Interstellar, the sci-fi movie of the moment to see!




by Christophe » 11/11/14, 14:41

I just went to see Interstellar at the cinema and waaw, as I expected it is a very good film that I advise all econologists (despite some lengths).

No doubt the 2014 blockbuster that makes you think!

Some links:
Allocation sheet: http://www.allocine.fr/film/fichefilm_g ... 14782.html

Trailers: http://www.allocine.fr/video/player_gen ... 14782.html

Interview with a scientific adviser of the film (a bit exaggerated title): http://www.courrierinternational.com/ar ... la-fiction

There are still some cinematographic heaviness (at the beginning in particular) and some scientific errors (including a very coarse at the end) but it is still a very good movie!

yes, I have been to see him too.
a certain number of improbabilities, but it lets itself be watched.

What pissed me the most, the takeover of the drone at the beginning of the film.
It's a tribute to Mc Gyver or what?

Quite a few improbabilities ... the control of the drone did not bother me more than that (the fact that it flew continuously for more than 10 years a little more ...)

What bothered me the most is still the end ... that could have been great ... but she is only a little Hollywood rose, happy end version anti Murphy law (those who have seen will understand my allusion)! :|

We do not know enough about the disaster that devastated humanity ... too bad that it gives a certain charm ...

By the way, when? I do not think that's indicated? I did not hear any date ...

The opinion of an astrophysicist: http://www.telerama.fr/cinema/bluffant- ... 118998.php

Is Christopher Nolan's film scientifically plausible? We asked a pro from astrophysics his point of view on "Interstellar".

Earth is running out of resources. Until then, the scenario of Interstellar is, alas, nothing futuristic. But even when he propels his hero into space, wandering wormholes in exoplanets, Christopher Nolan intends to make a scientifically realistic SF film.

His space odyssey is distinguished by a certain visual sobriety: ships with a clean design (each control button corresponds, it seems, to a functional reality), combinations inspired by those of NASA astronauts, robots with a quasi- look Scandinavian (simple articulated gray rectangles).

As for the speech, the filmmaker also wanted to hold the rope of scientific credibility. Hence the invaluable collaboration of the astrophysicist Kip Thorne, whose theses partly inspired the scenario (supposed never to strike the laws of physics), and the equations, allowed the simulation of a black hole.

We asked Eric Lagadec, an astrophysicist at the Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur, and a recent discoverer of a "hypergéante" star ("the fried egg nebula"), to go back down to earth for two hours and fifty minutes. : the time to go see Interstellar in the cinema, and evaluate its degree of scientific likelihood. Mission accomplished during a late meeting "full of young men".

Is that so? I noticed old recovery avionics, dashboard style Cesna (or other small power plane) that were used in the sets for one of the ...

Maybe it's a wink? : Cheesy:

Weird also the last 2 paragraphs, not very "scientific":

But by showing that a woman can be a great scientist, the film is still pedagogical. Parity within the research community, or rather the absence of parity, is a real problem on which many people are working. The number of women PhDs is acceptable but in permanent position, they are scandalously rare.

For the rest, we are still entitled to a small batch of clichés which, when it comes to representing science and scientists, the cinema can not resist: for example, the huge blackboard covered with equations complicated. From the nose, the calculations look true, maybe even correct. But I have never seen colleagues calculate their lives on the board ... Of course, on a sheet of paper, it's less spectacular. "

Astrophysics is in fashion in Hollywood right now, another movie to see (release next week):

A wonderful history of time based on the life of Stephen Hawking

http://www.allocine.fr/film/fichefilm_g ... 22221.html

Obviously it's more based on romance than on his research and his scientific life but hey ... considering the BA it seems a very beautiful film!

Apparently, the film deals primarily with the author's biography * and the terrible ordeal he experiences as a result of his illness (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).

Stephen Hawking is the author of the best seller "A brief history of time".
