It doesn’t come to streaming services often so thought I’d throw a headsup.

It’s not my favorite movie ever but it’s thisclose due to a dumb sappy ending.

That aside, brilliant themes, soul wrenching music, and some amazing science and concepts. I’m still captivated by this movie almost 10 years later.

I struggle to say it’s Nolan’s best but it’s my favorite.I can easily say it’s probably my favorite movie to not win Best Picture.

I guess I was a sucker for the ending and I love that movie.

I don’t hate the last 10 minutes but I hate the 20 before that. Just a cop out.

ETA: just to clarify it’s my second favorite movie of all time. I’m not hating on it as a whole. It’s wonderful.

To reiterate m, it has 20 minutes I hate. And the rest of it is still so brilliant that it ranks #2.

Good lord, I’m at the part where Coop leaves the farm to his son and takes off and Murph runs out to say bye but misses him. I know that John Williams is the king but Zimmer murders in this. Williams has the better over all career but Interstellar is a Bob Beamon performance.

It's a film that gets better and better on rewatch. There's a few silly things (Hathaway's love speech), and I think Damon was miscast, but overall it's pretty awesome.

Entering the Tesseract and being the one to send messages to Murph has hokey. Being the “them” was cheesy and more fantasy than scifi in my limited opinion. Again, love this movie.

Loved the movie aside from the last 20 or so minutes. It got a little fantastical for me at that point.

When I saw in theaters I had no idea Damon was in it so I was like wow awesome Matt Damon how did I not know he was in this?


And then as you slowly come to realize he’s a POS I thought it was perfect. You think oh wow big star he’s going to save the day-just like the characters in the movie.

Also Matt Damon has that one little quality about him that makes you think while he seems like a nice guy most of the way through there’s a hint of smarminess that he could be a POS especially when the chips are down.

I've only seen it once (recently) and it was on one of the streaming services with commercials; it also took me a couple nights to get through the whole movie. I still really enjoyed it.

Will rewatch on prime (hopefully) uninterrupted.

Still don’t get why they didn’t figure out the time issue on the planet nearest the black hole ahead of time.

Best sound work of all time. Not just the score. The sound as a whole was just stunning.

The family reunion really sucks. Grandad walks in and no one wants to meet him?

It's just a poorly edited scene by Nolan. It's just him and her one second, then he's backing up with a room full of people.
