re: The official Interstellar thread (spoilers)

Just saw it this weekend. Pretty darn good movie. Even my gf loved it.

The last few pages of this thread are pretty funny.

Rebeloke, I appreciate your attempts at explaining things, but it's very hard to take you seriously when you have misspelled Murphy's Law and tesseract every single time you've typed it. I'm not trying to be a dick, just noticed that you are telling people they "lack mental acumen" when you can't even spell the shite you're trying to explain correctly.

Also, your explanations are fine and all, but I'm not buying them. As stated earlier in the thread, if the answer to the film is "just because" or "because the 5D beings can control everything" or "infinite timeline theory" then that makes the movie fall WAY flat for me. Because it's far too easy and sort of a copout. It's the same thing as saying "because I said so." If those are the actual explanations, then the movie doesn't even have to "make sense," because it's sort fo a deus ex machina that allows it to make sense. That's my problem with it.

And I loved the movie and thought it was great...but the ending made an incredible movie just "really good" for me. And I say that even with an appreciation for the kind of movie Nolan was attempting to make.

I am a loser but not because I don't know how to spell. My iPhone auto corrects terresact to terresac, as well as Murphy to Murphey's and I just don't give a shite, since this is a forum and not a phd seminar. There is no bootstrap paradox here, because there are reasonable explanations for how he ended up in the "terresact" (for the duche). Also I am putting forward one of many ways in which Cooper was able to be in the future before he got there from a linear timeline perspective.

Now your oppinion of the ending I am sure was ruin by many faulty assumptions. But because I am a nice guy I will give you the benefit of a defense. Please tell us why did you not like the ending. I promise I fix that for you too but I need to know what when wrong before I try.

Watch it again. I will give you this one thing: you can never come back to a place you never left.

The problem with the critics of the ending is that they assume things to be s certain way. Let's say the wormhole is closed. That really doesn't matter. Let's say Cooper takes off in a shuttle. No problem. Why? There are reasonable means to make them work. Let's say both are true, he takes off in a shuttle and the wormhole is closed. Well who is to say the colonies on the larger ships don't have multiple ships capable of interstellar travel accompanying them? Cooper takes off in a shuttle and docks to another space ship like the one he took through the wormhole in his other trip(s) through the wormhole? Also maybe now that he has been through a blackhole and TARS has the data he could chart s course to nearest blackhole and use its singularity like a wormhole? Or reopen the wormhole? He has data that makes our current knowledge archaic.

Yeah, but you have to be in the singularity of a blackhole within a tesseract created by 5th Deminsional beings for it to actually work.

I kept telling my friends it was all about the data. Something in that quantum data surpassed our knowledge and helped them figure everything out.

I didn't mind the ending. Going to see it again in an hour.

I'm on page 1. Will read all 82 pages tonight. Just left the theater.

WOW

Going back tomorrow to see it again.

Saw this tonight. I think that was one of the best movies I've ever seen, and now I kind of want to see Nolan take on one of the Star Wars movies. I'd love to see what he could do with the Han Solo spin-off.
