Reply to: Anyone seen Interstellar yet?

some of it was stunning. i liked the dusty western contrasting with the technology of the future. the cinematography was properly awesome - some real old-school big screen stuff mixed up with hollywoods love of cgi. but wondering off into the desert and discovering stuff was eye rolling daft and the science stuff towards the end was awful. 6/10 mcconaughey is a great actor but go see "mud" or "we are marshall" instead.

Just watched it on the laptop. Brilliant, stunning and very emotional. Loved it. Up there with 2001.

Are you sure you weren't watching 'Into Stella' the new movie about wife beating?

I liked Gravity so it this is better I will take a trip to the flicks if I can sort a baby sitter.

I was reading that the last Hobbit film (battle of five armies) is filmed in a new digital format 4K????, so would be worth seeing it in IMAX 3D? Or is there a new type of 3D that will no doubt be marketed for this purpose?

I just got a Retina iMac, downloaded some 4k trailers for Interstellar, Elysium, Gone Girl and I can hardly tell the difference.

Still, incredible amount of screen real estate for more Unix terminal sessions to sort out this Shellshock Bash bug which causing havoc and crashing systems everywhere....

I saw this on Sunday, more time travel clap-trap.

don't.

just

don't

Time travel isn't clap trap if it involves only travel into the future.

Mind you, "experiencing five (spacetime) dimensions" sounds like clap trap.

[I just need to test it]

The rain was so bad on Sunday we scrubbed our biking plans and went to the cinema intending to see this. But at the eleventh hour (or thereabouts) that goddess I call my wife changed her mind.

We saw "Gone Girl".

That was an interesting film.

I saw it yesterday at an IMAX, was pretty stunning viscerally. Packed an emotional punch as well, the Science is bang on as well, for example at the end when he goes into the black hole and experiences 5 dimensions, that happened to me once.

There were one or two points in the film where I thought it was going to become very predictable

Point of order: Can something become predictable? For something to be predictable it must have been able to be predicted beforehand, whereas becoming predictable implies there was a time where it wasn't predictable and what ultimately happened couldn't have been predicted, and therefore wasn't predictable.

Should I get on with some work?

I also saw Ouija this weekend.

Hmmm.......

Here's the Kermode review in case anyone's interested.

Ah, is this the new "inneresting"? Cos if it is, it's still tulip

Apparently.

Shame that these affectations which amount to trolling don't attract a perm ban for the feckwitted sockie accts and the sockmaster.

Saw it today. That was one loooooong movie!

Glad we booked premier seats.

I thought it was very goodgood though. There were one or two points in the film where I thought it was going to become very predictable eg there was one scene that had me thinking that we were going to be expected to believe that all that we'd seen up to that point had been a dream.

I'd have walked out at that point

I've only ever seen McConnaghey in True Detective and though, admittedly, he was a scrubbed up version of the same character I thought thethe special effects were excellent & I can well recommend the film.

And it's way,way better than Gravity.
