I also want to point out that the comedic relief in this movie from the walking refrigerator robots is VERY well done. His movies rarely have a lighthearted angle and I thought this one did it better than any of his others have.

The one part of the film I think that's difficult to comprehend, and something they didn't really bother to explain, are the fourth and fifth dimensions. 4th dimension is pure time, but the fifth is incredibly complex. This video helps show what the fifth dimension and beyond are: LINK

Yep just got home. Absolutely loved this movie. Brings up a ton of interesting points on society evolving to survive and just general mind frickingness. Definitely going to have to see it again to fully grasp everything.

OP, put spoilers in the title. Nobody can read this without seeing it beforehand

It doesn't say that at all. Jesus Tap Dancing Christ. Y'all look stupid saying this, since the film goes well out of its way to NOT do this. Nolan wanted to not piss off the retarded hardcore conservatives by suggesting the humans fricked up the environment. It never says that. I guarantee no less than 20 of you idiots come in here bitching about that as a point, when that's not the point of the film at all.


Preach brother!

Could not agree more

I really can't wait until the soundtrack for this movie is released on the 18th. The music playing while Cooper and Brand are attempting to dock above the ice planet is just epic.

This 3 part little article has helped explain a lot for me.

quote:

As for how Cooper survives his time inside the Tesseract, and how he intends to reunite with Amelia? Nolan simply reapplies the same theory that has been present the entire film. Given that time moves slower near the gravity pull of the black hole, Cooper’s ejection from the Tesseract is only seconds for him, but over half a century for the rest of humanity. Keep in mind, if the ratio of time on Miller’s planet was 1 hour for every 7 years on Earth, the proportion would be skewed exponentially at the absolute center of the Tesseract singularity. As a result, while it appears to Earthbound humans that TARS and Cooper have been floating out in space for nearly ninety years, they were actually only out there for mere seconds as they perceived it.


Edit: Here is my question as well

quote:

No doubt, time-travel die-hards will debate whether the plot results in an unexplained paradox (how did future humans first survive to make a Tesseract – given that there would have been no Tesseract to save them) but Nolan leaves that particular detail up for post-viewing debate.

Was I the only one who thought Damon was miscast? Yeah, it's cool seeing Matt Damon pop up unexpectedly, but not sure if he really fits the character of a misguided coward who is convinced he is the hero for humanity at large. It really immediately struck me watching the film that Terry O'Quinn (Locke from LOST) should have been the one cast, since he can play the cowardly, the courageous, the cocky, the wise, the optimistic, the pessimistic, and fearful man all basically within the same scene, which is what I think was required from the character.

And Marion Cotillard almost certainly should have had Anne Hathaway's role, although she certainly didn't give a bad performance.

This movie actually utilized eastern Kung fu principles of mind over matter.

Cotillard would have been amazing.

O'Quinn is a good call but I felt that Damon pulled off the wormy part pretty well. He got me to hate him so he did a good job. I couldn't wait until the hatch blew

Also... The amount of time that we are talking for Hathaway's colony to develop the ability to operate in 5 dimensions has to be insanely long. Hundreds of thousands of years? Millions? Why would they care to go back? Obviously things worked out well for them. Would they even remember? Our civilization can barely keep track of what happened 4,000 years ago. More importantly, why would they set in motion an event that potentially could change the last hundred thousand years of their evolution?

Just got out the theatre

Holy shite what a ride

Did not expect the humor at all, nice way to be a "deep" movie without taking itself so serious,

Amazing, Nolan deserves tons of props

Also, why did Coop send the same messages and do the exact same things he knew he would ignore? Seemed kinda odd.

There's no indication of an alternate time stream in which humanity could have survived without the wormhole, no indication of anything that could have caused the paradox, everything happens exactly the same way, time and time again.

EDIT: I can't sleep. This shite is boiling in my brain.

He knew he had to for the mission. He future self told his present self about a past mission.
