Interstellar(no spoilers)

[PDXFonz]

Currently #11 on the IMDB Top 250 with a shade over 61k votes.

I'm a sucker for space visuals and at the very least this movie promises to deliver just that.

I've made a point not to read too many reviews because I don't want any spoilers before I see it, however I have read that the movie is visually stunning and that the story is a heartfelt look at human kind.

Anyone see this yet or have plans to see it? Only drawback to me before seeing it is its 169 minute run time.

Saw this last night. Visuals are awesome and the storyline is a 7. It's an almost 3hr movie but never felt like it. Nolan did a really good job.

What would you put it as overall out of 10?

Unlike Contact, this movie is anti-God and anti-religion. Surprised there aren't people protesting because it says some pretty hateful things.

You'll probably be posting from inside the theater... maybe Zoe Barnes will die in this movie as well.

I don't mind long movies at all, especially if the movie is decent. More value for your money In fact, I give anything that runs over 140 minutes an extra star.

That would be a first for a MM movie lol.

True Detective Season 1 was headed that way, but the writer and MM totally sold out the nihilism and ruined the season in last few minutes of the last episode.

Bruce Willis is actually a ghost in The Sixth Sense.

I saw the aviator in theaters. Once you've done that you become automatically skeptical of long run times.

Interstellar was 2nd in the box office over the weekend.

Big Hero 6 was first.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

So far from everything I've seen, Interstellar has been a disappointment.

I saw Nightcrawler and that as fucking amazing. Jake Gyllenhaal is a fantastic actor, gotta be considered one of the best around his age.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I saw Interstellar w/ my dad today. We always try and see scifi movies together. Anyway, I thought it was a great movie. 8.5/10.

 

[Denny Crane]

IMDB gives it an 8.6.

IMDB gives it an 8.6.

I think it started off at like 9.5, it'll probably go down a little more.

Gone Girl has 8.5
Nightcrawler has 8.3
Fury has 8.1
John Wick has 7.9

So according to IMDB, 4 movies currently in theaters are in the top 250 best movies of all time, with John Wick narrowly missing out. Point is that IMDB ratings don't mean much, especially this early.

 

[Denny Crane]

IMDB is 10s of thousands of SlyPokerDogs giving it an early rating.

I can't say anything about the movie. I want to see it next weekend.

You can tell where they are going to land if you are used to watching it. Interstellar is basically guaranteed to stay in the top 25 at this point. 120k votes and still 9.1/10

I'm going to go see it tonight

People rating it on IMDB right after they see it means nothing to me. With movies like this, critic ratings are what matter.

Interstellar is rated worse than Gone Girl, Nightcrawler, Fury, and Birdman, which are all potential Oscar winners.

Critic ratings hardly ever matter to me because I find that too often they are subjective. That is why I take statistics over published opinion. I actually heard of some one complaining that there was not enough action in interstellar, as if it is that persons duty to decide how much action is the amount we need.

Also where are you seeing that it is rated worse? The meta score or whatever? If so see previous statement.

I agree people rate movies higher right after viewing. I'm guilty of this myself but I personally go back and fix it later if it was too high. I actually only have one movie I would consider 10/10 on the movie alone, (Avatar is 10/10 if experience is taken into consideration) and that movie is The Shawshank Redemption. Now I could probably talk myself into giving Shawshank a 9, just like how I could talk myself into giving The Godfather a 10. I don't have a laid out set of guidelines, there's no science to it.

Overall I feel happy with the other movies I've seen on the imdb top 250. There hasn't been a movie from that list that I haven't enjoyed.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

If you like science fiction you will like it. I'm glad I saw it with my dad. When you see the movie you'll understand why.

There are lots of movies that didn't get a very high rating on IMDB that I have really enjoyed.

9.5/10

Go see it!
