Loved the cameo of Sophie Wilson as the pub lady. Nice touch!
How there can be over 10 seasons of this crap is beyond all things making sense.
Funny how the two so-called "fans" that appear several times in this documentary keep calling the artist Banksky instead of Banksy.
Anyway, pretty cool doc. If you like this one, I recommend Exit Through The Gift Shop.
That this movie, at the time of writing this, holds an 8.8 rating at IMDb is simply beyond my understanding. Needless to say I did not really like this movie. The story is not very good, the science is ludicrous and the visuals not all that impressive. Maybe the latter would be better in a big theater (I watched this on my home cinema system which has a relatively large screen by European standards) but I am not really sure about that either.
Be warned that the rest of this review might contain a spoiler or two.
The movie starts of with the usual “I told you so” wet dream of the green fanatics on a dying Earth so it is off to a depressing start right away. That is an overused concept today as far as I am concerned. Then they pour it on with a school official claiming that he Apollo missions and moon landings never happened. What the f…? If they wanted to depress the audience right from the start they succeeded, at least with this audience.
The story proceeds with our heroes finding these gravity waves in the sand and by a huge stretch of imagination decrypts them to mean coordinates which leads them to the secret NASA base. Once there Cooper is told that he is their best choice of pilot for a “save the human race” mission through a wormhole. Yeah, right! This guy was former NASA. His whereabouts could hardly been unknown to them. If he was their best choice why would they entrust a mission to save the human race to someone else until he stumbled onto their door? Typical Hollywood nonsense!
The movie is full of this kind of rubbish. Romilly wastes 23 years of his life doing pretty much nothing except deciding not to go into the sleep capsule. The supposedly highly trained and vetted professor that they do find turns out to be a psychopath as well as and idiot almost blowing up the ship when trying to proceed with a docking that all the systems tells him have not succeeded. Then they proceed to dock with the main ship and stop its spin as well as bring it out of orbit around a planet with the shuttles engines. That is one hell of a powerful shuttle not to mention the strength of the docking mechanism! This just goes on. When someone is not doing something illogical or stupid (or both) they sit around talking, philosophizing and dragging the movie forward at snails pace. 169 minutes is way too much for this movie.
The movie ends up in one big time travel mess (okay they do not travel in time, just sends messages through time but still…) during a bunch of psychedelic scenes while traveling through the back hole. Science? Not so much. And what about this totally ludicrous massively illogical and inefficient robot design?
The one good thing I can say about this movie is that the performance of most of the actors, especially Matthew McConaughey, are quite good. For the rest, not my cup of tea.
The basic idea behind this film is quite good, it's just that the script was obviously written by a typical hollywood idiot. A former Nasa pilot that is 'so called' perfect to lead a mission into deep space after he stumbles in the door? Or the 'so called' genius who spends 23 years doing nothing?
I wouldn't even mind if they remade this film completely, left the script and acting exactly the same, but can they please get some actors in that can actually speak?! OPEN YOUR MOUTHS AND ARTICULATE!!! I had to turn the English subtitles on just to understand what everyone was saying!
Yes good visuals and the sound effects were quite good, but if I can't hear the dialogue, what's the bloody point?!
This is a horror movie.
Where is walter white?
What a boring, empty movie.. and it's only 90 minutes long. I even had to check if "Gamer" was released in the same year. Half of the time I thought myself I've seen this already in it (which isn't that much better than this anyways).
It's like watching Disney Channel with Steve Carrel. Very entertaining, if you are 12.
Asian Movies. We can always count on the for a nice movies night! =)
Love this show.
It's a shame it got canceled!
