Seriously...go, great mix of science and sci-fi, it was like porn for my brain.
OFF TOPIC: INTERSTELLAR, you need to go watch it!
Just got home from it—my brain feels like a tesseract. What an insane trip.
Read an article in this months WIRED magazine that the black hole and wormhole shown in the movie were done by astrophysicist Kip Thorne, who did the actual math for those phenomena, which the graphic designers used to create them. 2 papers are possibly in the works based off the observations of how they appear in the film; they are accurate models for the phenomena they are representing in the film.
"...no one knew exactly what a black hole would look like until they actually built one. Light, temporarily trapped around the black hole, produced an unexpectedly complex fingerprint pattern near the black holes shadow. And the glowing accretion disk appeared above the black hole, below the black hole, and in front of it. 'I never expected that,' Thorne says."

I'm a pretty serious climate hawk, so I'm a fan from that angle as well.(Tuesday was bad news for the planet btw) Can't wait to see it.
The link between emotion and reason. symbolic and logical.

Not a sequel.
One of the most thought-provoking movies I've ever seen. Also best on-screen Rama ever. Best space marines ever.
Neil DeGrasse Tyson loved it for a reason.
Each to their own, I thought it was Nolan's second worst movie. Luckily for it, there was no way it could be worse than Dark Knight Rises. There were parts I liked, for sure, but it feels like a "director's cut" because it was bloated with poor pacing.
The film left me speechless... Quite an achievement in itself!
