Clockwerk posted:The Elysium wolf man hybrid is from the original script iirc. So yes he turned into a furry, but the world wasn't ready for that reality, so we got a boring robot or something instead I can't remember I know I watched that movie, but it made virtually zero impact on me. Something something South Africa, something something secret data, something something space platform, gunfight, main guy dies I think?

Interstellar would've been much better if it was just two hours of Crazy Astronaut Man Matt Damon running amok.

Introducing Matt Damon in the middle of the movie was really jarring. You've had all this time to get used to Matthew Mcconaughey and Anne Hathaway being their characters, and then suddenly in the middle of deep space it's Matt Damon out of nowhere.

Applewhite posted:Which was ferrying everyone on earth up to a rotating cylinder whose construction relied on hypothetical technology that wouldn't even have been developed if it hadn't been for an astronaut traveling back in time and coding the formula into his daughter's watch? Except the real plan was sucker people into building the cylinders while also sending some embryo's through the wormhole to a hopefully habitable planet. Suckers die, embryos live. Fortunately for the suckers ol' MUUUURPH! looked a little more closely at her watch.

loquacius posted:Seriously though, The Martian is basically "what if Matt Damon's character in Interstellar wasn't a whiny useless wad of dicks" Interstellar is actually the sequel to The Martian. Matt Damon survives mars but in the next mission turns into a complete space pussy. Also Interstellar they say Damon's character was the greatest astronaut and survive so it's obviously the same character as in The Martian.

we have very advanced "boat" technology today, why are places like SF experiencing such ridiculous housing shortages? just build a boat in the bay or some poo poo. have it be under water, we can do that. in fact, why don't we have massive underwater cities as is? whatever that reasons, that's why op, that's why

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:Also, they keep saying the crops are dying and food is running out, and they imply that earth is very sparsely populated now. They imply that there was a World War 3, and come right out and say that there's a massive climate change catastrophe happening, which means the food chain would be super hosed up since if the oceans get too warm the plankton will die. They also heavily imply humanity has taken a massive turn away from science and technology, like how Matthew McConaughey's wife died of a tumor because there were no more MRI machines, and how his kid was being heavily encouraged by the school to give up math and become a farmer, schools teaching kids that the Moon landings were faked so that people would stop trying to be something other than farmers, etc. So there probably weren't too many eggheads left. And they don't say there was nothing left besides corn, just that corn was the only staple food crop left that was thus far immune to the blight. Applewhite posted:I'm 100% certain you are misinterpreting his quote. No, the black scientist is many years older when McConaughey and Hathaway return. edit: Interstellar has plenty of problems and plot holes, but this isn't one of them. Hell, right now we grow more than enough food to feed everyone yet people are still starving to death. The combination of war, climate catastrophe, and a luddite takeover would mean global starvation. edit 2: but some sort of organism or whatever that's able to infect every plant species in the world is dumb.

Space colonization is a thing a prosperous civilization like we have now can do and while it might eventually solve our all eggs in one basket vulnerability that would be on really long timescales. The message scifi keeps doing where we gently caress up Earth only to find salvation in space is a lovely one. We can't do space if Earth isn't in good shape.

literally name a single event that could wipe out life on earth there simply isn't one space will never be colonized in any meaningful manner, there's nowhere to go best we could do is launch our own panspermia program knowing that by the time earth has been absorbed into the sun we got some mold growing on a planet somewhere else

I feel like at some point the script probably attributed the environmental catastrophe more specifically to humans loving it up beyond repair with pollution, but for some reason they decided to go with the blight explanation instead. It felt kind of political. There are all these things that hint at climate change and other existing environmental issues such that someone receptive to those issues assumes that is what is being depicted, but the script actually attributes it all to the poorly explained plant disease. It goes out of its way to avoid saying that the disaster is caused by humans and is related to real world issues, and instead puts it on a disease that humans didn't cause and are only responsible for in the sense that they weren't industrious enough to solve the problem. I can't remember exactly but at the beginning of the movie it even felt like they were trying to suggest science denialism and environmentalism are related, with the teacher who lectures mcconaughey about space travel being propaganda saying something like they just need to learn to manage their resources better and settle for a simpler lifestyle and mcconaughey talking about how mankind used to dream bigger and solve problems rather than giving up. So basically it acts like it's cheerleading the scientific quest to improve the world and solve problems, but it does so while dodging the actual science related to the catastrophes it depicts and instead suggests that if we try hard enough we'll find a miracle solution to our looming environmental problems that doesn't require us to moderate our lifestyles at all. If you really read into that message as it relates to real world issues it's basically saying that we should reject efforts to solve our environmental problems that require us to consume less, that such solutions are equivalent to giving up on science.

Both things could potentially sterilize the planet, but both are unlikely to happen in the near future. There are probably a bunch of other (equally unlikely but not impossible) things? I dunno.

You are the guy- the one who is thinking about a Nolan film Frackie Robinson posted:OP there was nothing to suggest they had the technology to put people in suspended animation, i.e. where they wouldn't age. They could go into hibernation but they would still age at the same rate, that's why the black science astronaut said he didn't feel right "sleeping his life away". So if everyone went into hibernation they would just all be dead in 80 years, which wouldn't be enough to terraform a planet. You bitch idiot wtf I never got the impression that they aged when they were suspended, what a lovely movie

Yeah if you didn't know that the movie was poo poo before that, Matt Damon being named "Mann" smacked you in the face with it.

Remind me: at the end, was humanity just going to abandon the astronauts that had been sent out to the three planets? Like they were just going to leave Anne Hathaway on that planet, despite knowing that her and maybe her fiance were there? Or would her fiance have been long dead by that point? I forget
