I watched it last night.
What did you think of it?

Meh.
i haven’t seen it but it looks really good judging by the picture.
I have not seen it, and probably wont do so for another year or two.
It’s okay

That scene is later in the movie.
The movie starts on a deteriorating Earth.
I liked it, I thought it had some philosophical aspects (existentialism)
It was interesting how they represented 3 dimensional space-time, from the 5th dimension.
I thought the characters were well developed….this helps me stay with this type of movie/storyline

I liked the concept up until they pretended to be surprised at the mission consequences after landing on that first planet. And the the ending… “Oh my God – it’s full of stars!”

You bastard, the people in Western Australia may not have seen it yet.

The people in western Australia haven’t seen the moon landing yet.

luckily i was in melbourne so caught it.
Luckily when he was in Melbourne I didn’t catch him.
you wouldn’t have been born when i was in melbourne.

I dont recall that specific quote.
LOL@ pretending to be surprised.
I thought it was believable, Cooper was an idealist and had a fundamental belief in the goodness of mankind
I lived in Melbourne as an ovum too.

The quote wasn’t in the movie, it was in “2001 – a space odyssey”. I was just trying to subtly point out the similarities between the movies.

When that scene came up on the first planet where they were standing in waist-high water and a five hundred foot high wave approaches, I recall Steve Primus mentioning that waves were caused by wind, and wondered how likely it would be to get a five hundred foot wave from three foot deep water and no wind.
Liked the design of the robots, though.
> Have you seen this movie?
No, but the local “space society” showed a screening, which I missed.
Checks wikipedia plot:
> On twenty-first century Earth, crop blight has caused civilization to regress into a failing agrarian society.
Fair enough.
> Cooper concludes that Murphy’s “ghost” is an unknown intelligence using gravitational waves to send a set of binary coded coordinates in the dust. These direct them to a secret NASA installation.
ROFL.
> a wormhole, apparently created by an advanced intelligence, has opened near Saturn and leads to new planets in another galaxy
Absolutely no way. For starters, one end of a wormhole is a black hole, which can’t be created without an appropriate mass. Second, in order to be large enough not to shred any lifeform passing through that mass has to be thousands of times the Sun’s mass. Third, any such mass moving into the Solar System would destroy planetary orbits around the Sun. Fourth, in order to stabilise any such wormhole would require an exotic state of matter that can’t exist. Fifth, any such wormhole would have to end in a different universe, not in a different galaxy. Sixth, according to a range of subatomic particle theories, such wormholes couldn’t exist even if they had both that mass and stabilisation. Seventh, If you’ve done six impossible things before breakfast, why not round it off with dinner at Milliway’s, the restaurant at the end of the universe?
> a supermassive black hole … the scientists’ data which he expects to be able to use to solve the use of gravity for propulsion
Extremely unlikely, but not actually impossible, just yesterday I was reading a science fiction book about this. It is possible if negative gravity exists.
> Endurance will carry frozen human embryos to keep the race going on habitable new worlds.
Excellent.
> proximity to a supermassive black hole causes severe gravitational time dilation
It does, and they have the direction of it correct.
> an enormous tidal wave hits.
No problem there, nice twist to the plot.
> concludes gravity propulsion might work, given enough information about the singularity inside the black hole.
Information about the singularity is useless here, but information about strong gravity around a supermassive black hole may suffice.
> Mann breaks Cooper’s spacesuit visor and leaves him to die, and flees to Endurance on a shuttle; Romilly is killed by a bomb Mann set to protect his secret. Amelia rescues Cooper using the other cargo shuttle, and they arrive at Endurance in time to witness Mann attempting to dock without permission. The imperfectly sealed airlock explodes, killing him, but Cooper manages to dock the cargo shuttle and use its engines to get Endurance under control and keep it in orbit.
The “human interest” angle. Ho hum.
> slingshot spaceship around galactic mass black hole
No good, I think. You would die of old age during that slingshot.
> As the shuttle falls into the black hole, gravitational forces rip it apart, ejecting Cooper and TARS into the interior, which resembles a tesseract. TARS determines this to be a five-dimensional space compressed into a three-dimensional structure by its creators in order to help Cooper understand that gravity can be exerted across the dimensions to communicate.
OK, now it’s getting weird. I like weird. First problem is that any forces sufficient to rip a shuttle apart would make mincemeat of any humans inside.

I’m wrong there. Even viewed from outside the black hole (remember time dilation effects) the time would certainly not exceed a few years, and may be considerable less. The cosmic cloud G2 recently slingshotted (or something similar) around the Milky Way’s black hole Sagittarius A*, taking only a period of months at close encounter.
I didn’t like the bit where Matt Damon exploded.
Neil DeGrasse Tyson had a lot of input into the movie to get the science right. That’s one of the things I like about Christopher Nolan, he likes to get it right and asks for an expert opinion. Unlike James Cameron, who had the sky wrong in Titanic…
