@fredwin 2014 was a pretty big year for going to the cinema, from the underwhelming like Dracula Untold and Amazing Spider-Man 2 (didn’t like it back then, I know Natalie found it emotional) to the solidly entertaining like X-Men: Days of Future Past. I saw Guardians of the Galaxy with my then best friend from university, and Theory of Everything was an emotional trip with my family. The ones I missed like Edge of Tomorrow were bought on blu-ray. Besides Interstellar, the other significant trip was The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies… but not because it lived up to my hopes. It took scenes from the extended editions (which I own anyway) and fan edits to mend that feeling.
Every time I see that I weep like a child. It tears at my soul to hear Murph say, "well, today I'm as old as you were when you left. So now would be a _really great time to come back."_
Interstellar and The Martian came out pretty close together, and they were both very expensive to make, so there was a running joke about how much money Hollywood had spent to save Matt Damon, which I thought was really funny 😂
Holy crap that makes so much sense. There are moments that are sad, moments that are gentle and beautiful, and moments of pure terror. My brother just experienced his first of these last feelings, my baby nephew had to be rushed to the ER yesterday (he's fine now).

My father does not cry. Ever. The scene where he cries for her to not let him leave is the only time I've ever seen him shed a tear. This film is magical. Perfection.

12:45 Hans Zimmer composed the main theme without knowing the film was even a sci-fi. Nolan told him it was about a man who has to leave his family, and the music was composed for that theme.
On top of being such an emotially powerful story, this movie is my favorite becuae of its commitment to realism. When they were figuring out how to show the black hole for example, they could have gone the route that many films have gone in the past and shown it kinda like a 2D whirlpool, which is incorrect because a black hole is a 3D object. So with all the super powerful special effects computers that ILM has (at least I think it was ILM that did the effects) and some asisstance from actual atrophysicists they created a model of what a black hole would look like and it took some crazy amount of time to render, like days of render time I think. But what is the coolest part is that thier model they created for the movie was acually validated in late 2019 when the first acutal picture of a black hole was taken by scientists and it looked exactly like what the movie portrays.
the work they did on modeling the black hole lead to several published papers as well. like actual discoveries were found and published/verified. Kind of cool that this movie lead to an advancement in literal astrophysics lol
Well and not only that, I think Nolan's original idea was traveling faster than light to time travel. But Kip Thorn talked him out of it because it's not scientifically accurate. So time travel is done via gravity inside a 5th dimensional tesseract inside a supermassive black hole.
I love this movie for what it is: good sci-fi. Sorry to be that guy but... Astrophysics and theoretical physics aren't sciences. Science is empirical. It's about cause and effect relationships and experiments. An "image" of a so-called "black hole" is certainly not a proof of anything. It's good reinforcement though, if you already have a "belief" in this regard.
I will always and forever be salty about not having seen this movie in the cinema 😭😭 I'm obsessed with astronomy and spend a lot of time learning about it so the visuals always have me in a choke hold. Besides that this movie is just so well written and captivating ofc
Wow, did not see this coming but I am stoked! I love this movie and I love Christopher Nolan. Soo good, so heartbreaking, and a big ol cry headache to top it off every time
It is amazing how many sci-fi-laymen viewers love Interstellar so much. It is an average movie at best, it has so many flaws and weaknesses. It was, at the time, Nolan's worst movie BY FAR. The dialogue is absolute trash, really bad, embarrassingly bad. The characters are mostly dumb and miscast. The whole first act is low quality and retarded. And, and, and. And the movie did not do anything new: The effects of the Allgemeine Relativitätstheorie (Theory of General Relativity) have been depicted in other sci fi movies plenty of times. This was only the first time it was illustrated for the big audience in a popcorn blockbuster. The movie is far from fantastic.
Old Murph is played by Ellen Burstyn. When I saw her briefly in one of the recordings, I knew she was going to pop up again. She’s the kind of actor (6 Oscar nominations, 1 win) you don’t hire for a cameo unless it’s *intense* . Which it turned out to be.
The number of movies and tv shows I’ve watched and instead of casting an older actor they just put makeup on the actor of the younger character and get them to talk with a croaky voice really irritates me, but they nailed it with interstellar! Didn’t know about Ellen Burstyn but will Google her, thanks!
Yoooo, I've been watching this for years knowing I know this actress but not really knowing from what, Chris McNeil is in 2 of my all time favorite movies, wild
@@Reyesn7y Checked on google, wikipedia (both the film and Ellen's), film affinity and a bunch of others... all say Ellen Burstyn is elder Murph. So far the only exception is Imdb. Which is strange.
I really hope you'll do Arrival too! It's such a masterpiece from the acting, to the score, to the visual. Never fails to make me cry, but the tears are worth it. Sending love 💛
I saw this originally in imax in 2014 and it was just incredible, the visuals, the acting, the music and the sound design was just perfect, I love it. The whole movie hits so different after I became a father and rewatching, I cried so much with every interaction with his kids.
I love the character of Murph. Played by three different actresses. And each one totally kicks butt hard. That is a difficult task to pull off well - one character, three time lines, three actors. Crikey Moses! Everybody kicked butt, but the actress who played young Murph knocked it out of the park. She was so [bleeping] awesome!
I'm becoming a father next June, my wife's pregnant. I could have never felt the Interstellar sentence "When you become a parent, one thing is clear: you want your kids to be safe" Man, I feel it differently now.
This is my favorite movie of all time, not just because I am huge space exploration and astronomy nerd, but also because it's just such a fucking great film. That docking scene is a part of movie history. Fun fact, all 3 planets they visited were filmed in my country, Iceland.
11:13 I am in mid way watching this video and already started getting goosebumps, this movie is still so fresh to me. In my words, when I saw in theatres, this was not a movie, it was an emotion.
The thing that always blows my mind about this movie is just imagining going away for a weekend trip and when you come back your 10-year-old daughter is old enough to be your elderly mother. No matter how many times I see this movie I don't think I'll ever get over that part
This movie sums up why I love sci-fi films so much... Not just because of the awesome visuals, heartfelt actors, and out of this world soundtrack. It's also because of how much we can relate to these characters, especially Cooper. There was a time when I felt like 10 years have gone by and I still looked the same, but had new experiences. Everyone else around me, that I knew, grew older but still acted the same way as they did when I was younger. When I watched this movie, I started to recognize time is everything, that every little second, even if nothing is happening on that moment, means more than we know in this universe. So what I got from this is, Interstellar is simply reminding us to make the most out of time we've got, the space we keep, and our very own lives!
I’ll never forget randomly deciding to watch this at 01.00 AM during school vacation. It got late. When the credits rolled, I stared at the wall for a while, the impact it had on me went beyond. My all time favorite, looking foward to Openheimer.
This is one of my favorite movies ever. So scientifically accurate with a scale larger than any person could comprehend, but in the end the whole of humanity is saved by the love of a father and daughter. This remains one of the only movies that will make me cry every time I watch it. A lot of that is due to Hans Zimmer's perfect score. I have never heard anything else like it and doubt I ever will. The use of an organ in all of the scores lends itself to the scale of space, but it still feels innately human. Its an instrument that needs to breath and was made to be heard in a communal space. Christopher Nolan really nailed the filmic look of this film which makes everything feels tangible and real, mostly because it all is. As much that is humanly possible was filmed for real with models. Nolan famously hates CGI, but even so he created the most scientifically accurate CG model of a black hole ever. It took 100 hours PER SECOND to render the thing and two scientific papers were spawned from the movie. I love this movie because it manages to represent the scale of the universe and how small humans are in it, but the whole story is about a father keeping his promise to his daughter. Dr. Mann thought that humanity would hold them back from saving the species, but Cooper showed that humanity is exactly what saved it. God I love this movie. Not seeing this in a theater is one of my biggest regrets.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time, and I will always cry at least two times during it. The emotions are amazingly real and fully saturated between these two characters. ❤
Saw this movie a week or so after my birthday in the theaters, went in around 7pm? Didn't realize how long it was but I was SUCKED into every scene. This needs to be in a movie theater every year or so, the sounds from watching it in a theater is AMAZING. the whole "docking" scene near the end just makes your heart pound.
I'm a grown ass man and I cry like a baby every time I watch this movie. Without a question my favoirite movie of all time. The score, the cinematography the cast, everything is perfect.
This reaction couldn’t have come at a better time! I just rewatched this film (for the 5th time) so this is great. My all-time favourite movie right here ☝🏾
This movie is such a special case for me. I’m sure I’m not the only one who had this specific situation, but when this movie came out I was invited by some people, but decided not to go because it was too long for me and I was 12 and too young to like long movies. Fast forward a couple years later, I develop a love for space, Christopher Nolan, and Matthew McConaughey. Fast forward a bit more, and I revisit this film that I had heard of years prior, but didn’t give a chance. And never have I been so happy that I waited to experience something. This movie went on to connect with me on such an intense level that I can’t compare much else to it. I now typically rewatch this movie once a month if not more often, and dream of getting the chance to write something as wonderful, and as beautiful, and as profound as this movie is. I’m so happy you watched this, and even more so that you loved it.
15:30 Now that's a wave! I love your reaction this, "OOOOOO MYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOODDDDDD!" (Some ppls reactions suck to such a wonderful scene!) I love how slowly Nolan moves you up the wave so it can really sink in how big a wave can actually get! Everyone wave!
(starts watching) oh boy I can't wait for _those_ scenes :) edit: Also as an aside nat, you're legit one of the smartest reactors I've ever seen. You catch on to everything so fast!
I saw this movie in theaters twice in imax which was incredible. My friends and I were literally on the edges of our seats the entire time and all of us at 18 or 19 years old were collectively bawling our eyes out at the "23 years" scene. It has left a profound impact on me and it's one of my favorite movies of all time. It's so incredibly powerful. Also your comment about the film look is because the movie was shot entirely on imax film which gave the film such an incredible look. The scene where Coop is detaching and Brand is looking up, the combination of the lighting on her face and the film look gives this classic almost Casablanca shot.
I saw this in the movie theater when it came out and it still is the best cinematic experience I've ever had. This is one of my favorite sci-fi movies ever.
I watched this in theater when it first came out and when the movie finished you could hear a pin drop in the theater. Not a single word or noise. Everyone was mind blown. Great movie.
Also, this is 100% my favourite film now. Used to be Contact, mostly because i love the book and the movie and book always triggered a sense of the numinous and love of science, but this blew past it and Arrival is a close second now.
I LOVE INTERSTELLAR SO MUCH AND IM SO HAPPY YOU WATCHED IT!!! I love astrophysics and space and even though a good chunk of the movie around the blackhole isn't totally scientific, it still has so many aspects they nailed. 10/10 movie.
I love this movie. In my opinion it's one of the greatest movies of all time. It's intense, it's beautiful, it's heart breaking, and it's triumphant. I don't think any movie has made me cry like this one does. And on top of all of that, a lot of the science in this is real/based on actual theories. The theory of speed/time relativity in this is a real science. Objects moving at a faster speed experience time at a slower rate. It's truly amazing.
A great reaction, Natalie. I love this film, it's become one of my favourites, I think it will be a future classic. The soundtrack is wonderful as is the film itself.
This film and its soundtrack make me bawl like a baby every time i watch it. The "23 Years of Messages" scene kills me. Ugly crying sobbing, every time. I would argue that this soundtrack is Hans Zimmer's best work of his career, and the emotional acting is incredible.
I also cry every time I watch this movie or watch ppl react to it ngl... It's just a good movie omg. Love your reaction and your content nat! Hope you have a good exciting an eventful year of 2023! Wish you and your hubby all the best n joy to come ((:
Some movie suggestions for you Natalie, i hope you like them :3 • Pacific Rim • Over the Hedge • Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio • Planet of the Apes (2010's reboot) • Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
It's a short montage... but seeing Matthew's character watching his kids age a couple decades in front of him & him bursting in tears... highlight of the film... the upbeat score helped a lot too (yeah right...)
I'm sorta a physics enthusiast and I remmember first watching this movie and thinking "alright it has some great depictions of some cool phenomena but still it's a cinematic adaptation (especially the end with the black hole)" then some time after I assisted to a conference, given by the department of physics of a university in spain, about the physics of this movie/novel and boy my mind was blown out. Although it's still science fiction the physics this movie portrays is far more deep than I imagined. Also the score is just amazing. Edit: I'm already on board for your reaction to Oppenheimer.
This film is in my top 5 of all time. I’m 47 yrs old and have seen so many movies and been part of some of the greatest years for movies and I can easily say this film is top 5. It’s one of Nolan’s best, it’s maybe Zimmer’s best score. You should watch the feature on the score, it’s intentionally made to pull you to the edge of your seat and keep you there. This movie should’ve won best picture at the Oscars, it was robbed. I’ll have to watch this again tonight now
@@mshippy19 it’s just my taste, so I’m not declaring them the greatest, just my favorite Gladiator Blade Runner Unforgiven Saving Private Ryan Best horror: The Thing 1984 mind blown: the Matrix Gun play: Boondock Saints Way of the Gun When I can’t decide what to watch: anything by Tarantino
I think there were multiple docking stations, not just the one Dr Mann destroyed (becaise Dr Mann docked along the side of the ship while Cooper docked from the bottom). And Tars was the one that navigated the lock-in sequence so if anyone could do it, it would be a anthropomorphic computer. But maybe I misunderstood what happened at that point.
I love that when Mann explodes his ship when trying to dock the sound cuts out bc in space you wouldn't hear the explosion. Hans Zimmer outdid himself with this score.
The movie doesn't specify what brought the apocalypse to Earth. It suggest some sort of a bio-warfare or a cross-species disease which ultimately rendered the soil completely unfertile and also has apparently killed all the animals, so no source of food and because of the planet's ecosystem now inconsistent, the air is also getting less and less breathable.
Your end statement about the certain things that can't happen in real life: That's why I didn't like the movie when I first watched it in theater. Somehow these unrealistic scenes rubbed me the wrong way. Only when I re-watched it a few years later I fell in love with the movie. Probably because I knew to suspend disbelief.
From 8:19 farming, crops, this movie takes such a long/ different leap. I saw this movie twice in theatres and it was some experience. Luckily I went in blind, means, not watched its trailer and directly in. Sometimes that helps. Other movies where I didn't watched trailer and went directly to theatre were, The Conjuring 1 and Knives out 1.
Saw this on my recommended, this movie is the only film ever that has made me cry every time I've seen it. Truly a masterpiece I don't care what anyone says. It also has the best film score in history...🙏
Another comment! The simulation developed to render the black hole actually resulted in two physics papers which were published. When the VFX and physics team behind it same the rendering, it was the first time we thought the gavity lensing of the ecretion disk would create the type of effect you see around the black hole in the movie. And then the simulation was proven correct when we took out first image of a black hole a few years later, which showed essentially exactly what the simulation spat out.
This was my favorite movie experience in a movie theater of all time. This movie is a masterpiece. Thank you for the video and all your hard work for the content you create
The fact that this movie was made 10 years ago makes me feel like maybe im way too close to a giant spinning black hole and time just went 7 years/an hour
I love this movie. Even after watching it a few times, I get choked up. That said, I’m sure somebody mentioned it somewhere, but the model for Gargantua was based on everything we knew about black holes at the time and the computer model they used to create it birthed several scientific research papers. I mean, a movie that created VFX so well that actual scientific papers were done….that just blows my mind. And seeing it, where the top and bottom is glowing, wondering WTF, reading about it and realizing it’s not the top and bottom of the black hole, it’s the accretion disc’s light being bent around it and you’re actually seeing what’s on the other side of the black hole. Ah! I’m nerding out.
I still cry every single time I watch this movie, but the scene at the end hits so much harder than anything else. I can't imagine what it's like to watch your own child die.

But what is the coolest part is that thier model they created for the movie was acually validated in late 2019 when the first acutal picture of a black hole was taken by scientists and it looked exactly like what the movie portrays.
the work they did on modeling the black hole lead to several published papers as well. like actual discoveries were found and published/verified. Kind of cool that this movie lead to an advancement in literal astrophysics lol
Well and not only that, I think Nolan's original idea was traveling faster than light to time travel. But Kip Thorn talked him out of it because it's not scientifically accurate. So time travel is done via gravity inside a 5th dimensional tesseract inside a supermassive black hole.
I think there isn't a single movie except Interstellar, which shows a black hole of wormhole how it would actually look like, right?
I love this movie for what it is: good sci-fi.
Sorry to be that guy but... Astrophysics and theoretical physics aren't sciences.
Science is empirical. It's about cause and effect relationships and experiments. An "image" of a so-called "black hole" is certainly not a proof of anything. It's good reinforcement though, if you already have a "belief" in this regard.
@@MrSarcasm101 Show me on the doll where Astrophysics hurt you.
I will always and forever be salty about not having seen this movie in the cinema 😭😭 I'm obsessed with astronomy and spend a lot of time learning about it so the visuals always have me in a choke hold. Besides that this movie is just so well written and captivating ofc
Wow, did not see this coming but I am stoked! I love this movie and I love Christopher Nolan. Soo good, so heartbreaking, and a big ol cry headache to top it off every time
oh I am all too familiar with those cry headaches 😂
@@NatalieGoldReacts 😢
Interstellar and Arrival share my number one spot for best sci-fi movies of all time. I am so glad that I watched both of them in the cinema.
Edge of Tomorrow and Oblivion are both fantastic.
Dune 1984
It is amazing how many sci-fi-laymen viewers love Interstellar so much. It is an average movie at best, it has so many flaws and weaknesses. It was, at the time, Nolan's worst movie BY FAR. The dialogue is absolute trash, really bad, embarrassingly bad. The characters are mostly dumb and miscast. The whole first act is low quality and retarded. And, and, and.
And the movie did not do anything new: The effects of the Allgemeine Relativitätstheorie (Theory of General Relativity) have been depicted in other sci fi movies plenty of times. This was only the first time it was illustrated for the big audience in a popcorn blockbuster. The movie is far from fantastic.
@@bobbwc7011 Cool story bro. Here's the attention you ordered.
@@bendover7841 I'm still looking for the bus with the people who give a shit about your response....
Old Murph is played by Ellen Burstyn. When I saw her briefly in one of the recordings, I knew she was going to pop up again. She’s the kind of actor (6 Oscar nominations, 1 win) you don’t hire for a cameo unless it’s *intense* . Which it turned out to be.
The number of movies and tv shows I’ve watched and instead of casting an older actor they just put makeup on the actor of the younger character and get them to talk with a croaky voice really irritates me, but they nailed it with interstellar! Didn’t know about Ellen Burstyn but will Google her, thanks!
Yoooo, I've been watching this for years knowing I know this actress but not really knowing from what, Chris McNeil is in 2 of my all time favorite movies, wild
OMG... been all this time thinking who she was.... The Exorcist!!!
pretty sure its not her. she doesnt look like her, and imdb doesnt have her listed in the movie
@@Reyesn7y Checked on google, wikipedia (both the film and Ellen's), film affinity and a bunch of others... all say Ellen Burstyn is elder Murph. So far the only exception is Imdb. Which is strange.
I saw this in IMAX and nearly had a panic attack on the water planet. It was so damn tense and I hate deep water.
I really hope you'll do Arrival too! It's such a masterpiece from the acting, to the score, to the visual. Never fails to make me cry, but the tears are worth it. Sending love 💛
Rightttt. Interstellar, Arrival and Ex machina. My favorite sci-fis and interstellar also is my favorite movie
She's seen it :)
No spoiler, but in Arrival the first time she sees IT, with the scenery and the soundscape, absolutely gave me chills.
The Martian is the best tho
And Contact! One of the few movies better than the book, although I loved the book, too.
I saw this originally in imax in 2014 and it was just incredible, the visuals, the acting, the music and the sound design was just perfect, I love it. The whole movie hits so different after I became a father and rewatching, I cried so much with every interaction with his kids.
Would of loved to have watched this at the BFI.
I love the character of Murph. Played by three different actresses. And each one totally kicks butt hard. That is a difficult task to pull off well - one character, three time lines, three actors. Crikey Moses!
Everybody kicked butt, but the actress who played young Murph knocked it out of the park. She was so [bleeping] awesome!
I'm becoming a father next June, my wife's pregnant.
I could have never felt the Interstellar sentence "When you become a parent, one thing is clear: you want your kids to be safe"
Man, I feel it differently now.
Congrats by now!
Do you have a baby yet?
This is my favorite movie of all time, not just because I am huge space exploration and astronomy nerd, but also because it's just such a fucking great film. That docking scene is a part of movie history. Fun fact, all 3 planets they visited were filmed in my country, Iceland.
Nat's all out laugh at 34:48 is EVERYTHING. Love this woman. ☮☮ & 💜💜 to you and to yours. Thanks to you for making the room brighter.
Interstellar is a Masterpiece and Has An INCREDIBLE SCORE. My Favorite Nolan Flim. Will Never Forget The First Time I Saw The Wave Sequence
Can’t believe you edited out the “because my dad promised me” that line breaks me every time
11:13 I am in mid way watching this video and already started getting goosebumps, this movie is still so fresh to me.
In my words, when I saw in theatres, this was not a movie, it was an emotion.
wish I could go back to the day i first watched it in the theatre, impossible to get that feeling back
This movie is a masterpiece. I love rewatching this every now and then and it always still keeps making me drop tears.
Easily one of the greatest movies ever. Always crying at certain scenes as well as goosebumps. 😊
The thing that always blows my mind about this movie is just imagining going away for a weekend trip and when you come back your 10-year-old daughter is old enough to be your elderly mother. No matter how many times I see this movie I don't think I'll ever get over that part
And as strong as the emotions are, the science holds up too. That’s what makes this film so impactful to multiple kinds of audiences.
seen this movie for like 7 times already, and I was obsessed with the 4th and 5th dimension theory, tesseract, time dilation and what not. Incredible
The Lincoln commercial joke was lowkey the funniest thing Nat's ever said hahah
Honestly I could see him saying that 🤣😂🤣
This movie sums up why I love sci-fi films so much... Not just because of the awesome visuals, heartfelt actors, and out of this world soundtrack. It's also because of how much we can relate to these characters, especially Cooper. There was a time when I felt like 10 years have gone by and I still looked the same, but had new experiences. Everyone else around me, that I knew, grew older but still acted the same way as they did when I was younger. When I watched this movie, I started to recognize time is everything, that every little second, even if nothing is happening on that moment, means more than we know in this universe. So what I got from this is, Interstellar is simply reminding us to make the most out of time we've got, the space we keep, and our very own lives!
I’ll never forget randomly deciding to watch this at 01.00 AM during school vacation.
It got late.
When the credits rolled, I stared at the wall for a while, the impact it had on me went beyond.
My all time favorite, looking foward to Openheimer.
This is one of my favorite movies ever. So scientifically accurate with a scale larger than any person could comprehend, but in the end the whole of humanity is saved by the love of a father and daughter. This remains one of the only movies that will make me cry every time I watch it. A lot of that is due to Hans Zimmer's perfect score. I have never heard anything else like it and doubt I ever will. The use of an organ in all of the scores lends itself to the scale of space, but it still feels innately human. Its an instrument that needs to breath and was made to be heard in a communal space. Christopher Nolan really nailed the filmic look of this film which makes everything feels tangible and real, mostly because it all is. As much that is humanly possible was filmed for real with models. Nolan famously hates CGI, but even so he created the most scientifically accurate CG model of a black hole ever. It took 100 hours PER SECOND to render the thing and two scientific papers were spawned from the movie. I love this movie because it manages to represent the scale of the universe and how small humans are in it, but the whole story is about a father keeping his promise to his daughter. Dr. Mann thought that humanity would hold them back from saving the species, but Cooper showed that humanity is exactly what saved it. God I love this movie. Not seeing this in a theater is one of my biggest regrets.
Thanks for your wonderful comment, totally agree 🤩
This is one of my favorite movies of all time, and I will always cry at least two times during it. The emotions are amazingly real and fully saturated between these two characters. ❤
The message scene is by far one the most heartbreaking stuff ever did on movies. This is not a movie about science, it's about family.
Saw this movie a week or so after my birthday in the theaters, went in around 7pm? Didn't realize how long it was but I was SUCKED into every scene. This needs to be in a movie theater every year or so, the sounds from watching it in a theater is AMAZING. the whole "docking" scene near the end just makes your heart pound.
The score for this movie is just on another level. This soundtrack is what I listen to when I'm studying.
I'm a grown ass man and I cry like a baby every time I watch this movie. Without a question my favoirite movie of all time. The score, the cinematography the cast, everything is perfect.
This reaction couldn’t have come at a better time! I just rewatched this film (for the 5th time) so this is great. My all-time favourite movie right here ☝🏾
Visually this is one of the most beautiful movies I’ve ever seen. I never imagined space like art, gorgeous and awe inspiring.
For me the docking scene is one of the pivotal moments in cinematic history. 🧡💛🧡
That docking scene has its own separate fan base 😅
I agree wholeheartedly
Cooper, this is no time for caution!
This movie is such a special case for me. I’m sure I’m not the only one who had this specific situation, but when this movie came out I was invited by some people, but decided not to go because it was too long for me and I was 12 and too young to like long movies. Fast forward a couple years later, I develop a love for space, Christopher Nolan, and Matthew McConaughey. Fast forward a bit more, and I revisit this film that I had heard of years prior, but didn’t give a chance. And never have I been so happy that I waited to experience something. This movie went on to connect with me on such an intense level that I can’t compare much else to it. I now typically rewatch this movie once a month if not more often, and dream of getting the chance to write something as wonderful, and as beautiful, and as profound as this movie is. I’m so happy you watched this, and even more so that you loved it.
It's amazing to read how much this movie means to so many of us.
It feels like I’ve been waiting for this reaction for centuries!😝😝
For 23 years
15:30 Now that's a wave! I love your reaction this, "OOOOOO MYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOODDDDDD!" (Some ppls reactions suck to such a wonderful scene!) I love how slowly Nolan moves you up the wave so it can really sink in how big a wave can actually get! Everyone wave!
(starts watching) oh boy I can't wait for _those_ scenes :)
edit: Also as an aside nat, you're legit one of the smartest reactors I've ever seen. You catch on to everything so fast!
tbf she saw this long ago
I saw this movie in theaters twice in imax which was incredible. My friends and I were literally on the edges of our seats the entire time and all of us at 18 or 19 years old were collectively bawling our eyes out at the "23 years" scene. It has left a profound impact on me and it's one of my favorite movies of all time. It's so incredibly powerful.
Also your comment about the film look is because the movie was shot entirely on imax film which gave the film such an incredible look. The scene where Coop is detaching and Brand is looking up, the combination of the lighting on her face and the film look gives this classic almost Casablanca shot.
I saw this in the movie theater when it came out and it still is the best cinematic experience I've ever had. This is one of my favorite sci-fi movies ever.
I watched this in theater when it first came out and when the movie finished you could hear a pin drop in the theater. Not a single word or noise. Everyone was mind blown. Great movie.
Seeing this in the theaters was one of the greatest movie experiences I ever had. So greatful I got to see it when I did.
This is the most heartbreaking movie I've ever seen. I have absolutely NO idea why this movie didn't get an Oscar for best movie of the year.
Also, this is 100% my favourite film now. Used to be Contact, mostly because i love the book and the movie and book always triggered a sense of the numinous and love of science, but this blew past it and Arrival is a close second now.
I LOVE INTERSTELLAR SO MUCH AND IM SO HAPPY YOU WATCHED IT!!! I love astrophysics and space and even though a good chunk of the movie around the blackhole isn't totally scientific, it still has so many aspects they nailed. 10/10 movie.
Also it is so emotional, never end up NOT crying at the end or the scene where he's watching his kids grows up...
So glad you finally reacted to this! This movie is so heartbreaking yet told in such a beautiful way.
I love this movie. In my opinion it's one of the greatest movies of all time. It's intense, it's beautiful, it's heart breaking, and it's triumphant. I don't think any movie has made me cry like this one does. And on top of all of that, a lot of the science in this is real/based on actual theories. The theory of speed/time relativity in this is a real science. Objects moving at a faster speed experience time at a slower rate. It's truly amazing.
"Curly bangs" Natalie is undefeated!
Danke!
What an incredible movie, forever in my top 5. So glad to see you reacting to it!!
A great reaction, Natalie. I love this film, it's become one of my favourites, I think it will be a future classic. The soundtrack is wonderful as is the film itself.
Hanz Zimmer is our generations Beethoven. Phenomenal score.
In the wave world sequence, there is a metronome in the backround throughout. Every tick is a day on earth.
First stranger things, now Interstellar. Again Natalie, I WASN'T PLANNING ON CRYING THIS MORNING BUT HERE WE ARE!
This film and its soundtrack make me bawl like a baby every time i watch it. The "23 Years of Messages" scene kills me. Ugly crying sobbing, every time. I would argue that this soundtrack is Hans Zimmer's best work of his career, and the emotional acting is incredible.
I love how they are literally travelling across galaxies and black holes in the movie and Natalie is surprised that they can land on water 😂
New year, same old Natalia 😂
A beautiful movie and a beautiful reaction Nat 💛
she never changes
I also cry every time I watch this movie or watch ppl react to it ngl... It's just a good movie omg. Love your reaction and your content nat! Hope you have a good exciting an eventful year of 2023! Wish you and your hubby all the best n joy to come ((:
Some movie suggestions for you Natalie, i hope you like them :3
• Pacific Rim
• Over the Hedge
• Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio
• Planet of the Apes (2010's reboot)
• Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Eternal sunshine would be dope
@@BassLineProductionsI True, it's a good movie
10/10 movie.
I always forget just how good it is until I watch it again.
I watched this for the first time with you over on Patreon and I am still crying about it.
It's a short montage... but seeing Matthew's character watching his kids age a couple decades in front of him & him bursting in tears... highlight of the film...
the upbeat score helped a lot too (yeah right...)
I'm sorta a physics enthusiast and I remmember first watching this movie and thinking "alright it has some great depictions of some cool phenomena but still it's a cinematic adaptation (especially the end with the black hole)" then some time after I assisted to a conference, given by the department of physics of a university in spain, about the physics of this movie/novel and boy my mind was blown out. Although it's still science fiction the physics this movie portrays is far more deep than I imagined. Also the score is just amazing.
Edit: I'm already on board for your reaction to Oppenheimer.
This film is in my top 5 of all time. I’m 47 yrs old and have seen so many movies and been part of some of the greatest years for movies and I can easily say this film is top 5. It’s one of Nolan’s best, it’s maybe Zimmer’s best score. You should watch the feature on the score, it’s intentionally made to pull you to the edge of your seat and keep you there. This movie should’ve won best picture at the Oscars, it was robbed. I’ll have to watch this again tonight now
what are your top 4 ?
@@mshippy19 it’s just my taste, so I’m not declaring them the greatest, just my favorite
Gladiator
Blade Runner
Unforgiven
Saving Private Ryan
Best horror: The Thing 1984
mind blown: the Matrix
Gun play: Boondock Saints
Way of the Gun
When I can’t decide what to watch: anything by Tarantino
My favorite space movie. I’m so glad you reacted to this. I needed some refreshing
I think there were multiple docking stations, not just the one Dr Mann destroyed (becaise Dr Mann docked along the side of the ship while Cooper docked from the bottom). And Tars was the one that navigated the lock-in sequence so if anyone could do it, it would be a anthropomorphic computer. But maybe I misunderstood what happened at that point.
No. I believe you are correct.
I love that when Mann explodes his ship when trying to dock the sound cuts out bc in space you wouldn't hear the explosion. Hans Zimmer outdid himself with this score.
Christopher Nolan + Hans Zimmer = Perfection
The movie doesn't specify what brought the apocalypse to Earth. It suggest some sort of a bio-warfare or a cross-species disease which ultimately rendered the soil completely unfertile and also has apparently killed all the animals, so no source of food and because of the planet's ecosystem now inconsistent, the air is also getting less and less breathable.
Uh, finally you watch this masterpiece :)
I hope you will love it as much as I do 😁
It's one of these movies that always make me cry 😢
Your end statement about the certain things that can't happen in real life:
That's why I didn't like the movie when I first watched it in theater.
Somehow these unrealistic scenes rubbed me the wrong way.
Only when I re-watched it a few years later I fell in love with the movie. Probably because I knew to suspend disbelief.
The movie I have been waiting for, thank you so much
Your "acting skills" are stressful, this movie is perfect
You're great. It feels like such wholesome content. Thank you. I'm heading over to the Edge of Tomorrow video now.
From 8:19 farming, crops, this movie takes such a long/ different leap.
I saw this movie twice in theatres and it was some experience.
Luckily I went in blind, means, not watched its trailer and directly in.
Sometimes that helps.
Other movies where I didn't watched trailer and went directly to theatre were, The Conjuring 1 and Knives out 1.
This is my favourite movie, I'm so glad you reacted to this, loved the reaction too
One of my all time favourite movies. Christopher Nolan and the crew are always at their best with his Stories.
theres no sound in space so when the ship exploded....its a nod to the scientists and astrophysicists to approve that part
Saw this on my recommended, this movie is the only film ever that has made me cry every time I've seen it.
Truly a masterpiece I don't care what anyone says. It also has the best film score in history...🙏
I don't watch all of Natalie's videos, but when I do, I am quickly reminded to turn down my headphone volume.
17:24-18:38. If they gave Oscars for one scene, he would have won that year, hands down.
Another comment! The simulation developed to render the black hole actually resulted in two physics papers which were published. When the VFX and physics team behind it same the rendering, it was the first time we thought the gavity lensing of the ecretion disk would create the type of effect you see around the black hole in the movie. And then the simulation was proven correct when we took out first image of a black hole a few years later, which showed essentially exactly what the simulation spat out.
I have the huge privileged to watch this in the teather at the time
This movie blew my mind away and i love the reaction as always 😎
I bet this would be INCREDIBLE in theatres
I strive to not let jealousy control me, but by God am I jealous of you for getting to see this in the theater.

My favourite line in the film xD
The mistake I make every single time is I am done eatin’, or drinkin’ by the time she says, “grab a drink, grab a snack …”. 😂
This was my favorite movie experience in a movie theater of all time. This movie is a masterpiece. Thank you for the video and all your hard work for the content you create
The fact that this movie was made 10 years ago makes me feel like maybe im way too close to a giant spinning black hole and time just went 7 years/an hour
I love this movie. Even after watching it a few times, I get choked up. That said, I’m sure somebody mentioned it somewhere, but the model for Gargantua was based on everything we knew about black holes at the time and the computer model they used to create it birthed several scientific research papers. I mean, a movie that created VFX so well that actual scientific papers were done….that just blows my mind. And seeing it, where the top and bottom is glowing, wondering WTF, reading about it and realizing it’s not the top and bottom of the black hole, it’s the accretion disc’s light being bent around it and you’re actually seeing what’s on the other side of the black hole. Ah! I’m nerding out.
