General / Off-Topic Interstellar Movie

[Sterlino]

ok I watched it.

i don't know if i am the first who dare to say this:

i never seen a such incredible amount of space bullsh**s like in this last movie from Nolan.

Honestly the science-fiction is not the kind of genre for C.Nolan, i say this with sadness because i consider him one of the greater (if not the greatest) director/author
of this last 20 years in the cinema.

wonderful Special Effects with no doubt.. but the rest is very poor.. but the most important thing is that the movie has not the usual mark of style that Nolan has always used to impress me.

This movie looks like a forced move ordered from Hollywood's majors

I respect your opinion though most of it wasn't but stuff based on real theories that after all are just theories.

Interstellar is by FAR the best movie I have ever watched in my entire life. I have never cried to a movie before, but this one made me tear up twice! Truly a masterpiece in my opinion.

so do you think is scientifically accurate ?

then the title of the movie is wrong : it should been ''Intergalactic'' not ''Interstellar'' (or worst: ''Interdimensional'' thinking about the last part in the ''bookshelf'')

really.... the fist time that in the movie they said ''a wormhole to another galaxy'' i thought the usual wrong translation of the word's meaning from the usual italian voice actors
i thought ''in the beginning of the astrophysic 'galaxy' was the name for the nebulae.. so, may be that they meant ''nebula'' but not a real galaxy..
but later in the movie is confirmed that they are into another galaxy.. and i thought.... ''LOL.. wasn't enough a travel into our galaxy to find another planet ??''

so, come on... it's scientifically silly... not accurate, at all.

How is it not accurate? What part of the movie specifically is scientifically impossible?

 

[The Big One]

Nah, I still prefer 2001: A Space Odyssey over this one anytime.

"Self destruct in 5... 4... 3..."
"Humour setting to 60%"
"Knock knock..."
"Do you want 55?"
Silence...

do you want a list ? there are dozen of scientifically impossible things.
If you didn't notice at least one you have never read any physic book at school.

The main problem I am seeing here is lack of expertise. Everyone is a critic, but every critic is ultimately limited by their knowledge. 99% of all people don't know how to write a story well, let alone a movie script, and even fewer people know enough physics to evaluate the science in this movie well enough. Nolan and his crew know where they cheated. Not everything that's wrong is immediately a mistake. The laws of physics are broken on purpose where they need to be in order to enable the journey, which is a necessity in any sci-fi story. The lander launches from the water planet -> enables journey. The lander safely travels through a Kerr wormhole -> enables journey. The lander travels quickly across the black hole system -> necessary cheat to enable a journey that fits into the movie.

And to anyone still going on about the "FRICKIN MASSIVE BLACK HOLE": The black hole is represented correctly. It was made from 800 Terabytes of data they got out of an astrophysical supercomputer simulation of the gravitational field equations, which means it is depicted exactly the way it would appear in reality. The orbits of the planets around Gargantua are fine as well.

As for the "mumbo jumbo" at the end: it is a correct representation of physics. They depicted the interior of the black hole as a tesseract to show time as a spacial dimension, which is exactly what time does inside a black hole. I was stoked seeing it done this way.

Indeed is wonderfully done... but it's all the rest that is silly... there cannot be planets where you can land on near to a monster like that.
Most of all: there cannot be planets where could be possible to live near to a black hole !!!
And you cannot travel near to it without any kind of consequences except for some flickering on the hull...
it's ridiculous

Like I said, lack of expertise. The planetary orbits are accurate and stable, the time dilation is correct, and yes you can travel near it.

sure you have a lot
:facepalm

bytheway you don't read what i write

i was expecting the usual kind of person who come in a forum to buff himself with his knowing.

i wasn't talking about orbits i was talking about effects on something who travels within a black hole zone.

I corrected your wrong statements about the validity of the physics in this movie, which you feel confident about even though you never studied the subject. If you can't handle being corrected in a discussion, you should not hang out on a forum.

Your English is difficult to understand. Whatever this "black hole zone" is supposed to be, there is no problem. This is a 200 million solar mass Kerr black hole; it has small tidal forces that do not rip things apart.

i can handle everything you handle, don't worry about that.

the movie has a lot of supid things:

the messages from earth (how those messages can travel to them ?)
a travel with a wormhole (!!) to another galaxy (!!!?)
the travel into a black hole that ends to be a travel into a ''interdimensional bookshelf''
a misterious switch of times between the mothership and the dropship who went for some hours to a seaplanet
..and i could go on..

but i don't waste my time in this useless discussion, only to let you confirm what you know about the theories of the black hole that doesn't really marks so much
on anything related to this movie

I already explained that these things are accurate. Please read properly, if you can.

look:

do you see there ?

the little photo in the lower right square .. it's real.
it's a supermassive black hole and its literally sucking a near star.

would you imagine what it could do to a planet near to it ?
and don't tell me that this gargantua it's different because the physic laws are always the same everywhere.

want to talk seriously about to travel into a black hole than learn something here:

Great, a picture. How scientific. Please show me the equations that proof your point.
I have a degree in astrophysics and you are wrong on multiple levels. Accept it.
