I appreciate that they made a sci-fi movie without explosions and chases by fabio 11/25/2016, 11:55pm PST
I find myself hating Interstellar more and more as time goes on. A pointless action scene every 15 minutes. Can't make emotional connection without MUSIC and DAUGHTER CRYING and DUST STORMS!!!

This was either a more subdued Interstellar, or a less retarded and disappointing Contact. Take your pick I guess.

The movie ends by freeze-framing on someone from every nation on earth in a group high-five, backlit by a sunrise on the horizon.


Still not as bad as Interstellar's, "Hey dad. Bye dad. I'm gonna go die now."

Oh, and there's some hand-to-chin stuff about what you would do if you could see your own future (like winning an Oscar, say). Amy Adams would let her daughter die of cancer, instead of telephone gaming a cure back in time.


Also...altering the conception date for an excellent chance for a different cancer-free gene combination.

"Learning a different language lets you perceive multi-faced simultaneous time cube" is a ridiculous concept to base a movie on, right up there with Sunshine's "looking into the sun is addictive and makes you psychotic."

The aliens perceive all time simultaneously, including the future where they cooperate with humans. Why could they not communicate with humans right away?

Why couldn't they do the "tilt ship to dump bomb" trick right away?

Movies really, really badly need to stop using time travel plots. This, Interstellar, and (the otherwise excellent) Minority Report all run into the chicken before the egg paradox. Amy Adams gets the general's number and message at the peace summit, but the peace summit couldn't have happened without the number and message.
