Interstellar (2014)
A weird little alternate timeline movie with some pretty neat ideas. Unfortunately it keeps getting dumber and more implausible as it goes on (for reasons mostly unrelated to science fiction). It's still enjoyable and a pretty good popcorn movie if you don't think too hard about it.
I like the robots they use as well. They have a deceptively simple design that doesn't try to imitate humans but still provides interesting and efficient utility.
Small ding: whoever adult Murph is is a really bad actor.
(small spoiler) larger ding: the climax of the movie being someone looking at a malfunctioning watch and unlocking the secrets of the universe from that.
Neat movie though. Bit of an unusual thing for Hollywood to make.
@RustyCrab Loved that movie when it came out. So many fresh ideas I've never seen before and a good soundtrack. And the story was pretty emotional too.
I "get it", but there's a question of exactly how much there is to get. For me it's a question of what the signal to noise to ratio is. I get the overall plot... I think. Some of the subplots, or why some key events happen did not click for me. Specifically the guy who kills himself in the club, or what exactly the point of the "drug that isn't a drug" was.
The presentation of the show (intentionally) creates a disjointed spattering of clips that you're not supposed to know how to parse yet. It would take at least one rewatch to know how each of those are significant in real time.
@RustyCrab@inertia me when the VRChat troon acts like it's the most hard fucked show to watch after he scrambles his brains for 12 hours on fucked up pornography and larps as a lain fan online
@inertia yes it's overall a good movie. I don't have a lot of problems with it but the few problems I have are big ones. Mainly hinging major plot points at characters looking at something completely innocuous and all of time and space unfolding in their brain because of it.
And yes it's an interesting set of ideas, especially for a movie that wasn't based on a book.
@RustyCrab Yeah, and that what makes Nolan the best. He always brings an interesting concept to the table.
I really hate schema-f marvel movies. Whats the point of watching, if you already know everything it's about from the movie poster?
