Did we watch the same movie? They got bunch of physics stuff right, like the water planet, the relative aging due to being near the massive black hole etc. Only thing that wasn't "correct" was the wormhole and especially the tesseract, but that was some creative writing which allowed for a nice twist. I enjoyed it, a nice scifi.

It was completely uneven. Cooper sobbing as he listened to years of messages from his family? I wish I could've written that. The twist where Mann activated his beacon because he didn't want to die alone? Solid. We need the gravity equation to get off Earth because the crops are dying? Love can escape a black hole through the tesseract? This is just patent technobabble nonsense. Where _Interstellar_ fails is in expos…

Interstellar blackhole VFX implemented in 40k lines of C++ Would be a better title

I worked on this movie, I was at DNEG at the time. One of the standout things that I remember is that this particular simulation was toxic to the fileserver that it was being stored on. From what I recall, I don't think that it was running on that many machines at once. Mainly because it required the high memory nodes that were expensive. I think it was only running on ~10 possibly 50 machines concurrently. But I cou…

Their starship was bullshit. On earth they needed a big Saturn 5 like rocket to bring it into space and later they fly into orbit like it's nothing. If the planets they visited had much lower gravity then earth this may be possible, but this wasn't noticeable or talked about. And even on Mars you need much more fuel to get into orbit than could be stored in their tiny ship.
