You're very consistent

even the date and the time almost match up

 

Woops! Didn't realize I expressed that sentiment twice. My bad.

If you could go through all the other threads I've posted in and look for similar discrepancies that'd be great.

Thanks in advance!

dayum i walked straight in to them spoilers

Your own damn fault for coming to a thread about a movie that's been out for a couple of weeks.

 

hm kinda, but it would be quite decent if i had have used the

Saw it last week and thinks it's terrible. Like really terrible. Saw it in IMAx. And it doesn't look even that good. LOVE IS THE FIFTH DIMENSION. It's like PAULO coelho in space. New age space crap. TERRIBLE B

INTERCRAP

this is a very, very limited 2-dimensional approach trananhhung

LOL I kept falling asleep during the daddy issues first hour and all that existential mumbo jumbo delivered by the monotonous Matthew mcamconceyaye. And then comes Michael Caine like John Hurt in Contact to give the world another chance. It's so prosaic. Theres nothing mysterious about that wormhole because the casting and dialogue is delivered in a such a rigid and cheesy way. The nice shots serve no purpose except as separators between the drama sequences.i was thinking this was going to be some near religious experience like the tree of life. But no. It's about floating around bookshelves and playing ghost tricks. That scene reminded of the much better shyamalan b thriller with the crop circles that I can't remember the name. And let's not forget Matt Damon showing up to play Matt Damon the bad guy, just to show that humanity will always be violent. That snow fight scene is ridiculous and overtop. So out of place. It's terrible guys. No nuance. No suspense. Cherry on the top? Anne next to an American flag waiting for love to come. But will that wormhole still be there? How does Mathew Macaobeuambey reaches her? He never felt in love with her. For thrills and visual awe, Gravity is years ahead this banal new age intergalactic soap opera. He does his best to recycle sci fi epics (and I mean all of them) but ends up with Paulo coelho in space. LOVE IS BOOKSHELVES IN A FIFTH DOMENSION. never forget.

Soundtrack is a pain and so loud when nothing relevant is happening. It's like throwing needles atvyour ears. Space is all about ligeti and transcendence and post serialism not cheesy emotional chords. Even the solaris remake is more transcendental than this. With a much better soundtrack. I do find it intriguing that nolans first film is one of the best films of the 00s. Memento. He's like aronofsky after requiem. Pi being nolans Following. They complete lost it.

nobody ever mentions nolan's first movie. following. really REALLY great movie made for iirc only $6k (!!!!!!) and its osc is one of the best ever imo.

I did mention it!

might just use em anyway

seʎ

hmm i like that interpretation, very honest. reminds me of the tibetan book of the dead.

Saw it yester eve:

Relativity isn't lining up with quantum mechanics!

Watched it last night...

The soundtrack reminded me of OPN actually - all those grand pipe organs.

Apparently the tidal forces can vary depending on the size of the black hole and not all of them will rip one to bits.

Why would you want to colonize a planet that's anywhere close to a black hole?

correct

you can be past the event horizon without spaghettification (that's the actual, scientific term lol) occurring.

Also I really enjoyed the movie and it's scientific accuracy.

Great visuals too (I read that the CGI file was 800 terabytes of data lol)

that was not the message. I'm sorry you didn't understand.

Yeah I thought that was dumb. That rather pretty disc of glowing debris would surely be kicking out more than enough juicy x-rays to fuck up any orbiting planets (we know black holes do this, that's how they were first discovered!). Also I highly doubt such a disc could provide light source anywhere near uniform or reliable enough to treat it like a normal star. They only flare up based on what the black hole happens to be gobbling up at the time (if anything)

The black hole was basically a plot device to enable all the messed up time dilation. Did look pretty cool though

The xray thing was the only thing I could find that was obviously wrong. (im not saying everything in the movie was accurate though).

Light can escape a black hole, just not once it's past the event horizon.

wat

I found a bunch of scientific inaccuracies watching it. That line about relativity and quantum blah blah not lining up really made me guffaw.

The line about not being able to program "survival" to half-ass explain why they didn't just send in robots (robots that were perfectly able to save at least one astronaut's ass but not able to gather data? Wtf?).

This movie looked gorgeous, but on an engineering level, it was not well thought out at all.
