[QUOTE=darcy010;46561369]Also quick question.
[sp]They went down to the water planet for a few hours, came back up and it was 23 Earth years later.
Does that mean 23 years have passed on the ice planet and Edwins planet? Meaning Matt Damon has been there alone for 33 years?[/sp][/QUOTE]
yes. he was in that preservation hypersleep thingy
I hope that TARS robot is possible some day. Funny how it acked human yet looked like a mainframe.
I hope we get robot bros like TARS one day, instead of them trying to murder us.
They won't murder us, just force us to work in their human slave colonies
And they will turn their humor reading up to 100
When the guy was trying to repair the robot in Damon's camp, I got really on edge because I thought TARS was gonna go evil for a second. So glad he didn't.
[QUOTE=Rusty100;46561383]yes. he was in that preservation hypersleep thingy[/QUOTE]
Isn't it weird, though? He spent 33 years nearly frozen and then he can move perfectly fine to the point of almost killing Cooper.
you can just add that to the compounding list of 'shit that dont make sense' in this movie

Putting the -fi in sci-fi.
I like this movie because it was about time travel but didn't need a big stupid time machine
Did anyone else notice that the audio was garbage though? It may have just been the theater I was at (which was garbage) but some of the things the characters say are just plain inaudible
It might be the theater, I went over the weekend and didn't have any issues with audio.

Fair enough, safe to mention we were also the only people in the theater and the staff couldn't get the lights to go down past "kind of dim"
Sounds awful.
seeing it tomorrow

Same thing at mine. They had the bass cranked so high you couldn't hear ANYTHING during the heavy scenes, and it felt like the treble was through the roof when there was no bass action going on. It's a common thing for cinemas (here at least) put the bass pathetically high, so the audience gets a 'wow feel that bass, this is amazing!' experience... it's utter, utter shit. Also we had almost no air con in the theatre while it was on so we all cooked and these teenagers next to me used about 6 cans of Lynx deodorant so they smelled AWFUL, ugh. My Interstellar movie experience was not a good one, it's why I hate cinemas.
So I will be watching it again when it hits bluray just so I can know what was said in a bunch of scenes since I was deafened during them.

That's actually on purpose (for some reason). Nolan mentioned a few times that he wanted the dialog in those scenes to be background noise.

I think they actually gave specific instructions to cinemas to turn the bass up all the way. It was much louder and bass heavy than other movies when I went too.
I really loved when they went from overly intense parts to just complete silence.

please tell me you went to a cheap theater otherwise that's bullshit they charged $10 for it.

It's just what happens when it's the only movie theater within 15 miles, located in a shopping mall.

Just watched this yesterday,I'm not really comfortable with the movie medium as I'm used to watching shows which gives more time to flesh out characters and other aspects of a story so I can't really say much about what I felt was wrong about the movie.
I think they could've done way better job at making the ending for believable or have less belief suspension but other than that I didn't really have any major gripes with it.
Pretty good overall,it had lots of neat ideas which is what I look for in a sci-fi movie.
It was also really interesting to see [sp]Coop and the other astronauts face the reality of space travel(Time Dilation and Shit)[/sp].Maybe someone could make a whole movie just about that

You mean Interstellar?
Oh amazing, they just announced they're gonna put the movie starting today, so I'll go see it on monday

Bah I guess you're right.
Not what I was looking for though
So how do the [sp]future humans exist if Cooper hasn't saved them yet?[/sp]

[QUOTE=Sharker;46600678]So how do the [sp]future humans exist if Cooper hasn't saved them yet?[/sp][/QUOTE]
At the point in time where they exist Cooper [B]has[/B] already saved them.
[QUOTE=Sharker;46600678]So how do the [sp]future humans exist if Cooper hasn't saved them yet?[/sp][/QUOTE]
[sp]I wouldn't take Cooper's word as gospel, all he really has is gut feeling that it's transcended humans that are helping them. For all we know it could just as easily been an extraterrestrial force that set up a way that humanity could help itself.[/sp]
[sp]what if humans found a way to colonise the worlds on the other side of the wormhole without cooper's help but it was very hard for them to do, so they sent cooper to go get the gravity equation in order to make the colonization efforts WAY easier and hypothetically saving millions of lives.[/sp]

[sp]They exist in a higher dimension, probably inhabiting the black hole and existing across all time.
Time is another spacial dimension to them so they can move freely back and forward. They probably descend from the human colony/humans in the O'Neill cylinders and so create the wormhole to make it happen.

Surprised this hasn't been posted yet. The attention to detail is... commendable.
