Thanks for stopping by again.
Y...Hi there Katrin,<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by again.<br /><br />Yeah, to be honest, I'm probably not going to pick up on a lot of the science stuff. I've never understood science and if you replace words like electricity, circuit boards, speakers with other words like magic wand, spell and dimensional portal... it all just means the same to me. I couldn't even begin to imagine the world I'm living in now when I was a kid... it's all just magic to me.<br /><br />We are evolving into an entirely different species and I think that may well start becoming apparent in the next 20 years or so.<br /><br />I'm surprised you weren't suspicious about the identity of the poltergeist at the opening of the film. Thought it was kinda obvious, in some ways.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks so much for your continued reading of my own little corner of cyberspace and thanks for taking the time to share your response to my review. <br /><br />Come back soon.<br /><br />NUTS4R2https://www.blogger.com/profile/08450069327397561514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260387431722105524.post-84956110758417061872014-11-18T22:34:49.891+00:002014-11-18T22:34:49.891+00:00This is such a fair and well laid out review Mr. R...This is such a fair and well laid out review Mr. R2.<br /><br />I am somewhere in your ballpark but I do mark the film down more for the narrative which was plagued with, first and foremost, that big paradox which you pointed out. It turned the whole thing into a fairy tale & all the drama from before fell flat on its nose. But there were also big problems with the 'real' science, for example quantum mechanics (which includes heavy duty calculus) dictated by the 'helping hand' in morse code onto an every day object. That alone would take YEARS. <br /><br />What I really liked were the scenes in space. And it is for that it should be seen on the big screen. The inside of the space ship had a bit of a steampunk vibe going on too which was cool.<br /><br />Your comparison to 'Solaris' was quite interesting because it made me think if Nolan tried, through Amelia's teary eyed soliloquy, to tap into the metaphyiscal plane and refer to or borrow from 'Solaris' like that. As I remember (I could be wrong here though) the metaphysical played a prominent role in the Russian 'Solaris' . It was a pathetically failed attempt in 'Interstellar' though.<br /><br />Oh, and lastly, I didn't clue into the nature of the Poltergeist until I heard Amelia speak the words: "Mann will save us." (She said exactly that). Of course she meant Dr. Mann, but I heard also the more general word in there. Only then my chips fell into place.<br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with us, it is always enlightning.<br /><br />Katrin Jenny<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
