A lot of gravity bashing here. Wondering if these ppl saw it in Imax 3d. Sucks on a tv.

visuals don't make up for shitty everything else. all they did is do the overused "girl gets lost in wilderness" and put it in space instead.

Can someone explain why this was such a great movie? Also, Gravity. I just can't see the appeal...


Because it's not often you see a film that actually engages the minds of the audience. do i think it was great entertainment? no, but it was a respectable movie for actually going an intellectually stimulating route vs basic space travel predictability.

like the part where they go to the gravity dilation planet and find the capsule and afterwards she says that she would of only died moments ago according to her perceived time but outside of that time dilation it had been years.

its just stuff like that which actually has the audience use their brain even a little bit that can make a movie great.

it's basically the same reason inception became such a talked about film...just the final few seconds in that movie were talked about more than most movies in the entirety.

This. Gravity was just a bad movie, it was eye porn with no depth, not something I'm ever going to enjoy.

I don't understand how anyone can consider Interstellar an intellectually challenging film when literally everything is spelled out, they even explain to an austronaut how a black hole works if that's not pandering then I don't know what is.

I like Nolan but there's nothing subtle about any of his films really.

I think that's actually a good thing. He likes talking about stuff that is sometimes complicated to properly understand for the average viewer, but instead of being pedantic about it he breaks it up and explains it so that almost anyone who is paying attention can follow it. He did the same thing with Inception.

I do agree though, that an astronaut not knowing how a blackhole works is ridiculous. I also thought of that when I saw the movie; it would have felt less akward if Nolan had scripted something like "well, you know how this works... bla, bla, bla" or something like that.
