But how do you know if the line you did not hear was essential or not? You’d have to put your faith into Nolan to assume he would only drown out pieces of dialogue that are not essential. I think he would make his life way easier if he’d stop messing around with his sound – it’s the backlash of mumbling Bane all over again.

You think that every single line of dialogue is essential to understanding the plot? Sometimes characters are talking to each other and while it might not be “filler,” you could probably miss it and still understand the story no problem.

And George Lucas had all the Star Wars movies planned from the start.. I don’t know, if this was all intentional then I think it’s a bad choice.

That’s surely how the screenwriters intended it.

“Hey, Jonathan. We need some more dialogue here”
“Okay, Chris, what do you want me to write?”
“Doesn’t matter. It’s neither important to the story nor will it be loud enough in cinemas to be audible”
“Alright, Chris! That’s why you’re the famous Nolan!”

I should hope there’s fake science. It’s science FICTION. I thought this movie was going to suck because it would be all realistic but was pleasantly surprised. As for the love as a force story point. I really liked it. Many experts say love is a strong universal force like gravity. I liked seeing it incorporated in a sci fi film like they did. I love how these guys tell stories. They share my sensibilites. I also really love all the care and thought Nolan puts into his direction to best tell the story without really calling attention to himself like overdirectors like Tarantino do. Nolan is a true director. Just some thoughts I wanted to share after listening to a bunch of misguided haters who are obviously bitter because they are incapable of love.

Hey, Kyri! Nice to see you commenting! I was really talking about all those other stupid movie shows like screen junkies, slash film, one of us, sequelcast, etc. I want to die when Iisten to them. They never understand the movies.

Nolan also stated that “fake science in the movie is intentional”

I actually rewatched the film yesterday, I think Reed was kind of right regarding the final scene being, Cooper’s last dream before/as he dies, or as a ghost living in a higher dimension /inside the film’s reality.

Mat Damon’s description of what a person sees before he dies as a death dream is literally.. the final act, – the will to stay alive for your kids, cooper stays alive in his dream.. The flashes when he ejects his space-ship, are also a strong indication.

It worths to mention that the entire film was extremely scientifically accurate, up to that point (a guy named Kip Thorne , he is like a big name astrophysicist also wrote a book explaining things, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0393351378/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0393351378&linkCode=as2&tag=austrasemina-20&linkId=DTCPOGOOBYU6QNI2

I haven’t read it yet to be honest, but I would argue that , obviously no human can survive entering the black hole, I think cooper is as dead as it gets,

though I guess as a dead person, he can be the ghost at the beginning as well.?

//anyway..

I also feel the need to say a few words regarding the fight scene that you guys pooped all over,

CLEARLY that wide angle of two tiny humans – dots fighting in an icy planet is there to show how insignificant human struggles are in the grant scheme of things/space/icy planet . not everything must be KARATÈ . it is actually fairly obvious watching the film for the second time.

Also regarding your criticism on what dr Mann’s plan was supposed to be, – I think it is also fairly obvious on a re-watch – from Matt Daymons excellent performance that the guy is fairly desperate and not mentally well.

desperation != good planning.

The dialogue you can’t hear is revealed by another character at a more dramatic point in the film. It seemed obvious it was intentionally unintelligible. People really irritate me sometimes.

funny the first time I watched at one theater the dialogue was not difficult to understand. 2nd viewing at a different theater though was another story. Some dialogue was difficult to hear something I did not encounter in my first viewing.

But I enjoyed Interstellar even more upon second viewing. It wasn’t perfect and there were things I did not like (I actually prefer some of the plot points in the original screenplay more) but there were some scenes and ideas presented in this movie that just made it for me. Worth seeing twice.
