Obviously each to their own, I don’t intend to tell you that you’re wrong for not liking it, but I do think a lot of people misinterpreted that part. Love was never meant to be actual driving power in the direct sense of a law of physics; it was characters rationalising things they couldn’t understand or couldn’t see a way out of. Brand was desperately trying to find any reason to go to Edmunds’ planet when the rational choice based on the available information was to go elsewhere. Cooper used it to explain why he was needed - the future humans couldn’t figure out how to effectively communicate with the present humans, but they figured that someone with a really strong personal drive to do so could figure it out if given the tools, and they were right. Cooper knew how to send a message that his daughter would understand even though the tools he had available gave him very little ability to do so because he and his daughter understood each other well.
Yup, went way too far up it’s own ass, and then has the audacity to call itself scientifically accurate.
It’s on the same level as “Donnie Darko” and “don’t look up” to me. Saw it once, rolled my eyes, and have futility lambasted it on the Internet every time it’s brought up.
Did anyone else find Interstellar to be very mid?
Yeah I think it’s super overrated. I hated the whole “inter dimensional communication with my daughter cuz space magic” thing.
I’ve never seen it, I plan on catching this re-release in the theaters.
Yeah IIRC it went off the rails in the last third with a bunch of metaphysical navel-gazing nonsense.
