 November 8, 2014 - 10:54pm | How was it? The previews look great. |
 November 9, 2014 - 12:12am | I liked it. I didnt care for the teseract (sp) phoenom but i understand it was a plot device to convey a larger story. I like how they hinted a much deeper story behind the sentry / service robots. What a world it must have been before the blight hit. |
 November 9, 2014 - 3:30pm | It was a good movie AND good science fiction. Yes, they dropped a lot of hints about the larger story behind events on Earth. Who knows what happened between now and when the movie starts? They imply that things were rough. The robots are an indication of that. The grandfather must have been a kid around right now, based on the things he said. The robots were great. Bill Irwin was priceless as TARS. I loved the way they moved, particularly on the water planet. I loved the 3 different planets. Great ideas for the game. All 3 planets were technically habitable, but... I was surprised to learn how long it was. It seemed to go by quickly. Great movie. |
 November 9, 2014 - 5:57pm | There should have been a spoiler alert on the tereract comment as i totally figured out what was coming but probably couldn't be helped. As I would have been thinking about the early clues in the movie with out anyone mentioning that. Yeah the bots would cool. Love the movie long banter of Honesty setting 90% I loved when Coop is questioning Tars' honesty on something and said, "Is that 90% truth or 10% truth?" and Tar responded, "I also have a discretion setting." and the last time a humor setting was discussed was funny too. there was one moment in the movie that did not ring true at the end of the movie but it was written that way to move the movie to its ending. EDIT: I hadn't realized that Matt Damon was in the movie from the previews, interesting role that he played. And interesting planet with frozen clouds. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
November 9, 2014 - 8:20pm | Yeah, the frozen cloud planet was freaky. I was also surprised to see Matt Damon. His role was small, but dramatic & significant. My wife and I also loved the comments about 90% honesty. What was the part that didn't ring true (if you can answer that without spoilers)? |

My wife and I also loved the comments about 90% honesty. What was the part that didn't ring true (if you can answer that without spoilers)? When he walked into the hospital room and didn't interact with the gathered people there, the non interaction and the instructions given to him did not ring true at all, there were not "human" but rather "good writing" to wrap the story. That said I still liked the ending. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
November 9, 2014 - 10:16pm | BTW, I didn't give a spoiler alert because there was no spoiler. You really have to see the movie to know what I was talking about especially since a teseract can be many things, and actually may have been many things in the movie, and if you read any reviews your half spoiled on the movie already. Speaking of which its interesting to note that Matt Damon is not credited anywhere for this film |

Speaking of which its interesting to note that Matt Damon is not credited anywhere for this film No worries AZ, I would have been pondering the major investment in screen time to the phenomenum as the principle characters viewed it and made guesses as to what it was that were close. Having the word teserat in my mind simply made that easier. EDIT: I wonder if the trend of mystery/twist endings will continue in sci fi movies? Oblivion, Interstellar, even Star Trek Into Darkness have all had this. It beats the straight up action adventure sci fi special effects extravaganza and makes you think (not that there is anything wrong with FX). For example watching Oblivion the second time around knowing the truth is an interesting experience. The actress playing the dark haired girl knows things that she is concealing but you see it in her performance that she is concealing them and you feel for what the character is going through based off that acting performance. Didn't notice it the first time around because I didn't know what she knew. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
November 10, 2014 - 2:11pm | I agree about Oblivion. Had the same experience the 2nd time I watched it. I can see your point about the end of Interstellar. Still a great film. |
 November 11, 2014 - 7:42am | Hubby & I went and saw it. We totally enjoyed it. Very rarely does a sci-fi movie actually get into the whole aging at different rates and how that effects things, and the planets where all different, and the robots where cool. We where surprised at how long the film was too, we actually got the end, and where good for more...  Yeah I felt the bit about the extended family was odd. "Never fire a laser at a mirror." |
