Trivia

This movie is the first time brothers Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan have worked on a completely original script, unlike their past projects which were adapted from novels, short stories or comic books (although. technically, Memento (2000) was billed as an original script, even though it was indeed based on a short story titled "Memento Mori", but as this story was written by Jonathan Nolan, and the script was published before the short story, the case could be made that "Memento" was actually the brothers' first original script).

Goofs

When leaving Earth, a three stage rocket is used to launch the Ranger and four people (and a robot). When leaving the water planet (with 1.3 times Earth's gravity) the thrust from Ranger is sufficient to lift 2 people (and a robot). The combined weight of the other two people would not be enough to combat the additional gravity.

Quotes

Cooper: After you kids came along, your mom, she said something to me I never quite understood. She said, "Now, we're just here to be memories for our kids." I think now I understand what she meant. Once you're a parent, you're the ghost of your children's future.

Crazy Credits

The Warner Bros, Paramount, Syncopy and Legendary Pictures logos are brown and dusty, representing Earth's arid dry state in the film.

Alternate Versions

The 70mm IMAX version is two minutes shorter than the regular 70mm, Digital IMAX, 35mm, and digital projection versions. This is because the end credits are played in an abbreviated slide-show form (rather than scrolling from bottom to top), due to the size capacity of the IMAX platters, which can hold a maximum of 167 minutes of film.

User Reviews

Best movie I have seen in my life

This movie was the best written, acted, visual effected, etc. movie. This movie was the best movie I have ever seen. I am a huge Christopher Nolan fan and this movie was his finest. Matthew McConaughey turned in his best performance of his lifetime. Anne Hathaway was an amazing supporting actress and compared to her performance in Les Miserables, I have no idea how she didn't get an Oscar for this. The visual effects were more than just Oscar worthy. They were pioneering. I have never seen anything like it. One thing I would recommend is having a little previous knowledge about space. Not like Einstein stuff though. I would recommend you see this movie as fast as you can if you are a Nolan fan or not. I give this movie a rating of 97 out of 100.
