fell asleep on you guys during the watchalong the other night. so I had to drop in and see the ending and your reactions. one thing people don't pick up on with the whole "love transcends time and space" is that love allowed him and Brand to handshake , so we know that he finds her and they fall in love /were already having feelings for each other when that happened.
Literally just came down to write this. Feeling sad that she didn't have more kids, so she could be surrounded by a huge family full of love. Simply lovely, what a beautiful soul. Hope to find someone like that one day. Very lucky guy
"You told them I liked farming?" That singular line is incredibly apt to the scenario. The little nudge from a daughter to a father that let everyone know she had forgiven him.
As a girl-dad, the "because my daddy promised" kills me every time. My favorite thing about this movie is my daughter watching it with me hugging me the entire time.
The first time I watched this movie: My parents wanted to watch San Andreas and I chose Interstellar instead. No one was in the movie theater and I sat all the all the way in the back. The music. The emotion. The docking scene. I was in tears. I’ll never forget the feeling I had watching. Just beautiful. One of my favorite movies.
I watched this movie with my cousin in the movie theater, and it was just the two of us last movie playing that night. He fell asleep, lol, but I was blown away with how great this movie is. I'll always remember that night.
One of the greatest films ever made, with the absolute best soundtrack of all time. Christopher Nolan is an absolute genius. The journey this film takes you on is ridiculous. In Nolan's own words, "don't try to understand it, just feel it." The visuals, the music, the hard-hitting dialogue, the gut-wrenching emotional scenes and the plot twists. Man, what a film. Also, the fact that the science in this film is 100% accurate and grounded in scientific theory is just beyond me. They used theory to render a model of what a black hole would look like, and when the first ever image of a black hole was taken in 2019, it was exactly what Interstellar showed 5 years before.
@seraeggobutterworth5247 Humans aren't used to thinking in those terms. From your logic, they should have realized the tide issue. But we aren't used to thinking in those terms.
@@JeshuaSquirrel Nonsense. That was sloppy writing and we both know it. The signal from the water mountain planet would have been coming in at an extremely slow rate, hundreds of not thousands of times slower than the other beacons that were also transmitting, clearly telling them that it was failed mission. Same with the habitability of the place, how would humanity have moved there when the time dilation was so vast that a single dropship flight would have aged the "normal time" people well outside the time dilation bubble possibly more than a lifetime's worth?
@seraeggobutterworth5247 Exactly! We all know the gravity of the Moon is what causes the tide on Earth. WTF would a Black Holes gravity do to water on a planet close to it! There is no way they didn't know that while knowing exactly how long the time difference would be..
56:42 Nikki questioning herself like that was so pure and beautiful. Your two children are blessed with parents like you and I'm certain you make a wonderful family
So often do I wonder if my wife and I should have had more than two. Love those two with everything I am, but maybe they should have been a posse, a wake spreading out into the world to do more good and love.
Fun fact, on Millers Planet you can hear a ticking in the background. These ticks happen every 1.25 seconds, which represents a full day passing on earth
@@briancarpenter6413 No it's not just the music, this was specifically added as subtle background detail. I'm not sure about the interval of Earth time for each tick, but it was absolutely an intended effect.
@@AngelArm1110 It’s a rough estimate, but it comes to around a day per 1.25 seconds. They are stuck on the planet for about two hours (there is a time skip in in the film) which equals to about 24 years
Another thing is that they had Kip Thorne theoretical physicist who came up with the concept of the movie. They were able to use Hollywood's budget to render a black hole using real mathematics, which then had scientific papers written about it. Just amazing. It's so awesome to see science in the main stream media and have it be so phenomenal.
I remeber an intervieuw when they put all the theoratical math into the rendering and produced the image of a black hole thats used in the movie. The folks at Hollywood did not understand the whole light on the horizon and the light from the back curved over it. Then they showed it to the science guy and his reacction was: 'O yeah ofcourse that makes sense'. And then years later when the first better picctures of a known blackhole came trough, it was confirmed.
@@GeorgeTropicana It's not wrong... The strong gravity from the black hole warps space around it. Light is apart of that space. So yes gravity does affect the path of light. This is supported by Einstein's general theory of relativity. Why don’t you let the people who know what they’re talking about correct people instead.
"Because my dad promised me." Instant tears every time. Also, no matter when I see it or how many time I have seen it already, the "years of messages" scene gets me every damn time, especially if you remember that Coop lost a grandson in a matter of seconds.
The docking scene is easily in my top 5 IMAX scenes of all time, the music, the intensity, the visuals.. it’s an incredible moment that you just get lost in.
On RUclips, find Anna Lapwood performing 'No Time for Caution' on the organ at the Albert Hall in London. It'll make you wish you would have been there.
@@Loonaurtheworld I think being gay doesn't mean someone can't have children. There are other factors, of course, but if they want to, I believe it's possible. By the way, I'm not gay, but I am queer.
Yes exactly. The scenes of the parent child relationship hits the strongest, especially for parents, in the intercom scenes after 23 years apart, and of course the ending. and whoever else that understood the love connection, whether you are single or have children or not. People who do not yet understand that, has not much impact from those scenes and that's ok. They usually have no children.
A couple fun facts: 1. Kip Thorne was the physicist they consulted on this film for all the visuals. He said he would not work on the film if they tried to dramatize the visuals (which they didn’t). The imagery of the black hole is as close of a representation of what it would really look like based on current calculations. 2. During the docking scene after Mann is unalived, the reason Cooper didn’t pass out is because he kept his head against the spin to decrease the G force on his body. Brand went with the spin which is why she passed out so quick. Cooper’s piloting experience is what saved them.
Ooh so close. Coop was going into the direction of the spin and Brann whent against it. They where spinning clockwise. So left side around. Thats why Coop was leaning to the left so Deoxygenated blood could leave his brain by gravitational pull and he needed to push Oxygenated blood back up into his brain by using piloting techniques. Brann on the other hand gave in to the pull on her body to the right. That made hear head the furtherst past of her body and all the blood would pool in her head without any means to work against gravity to go back into the body and to the heart. So no Oxygenated blood could move trough the brain anymore. So you are absolutely right, but got the firections mixed up :)
@@ronniebots9225 it was centrifugal force so they were both being pushed to the outside of the ship, that's how they get gravity because they're walking around it lengthwise. because they were at the direct center point of the spin they both were being pushed in the opposite direction. So I don't think it's a slip up.
yea and the time travel doesn't cause the grandfather paradox. The worm hole and surviving the black hole are all mathematically possible (gravastar--gravitational vacuum star and white hole/time-reversed black hole). So the future beings, to make sure they and all of humanity would exist, they ensured that the black hole tesseract and the worm hole worked, put in the right place in the past, and didn't collapse. They were supposed to put these galactic object in the right place back in the past to make sure the humans in the movie did exactly what was going to happen. Perhaps Brand (Anne Hathaway's character) would have known that the future people would make time-reversing black holes and that Cooper would come back.
My grandpa died while having his 8 kids, 29 grandkids, and 19 great grandchildren around him ( + some of his brothers and nephews, plenty of people from his church and his neighbors). The moment was a testament of having lived his life right, maintaining a relationship with his kids + theirs. So rare for someone to leave this life like that but I want to finish life like that too. Completely surrounded by love, without too may regrets.
You're correct - *_Interstellar_* is a masterpiece. I never understood how, at the time, a lot of people hated on the movie because it didn't spoon-feed all the information. One of the things I *LOVE* about watching you guys' reactions is even if you don't grasp all the little nuances, you still invest yourself into the film/series you're watching. This is perhaps my favorite reaction you've done so far. Great job!
It’s funny you say that, because I specifically remember people hating on it for dumbing down information. Like, why would they need to explain the wormhole or relativity to a Coop, who should know these things already. There are moments like this just for the audience, and I think they were done very well. It just goes to show people will complain about anything.
@@c.a.honeycutt5046 You are so right. IDK but at the time I went to see it, so many people were saying that they didn't get it and why did all of Nolan's films "make you work for it" and there was this heavy comparison being made to *_Inception_* . Now I'll be the first to admit that I enjoy mindless, spoon-fed movies also, but I love movies that make you *FEEL* something and *_Interstellar_* does that in droves.
Ok, I don’t hate Interstellar, there’s a lot of great things about it, but the story kinda goes off the rails and while the finale is emotional, it made me go “wha” not because I didn’t know what was going on, but because it was nonsensical BS.
@@teutonicknight23 Fair point. And I get that criticism. But Chris's whole point was that no one knows what *ACTUALLY* goes on inside of a blackhole. Not even scientists. Neil DeGrasse even said Chris's take was highly plausible considering no human alive or dead has ever been in or entered the 4th dimension. The finale was about possibility. Is it possible? Coop entered the 4th dimension and then Nolan used the art of the unknown to fuel his plot. That's not nonsensical BS, that is great storytelling101. There are still so many things in this universe that are unexplainable and assuming that it can all be explained by today's scientific knowledge and technology is foolhardy IMHO. This is one of the many reasons I don't particularly like hard-science fiction (I prefer fantastical Sci-Fi and Space Opera's). Hard-SF is telling a story far-fetched into the future but using today's science and tech to fuel the story. That makes absolutely no sense to me. The arrogance of some to think that "we know all we're ever going to know" is the real nonsensical BS. Go back to the 1960's and explain (I'm sorry - *TRY* to explain) smart phones to the so-called... "Scientific Community" of that time.
a lot of people couldn't wrap their brains around it. It requires kind of a basic level of knowledge of physics to fully grasp it. Relativity and especially quantum mechanics is a total and complete mindfuck, even the dimensional stuff, I can't remember if it's in string theory or something else, but due to the curvature of space, the math shows something like 11 dimensions are possible, and to explain that to someone is really hard. Because it's not dimensions like they show in fantasy but like spatial dimensions, think x-y-z but add 8 more integers there. Go look at a 3d model of a 4D or 5D image and it will completely melt your brain trying to figure it out, because we just aren't built to really comprehend anything other than 3 dimensions
2:41 - Instead of renting/leasing a property to shoot the farm scenes, Nolan literally bought a farm, grew corn on it, shot those scenes for the movie, then sold the farm for a profit. Fucking legend.
TBF, with all the money he's gotten from hsi films, he could probably buy 100 of those farms, cultivate it and sell it at a profit with no tangible detriment to his own finances
@@kenjinpiniteu I don't know why that's where you went with it, the impressive part is that he went the extra mile and actually grew the corn himself, which is far more effort than just renting one that already exists. Not how much money it costs. I also doubt he's as rich as you think he is.
@@VColossalV raised by a bloodline of farmers here, sure not corn farmers (mostly rice, banana and pineapple but that’s what you get here in the tropics) but most farming principles are the same, save there in the US your farmers have a lot more equipment available to work with. Also highly doubting Nolan himself planted those one by one, not even my family did and we definitely had less of a budget than he did.
@@kenjinpiniteu Of course he didn't literally plant each, one by one. Point is it would have been much easier to just buy it, but he cared that much about his vision and creating it how he wanted that he made sure the farm was grown from scratch, and didn't waste it afterwards. I'm sure it still stands today. Also Nolan isn't using his own money for the movie, of course, the budget is given by the studio.
@@VColossalV How funny would it be if he used studio budget to buy the farm land but then sold it for profit and kept said profit hahaha, I'm sure that's not what happened, but I'm gonna make that the narrative in my head lmao
I knew Nikki was gonna lose it at the end. Can't believe it took this long for them to watch it. And didn't disappoint. 56:21 "That was so good" with that exhausted tone sums it up perfectly. Amazing reaction to one of the best films of all time.
This movie was the definition of mind blowing. I’ve seen it about 6 or 7 times and it blows me away every time. Visually, musically, writing, directing, emotions… just crazy
Nikki is such a sweet and sensitive person, her reactions bring me to tears. Hans Zimmer and Christopher Nolan genuinely created a masterpiece with Interstellar.
The first thing that struck me there was that Romilly spent 23 YEARS alone up there. 23 damn years. Any other person would've blown their brains out in that time. Absolute hero.
@@HighLordBlazeReborn... Romilly did say that he went into cryo-sleep a few times, but still, he had a very tough time. He could talk to CASE, which was better than nothing!
Matthew's performance during the message listeing scene was worth an oscar. He's such a talented actor, he was able to show an insane amount of feelings.
I remember seeing this with my dad when it first came out and he’s not someone who likes to go to the movies with how expensive it is but once we finished the movie he came out of the theater and he goes. “I want to see that again in theaters.” I was so shocked now it’s such a special movie between us both that we love so much.
Literally one of my favorite movies of all time! Can you believe none of Christopher Nolan’s movies have won best picture at the Oscar’s?!?! Hope that changes this year!
The oscars is just a popularity contest for the hollywood clique though, Nolan doesn't belong to that club, he does his own thing, doesn't use his movies to push a political point of any kind, he just tells incredible stories because he knows that that's his craft, he's not a director or a writer, he's a storyteller and keeps that perfectly central to everything he does.
The Organ! Hans Zimmer used a 1926 four-manual Harrison & Harrison organ (in London's Temple Church) as the primary instrument for the score. Zimmer requested that organist Roger Sayer, the music director of Temple Church, play the organ. The physical appearance of the organ reminded Zimmer of spaceship afterburners, while the airiness of its sound reminds us that every breath is precious for an astronaut.
I never get tired of watching people seeing this for the first time. It's still such an intense masterpiece, and I love all the varying perspectives you share and feel.
About every 3 days I'm refreshing the browser for "Nolan's news*. I'm just so curious what's his next project that will be such a big part in my heart and life, like any of his previous movies. Everything around and about Nolan is ❤🎉
Nikki, You made me cry so hard with your feelings on how many children you could have had and being afraid of being older and alone.. I am 40 and childless and happy but I felt you very much in that , thank you for sharing your feelings so openly with us.. you help me not be so alone :)
I also think that this is one of the most wonderful reactions to this movie on YT. I was very surprised that Nikki is able to be so emotionally open in front of the camera. I wish you very good friends and a wonderful life with beautiful movies ahead :)
One crazy fact about this movie is they took the consultation with scientists very seriously and talked to them extensively about what a black hole would look like if you were near one. It was from those discussions that they built the visual for Gargantua. Later, like 7 years after the movie came out, scientists got an image captured of a black hole M87 and it looked pretty close to the visual from the movie (obviously a lot blurrier)
My wife and I are not capable of having kids, but the scene where Dr Mann asks "Do you see your children?" broke us. This is my favorite movie to date, and I have seen it over 30 times now, and still play the soundtrack from time to time.
Fun fact, Dr. Mann's name is Hugh Mann (human) as he represents the base human, we all hate him because he really would be most of us, someone who didnt wanna die alone and had a button close by he could press to save himself, the selfish part of humanity in one character, truely a messed up and beautiful representation of "Hugh Mannity" my favorite movie of all time i love it, and it truely fully convinced me to go into my physics degree which im almost finished with :) loved the reaction and so glad you two enjoyed!
Very real reaction, and Nikki’s reaction at the end did make me think too. We all want to leave a legacy as we face our mortality. Being surrounded by your family as you die is the best legacy, as opposed to being alone as you face your inevitable death .
How we live is more important than what we leave behind. The purpose of life isn’t to simply continue and continue for no reason. Aside from the fact that humans can’t seem to control their population growth and therefore have dwindling resources.
Some people may disagree. I understand your point of view. I was quite nihlistic at one stage, and thought never wanting kids was fine. And it totally is if that's your choice. I thought about how much I love history, and our civilisation and species. We are meant to leave our DNA on to continue our legacy and the struggles our ancestors went through to survive to bring you into the world. I want my great, great grandchildren to hopefully go out and experience life and maybe even change the world for the better. @@Kurlach
@@Kurlach True, but humans biggest fear is to not matter, to be forgotten. Creating a legacy is the closest we come to not die, which is also one of humans biggest fears. It's in our biology to care about our life, to survive.
This movie is one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time. The music composed by legendary Hans Zimmer is simply a masterpiece. The music makes you feel every emotion that goes hand in hand with every scene. The ups and downs just puts you on an emotional rollercoaster. Kudos to those involved with the creation of this movie and script. It blows my mind how creative some people are. I absolutely love Matthew's acting in all the movies he has been in. He really is a very talented actor. Great genuine reaction by you two. Thanks for sharing. ❤
Another great reaction from you two. Excellent vulnerability you two showed. Watching this movie in IMAX on opening night is an experience I will take with me forever. No other film has ever matched it and I have seen dozens of hit movies in IMAX. This movie is pure art.
This is definitely up there for one of the greatest films ever made. Story wise. Cinematically. This film is just such piece of art. Not to mention imo this film has one the best scores of all time.
Modern age masterpiece! I showed it to my mother and she fell asleep during the scene where Matthew breaks down crying.. Best scene in the entire movie and I will never forgive her for that.
I went by myself to the theater to watch this movie and as soon as I walkwd out I posted on facebook "This is not only the best movie I've ever seen, but I also don't see how anyone can make a better movie than this!" Ten years later I still stand by that statement!
Wow I've never seen anyone have the reaction to this movie that Nikki did. We all know moms are awesome, but Nikki's "mom" reaction was very profound and moving. Great job, guys! :)
Watching this again just gave me an idea/insight that I had never thought of before: By going to the water planet and Brandt making the decisions she did and subsequently costing them decades, they may have saved everyone back on earth. If they hadn't used up all that extra time, then when Cooper enters the 5th dimension Murph would still be a kid. The decades that passed allowed her to grow up and get to the point where she could understand and interpret the quantum data.
Except the 5th dimension has all of unbound time and space available. It would allowed Cooper to access any point in time of the room. Cooper attempted to communicate with Murphy when she was a child, with himself, and ultimately with adult Murphy and was able to do so because all of that was at his reach, thus Murphy getting older during the lost years is irrelevant.
@@enrrique1374i think hes poiting to the fact that the whole water planet debacle used up so much fuel that they had to do the black hole manoeuvre that landed him in the 5th dimension. If they had not waist all that fuel, they would have had enough to visit both planets without going near the black hole and he would not have had to sacrefise himself into the blackhole for Brand to be able to escape the black hole's pull.
Hans Zimmer writes his very best movie scores when the story’s focus is on close family relationships. Here it’s father and daughter, in Gladiator it is a father trying to get back to his family. The Lion King was father and son. Prince of Egypt was the story of two brothers. He has a way of reining in the very epic to remind us of the very intimate human side of the story. Hans Zimmer is the GOAT.
My heart ache when Murph said “no parents should have to watched their own kids die” Honestly Murp’s last monologue is PERFECT. Always cries to this scene, really beautiful
“Is this what death is like” that is the exact thought I had and it kinda gave me comfort because maybe that’s how my loved ones are trying to communicate with me
I didn't realize that you two had not seen this. Christopher Nolan always seems to deliver. With this, especially. I've seen this multiple times, but it still makes me cry. The dialogue, the cinematography, the music. Gold. Also the science is pretty accurate (until crossing the 'event horizon'). Beautiful, beautiful movie!
When Murph says "I knew youd come back. Cause my dad promised me." Always makes me want to cry like a baby haha. I wish so badly I saw this in theatres! Great reaction as always!
How can anyone not love Nikki! There's a whole segment in the "Making of..." videos on the music and the organist. Very much worth watching. Yes, another Christopher Nolan masterpiece.
I never thought any movie could come even close to Shawshank redemption being the best movie ever made but this movie after I saw it, went right next to Shawshank. Absolutely incredible. This movie is so much alike Shawshank, it's crazy.... Acting a notch above top notch just like Shawshank Story ...incredible just like Shawshank No wasteful character in the whole movie. All characters uplift the movie even more just like Shawshank. And then how can you not mention THE GOD DARN MUSIC SCORE. Just like Shawshank, if not even better.
French here Watch this movie 1 year after my mother die . When cooper see Murphy in the hospital ….. I have cry so much . Interstellar is on my top 3 movie . Thank you for your reaction video . You are a great couple . You are definitely make be together. Be happy .
You guys popped in my home page. Loved it when Nikki said "we need an Amos" and I was like... Was that a The Expanse reference? Cause not a lot of people watch that show! Then I saw you guys are fans lol! So nice! Thanks RUclips!
Christopher Nolan's Filmmaking and Hans Zimmer Score is always such a treat to behold not to mention the acting Mathew McConaughey's acting also is fantastic going From Dazed and Confused to this is just terrific to watch i don't care how Over Hyped this movie gets called or being called a Bandwagoner this movie is a Masterpiece in my mind sorry for the little rant just my thoughts great reaction as always.
The movie takes place in 2067 which means John Lithgow's character is a millennial (or maybe young gen x), which makes his line about how when he was a kid there was something new coming out every day make total sense. It's also very weird for me to think about cause it means we'd be around the same age timeline wise. It feels like things are already slowing down, there used to be a fierce competition between companies to have the newest and best product but it seems like today they're all making the same thing and they all charge the same (a lot) for products that aren't that great anymore and are just copies of one another. Also the interview clips are mostly from Ken Burns documentary The Dust Bowl, which was a disaster that contributed to the Great Depression. Soil erosion thanks to overworking the land, drought, and high winds throughout the Midwest created massive dust storms that killed almost all vegetation (including basically all the crops) and suffocated a great number of animals and people. Children especially were prone to dying because their smaller lungs couldn't handle as much dust as the adults. A lot of people don't know this movie is recreating the conditions of that event
Yeah Nikki was definitely spot on with her reaction to seeing the generations that Murph was able to raise, especially after living thru Dust Bowl 2.0 and the planet not being sustainable to keep future kids alive and healthy. Like Murph said to her brother, is he going to wait for another kid to die before doing something? Thanks to Coop, Brand & team, and Murph, the future was secured. Great reaction, guys!
My favorite movie since the moment I stepped out of the theater! I was in the same boat, not alot of prior knowledge about the film except that it was by Nolan, which was enough for me. I still remember the theater reacting to the docking scene, will never get old
The ending of this movie really makes you think of your family from years down the line, dare I say, legacy. A part of you is passed down with your grandchildren and great grandchildren and so on.
I credit this movie for being the film that introduced how important a film score was to younger millenials and older gen z. You don’t really understand it when you’re younger and watching things like the lion king and prince of Egypt, or gladiator (realized I just named a bunch of Hans Zimmer projects lol), but I feel like this score was so unique and revolutionary that people were like WOW, music is SOOOOO important in a film.
I honest to goodness believe that Hans Zimmer is the greatest composer of our time. He has never not made something absolutely incredible, then blows his last piece out of the water the next time over and over again. Interstellar is his greatest work IMO
Millennials are defined as those born between 1980 and 1995. Therefore I think people who are 44+ have already experienced a good film score. I suspect you may have your generations reference slightly mixed up.
@@Kurlach ehhh, when I said millenials and then OLDER gen z, I think it was implied I meant younger millenials. But I’ll edit the comment anyway Also, the movie came out in 2014. So someone born in 1980 would have been 34
I was appreciating scores/musics since I was a little kid - not being able to do that means you're kinda dumbo/have surface level mentality. Sadly the majority of newer generations are dumb & have triggerhappy zoomer fried brains. I dread the times (like in 20-30 years) that the current artists (eg: film makers), they being the students of the original maestros, are old af and we have zoomers with fried brains and 10 secs attention span trying to make movies. We will get no masterpieces like the Godfather, Star Wars, Interstellar etc. Maybe AI will stand up to the task.
The insane thing is that if you pay attention to Coopers' message in the beginning, he says that he is settling in for a long nap and in the end Murph says the same thing so that means she watched his message in the beginning so she did still care.
In ten years nothing like this has not come out. Still best space movie. I watched this in theatre 2014 and basically three hours went by wo blinking my eyes. As a father to a daughter this one still hits hard. Brb, have to go and give my daughter a hug.
I always get a little laugh when Nikki cries, (in a fun way it was mostly to the GOT reactions) with that being said this was one of the rare movies that got tears out of me when I first saw it. Nikki forced me to have an existential crisis, I’m almost 30 with no kids so the surrounded by grandkids thing scared the hell out of me. I too was amazed her brain going there but when she broke down it was so smart like wow
God almighty what’s this fascination with having children everyone is having? What a weird reaction. Look around - there’s enough people! Wanting to have children just so there’s someone around when you die is the most selfish thing I’ve ever heard.
My wife and I have talked about kids, but the cons list is too long. Specifically cost, time, energy and no kind of support system that some of our siblings are able to take advantage of because we don't live close to either of our parents.
@@Kurlach Your mindset is pervasive in westernised nations to the point South korea is facing population collapse by 2100 with other nations to follow! Congrats, you're a biological dead-end but don't try convincing others to do so. Your existence is the culmination of all the hardship that your ancestors had to endure to survive and you just want to squander it and party large, pretty dang selfish to me IMO
I wish you guys could have experienced this in IMAX. The docking sequence was one of the most cinematic memories of my life. The air was literally sucked out of the room from the tension, the scale and the amazing score!
OMG!! Wouldn't the theater owners have risked massive lawsuits leaving it possible to have the air literally sucked out of the room? I'm all for having a helluva night out at the movies, but that seems pretty extreme.
I remember my first time watching this movie and it really made me and if you ask people around me… i don’t cry much…even at a funeral, but this movie is golden which is why i got it on DVD in 4K
I found this movie so emotionally exhausting and visually overwhelming, I'm positively traumatised by the over-stimulation. Like, I'm unable to watch it through again - it hits too hard.
26:13 when he says "hang on" like that, for some reason that's my favorite line in the movie... He acts it so well, it almost comes out as exasperated and quiet despite he's probably yelling it - idk it gives me goose bumps
I was a teen who snuck in to see Interstellar when it came out, knowing absolutely nothing about it but hoping to just hang out with friends and boy was it the best idea we ever had.
I will never be able to forget the moment I saw that docking scene in IMAX theater with 300 people holding breaths and holding the seats so thight I am sure all of us got hurt in that 3 mnts… Fun fact: In theather they gave the break at the scene they trapped in the water planet. In the scene they stay there nearly an hour. But you go for a break for 10 mnts and when ypu return you feel like one hour passed already. They did that to mess with the feeling of time to the audience. Brilliant
42:45 Anyone ever been on that amusement park ride that looks like a spaceship, but it spins so fast the G force keeps people against the padded walls? Next time i do that ride i'm listening to that music lol
I love how in so many of these movies, one crew member always has to explain to all the other crew members how a wormhole works by sticking a pen through a paper as if any of them seriously got to THAT point in their career without ever hearing about it before.
I'm so glad that steven touched on how amazing and complex the music score is makes me respect y'all more. that's Hanz Zimmer and he is a legend. if anyone in Hollywood needs a score that tells a story they hire him .
That was an INTERESTING turn that Nikki's mind went to at the end, but totally understandable! You could always be like my Korean grandma, she's constantly adopting kids off the street and taking care of random people in her neighborhood, you could just be the community mom! Or just make sure your kids have TONS of grandkids, lol. Steven's life flashed before his eyes, one day he's going to come home and Nikki adopted triplets.
I appreciate you both. Great reactions especially Nikki (hope you feel better soon). One point in the reaction I must point out was when Nikki said "Wow" at 52:47. She said it with such wonder, awe, and subtleness, which matched much of the film's silence and low sound tones. Great job.
We’ve talked about it a lot. We avoided reacting to it because of how long it is. A 3 hour movie is a challenge for our schedule. But we decided to add it for the new year and we are very happy we watched it
One of my favorite movies ever, and absolutely one of my favorite videos by you guys as well! What a profoundly emotional reaction Nikki had at the end. I knew the storylines of family would move you two as well but it was beautiful to see you guys enjoy it as much as you did!
The Tesseract! Christopher Nolan had his crew build a huge tesseract of Murphy's bedroom & bookcase. Matthew McConaughey (Joe Cooper) was hanging from a cable while navigating the Tesseract. Brilliant film making!
As a parent, I get it.... A modern science fiction masterpiece, and gold standard for the genre. Christopher Nolan and Hans Zimmer...in the footsteps of the likes of Steven Spielberg and John Williams, and other legendary director and composer teams. Great reaction to an amazing film.
Thank you for such an honest and open reaction to this movie! To have a science fiction movie based around a central theme of love is quite simply beautiful. Nikki your reaction was incredibly wholesome especially during the end and I'll be honest I hadn't really thought about that side of it until watching your reaction. To celebrate your life with your family there is what everyone wants, all the love in one room. ❤
I am so glad that you guys finally watched this movie. Interstellar is one of my favorite Sci-Fi movies of all time and I mean everything about this movie was great. The graphics were incredible and out of this world, giving you the impression that you are living in space and the plot was fantastic, and it was impossible to estimate how much creativity went into it. The acting, the visuals, and the soundtrack are the things that make this movie a masterpiece.
The science is pretty much spot on, even the visuals, there are a few books that came out on it, I have one called "The Science of Interstellar" . They had all kinds of scientists making sure they got it right!
this was my first live watch along and i really enjoyed it. i loved Nikki's response to seeing Murphy with all her family at the end. something i initially glossed over but Nikki immediately saw right through to the richness of life in that room. Well Done Nikki and Steve 🙌
Ive seen this movie so many times now but ill never forget the first time!! Ive been watching react videos to this movie now because watching others watch it for their first time gives me a little bit of that same excitement 😁
One of the most powerful things about this movie is that it wields our humanity in such a desperate, passionate way. Our ingenuity, our stubbornness, our doubt, our faith, our frustration, bitterness... yet, our love, our cunning, our boldness, our fear, our strength, and so, so much more... Every. Single. Time. that I see this film (and share in the first-time experience of others watching this film, like right now) I'm brought to quietly weep through so many different phases of this movie. Every character pushing back against the rules, clinging to a private, motivating seed in each of their hearts - It's so human to make the choices that each character felt they had to make in any given moment, any given point in time, any point in their life. The losing, the winning, the prices paid, the sacrifices made, the damages done, the instincts for survival, even against rationality. Perhaps especially given the context of these profoundly intelligent scientists attempting to spearhead an organized, yet profoundly desperate "second chance" for the greater species - attempting to plant the seeds for fruit and food in a future that they knowingly would never pluck and savor. And others still bound by their hearts to follow, even against their objective understanding of what needed to be done instead, trying to find a way to follow both at the same time.. Augh. It's all so gripping, and moving, and it makes absolute complete sense why Nikki was so stricken by that scene in the hospital, while they're hurtling through space on a generational station trying to feel like normal people, cherishing the relics of where they came from, as they blaze the greatest trail into the unknown in the history - the entire story - of humanity. Geez. Edit: Also, on the note of the tremendous music/score of this film - Challenge: There are several videos here on YT of people playing songs from Interstellar on piano in public. Try not to get choked up hearing this one instrument bring back every feeling you felt watching this film. IMPOSSIBLE! 😂😍😭
Wow, this is such an incredible comment! You've managed to both succinctly encapsulate the human condition & provide my favorite analysis of the film; bravo!
You guys did #1 reaction for me for #1 of my favourite movies. Amazing reaction. It was a crime that Hans Zimmer did not get awards from this masterpiece soundtrack.
I've been watching ya'll since GOT days and this is my first time hearing mention of you being parents. Every time I watch I can't help but think "wow...these two would be the greatest aunts & uncles ever." You have huge hearts that I can feel through the screen and enough tolerance for mischief that I know little N&S will be wonderful human. Cheers

Interatellar AND Peaky Blinders 🥵
fell asleep on you guys during the watchalong the other night. so I had to drop in and see the ending and your reactions. one thing people don't pick up on with the whole "love transcends time and space" is that love allowed him and Brand to handshake , so we know that he finds her and they fall in love /were already having feelings for each other when that happened.
Don't know if anyones mentioned, but when on the water planet, I believe for every tick in the music, a day is passing on Earth
Just in time!!!!! Love your reactions ❤ from Portugal!
Yeeeeess The Peaky F****ing Blinders !!!
Nikki's train of thought at the end is the most genuine and profound reaction I've ever seen to Interstellar.
yeah, i don’t have any kids myself and that gave me a mini existential crisis. i say that with all the love in the world. they’re top tier reactors.
@@dbfro1 Agreed, really it comes across as super genuine and real. It's not played up for the clicks, it is what it really is. I love that about them.
This channel is one of my absolute favorites for that reason!!
Agreed.
Literally just came down to write this. Feeling sad that she didn't have more kids, so she could be surrounded by a huge family full of love. Simply lovely, what a beautiful soul. Hope to find someone like that one day. Very lucky guy
The end with Murph is so powerful that it makes you forget about his son who’s obviously already dead.
His children and grandchildren could have very well be in the room with Murph at the end.
yeah, cooper leaved his son and never saw him again. It's sad that nobody think about him at the end
@@TobioRLCooper LEFT his son.*
@@Fatasha776 sry not english AND you understood what i said
My theory is he stayed to die with his kid that died on earth.
"You told them I liked farming?" That singular line is incredibly apt to the scenario. The little nudge from a daughter to a father that let everyone know she had forgiven him.
Never considered why it made me feel so at ease. Now I know why
Oh my god, someone finally put it into words! I can’t believe that aspect of it didn’t click for me before!
Very well said.
55:25…… wife of the year! Luckiest man alive is discovered. 4mil jelly’s born!
I’ve seen this comment on other channels comment section too lol
As a girl-dad, the "because my daddy promised" kills me every time. My favorite thing about this movie is my daughter watching it with me hugging me the entire time.
I didn't say it LITERALLY killed me... YOU used that word @@OriginalPuro
Same
@@OriginalPuro no way you took that seriously 😂
Amen brother...in the same boat
It gets me too. I'm my daughters Daddy and I hold that job so dear to my heart. I never want to let them down or have them disappointed in me.
The first time I watched this movie:
My parents wanted to watch San Andreas and I chose Interstellar instead. No one was in the movie theater and I sat all the all the way in the back.
The music. The emotion. The docking scene. I was in tears. I’ll never forget the feeling I had watching. Just beautiful. One of my favorite movies.
Omg, just reading your comment watching this and in the background on my tv is San Andreas playing on Sky TV. How freaky is that!!
@@TheLondonForever00 SO weird LOL
I watched this movie with my cousin in the movie theater, and it was just the two of us last movie playing that night. He fell asleep, lol, but I was blown away with how great this movie is. I'll always remember that night.
@@write217 i wish i saw it on imax, ill stay on the lookout for it🙏
I watched San Andres instead too, just watched this movie yesterday and I regret not seeing it in theater’s 😩
One of the few movies that makes me cry like a baby! This is a masterpiece.
First saw it before I had kids and no tears. Then I had two daughters and the film hits so differently.
Also, the score for this movie is incredible.
@@John_Locke_108 hell I don't have kids and this still gets me.
Me too. This and Empire of the Sun.
@@zato_ecchi Empire of the Sun is such an amazing film and it's a shame that nobody does reactions to it.
One of the greatest films ever made, with the absolute best soundtrack of all time. Christopher Nolan is an absolute genius. The journey this film takes you on is ridiculous. In Nolan's own words, "don't try to understand it, just feel it." The visuals, the music, the hard-hitting dialogue, the gut-wrenching emotional scenes and the plot twists. Man, what a film.
Also, the fact that the science in this film is 100% accurate and grounded in scientific theory is just beyond me. They used theory to render a model of what a black hole would look like, and when the first ever image of a black hole was taken in 2019, it was exactly what Interstellar showed 5 years before.
Those words from Nolan are perfect because honestly not sure I’ll ever understand the “how” but that doesn’t take anything away from this movie.
@seraeggobutterworth5247
Humans aren't used to thinking in those terms. From your logic, they should have realized the tide issue. But we aren't used to thinking in those terms.
@@JeshuaSquirrel Nonsense. That was sloppy writing and we both know it. The signal from the water mountain planet would have been coming in at an extremely slow rate, hundreds of not thousands of times slower than the other beacons that were also transmitting, clearly telling them that it was failed mission. Same with the habitability of the place, how would humanity have moved there when the time dilation was so vast that a single dropship flight would have aged the "normal time" people well outside the time dilation bubble possibly more than a lifetime's worth?
Except for what happens in the black hole, that will remain a mystery for a while
@seraeggobutterworth5247 Exactly! We all know the gravity of the Moon is what causes the tide on Earth. WTF would a Black Holes gravity do to water on a planet close to it! There is no way they didn't know that while knowing exactly how long the time difference would be..
56:42 Nikki questioning herself like that was so pure and beautiful. Your two children are blessed with parents like you and I'm certain you make a wonderful family
So often do I wonder if my wife and I should have had more than two. Love those two with everything I am, but maybe they should have been a posse, a wake spreading out into the world to do more good and love.
@@gavinkistner772 Unfortunately, more kids doesn't mean they'll be close or do good lol
Fun fact, on Millers Planet you can hear a ticking in the background. These ticks happen every 1.25 seconds, which represents a full day passing on earth
It's just the music. Relax lol it would be MUCH faster
@@briancarpenter6413 No it's not just the music, this was specifically added as subtle background detail. I'm not sure about the interval of Earth time for each tick, but it was absolutely an intended effect.
@@AngelArm1110 It’s a rough estimate, but it comes to around a day per 1.25 seconds. They are stuck on the planet for about two hours (there is a time skip in in the film) which equals to about 24 years
@@ScenicRecoil guy on the craft did 5 years...i guess because he was closer..
@@briancarpenter6413 ...no it wouldn't, they actually did the math they weren't just guessing lol
Another thing is that they had Kip Thorne theoretical physicist who came up with the concept of the movie. They were able to use Hollywood's budget to render a black hole using real mathematics, which then had scientific papers written about it. Just amazing. It's so awesome to see science in the main stream media and have it be so phenomenal.
I remeber an intervieuw when they put all the theoratical math into the rendering and produced the image of a black hole thats used in the movie. The folks at Hollywood did not understand the whole light on the horizon and the light from the back curved over it. Then they showed it to the science guy and his reacction was: 'O yeah ofcourse that makes sense'. And then years later when the first better picctures of a known blackhole came trough, it was confirmed.
@@ronniebots9225wrong. Why don't you let the people that actually know what they're talking about explain it and stop spreading misinformation
@@GeorgeTropicana It's not wrong... The strong gravity from the black hole warps space around it. Light is apart of that space. So yes gravity does affect the path of light. This is supported by Einstein's general theory of relativity. Why don’t you let the people who know what they’re talking about correct people instead.
@@perssontm1628 no shit, that's not what's incorrect you imbeciIe
@@GeorgeTropicanaWhich part are they wrong about?
"Because my dad promised me."
Instant tears every time.
Also, no matter when I see it or how many time I have seen it already, the "years of messages" scene gets me every damn time, especially if you remember that Coop lost a grandson in a matter of seconds.
Such a emotional movie
That scene, to the day, gives me goosebumps.
also when asked how he knew she still had the watch "because I gave it to her"
You stole my standard Interstellar reaction comment just about verbatim. Gosh darn, you got there first.
Same here - you could just feel how Cooper was hurting in that moment.
The docking scene is easily in my top 5 IMAX scenes of all time, the music, the intensity, the visuals.. it’s an incredible moment that you just get lost in.
On RUclips, find Anna Lapwood performing 'No Time for Caution' on the organ at the Albert Hall in London. It'll make you wish you would have been there.
This is a long movie…. I went back twice to watch it a total of 3 times in iMax - what an experience
Docking scene is worthy of awards alone
@@Crackling-Comet not really, hardly anything happens feels so short
in the theater i almost fell out of my seat from trying to counteract the spin. wasn't even IMAX
As a mom of 2, I totally understand where Nikki was coming from at the end. I was crying right along with her 😢
Heck, I don't having any children and it made me cry.
I'm gay but same
@@johnw8578 Yea you don't have to be a parent, you just have to be human.
@@Loonaurtheworld I think being gay doesn't mean someone can't have children. There are other factors, of course, but if they want to, I believe it's possible. By the way, I'm not gay, but I am queer.
Yes exactly. The scenes of the parent child relationship hits the strongest, especially for parents, in the intercom scenes after 23 years apart, and of course the ending.
and whoever else that understood the love connection, whether you are single or have children or not.
People who do not yet understand that, has not much impact from those scenes and that's ok. They usually have no children.
A couple fun facts:
1. Kip Thorne was the physicist they consulted on this film for all the visuals. He said he would not work on the film if they tried to dramatize the visuals (which they didn’t). The imagery of the black hole is as close of a representation of what it would really look like based on current calculations.
2. During the docking scene after Mann is unalived, the reason Cooper didn’t pass out is because he kept his head against the spin to decrease the G force on his body. Brand went with the spin which is why she passed out so quick. Cooper’s piloting experience is what saved them.
Ooh so close. Coop was going into the direction of the spin and Brann whent against it.
They where spinning clockwise. So left side around. Thats why Coop was leaning to the left so Deoxygenated blood could leave his brain by gravitational pull and he needed to push Oxygenated blood back up into his brain by using piloting techniques.
Brann on the other hand gave in to the pull on her body to the right. That made hear head the furtherst past of her body and all the blood would pool in her head without any means to work against gravity to go back into the body and to the heart. So no Oxygenated blood could move trough the brain anymore.
So you are absolutely right, but got the firections mixed up :)
@@ronniebots9225 it was centrifugal force so they were both being pushed to the outside of the ship, that's how they get gravity because they're walking around it lengthwise. because they were at the direct center point of the spin they both were being pushed in the opposite direction.
So I don't think it's a slip up.
This isn't TikTok. You can write "killed".
yea and the time travel doesn't cause the grandfather paradox. The worm hole and surviving the black hole are all mathematically possible (gravastar--gravitational vacuum star and white hole/time-reversed black hole). So the future beings, to make sure they and all of humanity would exist, they ensured that the black hole tesseract and the worm hole worked, put in the right place in the past, and didn't collapse. They were supposed to put these galactic object in the right place back in the past to make sure the humans in the movie did exactly what was going to happen. Perhaps Brand (Anne Hathaway's character) would have known that the future people would make time-reversing black holes and that Cooper would come back.
@@ronniebots9225 thank you for correcting it! I dropped the ball haha
My grandpa died while having his 8 kids, 29 grandkids, and 19 great grandchildren around him ( + some of his brothers and nephews, plenty of people from his church and his neighbors). The moment was a testament of having lived his life right, maintaining a relationship with his kids + theirs. So rare for someone to leave this life like that but I want to finish life like that too. Completely surrounded by love, without too may regrets.
You're correct - *_Interstellar_* is a masterpiece. I never understood how, at the time, a lot of people hated on the movie because it didn't spoon-feed all the information. One of the things I *LOVE* about watching you guys' reactions is even if you don't grasp all the little nuances, you still invest yourself into the film/series you're watching. This is perhaps my favorite reaction you've done so far. Great job!
It’s funny you say that, because I specifically remember people hating on it for dumbing down information. Like, why would they need to explain the wormhole or relativity to a Coop, who should know these things already. There are moments like this just for the audience, and I think they were done very well. It just goes to show people will complain about anything.
@@c.a.honeycutt5046 You are so right.
IDK but at the time I went to see it, so many people were saying that they didn't get it and why did all of Nolan's films "make you work for it" and there was this heavy comparison being made to *_Inception_* . Now I'll be the first to admit that I enjoy mindless, spoon-fed movies also, but I love movies that make you *FEEL* something and *_Interstellar_* does that in droves.
Ok, I don’t hate Interstellar, there’s a lot of great things about it, but the story kinda goes off the rails and while the finale is emotional, it made me go “wha” not because I didn’t know what was going on, but because it was nonsensical BS.
@@teutonicknight23 Fair point. And I get that criticism. But Chris's whole point was that no one knows what *ACTUALLY* goes on inside of a blackhole. Not even scientists. Neil DeGrasse even said Chris's take was highly plausible considering no human alive or dead has ever been in or entered the 4th dimension. The finale was about possibility. Is it possible? Coop entered the 4th dimension and then Nolan used the art of the unknown to fuel his plot. That's not nonsensical BS, that is great storytelling101.
There are still so many things in this universe that are unexplainable and assuming that it can all be explained by today's scientific knowledge and technology is foolhardy IMHO. This is one of the many reasons I don't particularly like hard-science fiction (I prefer fantastical Sci-Fi and Space Opera's). Hard-SF is telling a story far-fetched into the future but using today's science and tech to fuel the story. That makes absolutely no sense to me. The arrogance of some to think that "we know all we're ever going to know" is the real nonsensical BS. Go back to the 1960's and explain (I'm sorry - *TRY* to explain) smart phones to the so-called... "Scientific Community" of that time.
a lot of people couldn't wrap their brains around it. It requires kind of a basic level of knowledge of physics to fully grasp it. Relativity and especially quantum mechanics is a total and complete mindfuck, even the dimensional stuff, I can't remember if it's in string theory or something else, but due to the curvature of space, the math shows something like 11 dimensions are possible, and to explain that to someone is really hard.
Because it's not dimensions like they show in fantasy but like spatial dimensions, think x-y-z but add 8 more integers there.
Go look at a 3d model of a 4D or 5D image and it will completely melt your brain trying to figure it out, because we just aren't built to really comprehend anything other than 3 dimensions
2:41 - Instead of renting/leasing a property to shoot the farm scenes, Nolan literally bought a farm, grew corn on it, shot those scenes for the movie, then sold the farm for a profit. Fucking legend.
TBF, with all the money he's gotten from hsi films, he could probably buy 100 of those farms, cultivate it and sell it at a profit with no tangible detriment to his own finances
@@kenjinpiniteu I don't know why that's where you went with it, the impressive part is that he went the extra mile and actually grew the corn himself, which is far more effort than just renting one that already exists. Not how much money it costs. I also doubt he's as rich as you think he is.
@@VColossalV raised by a bloodline of farmers here, sure not corn farmers (mostly rice, banana and pineapple but that’s what you get here in the tropics) but most farming principles are the same, save there in the US your farmers have a lot more equipment available to work with. Also highly doubting Nolan himself planted those one by one, not even my family did and we definitely had less of a budget than he did.
@@kenjinpiniteu Of course he didn't literally plant each, one by one. Point is it would have been much easier to just buy it, but he cared that much about his vision and creating it how he wanted that he made sure the farm was grown from scratch, and didn't waste it afterwards. I'm sure it still stands today.
Also Nolan isn't using his own money for the movie, of course, the budget is given by the studio.
@@VColossalV How funny would it be if he used studio budget to buy the farm land but then sold it for profit and kept said profit hahaha, I'm sure that's not what happened, but I'm gonna make that the narrative in my head lmao
I knew Nikki was gonna lose it at the end. Can't believe it took this long for them to watch it. And didn't disappoint. 56:21 "That was so good" with that exhausted tone sums it up perfectly. Amazing reaction to one of the best films of all time.
This movie was the definition of mind blowing. I’ve seen it about 6 or 7 times and it blows me away every time. Visually, musically, writing, directing, emotions… just crazy
Nikki is such a sweet and sensitive person, her reactions bring me to tears. Hans Zimmer and Christopher Nolan genuinely created a masterpiece with Interstellar.
Amen
The ticking clock sound on the water planet occurs every 1.25 seconds, representing 1 day on Earth.
that's just insane 🤯🤯🤯
Thats Hans Zimmer for yah. ;)
You definitely learn something new everyday 💯now when I watch it with others I can drop this knowledge 💯
Hanz Zimmer music gives me chills every time
Amazing soundtrack
Man that scene after they return from that water planet & Mathews watching videos his kids sent him after their all grown up hits hard!
Yeah, that’s was a brutal realization of what they’re doing. So well done though.
Joe Cooper watching his children's lives pass before him was a profound scene.
The first thing that struck me there was that Romilly spent 23 YEARS alone up there. 23 damn years. Any other person would've blown their brains out in that time. Absolute hero.
@@HighLordBlazeReborn... Romilly did say that he went into cryo-sleep a few times, but still, he had a very tough time. He could talk to CASE, which was better than nothing!
As a father of a smart and sassy soon-to-be 10-year-old girl, I sympathize with this. Gut punch isn't even an accurate term, I don't think.
Matthew's performance during the message listeing scene was worth an oscar. He's such a talented actor, he was able to show an insane amount of feelings.
I read that he didnt even know the messages, thus his emotional reaction was real, not acted.
I break down everytime when she says "BECAUSE MY DAD PROMISED ME"
I remember seeing this with my dad when it first came out and he’s not someone who likes to go to the movies with how expensive it is but once we finished the movie he came out of the theater and he goes. “I want to see that again in theaters.” I was so shocked now it’s such a special movie between us both that we love so much.
I love how Steven’s arm is Nikki’s emotional support animal 😂
The score of this film is so phenomenal. It’s one of my favorites out of any film I’ve ever seen.
Literally one of my favorite movies of all time! Can you believe none of Christopher Nolan’s movies have won best picture at the Oscar’s?!?! Hope that changes this year!
The oscars is just a popularity contest for the hollywood clique though, Nolan doesn't belong to that club, he does his own thing, doesn't use his movies to push a political point of any kind, he just tells incredible stories because he knows that that's his craft, he's not a director or a writer, he's a storyteller and keeps that perfectly central to everything he does.
He finally won one for Oppenheimer , another absolute masterpiece
I'm so glad I got to see this in theaters, it was a TRIP. It's an amazing story and agree that it holds up ten years later.
Im jealous
The Organ! Hans Zimmer used a 1926 four-manual Harrison & Harrison organ (in London's Temple Church) as the primary instrument for the score. Zimmer requested that organist Roger Sayer, the music director of Temple Church, play the organ.
The physical appearance of the organ reminded Zimmer of spaceship afterburners, while the airiness of its sound reminds us that every breath is precious for an astronaut.
I never get tired of watching people seeing this for the first time. It's still such an intense masterpiece, and I love all the varying perspectives you share and feel.
About every 3 days I'm refreshing the browser for "Nolan's news*.
I'm just so curious what's his next project that will be such a big part in my heart and life, like any of his previous movies.
Everything around and about Nolan is ❤🎉
Nikki, You made me cry so hard with your feelings on how many children you could have had and being afraid of being older and alone.. I am 40 and childless and happy but I felt you very much in that , thank you for sharing your feelings so openly with us.. you help me not be so alone :)
I also think that this is one of the most wonderful reactions to this movie on YT.
I was very surprised that Nikki is able to be so emotionally open in front of the camera.
I wish you very good friends and a wonderful life with beautiful movies ahead :)
One crazy fact about this movie is they took the consultation with scientists very seriously and talked to them extensively about what a black hole would look like if you were near one. It was from those discussions that they built the visual for Gargantua. Later, like 7 years after the movie came out, scientists got an image captured of a black hole M87 and it looked pretty close to the visual from the movie (obviously a lot blurrier)
Yes !
This is probably one of my favorite movies of all time, Nolan really knows how to make a movie
My wife and I are not capable of having kids, but the scene where Dr Mann asks "Do you see your children?" broke us. This is my favorite movie to date, and I have seen it over 30 times now, and still play the soundtrack from time to time.
Man, thanks for sharing that and being vulnerable. Blessings to you both.
It's the 10-year anniversary this year and they're bringing it back to theaters in certain places!
@@fxzero666woah really?!
@@fxzero666 Jeez has it been 10 years already?? Lol 😩 I definitely will see this again if it's available in IMAX theaters.
Fun fact, Dr. Mann's name is Hugh Mann (human) as he represents the base human, we all hate him because he really would be most of us, someone who didnt wanna die alone and had a button close by he could press to save himself, the selfish part of humanity in one character, truely a messed up and beautiful representation of "Hugh Mannity" my favorite movie of all time i love it, and it truely fully convinced me to go into my physics degree which im almost finished with :) loved the reaction and so glad you two enjoyed!
Very real reaction, and Nikki’s reaction at the end did make me think too. We all want to leave a legacy as we face our mortality. Being surrounded by your family as you die is the best legacy, as opposed to being alone as you face your inevitable death .
How we live is more important than what we leave behind. The purpose of life isn’t to simply continue and continue for no reason. Aside from the fact that humans can’t seem to control their population growth and therefore have dwindling resources.
Some people may disagree. I understand your point of view. I was quite nihlistic at one stage, and thought never wanting kids was fine. And it totally is if that's your choice. I thought about how much I love history, and our civilisation and species. We are meant to leave our DNA on to continue our legacy and the struggles our ancestors went through to survive to bring you into the world. I want my great, great grandchildren to hopefully go out and experience life and maybe even change the world for the better. @@Kurlach
Well said. I agree.
@@Kurlach True, but humans biggest fear is to not matter, to be forgotten. Creating a legacy is the closest we come to not die, which is also one of humans biggest fears. It's in our biology to care about our life, to survive.
This movie is one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time. The music composed by legendary Hans Zimmer is simply a masterpiece. The music makes you feel every emotion that goes hand in hand with every scene. The ups and downs just puts you on an emotional rollercoaster. Kudos to those involved with the creation of this movie and script. It blows my mind how creative some people are. I absolutely love Matthew's acting in all the movies he has been in. He really is a very talented actor. Great genuine reaction by you two. Thanks for sharing. ❤
The music is epic!!
Another great reaction from you two. Excellent vulnerability you two showed. Watching this movie in IMAX on opening night is an experience I will take with me forever. No other film has ever matched it and I have seen dozens of hit movies in IMAX. This movie is pure art.
Seeing this movie on the big screen sure sounds like an incredible experience. Appreciate the comment!!
I'm simple. I see Nikki crying in thumbnail, I know it's about to be an amazing reaction. ❤
I know when I see a thumbnail like that I know to grab tissues and curl up under my blanket and cry along.
Absolutely. I also know it means to have tissues ready, because she and I cry at the same things.
This is definitely up there for one of the greatest films ever made. Story wise. Cinematically. This film is just such piece of art. Not to mention imo this film has one the best scores of all time.
Rendering each frame in the black hole scene took nearly 100 hours. It is a masterpiece, one of my favorite movies. I'm glad you guys liked it!
Modern age masterpiece!
I showed it to my mother and she fell asleep during the scene where Matthew breaks down crying..
Best scene in the entire movie and I will never forgive her for that.
I went by myself to the theater to watch this movie and as soon as I walkwd out I posted on facebook "This is not only the best movie I've ever seen, but I also don't see how anyone can make a better movie than this!" Ten years later I still stand by that statement!
Wow I've never seen anyone have the reaction to this movie that Nikki did. We all know moms are awesome, but Nikki's "mom" reaction was very profound and moving. Great job, guys! :)
Watching this again just gave me an idea/insight that I had never thought of before:
By going to the water planet and Brandt making the decisions she did and subsequently costing them decades, they may have saved everyone back on earth.
If they hadn't used up all that extra time, then when Cooper enters the 5th dimension Murph would still be a kid. The decades that passed allowed her to grow up and get to the point where she could understand and interpret the quantum data.
Except the 5th dimension has all of unbound time and space available. It would allowed Cooper to access any point in time of the room. Cooper attempted to communicate with Murphy when she was a child, with himself, and ultimately with adult Murphy and was able to do so because all of that was at his reach, thus Murphy getting older during the lost years is irrelevant.
@@enrrique1374i think hes poiting to the fact that the whole water planet debacle used up so much fuel that they had to do the black hole manoeuvre that landed him in the 5th dimension. If they had not waist all that fuel, they would have had enough to visit both planets without going near the black hole and he would not have had to sacrefise himself into the blackhole for Brand to be able to escape the black hole's pull.
@@ronniebots9225 yeah but then Cooper decided not to go to Edmunds planet so they both made bad choices ultimately leading to the right one.
Hans Zimmer writes his very best movie scores when the story’s focus is on close family relationships.
Here it’s father and daughter, in Gladiator it is a father trying to get back to his family. The Lion King was father and son. Prince of Egypt was the story of two brothers.
He has a way of reining in the very epic to remind us of the very intimate human side of the story. Hans Zimmer is the GOAT.
wow, I didnt know he wrote music for Prince of Egypt!...
My heart ache when Murph said “no parents should have to watched their own kids die”
Honestly Murp’s last monologue is PERFECT.
Always cries to this scene, really beautiful
“Is this what death is like” that is the exact thought I had and it kinda gave me comfort because maybe that’s how my loved ones are trying to communicate with me
I didn't realize that you two had not seen this. Christopher Nolan always seems to deliver. With this, especially. I've seen this multiple times, but it still makes me cry. The dialogue, the cinematography, the music. Gold. Also the science is pretty accurate (until crossing the 'event horizon'). Beautiful, beautiful movie!
When Murph says "I knew youd come back. Cause my dad promised me." Always makes me want to cry like a baby haha. I wish so badly I saw this in theatres! Great reaction as always!
How can anyone not love Nikki!
There's a whole segment in the "Making of..." videos on the music and the organist. Very much worth watching. Yes, another Christopher Nolan masterpiece.
I never thought any movie could come even close to Shawshank redemption being the best movie ever made but this movie after I saw it, went right next to Shawshank. Absolutely incredible.
This movie is so much alike Shawshank, it's crazy....
Acting a notch above top notch just like Shawshank
Story ...incredible just like Shawshank
No wasteful character in the whole movie. All characters uplift the movie even more just like Shawshank.
And then how can you not mention
THE GOD DARN MUSIC SCORE. Just like Shawshank, if not even better.
French here
Watch this movie 1 year after my mother die .
When cooper see Murphy in the hospital …..
I have cry so much .
Interstellar is on my top 3 movie .
Thank you for your reaction video .
You are a great couple .
You are definitely make be together.
Be happy .
Bonjour!
37:55-37:59 Jessica is just amazing. So much talented people in this movie. It's one of my favorites, a truly mind blowing watch.
Seriously can’t believe Nikki did not bawl her eyes out during the 23 years of messages scene. I was crying like a baby then!
You guys popped in my home page. Loved it when Nikki said "we need an Amos" and I was like... Was that a The Expanse reference? Cause not a lot of people watch that show! Then I saw you guys are fans lol! So nice! Thanks RUclips!
Yes!!!’ We LOVE Amos. Glad to have you here!!
This is why I love you guys, not just as RUclipsrs but your genuinely raw reactions as fellow humans.❤
Christopher Nolan's Filmmaking and Hans Zimmer Score is always such a treat to behold not to mention the acting Mathew McConaughey's acting also is fantastic going From Dazed and Confused to this is just terrific to watch i don't care how Over Hyped this movie gets called or being called a Bandwagoner this movie is a Masterpiece in my mind sorry for the little rant just my thoughts great reaction as always.
The movie takes place in 2067 which means John Lithgow's character is a millennial (or maybe young gen x), which makes his line about how when he was a kid there was something new coming out every day make total sense. It's also very weird for me to think about cause it means we'd be around the same age timeline wise. It feels like things are already slowing down, there used to be a fierce competition between companies to have the newest and best product but it seems like today they're all making the same thing and they all charge the same (a lot) for products that aren't that great anymore and are just copies of one another. Also the interview clips are mostly from Ken Burns documentary The Dust Bowl, which was a disaster that contributed to the Great Depression. Soil erosion thanks to overworking the land, drought, and high winds throughout the Midwest created massive dust storms that killed almost all vegetation (including basically all the crops) and suffocated a great number of animals and people. Children especially were prone to dying because their smaller lungs couldn't handle as much dust as the adults. A lot of people don't know this movie is recreating the conditions of that event
Yeah Nikki was definitely spot on with her reaction to seeing the generations that Murph was able to raise, especially after living thru Dust Bowl 2.0 and the planet not being sustainable to keep future kids alive and healthy. Like Murph said to her brother, is he going to wait for another kid to die before doing something? Thanks to Coop, Brand & team, and Murph, the future was secured. Great reaction, guys!
My favorite movie since the moment I stepped out of the theater! I was in the same boat, not alot of prior knowledge about the film except that it was by Nolan, which was enough for me. I still remember the theater reacting to the docking scene, will never get old
The ending of this movie really makes you think of your family from years down the line, dare I say, legacy. A part of you is passed down with your grandchildren and great grandchildren and so on.
I credit this movie for being the film that introduced how important a film score was to younger millenials and older gen z.
You don’t really understand it when you’re younger and watching things like the lion king and prince of Egypt, or gladiator (realized I just named a bunch of Hans Zimmer projects lol), but I feel like this score was so unique and revolutionary that people were like WOW, music is SOOOOO important in a film.
I honest to goodness believe that Hans Zimmer is the greatest composer of our time. He has never not made something absolutely incredible, then blows his last piece out of the water the next time over and over again. Interstellar is his greatest work IMO
Millennials are defined as those born between 1980 and 1995. Therefore I think people who are 44+ have already experienced a good film score. I suspect you may have your generations reference slightly mixed up.
@@Kurlach ehhh, when I said millenials and then OLDER gen z, I think it was implied I meant younger millenials. But I’ll edit the comment anyway
Also, the movie came out in 2014. So someone born in 1980 would have been 34
I was appreciating scores/musics since I was a little kid - not being able to do that means you're kinda dumbo/have surface level mentality.
Sadly the majority of newer generations are dumb & have triggerhappy zoomer fried brains. I dread the times (like in 20-30 years) that the current artists (eg: film makers), they being the students of the original maestros, are old af and we have zoomers with fried brains and 10 secs attention span trying to make movies. We will get no masterpieces like the Godfather, Star Wars, Interstellar etc.
Maybe AI will stand up to the task.
@@6kembe4orba appreciating and “understanding the importance of” are two different things. No need to be hateful or rude
Nikkie's reaction at the end was spectacular .. At the end, what matters most is family. Nothing even comes close to it. Great movie reaction guys.
When you get down to it, that's what this movie is all about... the love between a father and his family.
One of the best Sci-fi movies ever made!
Genuinely one of the greatest reaction videos I've ever seen. You are such an amazing couple and i wish you nothing but success and happiness
The insane thing is that if you pay attention to Coopers' message in the beginning, he says that he is settling in for a long nap and in the end Murph says the same thing so that means she watched his message in the beginning so she did still care.
In ten years nothing like this has not come out. Still best space movie. I watched this in theatre 2014 and basically three hours went by wo blinking my eyes. As a father to a daughter this one still hits hard. Brb, have to go and give my daughter a hug.
I always get a little laugh when Nikki cries, (in a fun way it was mostly to the GOT reactions) with that being said this was one of the rare movies that got tears out of me when I first saw it. Nikki forced me to have an existential crisis, I’m almost 30 with no kids so the surrounded by grandkids thing scared the hell out of me. I too was amazed her brain going there but when she broke down it was so smart like wow
God almighty what’s this fascination with having children everyone is having? What a weird reaction. Look around - there’s enough people! Wanting to have children just so there’s someone around when you die is the most selfish thing I’ve ever heard.
@@Kurlach r/childfree crazies spilling over into youtube
My wife and I have talked about kids, but the cons list is too long. Specifically cost, time, energy and no kind of support system that some of our siblings are able to take advantage of because we don't live close to either of our parents.
@@Kurlach Your mindset is pervasive in westernised nations to the point South korea is facing population collapse by 2100 with other nations to follow! Congrats, you're a biological dead-end but don't try convincing others to do so. Your existence is the culmination of all the hardship that your ancestors had to endure to survive and you just want to squander it and party large, pretty dang selfish to me IMO
@@Kurlachdid you even read what you just typed?
I wish you guys could have experienced this in IMAX. The docking sequence was one of the most cinematic memories of my life. The air was literally sucked out of the room from the tension, the scale and the amazing score!
OMG!! Wouldn't the theater owners have risked massive lawsuits leaving it possible to have the air literally sucked out of the room? I'm all for having a helluva night out at the movies, but that seems pretty extreme.
This was the most amazing movie to watch in IMAX. Literally came out the theatre disorientated because how immersed I was
@@torontomame look up the new additional definition of “literally” in the dictionary
I remember my first time watching this movie and it really made me and if you ask people around me… i don’t cry much…even at a funeral, but this movie is golden which is why i got it on DVD in 4K
I found this movie so emotionally exhausting and visually overwhelming, I'm positively traumatised by the over-stimulation. Like, I'm unable to watch it through again - it hits too hard.
26:13 when he says "hang on" like that, for some reason that's my favorite line in the movie... He acts it so well, it almost comes out as exasperated and quiet despite he's probably yelling it - idk it gives me goose bumps
I was a teen who snuck in to see Interstellar when it came out, knowing absolutely nothing about it but hoping to just hang out with friends and boy was it the best idea we ever had.
I will never be able to forget the moment I saw that docking scene in IMAX theater with 300 people holding breaths and holding the seats so thight I am sure all of us got hurt in that 3 mnts…
Fun fact: In theather they gave the break at the scene they trapped in the water planet. In the scene they stay there nearly an hour. But you go for a break for 10 mnts and when ypu return you feel like one hour passed already. They did that to mess with the feeling of time to the audience. Brilliant
42:45 Anyone ever been on that amusement park ride that looks like a spaceship, but it spins so fast the G force keeps people against the padded walls? Next time i do that ride i'm listening to that music lol
I love how in so many of these movies, one crew member always has to explain to all the other crew members how a wormhole works by sticking a pen through a paper as if any of them seriously got to THAT point in their career without ever hearing about it before.
I'm so glad that steven touched on how amazing and complex the music score is makes me respect y'all more. that's Hanz Zimmer and he is a legend. if anyone in Hollywood needs a score that tells a story they hire him .
it was so good and had a huge impact on the story. Zimmer is amazing
That was an INTERESTING turn that Nikki's mind went to at the end, but totally understandable! You could always be like my Korean grandma, she's constantly adopting kids off the street and taking care of random people in her neighborhood, you could just be the community mom! Or just make sure your kids have TONS of grandkids, lol. Steven's life flashed before his eyes, one day he's going to come home and Nikki adopted triplets.
I appreciate you both. Great reactions especially Nikki (hope you feel better soon). One point in the reaction I must point out was when Nikki said "Wow" at 52:47. She said it with such wonder, awe, and subtleness, which matched much of the film's silence and low sound tones. Great job.
I am absolutely shocked that you haven't seen this amazing film. Seen it numerous times and I always cry.
We’ve talked about it a lot. We avoided reacting to it because of how long it is. A 3 hour movie is a challenge for our schedule. But we decided to add it for the new year and we are very happy we watched it
@@NikkiStevenReact Wel I'm certainly glad you found the time and it's much appreciated.
“Should we have had more kids so we can have more grandkids?!” Gold 😂
One of my favorite movies ever, and absolutely one of my favorite videos by you guys as well! What a profoundly emotional reaction Nikki had at the end. I knew the storylines of family would move you two as well but it was beautiful to see you guys enjoy it as much as you did!
One of the best soundtracks by Hans Zimmer. I heard it live twice and I literally had shivers all over my body. Those organs man
NO WAY FINALLY!!!! THIS MOVIE IS BOTH EPIC AND HEARTWRENCHING!
The Tesseract! Christopher Nolan had his crew build a huge tesseract of Murphy's bedroom & bookcase.
Matthew McConaughey (Joe Cooper) was hanging from a cable while navigating the Tesseract. Brilliant film making!
As a parent, I get it....
A modern science fiction masterpiece, and gold standard for the genre. Christopher Nolan and Hans Zimmer...in the footsteps of the likes of Steven Spielberg and John Williams, and other legendary director and composer teams.
Great reaction to an amazing film.
Thank you for such an honest and open reaction to this movie! To have a science fiction movie based around a central theme of love is quite simply beautiful.
Nikki your reaction was incredibly wholesome especially during the end and I'll be honest I hadn't really thought about that side of it until watching your reaction. To celebrate your life with your family there is what everyone wants, all the love in one room. ❤
I am so glad that you guys finally watched this movie. Interstellar is one of my favorite Sci-Fi movies of all time and I mean everything about this movie was great. The graphics were incredible and out of this world, giving you the impression that you are living in space and the plot was fantastic, and it was impossible to estimate how much creativity went into it.
The acting, the visuals, and the soundtrack are the things that make this movie a masterpiece.
The science is pretty much spot on, even the visuals, there are a few books that came out on it, I have one called "The Science of Interstellar" . They had all kinds of scientists making sure they got it right!
this was my first live watch along and i really enjoyed it.
i loved Nikki's response to seeing Murphy with all her family at the end. something i initially glossed over but Nikki immediately saw right through to the richness of life in that room.
Well Done Nikki and Steve 🙌
The film glosses over that Cooper is also related to all these people and has never met them before.
@stephenwhitfield2679 if I saw my great great grandfather as a young dude, I'd be losing my sh1t. Who wouldn't want to immediately talk to that guy?
@@bendover7841Indeed
Ive seen this movie so many times now but ill never forget the first time!! Ive been watching react videos to this movie now because watching others watch it for their first time gives me a little bit of that same excitement 😁
One of the most powerful things about this movie is that it wields our humanity in such a desperate, passionate way. Our ingenuity, our stubbornness, our doubt, our faith, our frustration, bitterness... yet, our love, our cunning, our boldness, our fear, our strength, and so, so much more... Every. Single. Time. that I see this film (and share in the first-time experience of others watching this film, like right now) I'm brought to quietly weep through so many different phases of this movie. Every character pushing back against the rules, clinging to a private, motivating seed in each of their hearts - It's so human to make the choices that each character felt they had to make in any given moment, any given point in time, any point in their life. The losing, the winning, the prices paid, the sacrifices made, the damages done, the instincts for survival, even against rationality. Perhaps especially given the context of these profoundly intelligent scientists attempting to spearhead an organized, yet profoundly desperate "second chance" for the greater species - attempting to plant the seeds for fruit and food in a future that they knowingly would never pluck and savor. And others still bound by their hearts to follow, even against their objective understanding of what needed to be done instead, trying to find a way to follow both at the same time.. Augh. It's all so gripping, and moving, and it makes absolute complete sense why Nikki was so stricken by that scene in the hospital, while they're hurtling through space on a generational station trying to feel like normal people, cherishing the relics of where they came from, as they blaze the greatest trail into the unknown in the history - the entire story - of humanity. Geez.
Edit: Also, on the note of the tremendous music/score of this film - Challenge: There are several videos here on YT of people playing songs from Interstellar on piano in public. Try not to get choked up hearing this one instrument bring back every feeling you felt watching this film. IMPOSSIBLE! 😂😍😭
Wow, this is such an incredible comment! You've managed to both succinctly encapsulate the human condition & provide my favorite analysis of the film; bravo!
@@cdajfk9219 WE FEEL THE FEELINGS! 🤩
You guys seriously need a Nolan marathon! I know you've seen Memento, The Prestige, TDKR Trilogy. The rest of Nolan's movies you should watch!
There aren’t many left on his list. Nikki has seen Inception. Tenant and Dunkirk are 2 we haven’t seen
Oppenheimer 😊 @@NikkiStevenReact
@@NikkiStevenReactI don't know if you watch with subtitles but you should for Tenet...the dialogue is hard to hear a lot of times.
Tenet is way better than people give out credit for.
Dunkirk is spellbinding and beautifully shot.
I also love the way they go from sound to no sound. Sound doesn't travel through the vacuum of space. Amazing movie.
You guys did #1 reaction for me for #1 of my favourite movies. Amazing reaction.
It was a crime that Hans Zimmer did not get awards from this masterpiece soundtrack.
Y’all touched my heart deeply on this reaction. You left me in tears. Please keep plowing in the right direction. I believe in you wholeheartedly. ♥️
I've been watching ya'll since GOT days and this is my first time hearing mention of you being parents. Every time I watch I can't help but think "wow...these two would be the greatest aunts & uncles ever." You have huge hearts that I can feel through the screen and enough tolerance for mischief that I know little N&S will be wonderful human. Cheers
