This is almost Michael Bay bad


It's funny, I paid a premium price to watch this in IMAX(total waste by the way) and I walked out about 15 minutes before the end. I very rarely do this but Interstellar really deserved to be walked out on.

So you didn't get to see how Coop turned out to be Space Jesus, son of Space God, and how Space Heaven looks like?

There was a lot wrong with this movie. The national denial of the Moon Landing was so ridiculous it was funny. But I kind of thought the weird robot was funny, and I ended up liking the movie's message, such as it was. It was mostly annoying though.

reply

They denied the moon landing because they wanted people to become farmers not astronauts, the film isn't saying we didn't land on the moon, genius. This was a great film and most people who don't like it don't understand it, this entire thread is proof enough.

Theres a great comment on the 'waterworld' thread that really picks up on some big problems with this movie

heres a copy:
I think the oddest part is deciding to land on the water, and of course flying so high above the surface without noticing the enormous waves that are the only feature on the planet.

This movie places a lot of emphasis on HAVING to land on planets to collect data that has already been gathered, even when the beacons are still active. If the beacons were sending the data out, then no landing is necessary.

The only problem with data is that it couldn't go back through the wormhole, but that problem is gone once they pass through the wormhole. Simply having the beacons transmit the data would have prevented anyone from having to RE-LAND on every planet that had ALREADY been landed on.

Also, realistically, they would have done some analysis of the planet from orbit before ever deciding to land.

Oh yeah, and they send out an astronaut to trudge through that water on a planet with higher gravity --- Why not send out the robot to retrieve the beacon? Notice how they waste time waiting for Amelia to reach the beacon, and then finally send out the robot to rescue her AND get the beacon, which it accomplishes in seconds.

Imagine if they'd just sent the robot out... But no, see, these people don't know how to use robots. The planetary analysis was nothing but collecting samples and seeing if the planets were livable, so robots could have done that DESPITE the crazy Dr. Mann's assertion that robots couldn't do it. They could have even had oversight or remote control from a scientist in orbit.

The amount of "we have to land on this planet" going on in this movie is idiotic, especially for a race struggling with resources and time. The movie is not very well thought out.

"most people who don't like it don't understand it, this entire thread is proof enough" or , more likely, we actually have
taste in movies and know crap when we see it. Unlike those who try and defend this garbage.

You’re just a man baby hater and you need to get a life, interstellar is a great film. And yes most haters are too dumb to appreciate the deep themes and complex characters.

You are overly emotional and you are acting like a toddler. Get over it and appreciate how great Interstellar is.

reply

Oh, son. You really don't understand just how bad this movie is. I feel sorry for you. Talk about being a toddler. You are too immature to know better, regardless your age. Your loss. Not mine.

reply

You are hysterical and you are a man baby hater. You need to chill out and appreciate what a great film this is. And it’s your loss because I can appreciate what a great movie this is, you are too stupid too

reply

LOL. you can't even use proper English, so you clearly don't know what a great movie is. Hint: this one isn't. If you didn't know that Cooper was the one sprinkling the dust, then you just aren't that bright to begin with.

reply

Uhhhh where did I even imply that I didn't realize Cooper was the one "sprinkling the dust"???

I know exactly what a good movie is, you're probably more of a fan of Disney Star Wars or Michael Bay's Transformers, the deep themes of Interstellar are too far over your head.

reply

The themes of Interstellar are about as deep as a puddle. Which is also the level of your intellect. You wouldn't know a good movie if someone hit you over the head with it. Your infatuation with this movie is proof of that.
Just more more of Nolan's deux ex machina that idiot's like yourself lap up.

reply

You didn't understand the movie or you were too stupid to fully appreciate it. That's no one's fault but your own. You seriously need to calm down and chill out, you are flipping out over a movie, why waste your time bitching and moaning about a movie you don't like? You need to see a therapist.

reply

Son, you've been carrying on here and dancing like a puppet everytime I pull your string. You rant and rave just because someone disagrees with you. Talk about seeing a therapist. You may want to see one yourself. Along with a course in movie appreciation if you like this fetid turd.

reply

Nice try but I don’t care that much about your opinion. Get over yourself.

reply

You obviously care enough to keep replying . Must be over compensating for something.

reply

Debunking your poorly thought our premise is just entertainment for me.

reply

Love his "poorly thought our premise" when he is defending this junk. He clearly has no clue. He can't even defend his own posts.

reply

Possible the gov't pushed the moon landing hoax for that reason, but it was clear that the people had bought it hook, line and sinker, as evidenced by the bimbo at the parent/teacher meeting.

reply

No elaboration? You're an idiot and this movie is over your head.

reply

You are absolutely right and I have found that most people who hate on Nolan films are too stupid to understand them.

reply

Almost. It is my least favorite Nolan film.

reply

Ummmmmm have you seen Dunkirk?

reply

Yes, I liked Dunkirk just fine. Interstellar was just not very good. I know others love it, but not sure why they think it's so good.

reply

You have a strange taste in movies but you do you.

reply

I've seen more movies and types of movies than most people. My taste varies, but I definitely like what I like and don't like other things. That's life.

reply

Good for you. I still feel sorry for you.

reply

Your standard insult when someone doesn't agree with you. https://moviechat.org/tt2488496/Star-Wars-Episode-VII-The-Force-Awakens/61a826107dda337439bba39e/Please-give-me-an-honest-answer

reply

I didn’t insult him

reply

You weren't very nice, but you have to live with yourself. Choose better.

reply

It’s quite easy to live with myself, you on the other hand may be more of a challenge.

And I only treated you the way you deserve to be treated.

reply

You chose to treat me that way, because I don't like a movie you probably like a lot. Pretty petty. Bye.

reply

Not at all, I just believe that you should speak to people at their level

reply

If you really think that, I’d say you’re so used to insulting people you don’t realise you’re doing it.

reply

What did I say that was an insult?
