interested but its Christopher Nolan which means it will be probably look amazing but content wise be a bit crap (my fave film of his is still the remake he did, the one with al pacino).

the one in Alaska? that's always overlooked when speaking of Nolan.

 

I think this looks pretty cool. I'm not much of a maconuhay fan, but wormholes

Following was good for his first film before coming to Hollywood if you haven't seen it.

Lorne Malvo in space

Things are happening to fast this morning.

I can't decide if Billy Bob Thornton is any good in Fargo. He's either pretty good or pretty terrible. Help.

Billy Bob is to under acting what Nick Cage is to over acting.

Having said that I really enjoy watching him say the word "what"

 

HHHHHHHHwahhhhttt

They go back in time to save everyone but the magic trick does not work. The end.

i'm not getting this trailer? is mcconaughey's character the last living astronaut on earth?

i hate how i see so many good ideas in movies, but screenwriters or directors or whoever is in charge of this shit decides that a mainstream audience has the mental capacity of twelve year olds and thus the movie needs to spell every little thing out. this applies to exposition, themes, morality, everything. for example, i am not a fan of the part of this trailer where the dude was like, "you're an engineer, but the world doesn't need engineers." and, as if it's not obvious enough, they have to fucking add: "we have plenty of planes blah blah blah... the world needs FOOD."

 

what happened to subtlety in cinema? (translation, because maybe i am being too subtle: SHOW, DON'T TELL LOL)

 

another problem, besides subtlety, is the highly unrealistic dialogue. unless the guy who is saying the aforementioned dialogue went to school for theater and somehow ended up as a government bureaucrat due to nepotism and he just likes being a dramatic piece of shit, then ok that's pretty realistic. but i assume that astronaut recruitment would be way more boring, probably initially done through a letter and then a meeting with a lot of academic jargon.

 

there's a lot of ways it could go down and obviously it's beneficial to lean towards drama over realism because you have to engage the audience. the problem is when it sways too much in the direction of drama, and realism goes out the window. it's a delicate balance that has to be maintained, otherwise the scene or what have you will just look fucking stupid.

 

i guess i'm just really bored with movies that have a cartoonish interpretation of the human experience, one that distills emotional and intellectuality complexity into, "NOW I'M HAPPY, NOW I'M SCARED, NOW I'M RELIEVED, NOW I'M DETERMINED."

it's a newer nolan film so it will be rife with spectacle and make no sense when you think about the plot a few days after you saw it

I agree, but that's the rules of the spectacle. it's easy to talk about balance, but name those balanced spectacular films of such scale? I bet they all had its ridiculous aspects. It's epical and epos goes along with pathos.

Say man, did you bring a joint to the wormhole? Because it would be a lot cooler if you did.

I fucking hate Matthew McConaughey. I might skip this one.

Which one, old goofy one or new serious one, or both? I didn't even care to remember his name before seeing Killer Joe.

new trailer the password is 7201969

A new sci-fi movie is always welcome for me so will be seeing this at some point almost certainly. Will keep my expectations to a minimum, something you learn when it comes to sci-fi on the TV or the cinema.

I agree with Hoodie on this one

 

Besides this BBT is kind of doing my head in right now after his turn in Fargo.

Potential for disappointment but fuck it.

from the trailer i have no idea where they are going with this.

Glad I'm not the only one - The trailer seems to set up the establishment of the characters but not what it's actually going to be about. Man goes in rocket and takes off into space and ...... what exactly ?
