...goddammit good movie.
First of all, this is a Queen web, so it's links with Queen. Relativity is very important in the movie and at times looks like it tells the story behind '39.
Second, i did my research and the science behind this movie is very accurate, using data from the Cornell University and California Institute of Technology they created the most realistic representation of a black hole to date.
third, this movie throws some subtle but great moments, like the study dammit! the anti cynical view and the power of sciencie. All that without being boring or pedantic.
And fourth, the score of Zimmer, to date is (imo) one of his finest works with tracks like "Cornfield chase", "Coward" or "S.T.A.Y".
They should screen this movie in schools.
What a dickhead thing to say after someone took the time to post a detailed review of something they are obviously passionate about.
I agree with the topic starter. For those of us who aren't in the "16 and Pregnant" generation of only having a 22 minute attention span, I found the movie to be absolutely brilliant. And scientifically accurate, indeed. Neil deGrasse Tyson gave it his thumbs up.

I must say, I'm 14 (next to 15 in June) and with a *put the time you wish* days attention span. That's kinda' like an insult, but I got what you said.
And well, mooghead likes to joke in every single thread he can, which doesn't means what he says is his truth or that he's a stupid teenager.
And to close this comment, I must say that I have to watch it (I wish I had the time... oh dear fuckin' catholical college...).

I don't think you did.
"16 and Pregnant" is the name of a TV show in the US that appeals to the lowest common denominator.
As there are no dinosaurs, zombies or aliens in it, I did not enjoy it.
It's also about an hour too long. You could save yourself a lot of time by watching an episode of Stargate Universe instead.

Haha, good one! You got me for a few seconds there.
It is indeed a bit of a marathon to watch. Saw it at the cinema with a couple of classmates from uni and remember my knees being all shaky when it was over. One of my greatest experiences ever at a cinema. Being a freelancer in the 3D visualisation field, my mind was thoroughly blown by the special effects.
It was visually beautiful, not going to doubt that. I don't know much about the sciences, so I can't really comment on that part. But personally, I didn't find the film to be that great. A modest 7/10 in my books. Not a bad movie by any means, but I didn't think it was as great as everyone made it out to be before I saw it. Maybe if it wasn't hyped as the best sci-fi film since 2001: A Space Odyssey, I would have enjoyed it.
But that's just my opinion.
best cinematic experience in recent years to me. Spectacular visuals and beautiful score.
I watched the Discovery Channel "The Science of Interstellar" docu the other day and it just makes the film better.
very good movie...
photography was stunning, cgi/fx were really nice, also liked the audio effect of using "ultra-silence" to create a vacuum effect on the ears.
the science stuff worked well except for Cooper somehow managing to come up with the "save fuel" idea as they approached "the planet" from gargantuan the first time...surely his scientist companions shoulda known that, esp when much less complicated stuff later on he didn't know.
also annoying how sci-fi movies always use the old "slingshot" chestnut to reduce travel times...travel from earth to saturn (typically) is 5-7 yrs...they took 2 yrs in the movie

I'm quite a movie buff, and Interstellar was one of the very best movies I've ever seen. Yes, there were a few silly things in the plot. But I found it absolutely astoundingly great. I'd put it in my Top 10 list of favourite movies ever, probably in my Top 5, along with Goodfellas and greats of that kind.
