Not as horrible as the critics made it out to be. |

Watched Interstellar last night and I was very happy with it. Couldn't help but make a parallel with Gravity and Interstellar takes all the points. Did you watch it with anyone else? What'd they think about it? They didn't like it as much. I doubt people that aren't into that genre will like it, it has a more specifically targeted audience than the Batman movies or even Inception |

I doubt people that aren't into that genre will like it, it has a more specifically targeted audience than the Batman movies or even Inception I agree... it's also difficult to look past some of the glaring inaccuracies within the plot. How'd you rectify those in your analysis of the aforementioned film? |

What inaccuracies?

Really? How much time have you got? Bringing in Kip Thorne was a great thing, but it's not just some of the science that Nolan got wrong... There's also cheese galore. "Love is a quantifiable physical force, the one thing that we can feel that transcends time and space"  |

Oh come on now, that wasn't that bad! I agree it's cheesy but you got to have some of these moments if you're going to appeal to the public.
I really don't care as much for inaccuracies. As long as the story keeps you interested in it, then I think the director has done his job.
You're being a little over-critical, expecting accuracies in a sci-fi movie

When they bring in Kip Thorne it crosses the boundary of science fiction... They were trying to be as scientifically accurate as possible. This isn't Star Wars; everyone knows that's bullshit. This was supposed to be a cinematic experience never before witnessed. If you watched it in IMAX then it probably was. However, if you're unable to ignore glaringly obvious plot holes and science that was sooo close to being spot on, then you leave with a movie that was not only unrealistic, but also a story I could've explained to a 5 yr old in 30 seconds and he/she would have said "that sounds stupid". They'd be correct. The science didn't make it a bad movie; Nolan's attempt at dumbing down for the audience did.

I tried to tell you
That's my problem... It's not little things here and there. It's giant parts of the entire film.

It's a matter of personal preference. Like I said, I didn't watch it for the scientific accuracies, I'm not a physicist so I don't care.

Personal preferences are fine and good, but who prefers to watch a movie that makes zero sense and whose plot could be explained in a matter of 30 seconds? Find me that person and I'll tell them about the wonders of intergalactic travel via comets... I'm sure they'd enjoy that too! Buffoons

Interstellar to me is utterly brilliant, best film I have ever seen in a cinema. May be regarded as one of the best movies of the decade!
Has anyone seen Gone Girl?

It's not even the best movie of the year... one of the best of the decade may be a little bit of a stretch.

What's the best you've seen then?
It's the best of the year so far for me, although there are a couple of major ones that I haven't seen.
