I like Interstellar, but Inception was a lot better at least to me.


Despite really enjoying Interstellar when I saw it in the theater, I've only seen it that one time. I've watched Inception probably 6 or 7 I'd guess and shown it to my sons.

I like both endings.

A caveat to that… I like the last 10 minutes of Interstellar. The 10 before that stop it from being my favorite movie ever.

I never have seen an explanation for how he’s going to “go find” brand with the wormhole closed. Anyone?

The wormhole didn’t close. They knew Brand had discovered a planet confirmed to be able to sustain life and humanity since she sent back a signal from the planet.

I thought they specifically said it had closed (and he had gotten “spit out” and rescued)..?

I watch Interstellar more these days.

But Inception was perhaps the best movie theater experience I've had. Just loved every second of it. Was jealous of people when they'd tell me they were going to see it for the first time.

Love Interstellars ending



i liked it too but you have to ignore that by the time he ever got back there she would be long dead with her bones bleached in the sun

the whole point of the movie was that no matter what they did, time kept moving faster than they ever did

The Tesseract had closed, but not the wormhole, which is what the Tesseract used to expel him. The ship was right there for a reason and it’s because they were right in front of the wormhole. Cooper couldn’t have survived for more than a few hours outside of it.

Inception Vs Tenet feels like a better fight.

Who thinks Tenet is better than Inception? Like I think Interstellar is better than Inception, but at least there’s a debate. Inception beats Tenet in every category I can think of.

Tenet is Nolan at his worst. It's as if he listened to all the complaints about his films and turned it up to an 11

Nolan: So the idea with the film was that it was a wormhole that leads us to a place that creates an opportunity for us and then disappears. By the end of Cooper's journey, the wormhole is gone. It's up to us now to undertake the massive journey of spreading out across the face of our galaxy. Brand is still somewhere out there on the far side of the wormhole. The wormhole has disappeared entirely. It's gone.
IGN: And he has to try and get to Brand in this little ship?
Nolan: That's the idea.

Jonathan Nolan said that, not Christopher or Kip Thorne. I think either of them would explain to him the stupidity behind that even if he didn’t understand it. The movie’s title is “Interstellar”. So forget if he has a ship fast enough to go throughout the galaxy. In all likelihood Brand is in another galaxy. And it’s heavily implied they got her signal, which makes Murph tell Cooper to go find her.

And if the wormhole is closed, they’re still fricked. There’s not a viable candidate of a world in our solar system to colonize. The Tesseract closed not the wormhole.

I’m sorry, but Jonathan is simply wrong here. This is as irrelevant as Ridley Scott insisting Deckard is a replicant but the writer and Harrison Ford vehemently disagreeing with him. It doesn’t make sense any other way, especially since Cooper wouldn’t have been rescued if the wormhole wasn’t there.

you sure do like to preach in absolutes about creative works of fiction LOL...

The dude co wrote the movie I’m pretty sure he knows what he/they wrote. As I said, that doesn’t make it make sense (it doesn’t), but I’m gonna go ahead and take the word of the guy who wrote the script, if that’s OK

The wormhole is closed.
the ending doesn’t make any sense.
those two things can both be true

Tenet enters the conversation


Legitimately one of the worst major movie releases in 20 years due to that alone. Tenet is basically Nolan blowing himself for 3 hours
