I'll be back.
Saw nightcrawler and fury at thevlocal theater. I say fury was better with the cast and acting.
Delta Phi said:Saw Interstellar over the weekend. It didn't blow me away like I had hoped, but the more I ruminate on it, the more I really like it. I definitely need to see it again to finalize my opinion. For Science Fiction, there's a lot it apparently gets right. I've never seen a movie so heavily discuss, and it's such an important part of the narrative, so I appreciated its originality there. There's a few moments where the characters do some questionable things,relativityand the first/second act is a compound of convenience, granted, it gets explained away later.
Delta Phi said:I thought the robots stole the show. Didn't expect to see Matt Damon show up either. It was a pretty nice surprise, even if his role was fairly small.
Delta Phi said:I thought the score was a marked improvement over the last couple titles Hans Zimmer has attempted. Still, at times the music was overpowering, and not in a good way. I'll blame some audio engineer on that.
Aazealh said:Finally saw it today myself. It was better than I expected. Easily one of Nolan's best I think, in large part because of the acting and the way the emotions are captured.
Griffith said:He likes it, he likes it! Well, now I have to go see it.
BTW, I think that's really how Walter and I decide whether to invest our time in something or not. Too bad it's not always reciprocal. *cough*breakingbad*cough*

Oburi said:As a huge fan of Kubrick's 2001, I was secretly hoping for longer, slower paced shots of space and otherworldly planets. The movie began to get too ... talky? Too much exposition. More show, less tell. I was certainly engaged the whole time though. And I loved score.
I really wanted this movie to just blow me away and although it most likely is one of Nolan's better films ... man, I wish he just cut the dialog down and concentrate on the visuals more. Like imagine if at the end of 2001 when David is entering the next step in human evolution instead all those wonderful visuals the characters just explained everything that was happening.
Walter said:I'll admit I haven't fully processed the ending yet. Is the implication that Brand is still out there, having activated Plan B on the other planet (sort of like a soldier who doesn't know the war is over), but hasn't been reached by the modern world yet. And only Cooper can navigate to her, because … of love? Did the technology that allowed him to intervene in the black hole come from a distant future, beyond the one he eventually ends up in?
Closing thought: as the theater emptied, I realized it was almost exclusively populated by guys, and that really bummed me out...
IncantatioN said:Read recently of people complaining the dialog was inaudible, I didn't get any of that.
Walter said:I felt the weakest part was in the middle, where the entire movie almost becomes adrift with Dr. Mann. The whole scenario mostly serves to add a few scenes of dramatic tension and little else (except to perhaps elaborate on the complications of what a project of this type can do to people, and how the human element can wreck even the best-laid plans.) But I can hardly complain, since they successfully made an action sequence about docking.

IncantatioN said:When he was found drifting in space and they revived him, they said he was over a 100 years old but because time was relative when he was exposed to the tesseract/singularity and the first plus Mann's planets, he didn't age as much. The same relativity would have applied for Hathaway's character who in a 100+ years may have spent only a few hours on Edmonds’ planet.
I get the feeling that the black hole was created in the future for them to use for interstellar travel, much like his revelation than there is no 'they', it's man themselves who made everything possible by their own actions.
m said:I saw John Wick the other day and I thought it was really good. It's a very straight forward movie with a very simple plot but it's so much fun. I thought it was really well done. Has anybody else seen it? I'd be very interested in reading opinions from other members.
Aazealh said:I hadn't even heard of it. I'll keep it in mind though if you think it's worth checking out.
NightCrawler said:Interstellar made me think that Prometheus is underrated.
Acting was overall great, but some characters served zero purpose - the most glaring offender being the son.
I think someone said it here before, but the score had some motifs clearly ripped off of Koyaanisqatsi. It was my first thought outside the theatre as i kept humming the tune. Hans Zimmer will probably call it an homage, like the hack he is.
Also saw Nightcrawler. Awesome.

Walter said:This thread is starting to read like an FBI dossier
Jaze1618 said:However after reading reviews online I believe I missed some key dialogue in the movie which make the events in question a lot more acceptable.
