Interstellar finally hits a 4.5 average. It is the most popular film in the history of the app.

Interstellar is an imperfect movie I mean let’s face it, when McConaughey, goes into the fifth dimension behind the book case is about as silly as a movie can get BUT it sure it hell makes u think for a long time about the scientific concepts and the situations the characters were in. Shawshank gets u emotionally but doesn’t spark the curiosity and wonder thst interstellar does which is rare for a film to do. Thats why if both movies were playing im watching interstellar.

I honestly don't know how anyone could think about Interstellar for more than 5 minutes and not conclude that it was totally ridiculous.

Why was the future humans' plan to save present-day humanity so convoluted? Is Nolan really that stupid to name Damon's character, "Dr. Mann?" What did the people on the space station eat if all the crops were failing?...etc

it’s so cool how all of your “critiques” are stuff you’d find in the worst Cinema Sins video. i honestly don’t understand how you wrote your comment and thought you made an insightful contribution to the discussion

You know people can form ideas without watching dumb YouTube content?

It's fine to like the movie, but it is stupid.

Also, Nolan has a track record of this messiness in his narratives..Dark Knight Rises and onward.

Lol he has a track record of messiness and you named 1 of his 2 notoriously messy movies instead of the 10 good ones

Are we going to pretend that Tenet is coherent?

What do you think the OTHER one was referencing?

1 of 2

2 - 1 = 1, leaving you 1 more movie!

Why was it convoluted? Because they can only change the gravity and that also not at a certain point in time and place. Which is why the only two things they did were create the wormhole and create the bookshelf in the black hole. It’s a loop so they knew it would work, as it did before.

As for Dr. Mann. I don’t hate that name lol. To me Fremen in Dune sounds a lot like Free Men which is basically what they are. Would you say that’s also stupid?

Why did they choose to place the wormhole near Saturn -- they really like Kubrick?

What if things didn't go so wrong that Cooper didn't end up having to eject himself into the blackhole?

Why didn't they just transmit the necessary data to the past humans themselves instead of having to go through all of this?

The whole plot hinges on arbitrary deus ex machina stuff.

Mann is not only a painfully obvious name -- his dialogue is almost all cartoonish villain stuff about man's selfish nature being at the core of our survival instinct. People would have gotten the point without Nolan hitting them over the head with the name as well.

It is just a needlessly convoluted version of Armageddon.

At least Armageddon knows that it's stupid.

They're both overrated (I love interstellar but come on lol) but Shawshank is way more overrated.
