Interstellar (Christopher Nolan) SPOILERS FROM POST 458 ONWARDS

pixelburp · 14-12-2013 8:51pm

Now that's how you do a teaser trailer. I'm sure the plot-spoiling version will appear in time but for now it's a good example of how to tease a concept & plot; still not entirely sure what this is about, but there's enough hints and nods to get people thinking / excited. Certainly it seems like 'Interstellar' is not just a figurative title, but that it indeed does revolve around space travel.

Also, I've said it before but fair play to McConaughey (or his agent anyway) for turning his career around and becoming a 'proper' leading man.

That's absolutely superb. It captures the spirit of science fiction so succinctly and the emotional drive that powers it. This tone is extremely encouraging for Interstellar. That's cheered me up no end

Great teaser.

I especially love the ".....But we've lost all that" bit. It definitely hints at a human story of trying to go further than before to succeed.

krudler · 14-12-2013 10:47pm

I like the release as being "one year from now" not a specific date or just "November" or something, nice touch.

FortuneChip · 14-12-2013 10:58pm

Well there's the next movie for me to constantly speculate over for the next year.
Excellent.

I've liked McConaughey of late, from spending so many years on rom-coms and throwaway fluff (with every poster of him leaning at an angle :pac:) you'd easily forget that he's a watchable and very talented actor.

Fortunately, something clicked for him to start flexing his acting chops in more meatier roles in the past few years.

The 'close your eyes' scene from 'A Time To Kill' is still one of my favourite moments in a film.

He is a very good actor and it's to his credit that all the nonsense stuff doesn't seem to have damaged him, considering his roles in 'Mud' and 'Killer Joe'.

Adamantium · 15-12-2013 10:23am

He was great in Contact, but then so was everybody. If Interstellar aims for that sort of smartish sci-fi, i'll be a happy man indeed.

I'd love for a culture shock/enigmatic landmark film like 2001 again, that inspires people about space travel and the universe solely again ,that has no real conflict/baddie as such just ideas, and Nolan probably the few that make such a movie of such scale and get it a mass audience

He left the masses talking about Inception, buh will he have them WTF-king even more this time?

The same way he got some roaring that was pure "****" and others "that was genius"

Sad Professor · 15-12-2013 10:44am

Hopefully this is the film of big ideas that Gravity wasn't.

Snake Plisken · 15-12-2013 11:06am

I f*cking love Chris Nolan! this looks epic, if it goes like The Prestige/Inception it will require multiple viewings to pick up everything Nolan wants to show us! Like the Zimmer trailer theme very low key! Roll on "1 year from now" :-)

Burt Macklin · 15-12-2013 9:14pm

I'm just glad that we live in a world where Christopher Nolan has studio backing to make a big budget original science fiction movie.

Gandalph · 16-12-2013 2:49am

Judging from the trailer I reckon they all get attacked by space orcs

FlashD · 16-12-2013 10:58am

Everything Nolan directs turns to gold, not only is he visually brilliant but he also more importantly tells an engaging story.

Really looking forward to this next year.

With the billions he's made Warner Bros at this stage I'd say he's one of the few directors who can get a blank cheque for whatever project he wants, are all his films perfect? No, but he's an A list director who sticks to his guns and use effects where needed instead of shoehorning them in everywhere instead of using real stunts and practical effects. I loved that the rotating corridor in Inception was done for real, it's the kind of stuff you rarely see in movies anymore

Yes.

MilanPan!c · 16-12-2013 3:06pm

meh - wasn't blown away... hopefully it'll be ok

Snake Plisken · 16-12-2013 4:01pm

Actually couldn't really warm to Memento, must give that another spin! But everything else has been brilliant! And don't believe this will be any different! The teaser reminded me of The Right Stuff & Man Of Steel's Smallville farmland scenes and Contact! This will probably be the one movie I'll go to see in the Cinema next year! Also no fecking 3D which is great! Just a shame we still don't have an Imax screen for these movie events! I would pay good money to see all of Nolan's IMAX work on an IMAX screen!

MilanPan!c · 16-12-2013 4:54pm

Watched it again and still - meh.

Admittedly I'm very lukewarm on Nolan, but still... Don't get all the praise this teaser is getting. But sure, lots of praise for Contact around these parts and that's IMO one of the most overrated movies ever made.

Would strongly advise you to watch Memento again, you have a better appreciation of the layers and structure of the film the second time round. In my opinion it's Nolan's best work (so far anyway).

Overrated? I've met maybe two people in real life who actually like that film

I don't think I've met any! It's a really good movie though. Wanted to watch it tonight but it's not on Netflix

Snake Plisken · 17-12-2013 2:09am

I for one loved Contact one of Robert Zemeckis's best movies alongside Castaway, never considered Contact overrated! This has that kind of vibe with travelling through wormholes etc!
I admit I'm a Nolan Fanboy, and possibly Intersteller will divide audiences, I know from that 2 minute teaser that I won't be disappointed! It's a pity someone like David Fincher cannot keep the same level of quality with his projects, I remember eagerly waiting for the follow up to Se7en to come out and get the flipping Game! such a disappointment! I found Fight Club while impressive visually, went up it's own arse! But I really enjoyed Zodiac, he really does Serial Killer movies well!
Anyway I think Christopher Nolan now makes films that he wants to make and he has the backing of a studio who will let him do just that!

I keep seeing it pop up ... even once is too much... it's an awful movie with doesn't even vaguely try and make sense internally and talk about your hammy over-acting... Jodie Foster is just... unwatchably bad in it...

It's funny, because while I agree that Fincher is very hit and miss, I also think that about Nolan and don't in any way think he's some incredible genius...

I get goosebumps watching that trailer, so excited that Chris Nolan is directing.

This could be another perfect movie like The Prestige

Adamantium · 06-05-2014 6:23pm

A new poster:
The tagline is amazing.

Burt Macklin · 06-05-2014 7:13pm

What a difference a year makes. Funny to read a few posters at the start of this thread unhappy at McConaughey's casting. Seems like a real coup on Nolan's part now.

He was already starting to prove himself at that stage but now post Oscar win and True Detective he's more popular than ever.

Snake Plisken · 06-05-2014 8:32pm

read somewhere Nolan was impressed with McConaughey's performance in Mud, thus the casting thought he was pretty good in Contact all those years ago as well! Poster has an 80's Speilberg feel to it :-)

McConaughey has always been a great actor, he just took the easy money and spent a decade and a half headlining lowest common denominator trash.

Probably his Mrs told him to knuckle down and do some decent movies, instead of crap rom coms!
Still Intersteller will be the highlight of my movie year!

btw Stefan Happy Tungsten what did you think of Wally's Transcendence? Mark Kamode did a piece defending it here http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/markkermode/posts/In-Defence-Of-Transcendence

Haven't seen it yet but is it that bad?
