re: Saw Interstellar for the first time: blown away SPOILERS

Did anyone finally understand the part with the last girl set up on the other planet and Matt goes to find her after getting off the space station near Saturn?


That girl is probably 20 years ahead of him in another galaxy. That blew my mind when I realized that after a second watching

Well if you're in the camp that believes the wormhole is gone, he will literally never find her again most likely.

I really liked the movie a lot. I had big problems with the last 30 minutes or so, but I can still appreciate the ambitiousness Nolan took to make it as true to science and theory as possible. I just think the end falls a bit short and turns a fantastic movie into just a very good one.

But that being said, I liked it a lot. And it was very cool seeing it in "IMAX" (Br doesn't have a true IMAX, but it was still cool as hell). My only other gripe really is that the movie was too loud at times, but apparently that was intentionally done to a degree.

I loved it. Nolan certainly did his research with this one, because he got in deep with the space-time theories. Unfortunately that was his main flaw, because it takes more than the final 45 minutes to explain something so freaking complex.

He didn't really.

Why do they need a huge amount of fuel to leave Earth, but not so much to leave the water planet that was arguably the same amount of gravity?

I actually didn't like it. One of the few on this board that fall into that category it seems.

I didn't see it until recently and I agree. A lot of it didn't make any sense (and I'm not talking about the science part).

SPOILERS AHEAD

First planet:
Ann Hathaway's irrational need for the data or whatever from the prior scientist that gets other guy killed and almost gets all of them killed. What is it that she is trying to get? As I understand it, details about the environment on the surface of the planet. That they are on. She is willing to risk multiple lives including her own to find out details about the conditions of the place where she currently is. That, in addition to her being able to observe in real-time, presumably her ship and robot are also recording. Spoiler alert: Its watery and not great. Source: its literally where you are. It's like jumping into a burning building to save a report on the flammability of the building materials.

Matt Damon:
His motivation in attempting to kill McConaughey the way he does is dumb. What is his end game? He lures him out in hopes of finding suitable habitat, kills him, and then what? Now he's in the same situation as before, just with one less McConaughey and more suspicion. There are so many ways to kill the others that wouldn't involve risky space suit fighting.

Ann Hathaway at the end:
Ignoring any issues about how Anne Hathaway and McConaughey are any where near the same age or how McConaughey's daughter would know their relative ages:
Why would McConaughey's daughter send him to Anne Hathaway? How does she even know they like each other (they don't, as far as I can tell)?
What scenario would create a situation where Anne Hathaway's boyfriend is recently dead but she isn't? Wouldn't he have frozen himself and waited? Is McConaughey supposed to help her with her now moot raising of a shitton of babies. Wouldn't it be better to just tell her that it's cool, we survived?
The implication is that McConaughey is going to make it to Hathaway with both around their current ages, so clearly the trip there isn't expected to take that long - relative to the Hathaway's time or the traveler's time - so why has no one gone to see her? In the prior 50 years, did no one think "Oh right, magic alien portal appearing out of nowhere to save humanity that we sent people through that apparently we have a space station right next to...and that contains the future home of our species...should we check it out and see if those people we sent through survived?" Hell, McConaughey's daughter is like the most famous human alive; did she not at some point say "I wonder if my dad is still on the other side of that magic wormhole that is the most amazing thing to ever happen in human history but that we just we've just been ignoring for decades; maybe we should send a robot or a ship to see what's up"? No, definitely needs to be McConaughey who needs to leave right this minute and can't even spend like 7 extra minutes with his daughter who he allegedly loves so much that their love is the magic force that holds the universe together or whatever.

3rd hour:

Had a conference in Austin and was able to see it on their 70mm Imax theater there....I didn't understand parts at the end (maybe if I ever watch it again but that's doubtful), but it certainly was a spectacle, and I did enjoy it.

That would be dumb bc Christopher Nolan specifically said it was still there. It was posted in thread early last year

And then, when they finally do get to meet up, both are like "hey...well this is awkward, bye." And then she send him off to do (1) something unclear with some woman, (2) on a now-moot mission, (3) that she doesn't know, (4) that he never had a particularly good relationship with, (5) whose relative age is completely unknown, and (6) that as far as either of them know is alone with her boyfriend or dead, and his response is "Good call, well, I better hurry right this moment without permission for no reason, have fun dying and also I have no interest in meeting my grandchildren or great grandchildren and they have no interest in meeting me". The End.

Ok, this is kind of true and it made me scratch my head when I watched the movie. Just harness the good energy, block the out the bad.

One of my favorite movies of all time.

The score in the film is amazing, only knock is that at times it made hearing the dialogue hard to hear.

The ending was way out there, I'll agree there, but like someone else said how else do you really end a movie like that?

I know some people don't like it, I made my girlfriend watch it and she was bored to death throughout.

I don't think it was said that they needed it. Just saves fuel for the Ranger, basically gives it a free trip to Orbit.
