While I really enjoyed the film, I found the soundtrack to be disruptive and loud in certain scenes (similar to Inception, done by Hans Zimmer as well), and not very memorable as a whole.the trailer was just "LOOK AT THE ACTOR WE GOT" i still dont know what its about
Unfortunately the trailer showed more than I wish it did. That being said, it's almost 3 hours long so there is plenty of stuff not seen yet.
The 35mm version was available locally between Tues-Thurs, Fri+ is digital which I am going to see again. The music was a bit muffled in 35mm but even so I'm ready to buy the soundtrack which is something I've never done before. It's good!
I'm going to see it again in i-Max in the next few days. This is my favorite music from the movie - probably the main reason I'm buying the sound track. I will definitely need to check out more of Hans Zimmer's work:
There were a couple reasons why I was reminded of Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. I think it will be regarded as a classic film of our time.

Watched it last night, seriously meh movie. I don't and continue not know why people rate Nolan so high. His Batman movies where good but difficult to re-watch due to Batmans silly comedy voice, and really the only good batman movie he made was The Dark Knight. Inception was just desperate to be the next Matrix... And this just seems desperate to be the next 2001.
B-but Prometheus was awful...
If you've not seen 2001 you should probably do something about that ;)
Tbh my biggest issue with the movie was, why not just move to Mars? They have crazy space ****, why not terraform Mars?
I liked the way the movie looks and its respectable how accurate they tried to make it, but that ddoesn't make it a better film.

Yeah I watched that movie a few years ago.
Probably my least favourite of kubrick's films. The whole things was trippy and made no sense. I was told that I should have read the book first.
what a cop-out. If I want to read a good book, I'll read a book. I love reading. What if I want to watch a good sci-fi film? Are there any that don't require book beforehand?
B-but Prometheus was awful...
Totally this! I walked into Prometheus with extremely high hopes, and walked out pissed off. Terrible, awful movie - only redeeming value was the visuals.
I saw it in IMAX and it was a great experience. I like how accurate they portrayed sound in space - none - during the docking or the explosion scene, there was no sound :thumb: I also like how the stage was set in the first hour of the show. How the earth was sick and that there was just so much dust. I do have a hard time understanding the main actor's accent have to resort to translated subtitles once a while. Other than that, it was a remarkable movie. I don't get the last part of the show where he was in this time warp from a different dimension or something. How did he get there? What's happening?
Yeah! That part about gravity transcending the there existences are totally Greek to me. I'm not so smart :(
I gotta say though, I totally dig that water world. The way the tsunami rise and came towards them - very simple in execution but it's just so mind blowing.
But then, how is it that a trip from the orbit into the planet could have age the other guy by 23 years? He was just at the orbit of the planet. It's like saying people in International Space Station just above us will age faster. Did the movie explain why?

Time relativity, due to the black hole. Doubt there are any scientific grounds to that.

I still think the whole idea that the only available planets where, right next to a blackhole... Talk about contrived lol

Well first of all, the wormhole leading to the other galaxy didn't just appear, it was put there by "them aka future us". So there was a reasoning; a black hole that could "age" McConagheys daughter to understand sciency **** and at the same time have his dad be alive to be the puppet master
Love conquers all rabble rabble
But back to topic, the soundtrack was immaculate. Hans Zimmer is a god

What?
I know future humans put the worm hole there, at a really odd place, probably because Venus looks cooler than Mars, but given that there are more stars in the galaxy than black holes, couldn't they have simply picked a collection of planets, or indeed single planet that better matched earth? Hell given what we know already via Hubble and other space telescopes we have found various planets that seem to be nicer than the ones they found, without a massive black hole next door.
The whole thing was so contrived and silly. It only existed to give Chris a reason to age everyone and include time in the plot. Like his son, he only has a son in the movie so that someone can give him updates about earth etc whole his daughter hates him/refuses to talk to him because she's super emo...
Right, but the only way that future 'us' would have know that flying into a blackhole was totally cool would have been to fly into one?
Maybe I missed something but there just seems to be a bit of a logic loop, they couldn't have ever saved the people on earth, without flying into a blackhole, thus flying into the magical gravity thing, that allows you to manipulate time?
Which then allows him to send morse coded messages to his daughter who can feel him there due to 'love' (which is the most retarded logic thinkable) who then solves the riddle and saves earth?
Like I said, maybe I missed something, but if future humans can do all this, why didn't they simply email someone the ****ing maths to someone before the problem with earth ever came up? Or better yet, why didn't they email them the cure to the plague that was DESTOTYING (idk why that's in all caps, ask iOS auto correct) earth?
I know trying to dissect this stuff is missing the point to some extent, but the movies plot seemed so super dumb and super contrived, especially given how much effort was taken to ground a lot of science in actual science.
The plot reminded me actually of a really terrible movie that came out a year or two ago, it was a love movie about a ginger guy who can time travel, except when he has kids and all the men in his family been able to do it. Both dumb contrived plots that only exist for the sake of telling a meh story.
but given that there are more stars in the galaxy than black holes, couldn't they have simply picked a collection of planets, or indeed single planet that better matched earth?Can't give you that as a given. We don't know that there are more stars than black holes, partially because the only evidence we have of black holes is circumstancial: that is: we observe their effect on nearby things to "know" there's a massive object in the vicinity that's not emitting anything. If a black hole is out on its own we can't detect it. We also can't resolve individual planets (usually) unless they're really close, which means there can easily exist black holes with planets orbiting that we have no way of currently knowing about.
Maybe I missed something but there just seems to be a bit of a logic loop, they couldn't have ever saved the people on earth, without flying into a blackhole, thus flying into the magical gravity thing, that allows you to manipulate time?That's what you get when you violate causality.
McConaughey is a great actor and has given some good performances recently (read Dallas Buyers Club, True Detectives)Not to mention those Lincoln commercials.

The acting was pretty good, but the actors weren’t given the best material to work with.i like how gently you put it.
From iTunes, it seemed that Nolan made a movie called Insomnia. Anyone saw that?Yeah, it had Al Pacino in it, I think.
someone transcribed and is playing the main docking tune:
I feel like you'd enjoy the movie more if you take it as it is-a movie.I think people were expecting a more "hard" sci-fi movie and are therefore less willing to suspend their disbelief.
If you're trying to make too much sense of things , you'd see that there are loopholes, and that may eventually ruin the movie for you.
Oh huh, I had forgotten that was Nolan.
Worth watching just to see Robin Williams in a very uncharacteristic role. That one and One Hour Photo which came out around the same time.
Though I don't think "hard sci fi" applies to 2001. I'm usually good at such things, but in this case was completely unable to believe in this one. Certainly the worst kubrick film I've seen.I think it’s much harder to appreciate 2001 in 2014 than in 1968. Too many of the things that were shocking and new about it have now soaked through popular culture and film culture, and seem obvious or clichéd. It’s a film about the imagery rather than the plot or acting, so when the imagery stops having the same punch, it just seems slow and rambling.
I hate how Anne Hathaway always has this look on her face like she farted and is holding back a laugh until someone notices.
I can't stand Matthew Mcconaughey or his acting. The Family Guy sketch with him and Stewie is spot on.I hate how Anne Hathaway always has this look on her face like she farted and is holding back a laugh until someone notices.

I think it's time I watched this....
And just a note about terraforming Mars.. Not gonna happen. Ever. It doesn't have enough gravity to hold a "normal earth" atmosphere. Hope this doesn't burst anyone's hopes of living on Mars bubble, but if you're gonna live there, it's gonna be IN a bubble.
