but there's only so much you can get away with before it starts to drag the quality of the film down. TDKR for example I enjoyed the first time around...but then on second viewing and noticing the sheer amount of daft or unexplained stuff going on, I ended up thinking more "this is a bit too daft actually"...I mean considering Nolan's Batman was hardly an Avengers style "this doesn't make sense but it's ok because...magic!" style series.
Days of Future Past I didn't really enjoy at all because it had less regard for its plot making any sense than one of those stories where you get each person to write a paragrath without knowing what the previous person had written.
Plots should as a bare minimum make sense, and be explainable...if not within the film itself then at least by some vaguely imaginable trail of logic. You can have giant lizards crushing cities or people travelling through time and turning into monkeys. or whatever...as long as the reason it's happening doesn't completely contradict itself, or just not exist at all.
That was one of the first things that I really noticed when they remade BSG, the fact it was almost silent in the space scenes, except for when showing shots inside cockpits etc when there was atmosphere. They did surrender a little bit when showing weapons firing, but even that was much more muted than what you get in a lot of sci-fi space battles etc.
Doesn't actually look very good, but given the director I'd guess it'll be lauded regardless.
Saw it tonight. Thought it was excellent. The three hours flew by.
Stunning film to look at. McConaughey was excellent. Really, really enjoyed it.
However it will divide opinion like no Nolan film so far. I just know some people are going to rip it to shreds. Either way, I liked it a lot.

I'm booked in for the first showing at my local cinema, Friday afternoon at 12:40. Cant wait!
can not wait to see this on Saturday
Opens here tomorrow. I'll have to check it out on IMAX.
Reckon they'll make a gay porn version called "InterFella?"
I'm seeing this Saturday evening. Heard some very negative reviews about it though.
Anyone made any stella jokes yet?
Just found out this is 169 minutes long. That's a ridiculous running time.
It really didn't drag for me. It fairly flew by.
If they made Danzel Washington the lead alongside Hathaway and Chastain and called it Interracial I'd probably be more interested.
Seeing a fair few mixed reviews of this, with the the common criticism being that it's clunky, uneven and overblown....
I guess a nearly three hour long sci-fi was always likely to attract that sort of criticism though.

Washington can't be bothered to do anything anymore, just get Jay Pharaoh. He's a better Denzel Washington than Denzel Washington.
What. A. Racist. French. Pig.
I'm best friends with Willy Sagnol.
