I don't get people who complain about scientific reality being stretched for the sake of telling a story. That's like dismissing Cubism because it's not an accurate portrayal of reality. It's entirely missing the point.

Not saying this to anyone in particular here, just a comment.

Although I've pointed out some of these "flaws", I can't really complain about them. I appreciate that the movie got me thinking so much about how it all works.

At the end he should have looked up into the sky and said "knowledge was their gift. Their gift was knowledge."

the movie does require some suspension of disbelief. They do set the rules of what can happen within the universe of the story, but it is based upon our universe that we (at least assume or as far as we know through science) are very familiar with. It just kind of seems like a natural reaction to a movie that is based on what we're familiar with.

So I had this dream the other night that me and LV convinced Nolan to cut the Hathaway love speech and lengthen the wormhole and/or black hole scene so the song Newborn by Muse could be played in it's entirety. Made the movie so much better.

what does LV look like in your dreams? in mine, he's like a ryan phillipe with 90s-style part-in-the-middle hair.
