Interstellar -- Trailer (Spoilers!)

I thought Murph had gone into the room as she felt something drawing her to it, some unexplained feeling she had , possibly her love for her father and his for her , ie love transcending space and time.

Who knows expect for Nolan lol
 
I am going to watch this next week but I have really low expectation, I am expecting good visual and cruddy ending that ruins the movie....

Secretly I am hoping I am wrong.
 
I also had another question.

There were originally twelve planets through the wormhole and NASA sent twelve astronauts, each to land on a planet and report back about its ability to sustain human life. Trouble is, when Cooper and team traveled through the same wormhole they only had three planets as options.

Why were they only able to choose between those three and not the original twelve?
Is anyone able to clarify that?
The other planets were around other stars, it was one of the reasons they picked this system as there was 3 separate planets and they could only go to one star.

It's just an idea isn't it. We all like to throw around ideas and practically everyone who has watched this at the cinema is going to have lapses in memory or misunderstood a few parts.

People aren't grasping onto particular ideas but merely discussing there actual/potential relevance.
I thought it was fairly obvious from that initial conversation between them that there was something going on between the two of them. She kinda goes a bit doe eyed when she's speaking about him.

Glad to see there's someone else here who recognised a link between Amelia and Dr Edmunds. I thought it was pretty obvious too, but there you go. Chronic, I'm not even sure why we're arguing about the love theme in the film. I didn't particularly like it either, I was just responding to Glaucus who seemed to be dismissing it as irrelevant within the film. The fact it is in there as a central theme is indisputable, whether it's a good thing that it's in there or not.

On another note, I went to see Nightcrawler last night and I actually preferred it to Interstellar. It's in my top three films of the year.
 
OK so:

When Cooper comes back into Saturn space, are those the lights of a SPACE AMBULANCE that appear in front of him!!!???
At the end, is Cooper's son dead? Because nobody mentions him.
Why did Murphy make the trip to Cooper Station?
Can Cooper just hop in a spaceship and visit Brand on her planet, like Luke Skywalker going to Dagobah?
How come the deleted scene of Brand talking about Love Transcending Time and Space remained in the movie?
Why did Mann and Cooper need to travel ON FOOT miles and miles and miles...? Why wasn't there an astronaut called Fram by the way?
Er, how come there are habitable planets sitting in space on the other side of the wormhole within reasonable travelling distance anyway?
The planet that's orbiting the black hole, does it have a sun? Or just X-rays from the black hole? Would deadly radiation be an issue in respect of habitability?

1. Not sure, don't remember this part.
2. He wasn't mentioned, but given that Murph is at least 90 years old I think it's safe to assume he's dead.
3. She made the trip there presumably to join everyone on their way to the new colony. She had been in stasis so couldn't have known about Cooper's recovery.
4. Again, not sure on this one. The wormhole disappears at the end, so unless the equation allowed Murph to create technology to somehow travel faster than light (akin to a hyperdrive), I don't see how he could get there in time.
5. I didn't know it was a deleted scene? The Nolan brothers obviously thought it was an important scene to reinforce the theme of love.
6. Again, can't remember this bit properly, they had two ships on the planet's surface so not sure why they couldn't fly down to the surface.
7. The wormhole was placed by future-humans, it's not naturally occurring, so the future-humans wanted habitable planets within reach. Why the other end of the wormhole wasn't nearer Earth I don't know, maybe too much gravitational pull or something like that.
8. There isn't a sun in the system they go to, but the accretion disk around the black hole gives off a similar amount of energy to our own sun, according to a science behind interstellar thing I watched.

1. Could have been flashing lights, could have been glinting sunlight
3. It was kind of implied that she knew he would return, but I would need to re-watch it to be sure.
4. If you can manipulate mavity, you're well on the way to creating wormholes through bending space.
5. Pretty much a plot device, but Mann didn't have a spacecraft when he explored the surface so he knew the way by foot.

It was obvious. Between Amelia and Edmonds.
Live was important in the film, didn't day otherwise. It was the noises about love being some sort of physical force transcending tome and space, that was utter nonsense and in no way integral to the film and the few speeches about it made no sense
 
Wasn't the whole love transcending time and space actually just Brand trying to manipulate the other two to go to Edmonds planet?

(I thought he was asking cause he wanted to bang Hathaway and was jealous.)
I thought this was fairly obvious as well and was why he asked TARS just to see what the actual deal was between the two. Why do you think he went after her in the end?
 
Saw this on Saturday night with the wife. Both of us thought it was complete and utter tripe and we are a pair of sci-fi fans. Talk about a over hyped film!! The music was far too loud and you couldn't hear a lot of the talking and the last 15-20 mins was just ridiculous. Several people walked out half way through.

Not imo, it seemed far more than that as it's referenced else where as well. Although made no sense and changed no choices, just seemed shoehorned in, or badly edited. Some mumbo jumbo theory, which director seemed to want to make important and integral and utterly failed.

Seems the several who jumped on me, are having to rethink as more people post, saying it was nonsense or didn't notice it.

But she was the one that brought it up in the first place about love transcending time and space in order to get them to go to her guy and then faced by a seriously ****ed up scenario Cooper is going to try and rationalise it that it was all because of his love for his daughter and maybe she was right after all, when as you say functionally the future humans just needed a conduit to communicate with the daughter who they knew would develop the technology.

Yes, love is a theme through the film, but the idea that it was the "power" of love that allowed the communication through time isn't actually stated in the film - what is stated is that perhaps time in their dimension is like one of our 3 dimensions and you can go up and down it like a hill and that mavity could be manipulated.
 
Disagree as do others. Who actually think the love transcends stuff is actually a massive and good part.

She starts of with just normal love, then goes into the nonsense. And as said it is referenced in several other places.
It doesn't work and spoilt the film somewhat for me. The livery theory just isn't needed and makes no sense.
 
I called it utter rubbish as it is.

Murph does not decipher anything due to love transcending. She calls it a ghost and cooper says well prove it in a scientific method. So she does that by keeping notes and seeing a pattern.

Murphy does not choose any landing spot due to love. He picks them in logical order.

He sacrifices himself again due to logic and ensuring mission success, he does not know he will survive.
The terrace is only built to see morphs room, in every picture and stand of light in the retract it is all morphs room, so again no love needed here, it is just what was built.

So yes the love thing was shoe horned in and made no sense to the film. It made no impact on the choices of murph or anyone else.
And the only thing it was involved with was Amelia wanting to go see her BF, but again that's just love, it's not transcending anything. And Murphy overhauled her anyway,

how can you expect anyone to take you seriously when you can't get the character names right? clue: murph was not the pilot who went into space.

live and tome eh? :D i know this is nothing new for you. most of your posts require some sort of translation into english before you can read them. :p
 
Sound was fine at my regular showing, but

when the air lock blew, I just about **** myself with the bang in stereo from the left. Properly jumped.

:rolleyes:
Typo, I think it's clear I know who murph is considering the first line, or did you skip over that,

As to the sound, the sound was amazing. Dolby ATMOS, I can understand how some might feel it's to loud, but I like movies like that.

You're simply misunderstanding it, so you're ascribing things to it that aren't really appropriate.
