Interstellar (2014) FULL Reaction!

I completely forgot I'd seen this before until Matt Damon showed up. Fortunately I was remembering things as they were happening, so the ending didn't get ruined. A couple other great SciFi movies you might consider reacting to are Moon and I am Mother Mother. The TV series Away which is on netflix covers some similar subject matter.

I remember seeing this movie in theaters in 2014. I remember feeling that it was amazing and awe-inspiring, and very exhausting. I wasn’t prepared for what I was getting into. Since then I must have seen this movie 10 times, and I’ve loved it every time! The ‘docking’ scene is hands-down the best piece of cinematography to hit the big screen. And Hanz Zimmer nailed it with the soundtrack! Also, just wanted to say I really appreciate your reaction style - it’s genuinely what you’re feeling and not some over-the-top expressions of a lot of other reaction channels. Thanks!

Agreed. In this YouTube video, astronaut Chris Hadfield reviews space movies and speaks about the visualization of the black hole at 16:28 as you've mentioned. (timestamps for the video are included to avoid spoilers for other films) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RkhZgRNC1k 0:50 Gravity 5:00 Passengers 8:00 Armageddon 9:53 The Martian 13:40 Apollo 13 16:28 Interstellar 20:40 First Man 23:57 Hidden Figures 25:55 Ad Astra 29:26 2001:A Space Odyssey 31:09 WALL-E 32:47 Sunshine {I haven't seen this one}

This as well was the reaction that tipped me over the edge to subscribe. And join Patreon for that matter. I guess it's rare to see someone that hasn't seen some of these classic movies yet, especially movies like The Matrix or The LOTR trilogy. So watching these reactions is like watching it again through that lens. The Matrix is my all time favorite movie, and this is my 5th (we shall see if Cass ends up watching the other 3 on my list which are Gladiator, Braveheart, and Mad Max Fury Road, in that order) But back to this movie, it is incredible. And Nolan is still my current favorite director (despite Tenet, I really tried to like it trust me). Since the days of Batman Begins, and then of course I dipped into the small back catalog and followed on ever since. The reason this movie is my favorite of this is simply this, the emotional element is incredibly powerful. It was always my reason for anticipating it as much as I did when I first saw the trailer. I really wanted to see how the story played out between Murph and Coop (man he didn't even ask about his son in the end, that's cold). Obviously, the movie is visually stunning, and Hans Zimmer's soundtrack are always otherworldly and epic. The overall story is great too, but I will never forget the thrill of watching the scene after that coward Manns blows the ship and Coop has to dock it spinning at who knows how fast (I know they said but I forget). THAT was the moment where I knew this would be one of my favorite movies of all time. The ending I still have trouble fully grasping, but that's okay, I don't think it's as important as what I think is the main driving force of the story. The relationship between Murph and Coop. Well done. I hope to see more reactions in the future!

This was the reaction that tipped me over the edge and convinced me to be a patron. Thanks for publishing this for us. I look forward to seeing more film reactions.

Six years later, and I still really love this movie. Is it perfect? No. But, it's a movie that has stayed with me. I had the great fortune to see this movie in IMAX (actual film not the digital fake Imax) on opening night. Unfortunately, there were two problems that night. First, the theater (the Irvine Spectrum Imax) didn't have a lot experience (according to the manager) of threading physical film at the time. The result was that they had several false starts where there would be sound but no picture or picture but no sound. Fixing it took about 30 minutes and several false starts. Then, there was the recurring issue that Nolan has with the dialogue sound mix. Specifically, Professor Brand's (Michael Cain) dialog was drowned out by the music during his deathbed scene. Nolan had this same problem in Dark Knight Rises with early theatrical cuts of Bane where he was nearly unintelligible. I hear that Tenet has this problem too, but I haven't seen it yet. The sound has been fixed on all formats, but it was frustrating at the time. Despite my experience, I would go back to watch special event movies. (Dune and Avatar for example.) I loved the movie overall, but I still have a problem with Dr. Mann's character (Matt Damon). His actions felt to me like he was there simply to provide drama and story conflict. His motivations felt unrealistic to me given his (apparently) life's work as an explorer and scientist. The other issue I had was that only love can transcend space and time. But, I still rolled with it. On the plus side, I really liked the character moments and character relationships that the Nolans created -- esp. his relationship with Murph. Also, TARS (Bill Irwin) was a highlight for me. I have an affinity for space scifi. The idea of a catastrophic ecological collapse which threatens our food supply was interesting, and I thought that was a good jumping off point for the story. Not enough is said about Hans Zimmer's score which is a soundtrack I still listen to on occasion. If you haven't seen them yet, I look forward to seeing your reactions to other movies in Nolan's filmography -- notably Inception, The Prestige, and Memento. Thank you for your reaction! I look forward to watching much more in the coming weeks...

You need to set Marge's tenacity setting down to 40%. This is the first time I have watched a full film under your Patreon account. It is like watching a movie with a great friend who happens to love and appreciate film. I really thank-you for the experience. and how about that soundtrack!!

Thank you for this wonderful reaction, especially your enthusiasm after the film. I can't remember the first time I watched this, but the second time was oddly enough not in my own country but in Rome (I have a friend who lives there). And I bawled just as much at that scene when Cooper sees his children's videos as I did the first time, and the third time, and the fourth time (which was this time). For all the scientific talk about wormholes and relativity and whatnot, it is indeed love that transcends space and time. I'm afraid at the time this was viewed as too sappy, Anne Hathaway's monologue about love mocked. Our world's just too cynical.

Marc Van de Klashorst

Yep, that would be Jackie’s😂

I watched this film at the movie theater back in 2014 and I had the feeling you are talking about, it's something special about leaving a movie theater after you have seen a great movie. You should definitely check out some behind the scenes videos, whats special about Nolan is that he uses as much practical effects as possible. And Hans Zimmer is just the best!

Amazing movie , amazing reaction loved it didnt even mind the motion sickness i experienced at times it was worth it for sure , never seen this movie til now so was lovely to experience it alongside you cass , had to wipe my eyes a few times the film puts you through it thats for sure . just curious about marge do you have some sort of AI vacuum cleaner ?

Ian

Not sure if this has changed but at the time the simulation of the black hole, or at least the visualization was the most accurate in history. They used tons of real scientists to create this.

Your reaction was wonderful. I believe one of the reasons your patrons are drawn to you is the touch of naïveté that you bring to your viewing, and genuine good nature that you posses and project. In short, your commentary and post film analysis made me feel young again. Thank you Cass.

just watched this again a few days ago. what is the time stamp for scene where he watches the video of adult kids. want to see her reaction to that

Sean Stuart

I think of Joey's stage play on Friends, if you know, you know. when saying goodbye, he says "Now, I'm going to get on this space ship! and search for alternative fuels.. but when I return.. 500 years from now.. you'll be long gone! and I won't have aged at all! so you tell your great, great granddaughter to look me up!"

Mister Lou

Subbed just to see this reaction because its my favorite movie, but I'll stick around for more movie reactions in the future.

Christopher Larimer

Matthew McConaughy's acting was great. I loved this movie and the scene when he finally returns and meets up with his now elderly daughter while still looking young was a long awaited happy reunion and yet so sad ! 😢
