Ya, over the last 20 years, there's a consistent trend of Zimmer coming up with scores that everyone falls in love with, immediately copies, and drives into the ground. It happened in the late 90s when everyone started doing the Military Zimmer scores, it happened post Dark Knight with everyone doing the percussion strings, and it happened post Inception with everyone doing the horn notes. Whatever Zimmer is doing with Interstellar, there's a good chance it's going to become the new sound for a lot of movies, so if he's indeed going to a more orchestral Jerry Goldsmith sound as that trailer would indicate, it's great news for everyone.

Some of the weird electronic static and wubs in that soundtrack probably inspired a young Skrillex, too.

I've asked a few random people what they felt about the film cuz I wondered the same thing, and the jist of their reactions/impressions weren't very positive. The general vibe seems to be that it's being seen as a sappy feel-good story by those with sci-fi bents, and a boring sci-fi film by those who aren't.

To be fair, that's partially Zimmer's own fault since he kept creating the "a bunch of composers in one studio collaborating" system, that results in quite a few crossovers and such. The rest is directors' faults because Zimmer always gets attached to one of the largest movies of the year and they're like "make my movie sound like that one!"

I believe this is the sound everyones talking about? https://soundcloud.com/8dawn/hybrid-tools-vol-2-mega-horns The second anyone big comes up with something new these guys are onto it, recreating it, making variations and selling them to other composers/producers. Basically if someones making music for movies or games, they probably own this - http://8dio.com/instrument-category/hybrid-tools/#instrument/bundle-7-all-hybrid/ It's not a big investment if you're a working producer and get to save weeks/months of recording individual drum hits. cubicle gangster fucked around with this message at 23:11 on Oct 12, 2014 |

Hi. New here. Anyway, I read the 2008 screenplay before ever seeing the spoilers posted on here. I admit, it was a bit fantastical and really hard to envision as a Christopher Nolan movie (not because it was so far removed from anything we've experienced, but because it seemed to be missing the Chris in the Nolan since it was his brother that wrote the original). Just read the article in Entertainment Weekly: Chris Nolan officially boarded Interstellar in 2012. He wasn't jealous of everything in his brother's screenplay. "I think the first thing I told him was: 'You realize I'm going to rewrite this, right?" says Nolan. He wanted to reshape the middle section, the exploration of planets. He wanted to play with scale and pit man against monolithic nature. Dust storms. Tidal waves. The spoiler in the last act. He wanted to round out the story's view of moral character with scenarios that depict humankind at its selfless best, selfish worst, and nuanced points in between. "When you take an audience as far away from human experience as possible, you wind up focusing tightly on human nature and how we are connected to each other," Nolan says. "The film tries to be very honest in that appraisal." And he wanted to change Cooper's child, Murph, from a boy to a girl. "For me, the whole movie is about what it means to be a dad," Nolan says. So, for those who read the spoilers in the thread or the screenplay itself, I have a feeling that you don't need to worry about knowing too much. The whole sun-kissing fractal life-forms and Chinese ghost town built by robots on autopilot encompasses a HUGE portion of the second act. It always seemed weird, reading that portion of the script, when compared to the feeling of any other Nolan flick I'd seen. There were some things I did notice from the new trailers that were in later sections of the script, though, such as Cooper crying over videos on the monitor, possibly the transmissions from his children that came a couple hundred years too late. That definitely fits with the notions of love and family, however much of the other events from the 2008 draft don't fit thematically into what he's stated. I'm guessing that those events had to change. Anyway, after seeing the trailers and reading that article, I'm fairly confident that the original draft or spoilers higher in the thread hasn't ruined much for people. Shoot, even something as simple as his occupation is different from engineer to pilot (implied). Looking forward to seeing this flick, definitely. surfwriter1 fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Oct 19, 2014 |

There were two previews of the film yesterday. One to cinema proprietors in New York, and another to military families at Fort Hood. Twitter reaction seemed to be positive ("depressing but good" to "BEST MOVIE EVER"). Apart from the crying babies at the military showing.

Navy Pier and the IMAX out in Lincolnshire. I'm only going to Navy Pier because it opens there Tuesday, as opposed to Friday, but if you have a car, I'd drive out to Lincolnshire to see it, it's so much easier than dealing with Navy Pier.

Yeah, every Marvel movie is at 96% on day 1. Mixed reviews can also mean you frustrated people with an ambiguous ending or challenging themes or something that doesn't have a nice bow tied at the end. Nothing against Marvel, but high early reviews can also indicate a comfortable film without risks. Not necessarily, but the trailers so far make it seem like a dense movie. I guess Inception rated well, though.

Remains to be seen if its the good kind of mixed, or the bad kind (where people are afraid to criticize their idols and give hedging recommendations - see Prometheus). Its a real bummer if he indeed didn't knock it out of the park, most of Nolan's stuff ends up tripping itself up just short of greatness and I was hoping this would be the one where he finally nails it, but I guess not.

Top critics are at 100% so. I think if Nolan doesn't get credit for this in hollywood he's gonna make a really dull period piece with Daniel Day Lewis and win the oscar and be all like "gently caress you"
