Is it better than The Avengers?It's definitely more artistic than the Avengers.
On a side note, I hated the movie. I've never felt more uncomfortable in a movie theater.Why is that?
The plot made absolutely no sense; it was pretentious, preachy and had not a single realistic line of dialogue. The visuals were breathtaking however.On a side note, I hated the movie. I've never felt more uncomfortable in a movie theater.Why is that?
I will not cast my vote on the movie of the year until I've had a chance to see the new Hobbit movie. If it can live up to the commercials I've seen so far, it should be a great movie.
See, I assumed that things would continue with the general tone, with a full on 2001 type of ending. The second planet ends up roughly the same way the first one did ("darn, it doesn't work for some really cool reasons!"), they move on, and get to the third planet and it ends up being aliens. That's what I expected, and because I have so much respect for 2001, I was more than okay with that as an ending. It fit the tone and narrative that Nolan, up to that point, had built.I'm really glad it didn't. I didn't want a 2001 remake. It ended largely how I expected it to end: the space time continuum was kept in tact while still blowing minds due to relativity.
Blade Runner might not have done well financially when it first came out, but people are still talking about it because it was infused with all these big ideas. Scott was also talking about very big themes in Prometheus. It was being driven by people who wanted the answers to huge questions. But I thought that we could do that without ever getting too pretentious. Nobody wants to see a movie where people are floating in space talking about the meaning of life.

I think they really wanted this movie to be called "Gravity". :PDifferences between Gravity and Interstellar:
Yeah, I hated Gravity almost as much as The Avengers.oh noes, I would love to debate movies with you on like youtube
Yeah, I hated Gravity almost as much as The Avengers.My question is whether you like Interstellar more than your previous favorite Nolan film? So which is it, Interstellar -or- Batman Begins?
Haven't seen it enough yet. I think BB will likely win out due to themes of identity, fear, etc. while Interstellar just had "LOVE TRANSCENDS EVERYTHING YAAAAAAY", which wasn't even that well done if I'm being totally honest.Yeah, I hated Gravity almost as much as The Avengers.My question is whether you like Interstellar more than your previous favorite Nolan film?

Ha ha, I never looked at it that way, it's kind of like a movie about Jesus! :preach:
Picking a favorite Nolan film is as futile as picking a favorite Scorcese.
Picking a favorite Nolan film is as futile as picking a favorite Scorcese.I personally prefer Martin, although I could see someone picking Domenica.
1) Goodfellas, 2) Wolf, 3) Last Temptation, 4) Taxi DriverNo Raging Bull?
What is it?The Departed
Point Made. Note that his only Oscar winning film isn't even mentioned yet.That's because The Departed is mediocre at best.

Those are the worst, I wonder if Interstellar will be nominated for any awards?
I really think Interstellar deserves the Sound Design award and the Best Visual Effects, but I highly doubt it will be nominated for Best Picture or even Best Director. (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is also a frontrunner for visual effects I imagine). Also, having read the screenplay (which is surprisingly tiny by the way), I don't think it has a chance in the Best Original Screenplay department. Too much competition this year.Those are the worst, I wonder if Interstellar will be nominated for any awards?
Interstellar is going to win pretty much all of the technical awards this season. There are a handful of movies that rival it, but really, there's too much hype surrounding Nolan right now, and even if there wasn't, it's still better than anything else released this year on a technical basis. The thing I'm most excited to see in the tech department right now is sound design, and that's mostly to see whether the Academy "gets" Nolan's decision to have some of the dialogue get drowned out by the music and sound effects. It'll pick up nominations for Best Picture, Best Director (which will be Nolan's first), and maybe even Best Original Screenplay, but I'm not holding my breath for him to pick up his first Oscar win in any of these categories any time soon (though if it's any of them, it'll be Best Director). This is the first film Nolan's done that's pretty clear Oscar-bait, and it's well-executed enough that it'll get him what he wants.
I didn't see dawn of the planet of the apes, :( but I looked good...One of my favorites of the year, along with Boyhood, The Grand Budapest Hotel and Noah.
Grand Budapest Hotel was fantastic, I need to see Boyhood. Noah was just okay.I didn't see dawn of the planet of the apes, :( but I looked good...One of my favorites of the year, along with Boyhood, The Grand Budapest Hotel and Noah.
The second act (of Noah) was weak, however atmospherically and creatively speaking I was in love with it. Boyhood is an instant classic and made me realize Ethan Hawke is a great actor.Grand Budapest Hotel was fantastic, I need to see Boyhood.

I wonder what his rivals will be for any awards?I'm pretty sure that the conclusion of the Hobbit will be up there for quite a few categories.
made me realize Ethan Hawke is a great actor.Have you never seen "Dead Poet's Society"?
Just got back from the cinema. Hobbit 3 was a bit anticlimactic and overall plotless.This doesn't surprise me in the slightest. I don't know how they let PJ convince them to make it a 3-parter anyway.
Go see it in a theater. It's some of the best cinematography of the year, and anyone who says otherwise should not be taken seriously. It's a gorgeous film, and it really deserves to be experienced in a theater, regardless of opinions on plot.Blah, blah, blah.
