Those aren’t mountains. Those are waves – Interstellar (2014) 4k

  • The one minor flaw with this scene is there’s no way they didn’t see the waves earlier. Cooper is looking out the front window and they walk out the back of the ship so they would have already seen both horizons.

    Also when they are “looking for the probe” the characters search around and turn in a full 360. Yet they didn’t see the wave?!

    (still an amazing scene though!)

  • honestly imo the whole water planet part of this movie I always skip thru on rewatches. IDK what about it, but I just hate it. I skip as soon as they land to right where they return.

  • The idea of this planet is that the waves aren’t actually moving, they’re stuck in one place by gravity and the planet is revolving under them? Or did I misunderstand this part?

  • What I never understood about this film was the concept they tried to explain about the time dilation field, like it had a finite edge (which surely isn’t correct). They describe getting close to the planet and flying in this ship whilst the physicist stay in space.

    Surely he would experience a similar time dilation to the planet unless he was orbiting absolutely miles away from them, which makes no sense as it would have taken them absolutely ages to reach the planet in the ship.

    They described this as the quickest one to do, instead of flying to other planets, yet it always seem to feel like this was the worst and slowest options all along and that flying to the other planets can’t have taken that long as the previous astronauts all did so. If the planets are closer to Gargantuan than this water planet then in theory the astronauts probably haven’t even got there yet relevative to themselves.

    This whole part of the film just felt like a Mcguffin to me.

  • I didn’t like the large wave scene, huge gravity no depth to the water but somehow there is a massive wave. It didn’t sit right with me. If a moon was causing it the sea would rise not just have one tall thin wave going about.

  • Am I the only one who thinks it’s dumb AF that the one guy just stood out there and died?

    Like, he just stood there. Had plenty of time. Like “Why aren’t you getting in?” “Because the director told me I die here.” “Oh aight.”

  • Awesome movie. I just hate that the plot relies on really really smart people doing something unbelievably stupid. A napkin, a crayon and 5 minutes is all it would take to figure out this planet is a no go. No discussion, no conflict.

    ​

    But there’s me eating popcorn thinking to myself ha ha why are they even talking about going there? “if were talking about a couple years”? Uh what? WTF? Save fuel?

  • This movie is pretty cool but you’re telling me that, even from low orbit, they couldn’t tell the planet was entirely water? Like I’m pretty sure you can generally guess how much water is on Earth/Mars/etc just space. The planet is 100% water, and it wasn’t obvious to them from space, on approach, while flying, or after landing???

  • The premise of the scene is still so dumb. At 130% earths gravity there is not a snowflakes chance is hell that they are ever leaving. They should have never landed without knowing the situation and the fact that they managed to leave the gravity well of the planet is in defiance of basic rocket science.

  • I love how dumb everyone is acting. Like the dude doesn’t get in the ship he just decides to chill outside while this giant wave approaches. And then Natalie Portman or whoever decides to really take her time getting the mcguffin and then immediately decides to kill herself because she was too far away from the ship.

    Is space making these people brainless?

  • The effects are great but the characters are just so… weird, I don’t know. They look lifeless to me. The guy who gets swept away is just like, walking back and forth, looking like he forgot what he was supposed to do in the scene. And the whole thing with “oh we can’t leave without the data” is just kinda… I don’t know, plain.

  • God I remember sitting in the theater and feeling my ass clench when he said “They’re swells.” cause I knew right then and there they landed in the lull.

    Ok important safety tip, always look ALL around you before walking outside on a new planet….thanks Egon.

  • I remember my brother saw it at the theater before me and said it might be better than inception and I kinda just laughed. There’s no way! Inception is Nolan’s masterpiece? After seeing it myself and ten times since; He might be right? This movie is just incredible in so many ways. And I cry like a baby every fricken time, lol.
