The movie intersteller

[TNHarley]

First off, this is my favorite movie. I've watched it fifty times and it still gathers 100% of my attention.
Good acting, intelligent plot, original..
I just watched it again because it just showed up on Netflix, and it got me thinking, would I do what they did and pick saving our species over doing what I could to save the people on earth.
It's a very complicated question imo.
Wouldn't we all try to do both? Of course, but what if that just wasn't an option? What would you do?

I would save dogs.

You need to watch this movie to understand the context of my question.

Intersteller is by far the best space movie ever

In the movie they enacted both plans, hence space station Cooper, and the colony Brand was starting on Millers planet.

I'm not sure I ever saw it, I might have seen it once long ago if it is the movie I think it is, which was ultra realistic and technically accurate. The fact that Kip Thorn was a consultant is a good thing, I just doubt there are any wormholes out near Saturn.

Why find another planet when all that would result is what happened to this one. People. OR.....send all people to a new planet to destroy and leave all animals here so they can live in peace.

btw...I saw it.

Well, they would need someone that can....Run a large still, work a prison, and repair guns.....All three bases covered. I'm in!

Seemed a real downer to me.

Probably why you liked it.

Agreed. I've tried to think of a sci-fi movie that is better than it but this one is tops for me.
A great combination of actual science, space travel, lies, and sacrifice all wrapped up in the quest to save humanity.
And maybe just a little suspension of disbelief at the end.

What if you had to make the calls?
I wouldn't have gone to Miller's Planet.
Too close to the black hole and too much of a time sacrifice.

On the contrary, it is one of the most hopeful movies I've seen.
The hope that sacrifice and sheer determination can overcome great odds.

Yeah it's actually based on science and what we can understand. No delusion. So I see why you didn't like it

Little ol' me found a couple of scientific goofs in it.

The planet the woman astronaut landed on was in the black hole's gravity well, deep enough that it dilated time.

But they heard her transmissions clearly, on the frequency her ship was transmitting on.

Nope! The Doppler Effect would have changed the radio's frequency. Receivers outside the gravity well would not have picked it up on her ship's assigned frequency.

The second goof is a planet that deep into a gravity well to dilate time that much would more than likely have been ripped apart by tidal forces, and/or been sterilized by the massive amount of X-rays that radiate from matter being torn apart by black holes.

Other than that, it's a great movie, and I really enjoyed it.

Yeah, it's not a movie for dullards.....It's not a bug hunt.

Your response is theory.

Based in science like Global Warming and men having babies?

I have no problem with science.....I just hate science fiction where they discover that they're in a hopeless situation and must accept their fate.

I had enough of that kind of science in the 60s and 70s.

No. You are boring me.

The Doppler Effect is well-known.
