Spoiler alert.

Just came back from the IMAX showing. Great film. I thought the set up in the beginning was a little rushed. They didn't go whole lot into what was wrong with the planet. But I think they had a lot sht they had to cover so it was understandable.

Definitely got a 2001 vibe but not quite as "alien" as the 2001 films were. I almost cried when he finally came back and saw his daughter. I felt those feels.

No one has explained what a spoiler alert is to you.

But to answer your question the planet is losing its magnetic field

Haven't seen the movie yet and haven't read the thread because I don't want to be too spoiled, but on the concepts of time travel and some sort of cyclical timeline for reality...

If you believe it is possible to travel into the future... Wouldn't that future be predetermined and already in existence? Would it be predetermined by the events taking place at the exact moment you left from, or would it not matter and the end result be the same? If the future IS predetermined, that would have some pretty big implications.

Me personally, I kinda believe it would be possible to travel back in time but not forward. I believe this because the past has already happened and past events have shaped our present. Another way to think about it is looking up at the night sky. Some of the stars we see aren't even there anymore, so you're looking back in time.

 

If time does somehow fold onto itself, then that would mean that the universe is finite and has a limited space for expansion. Things could exist in parallel universes and the potential could exist for intersecting universes. Time could be cyclical and everything and everyone is just a part of a huge recycling of energy and matter.

 

I enjoy thinking about stuff like this, and it really makes you realize how insignificant we really are.

 

 

Don't start me on time and time travels!!!!

 

If you want to travel in the past the particules forming our universe must be splited all along the time line,

like a ray in the time dimension, so a neutron, a proton or any particule is a particule in the present.

Now extend the time line to 10 sec in the past and your neutrons, protons are becoming strings.

The futur is made of probabilities so i agree end of the story.

 

I have been warned on a French forum about sciences, they told me even if you are right, theories like this are forbidden on the forums.. it was about electrons in quantum physics an electron is not a particule but a wave.

I told them this is maybe a bad understanding and this is because the futur is made of probaility and probabilites are looking like a wave because your electron can be anywere the instant after

I am not welcome anymore on their forums, scientists are boring peoples :-)

 

Like you i am thinking alot about things like this and i have conclusions about many things, even the "after life" ^^

 

 

About the film it's planed for sunday, obviously the film is respecting "Enstein's theory of general relativity" so the ending is obvious for someone traveling at light speed.

Ok went to see the movie tonight, thought it was good don't know if it was the best sci-fi I've ever seen like some friends of mine suggested but still very good.

Btw my odometer hit this during the drive to see itpie for those that can make the connection.

I thought it was the runaway greenhouse effect...

watched it last night. the best 3hr movie I have seen in long time. Peter Jackson needs to learn.

I didn't dislike the movie but there were parts that I didn't think were necessary to the plot of the movie.  Don't want to spoil it but felt that basing most of the movie on a lie that ended up ruining lives wasn't really needed for this movie.

Perhaps the lie is a metaphor for organized religion?

Saw this last night. Definitely worth watching.

Nolan is one of the best things going for movies.

You really missed the beauty of it by not seeing it in Imax

I can't go to movie theaters anymore. Drives me nuts when people check their phones the whole movie, too distracting.

I've only seen this happen once that I can remember

That's a rare thing for me, but I usually sit like 4 rows in, and in the middle. so not a lot of peps in front of me to see.

Yeah I can't sit up front. I sit mid way up and every twenty seconds I see light from a cell phone.
