I post either a single dank WebM, a dank WebM compilation, or a dope Futurama WebM compilation (funny clips from the show). Usually one these three per day. Make sure to let me know if you don't want to be mentioned for the futurama ones.
while it wasn't as funny as the one in the OP, the attached webm's cinematography was too good to not share
That's the one thing I can say about this movie. As much as I utterly loathed the plot, the music was beyond fantastic. Just listening to this gives me chills.
I thought the movie was good the first time around, odd pacing though. Second time I got so sick of hearing "MURPH." But the music was absolutely brilliant.
As someone with more than a middle-school education in physics, seeing their explanations of **** made me want to punch a mirror. It's not like Star Trek where it's like "Yeah, who cares that they went to warp? It's Star Trek", this was a movie that was trying to be taken seriously, where a guy falls into a black hole and finds a library being created by magical space fairies from the future so that he can save humanity.
They actually were pretty good with some of the science. But by the black hole part you need o be willing to suspend disbelief. I'm not saying magical four dimensional humans from the future exist, or will exist, but there's something to be said for just enjoying a movie, even if you consider it mediocre. And I don't feel like arguing the potential unknown of a blackhole and what's inside (when already considering four-dimensional super people with unknown powers.).
You have a good attitude. I have a degree in experimental physics and I have enjoyed the **** out of this movie.
I don't watch movies to educate myself, but to entertain myself. So it doesn't matter if they put some ******** into them.
Also, this is the only space movie I know which had silent explosions in vacuum, as it should be.
To my basic knowledge, they got essentially all the physics right when it comes to classical physics. As for the worm holes and black holes, they presented a theory and didn't try to explain the science of it or anything weird, they just labeled it as reality of the story universe. I try to judge a movie off the story, not the realism (That is assuming that it isn't some glaring issue) and while I got sick of matthew mcconaughey's voice by my second time through, I thought the story had a cool plot and, back to the original topic, the soundtrack was amazing (The first water world, the docking, the lack of music as he entered the blackhole).
This video has me at the same amount of confusion and angry bewilderment as I felt when I tried to figure out what the **** just happened in the actual movie as its plot shoved its head up its own asshole and the end.
If everybody didn't insist on speaking in quite gravely whispers that you can't turn up the volume on because of the really loud sound effects that would also help.
Humans in the future achieve the ability to manipulate both gravity and time, the 4th and 5th dimensions.
Future humans put the wormhole next to Saturn.
Future humans intercept TARS and Cooper with a Tesseract when they fall in Gargantua, the black hole.
Tesseract is a "machine" allows Cooper to manipulate gravity at various periods of time and send messages and data into his daughter Murph's room.
TARS took data of the Black hole, which would allow for the humans on earth to manipulate gravity and have a mass exodus. Cooper programs this data to be in Morse code on the second hand of the watch.
Data get's humanity off earth.
Since Cooper was next to a black hole, a huge gravitational field, huge amounts of time passed, meaning Murph was well into her 100's by the time he got back.
I prefer to think it's aliens and not future humans because it makes things more confusing. For the humans to have survived someone had to save them during this time and when the future humans were in this position there wouldn't have been anyone to save them except aliens.
It's not necessarily a paradox, it just implies predestination. That kinda ***** with the whole "free will" thing, but nature doesn't exactly care about our feelings.
But it is a paradox. Something existing because it exists is just crazy. I'm not saying it's nonsense but it is a paradox. An Ontological paradox. And I loved how it was used in the movie. A lot of people think that this is how time travel will work if it is possible. It makes sense "You can't change anything because everything is already a result of you going back in the first place."
I dabble a bit in astrophysics and cosmology and that sort of thing, and from what I've read, a predestined universe is still a vaild scientific theory. It's not THE theory, but it hasn't been discarded yet either.
One guy I read explained it well: There are certain things in our every day life that are pre-destined by the laws of physics. If you fell off of a balcony, no amount of free will is going to stop gravity from pulling you to the ground. Other mechanisms work the same way.
I don't personally believe our universe is pre-destined, but it isn't beyond the realm of possibilities. Especially in the context of a sci-fi movie.
Our universe is definitely predestined. The Uncertainty principle prevents us from predicting it but it's just logic to know that the universe follows a certain set of rules and will never deviate (If it appears to, you either missed something or there was some kind of intervention outside of the system and you just need to expand your view). This is determinism. Predestination involving time travel is where the paradox comes in and that's what I'm talking about. In the movie: Humans mastered gravity because Humans mastered gravity, Murph figured it out because murph figured it out. It's just not fathomable (not impossible) for something to be the cause of its own existence.
Sure it is. If the universe is predetermined, as you say, then if you knew the positions and velocities of every particle in the universe you could extrapolate both the past and the future. The future determines the past as much as vice versa--classical physics makes no distinction between time directions. So everything ALREADY "exists because it exists".
Of course, we're sort of debating this the wrong way. Interstellar's whole thing was that the beings were from "higher dimensions". And when a sci-fi starts talking about dimensions, literally anything is possible. Of course, in science, most theoretical extra dimensions are spacial, not temporal. But there could be multiple time dimensions (or time could be just be an illusion...but that's a different topic), and if some higher beings were able to manipulate those then they could probably influence what we perceive as the "past".
Remember that Anne Hathaway's character made it to the planet with the embryos. All she had to do was to raise them and form a society. Then they would evolve on their own to the "higher species" who could then travel back in time to save Cooper and the remaining humans on earth.
Honestly it wasn't that bad to figure out. Sure I may have taken AP Chemistry and Honors Physics but that doesn't mean that the plot was so mind-boggling that I flipped a tit over it. Did I ruin the system?
Though hear me out. Go back and listen to Detach again with headphones. The ******* bass line in the start and the two separate, aweinspiring climaxes have made it my new favorite Hans Zimmer piece.
It's legit a very good film if you love astronomy and other space science **** . It manages to combine being scientific and thrilling really well. Just be prepared for the end to suck assballs
Interstellar, Inception, and Gravity are three movies that completely captivated me start to finish. They're so ******* great. Not citizen kane great, but great in a different sort of way.
Inception felt neato, and Interstellar totally grabbed hold of me with how it talked about time as a physical object and humanity evolving to a stage 3 civilization. I felt like gravity almost tried too hard though. Which is weird to say.
Gravity was kinda stupid if you really think about the plot, but you seriously can't tell me you didn't sit on the edge of your seat the entire 90 minutes. It did its job perfectly at being one hell of a thriller.
