3. AFAIK, by mastering gravity you can bend spacetime to your will and create a warp drive. The film doesn't go into detail how far technology has actually progressed in those 132 years. Maybe someone who understands physics better can elaborate.
4. Too close to earth could affect spacetime on earth too much. Also, Hollywood loves hibernation sleep
1. Very good point, didn't occur to me but you're right. Horrordee, I think you're confusing Miller and Mann.
#4 a) Saturn is nowhere near as massive as Jupiter. Not even close.
Jupiter radius 71k kms. Saturn's radius 60k kms.. however Saturn is 2.5x more dense than Jupiter. Its still dam significant and would offer a serious gravity well but yes Jupiter would be worse.

b) It would rather be the wormhole ripping the planet apart, not the other way around.
Unsure on that one as both would effect the other in unpredictable ways.

1. I think they said there was less gravity, not more.
It was 130% Earth Gravity.. just re-watched from home. Still doesn't account for other worlds even with similar Earth gravity where on Earth they required a two-stage rocket.

First half was really really good, I was certainly enjoying it and was excited to see where they'd take it.
Where they took it was down a shitty alleyway I didn't want to walk. Massively dissapointjng bordering on the retarded at points.
Ah well
This is how I feel. A few problems I could ignore (like why would you go to another galaxy, and even worse, through a wormhole, if mars is nearby and it could be terraformed... or that bullshit about love transcending galaxies and blabla), but the library scene was just too much... and why on earth would you be able to move the watch or dust but not a pen to write the fucking equations? Or just write it with the dust anyway...
Not to mention landing in any planet is really unnecessary, they could just fly by and send probes instead, but ok, this is one of the things I can ignore, the whole gigant wave and sparking (jumpstarting, whatever) the engine looked good. Now the blackhole and library stuff was just crap.
Also, did anyone notice the parallels with Contact (1997, carl sagan novel)? It seemed way too similar to be just a coincidence, either it was inspired or just copied from it. I guess inspired, since they even got mcconaughey in it. It's almost the same story, but Interstellar is too exaggerated and less poetic.
P.S. I should say though, it is cool to see a science fiction movie being successful, its nice to see a movie were nasa saves the planet (instead of the military, or whatever), and the audiovisual references to 2001 were really good.

Except they don't have warp drive by the time they have Cooper's Station around Saturn at the end. Unless of course they are making a sequel OR the worm hole is still there but by that time they'd be sending constant transports through it.
Edit: Also found this about the ending but cannot substantiate it:
Spoiler:
So Johnathan Nolan did an interview with IGN and apparently when Cooper is found lying in space close to Saturn after sending his daughter the gravity info, the wormhole is closed. How is he supposed to find Brand when the wormhole to get to her is closed?
"So the idea with the film was that it was a wormhole that leads us to a place that creates an opportunity for us and then disappears. By the end of Cooper's journey, the wormhole is gone. It's up to us now to undertake the massive journey of spreading out across the face of our galaxy. Brand is still somewhere out there on the far side of the wormhole. The wormhole has disappeared entirely. It's gone.
IGN: And he has to try and get to Brand in this little ship?
Anyone know when the OST will be released ? I thought it would come out as soon as the movie hit the theatre´s but i could not find any release so far.
There is a release now
EDIT: Seems to be the standard edition, not the deluxe edition.
I don’t care if Interstellar is the most important science fiction film of the last 20 years, having beautiful Anne Hathaway in the cast is sexist and ostracizing to ugly women
That’s one small flow detour for blood, three steps forward for tissue paper manufacturers
A few weeks ago, Paramount Pictures premiered Interstellar, a powerful step forward for film enthusiasts and science fiction alike. However, slightly before the big moment, trailers of the film reminded us how much progress remains to be accomplished back on Earth.
A number of the actors involved on this incredible project were interviewed in the hours leading to the premiere. One of those actors was Anne Hathaway, who chose to dress, for this special occasion, in a dress.
“I got to set every day and my mind was blown day after day after day, just by the sets because we — Oops. I can’t tell you,” she said. “Never mind. Never mind. Never mind.”
No one knows why Hathaway chose to wear a dress on television during a massive press event. From what we can tell, a woman who goes by the name of Donatella Versace in New York made the dress for her, and is just as bewildered as Hathaway must be that anyone might be upset about her creation. Hathaway apologized on Friday during a live Paramount broadcast for wearing the dress, stating that “the dress I wore this week… I made a big mistake and I aroused many people, and I’m very sorry about this.” Still, Hathaway’s personal apology doesn’t make up for the fact that no one at Paramount saw fit to stop her from representing the female community with clothing that makes 80 percent of the world’s female population jealous and 98% of the straight mail population aroused. No one asked her to cover herself in a siberian coat, because presumably they didn’t think about it. It wasn’t worth worrying about.
This is the sort of casual misogyny that stops women from entering certain scientific fields. They see a girl like that on TV and they don’t feel pretty. They see a mental image of greased up men in front of their computers and they know they aren’t attractive. They hear comments about “hotties” while out at a bar with fellow male students, and they decide to perform sex change operations. And those are the women who actually make it that far. Those are the few who persevered even when they were discouraged from filming CSI episodes as dead bodies, made for DVD horror movies where they had to show their breasts, and do meth throughout high school. These are the women who forged on despite the fact that they were told by elementary school classmates and the media at large that girls who want to be attractive to male audiences in movies need to look beautiful. This is the climate women who dream of working at Hollywood or Bollywood come up against, every single day. This dress is representative of all of that, and Paramount has yet to issue a statement or apologize for that.

No no ugly feminist women are toooootally making men be attracted to them, just ask all the dudes that loved Anne Hathaway’s dress. http://bit.ly/1EGmBmNhttp://bit.ly/1qJhr2S

The “female” game developer Brianna Wu brilliantly captures what that dress on that body represents in a community that continues to struggle , if not outright fail, to be attractive to men.
Update Nov 15, 2:00PM ET: The amazingly talented Anita Sarcasm added some powerful thoughts to this piece that I wish I’d included when it was originally published.
Started pretty good but it pretty soon became clear that this was yet another Nolan film. Really well made and well crafted but shallow and a story that went nowhere fast. I kinda had two negative feelings seeing this, one was the fact that it was the same old tired story dressed up as something alot more sofisticated (matt damons character empasized this especially) and the other was that Nolan tried very hard to recreate a modern 2001 space oddysey.
Dont mess with God, he can impregnate your girlfriend/wife without taking his pants off!
"That's my secret girls, I don't pay for anything!"
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"
I think "Coward" is the track from the docking scene
'Coward' is the fight scene with Mann on the ice planet. According to Zimmer, the missing track was left off the CD due to an error and will be made available as a free download.
This is the missing track with sound effects (in partciular, the propulsive rendition of the main theme from 2:25 onwards):
initial impression right after was a 7.5 but after letting the movie soak in i give it another point because of the dimensional concept, feels a bit like contact towards the end of the movie and i loved that one
i'm kind of the opposite of some of you i thought the first third was meh but enjoyed the 2nd third a lot (space travelling, planet exploration) and the 3rd 3rd was okay
@Yondaime
Spoiler:
also remember that tars was 90% honest and i feel like nothing is ever 100% , my personal interpretation of "they" is that they necessarily didn't have to be humans, they could be some completely different species but we perceive them as such because it's most comforting a la contact esque
8/10 - would be higher if it weren't for some of the following things
Spoiler:
The love monologue. Fuck you. -0.5 points.
The full-retard black hole thing. Just omfg. -1.5 points
Also...why is what happened in the movie not essentially a time paradox? Because it's not really time travel it's gravity? Or another dimension? Ok whatever.
I'd probably have more complaints but I still think overall it was a great movie. Saw it in IMAX too, love IMAX. Don't go there very often.
So, apparently the film version was altered by the sound mixers during post production with organ and choir elements from 'Mountains' added in, which is why this track sounds like a synth demo.
