This movie makes my head hurt. Too much science. Been too long since I studied science.

Good movie, though. And it’s free on Amazon Prime right now.

Good movie but super deep. Can’t get into it unless you’re ready.

The docking scene and score is amazing. I get super angry when the teacher says the Apollo program was wasteful and faked order to bankrupt the soviet union.

The space scenes made me physically tense. The only movie to make me feel like that. So well done!

It’s worse than that, the math suggests that the gravitational tidal forces from a wormhole would just tear your ship apart (through spaghettification, a real science term!).

Unfortunately, the science in Interstellar isn’t great. There are a few good science moments and they did work with actual astrophysicists for the modeling of the super-massive black hole (those are totally real); however, most of the premise of the movie is terrible science. It is a little better if you interpret the ending as the fevered dreams of McConaughey as he dies in the black hole.

How did you manage to start growing new crops in space, and why didn’t you just do that on Earth? How did you plan on stopping the spread of the ‘blight’ to a new planet, and why not just do that on Earth? Why do you think you need a bunch of farmers when one dude can just program a bunch of harvester drones to farm autonomously?

So many science problems that were introduced by the plot and ignored. Science Fiction is supposed to have science in it and if you create a shitty world with inconsistent rules to advance a lackluster plot, I cannot forgive you. Christopher Nolan is overrated and panders to pseudo-intellectualism.

The Martian has great science, apart from the dust storm at the beginning and the “Iron Man” at the end (which was laughed at in the book). The rest of the movie actually checks out as good science (the poo-tatoes might not have been necessary, but we don’t know yet).

Like most sci-fi movies the science starts out questionable then goes off the rails, its just a question of how fast does it derail. I didn’t mind Interstellar as the “junk science” was expected and once you start talking wormholes I put my science brain on pause enjoy the movie.

P.S. Don’t watch Gravity.....

Ha. We saw Gravity in the theater. That was trippy!

If you felt like this was too much science then don’t watch The Martian. (But do. Do watch The Martian because it’s fantastic.)

That “Teacher” is an idiot - probably an “educator” with a degree in basket-weaving. With a powerful telescope you can see the crap we left up there.

That’s right ... Fucking Science indeed!

All you would need to be able to take advantage of the wormhole is a temporal envelope that deflected the massive forces attempting to rip your spacecraft apart. Either that or find a way to generate your own shift in the space-time continuum (i.e. a warp drive). People thought the Earth was flat, that flying machines were impossible and that Trump would never be President. Anything is possible.

Its fine that they jumble up the science talk in movies. For me, I feel just the Flash when the Justice League talk about science, “we need a what to do what?”
