It's getting rave reviews by a culture that thinks they "fucking love science" because they saw a cool gif on Facebook. Don't take it scientific face-value, just enjoy the ride and set aside the knowledge that using real science would make a movie utterly boring.

My taste in modern blockbusters is usually off from like literally every person on the entire planet so...it disappointed me about as much as gravity did (a lot). the plot didn't make much sense, the physics were COMPLETELY FUCKING WRONG, and the "professionals" that run the space program were incompetent and irrational idiots. also, it was 3 hours long.2/10, would not recommend.Damn, surprised the physics were wrong considering the film advanced the science behind black holes. ACTUAL SPOILERSyeah, there's totally a "3 dimensional 5th dimension" within black holes, allowing us to change the past with gravity or something. that's totally scientific. I just let them run with that. Lottsa spoilersSpoilerThe only bits that bothered me is the fact the gamma radiation coming off that accretion disk would have irradiated everyone's balls. Miller's planet shouldn't have existed and those ice structures on Mann's planet shouldn't have been nearly that stable considering their size. Also the fact they launched the rocket from middle of their fucking work area.SpoilerThere are physical theories(a subset of stringtheory, which I'm skeptical about) where our universe is a 3 dimensional subset of a higher dimensional bulk. Considering they were dealing w/ speculation about what's in a blackhole, god like extra dimensional beings and the fact it's a movie I just let is slide. Kip, the physicist, only worked on the visualizations of the black hole and worm hole so I'm not surprise there were a few mistakes.

2/10, would not recommend.
Especially since this is probably the first time you've heard of time dilation.

That movie triggered RC...
the movie combined with the theater triggered me. their lense was fucked up, their soda machines were broken, the ticket guy was rude, and one of the speakers was broken, so the entire movie sounded like it happened to the left of me.

What is it even about?
Quote from: Yutaka on November 10, 2014, 08:22:23 AMWhat is it even about?SpoilerHumans on Earth are struggling to grow food, and therefore everyone is starving, it's due to dust storms or some shit. Governments are essentially taken down to the bare minimum, no militaries, etc, it's all above making sure the human race survives. There is a secret NASA that nobody knows about, because if the public found out there was money being spelt on a space program while everyone else is starving they'd all go ape shit. Cooper, the main guy in the story finds the coordinates to secret NASA, he also an engineer, and used to be a test pilot, so he's not some retard.Secret NASA found a wormhole that opened next to Saturn like 50? years ago, something like that. They send probes, which leads to that to a few potentially habitable planets in another galaxy, it's also worth noting that these planets orbit a black hole, which is possiblt a binary white dwarf, black hole system, I forget. they end up sending humans in the wormhole to land on the planets, these humans are on a one way mission, they are expecting death, buy they're doing it so they can hopefully one day find a suitable planet for humanity to live on as Earth is in the shit now. For some reason I forget, they can only send back limited data about their planets, so they end up sending another crew of people through the wormhole to retrieve the data from the people on these planets. Cooper ends up being on that second mission, and they get up to shit, I don't want to spoil this, it's the main bit of the movie.Meanwhile on Earth, given that wormholes can actually exist, a physicist comes to conclusion that it's possible control gravity, which would allow them to build huge spacestations on Earth, and lift them into space, and to other planets, so he begins trying figure out a theory to gravity in an attempt to exploit it. There is much more to this bit, but it's a huge spoiler.After this bit is where the film gets good, but becomes more science ficiton. The ending is really interesting.
