Fun fact: Since Interstellar was released in 2014, only 53 minutes and 6 seconds have passed on Miller's planet.https://t.co/HZ0gmxmyxA

One of my favorite movies. It gets better with each watch.

classic nap movie- not Dune level but the zzzzz's flow

An all time favorite for me as well. And just continues to rise for me as time passes and rewatches continue.

We just watched this a couple of weeks ago. Wife had never seen it and I had not seen it since 2014. Great movie.

Weirdly, I had zero recollection of the end. I thought it ended with him trapped in the 4d bookcase for some reason.

On another note, we watched Memento last night. Another movie I had not seen in 23 years (!) and wife had never seen. That movie seems like a warmup to Tenet. Great move as opposed to Tenet.

Masterpiece.

Only bad thing about the entire movie is that TARS and CASE needed even more interaction and dialogue. Every single time they were included in the scene, or script, was so freaking fantastic. By far the best robots in any sci-fi movie, imo. I could literally list every single scene they either have a line or interaction, and why it's awesome.

Are we the same person? Exact same scenario with my gf last weekend. I hadn't seen it since theaters, she had never seen it, and I totally forgot the ending. The bookcase scene was so impactful/mind blowing that I guess I glossed over the real ending in my mind.

Said this before on here, but rewatched it recently for the first time since having a daughter, and the whole movie just hit on a new level. I am not a big crier, but i lost it in the scene where he leaves while Murph is protesting and she runs out of the house too late, as he is already down the road. That scene was alwys powerful, but never used to turn me into a bowl of uncontrollable sobbing mush like this.

Still get mad that the family at the end didn't know what he had done or his impact.

I always thought that the point here is that they don't know who he is because he's the ancestor that got lost in deep space, whereas his daughter is the hero that saved humanity. but her hero is her dad who reached across space and time to help her and to him that's all that matters.

This scene bugs me too. If your grandfather / great grandfather who was long thought dead suddenly showed up, how are you not excited to meet him? No one in that room gave him a second thought besides Murph.

I remember the first time I watched it I was completely mesmerized by the movie, I started researching worm holes and black holes afterwards lol. I watched the movie again the next day. I cant remember the last time I watched a movie twice in a row like that because it was so freaking good.

Bruh. This dude came out of a ****ing black hole, from another time, unaged, after having provided the solution to an entire species' impending extinction - AND THEY KICKED HIM OUT OF THE HOSPITAL ROOM.

I get what the point probably was, but there is no way his daughter hasn't shown her family pictures of her dad and told the story 1,000 times about how he helped her save the species. There is no way that family wouldn't know his face, or at minimum, his name.

No. CASE is on the Edmunds' planet with Dr. Brand at the end of the movie. CASE went with her to help pilot the ship. Perhaps another rewatch is in order.

Greet him, at a bare minimum. Or even acknowledge him.

Really disliked this movie the first time I saw it. Thought the tesseract was dumb and basically didn't get it. A few years later on the advice of a poster on here I read the companion book by Kip Thorne that opened my mind to how amazing this movie is. Nolan put an incredible amount of thought and effort in this movie and it works beautifully.

Also had a kid and as others said that really makes the weight of Coopers decision and actions kit home in a different way. I've probably seen it a dozen or so times now and it's easily in my top 10 of all time.

This movie has to be very high on the list of movies that get better with every rewatch.

I understand the gripe about the family scene but it doesn't bother me. The point of the scene is Coop fulfilling his promise to Murph, and that it was their love for each other that transcended time and space to help solve the equation.

Would've been cool the see Coop interact with his family as well but at 2:49 runtime I get leaving it out entirely.

For me it's an easy fix, just have a short moment where the whole family is in shock at seeing him, but have Cooper's attention focused completely on Murph.

That at least acknowledges that the family knows who he is, has probably heard the story of his exploits from Murphy, and they understand the weight of that moment.

Meh... I disagree. That moment wasn't about them, that moment was about Cooper and Murphy. To put yourself in between that is simply selfish.

If i was sitting in my grandmother's hospital room while she was on her deathbed, and her father seemingly comes back from beyond the grave, I'm not stopping him at the door to introduce myself and talk about where he's been the last 80 years. I'm standing to the side and letting him have his moment with his daughter.

Just confirmed, still get chills from the trailer...

Think about it though, if Murph proclaimed to one an all how she made her discovery most people would rightfully think she's just being a crazy eccentric genius, "So your dad reached beyond time and space to affect gravity in a room and the mechanical function of a watch, thereby giving you the necessary data needed to control gravity?..........riiiiggghhht."
