Interstellar

In an undated mostly-near future Earth cannot support mankind; mankind tries to leave.

holyshitballs. This movie moved me as much as The Passion of the Christ. Stunning and exciting and moving - the father-daughter connections and issues moved me most. A telling line: "from the moment you become a parent you are living only to be a memory to your kids"

at 2hrs, 50 minutes ensure you block off an afternoon and an hour or two to talk-over what you just watches.

the science of this movie MAKES the movie for me: the movie is sadly and wonderfully realistic.

Take your spouse and kids. I will likely not watch it again because i dont want to be taken on that journey again.

Pretty good assessment. I just saw it this weekend ... sure makes you think.

I've not seen this, but have read the synopsis on 'IMDB'. It reads, to me, like another of those films perhaps carrying a 'doom & gloom' message about global warming, and the idea that Mankind is poisoning the planet ?

Does it have (to whatever extent) a 'Gore-friendly' message, and therefore carry a propagandist objective as part of its 'reason for being' ?

I did not see it that way. In fact, the root cause seemed to be some sort of food shortage exacerbated by a blight affecting the only viable crop remaining ... corn. Truthfully, I did not care to think about it that deeply and I have seen Disney movies far more blatant than this one .... The Lion King drives me nuts, for example.

Echoing CSM - No glaring political agenda. It's a love story at heart, in my view.

OK, sound good, then. Not having seen the film, I can't be sure of my conclusions. Naturally I'll defer to those who've seen the film ...

Dammit, Drummond! How the heck can we get this thread moved to the Steel Cage section if you are going to have an attitude like that?

JUST IDDING, FOLKS!!!!
