Talk:Interstellar (film)#Crew members

Main reasoning was behind "cult following" but conclusion about "one of the best sci-fi ever made" should back. That's true and here are some references to that.

:The above is very unclear to me. Please try to explain your point in simple English. HiLo48 (talk) 01:57, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

::Interstellar is a movie that regularly appears on "best sci-fi movies of all time" and not on 20th or 30th places, but in top 10, 5, or even 3.

::Few months ago it was acknowledged in the text, but was removed due to the mistake of "cult following". 109.173.222.27 (talk) 10:37, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

:::Per MOS:ACCLAIMED, please provide {{em|multiple}} reliable sources that support that claim. InfiniteNexus (talk) 17:32, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

::::Hello.

::::Multiple sources of that.

:::::Can we modify the "The film received critical acclaim and grossed..." to something like this "The film received acclaim from critics, who praised multiple aspects including cast performances, directing, cinematography and its score."? This would be a fair substitute with multiple sources supporting this. WikiWanderer261 (talk) 13:06, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

::::::Hi you should be able to I guess. 156.57.86.117 (talk) 07:24, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

:::::::None of those sources say that. They are all opinion pieces not critical reception sources Fxespawn (talk) 17:58, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Added a section to reception about how the film has garnered a more broadly positive reception over time, especially compared to how it was first recieved with a "-B" CinemaScore and 73% on Rotten Tomatoes, along with multiple Oscars snubs. I do believe that this reappraisal has happened, yet the only evidence I could find was a [https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueFilm/comments/1hfrdnq/has_interstellars_reputation_improved_over_the/ Reddit discussion post] and how the film has climbed up the rankings of the highest rated films of all time on [https://letterboxd.com/film/interstellar/ Letterboxd] and IMDb. If anyone would like to make suggestions or changes, I'd love to hear them/see them implemented, as I do feel like the general public's perception of Interstellar has shifted over the years to being more overwhelmingly positive, and the article should be updated to reflect this.

:You need to find better sources to back this up. The first ref was a general article about the re-release and the second was...y'know...Reddit. Barry Wom (talk) 09:42, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

::I know the sources are insufficient, and am asking you all for help finding some. Feel free to take down the section if it isn't well-sourced, but I'd just like to know everyone else's thoughts on this. Mellomelo (talk) 09:44, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

::: Seems dubious, audience response is difficult to evaluate as we have so few reliable sources. I question the use of WP:UGC user voted web polls such as IMDB and Letterboxd. The opening weekend audiences polled by Cinemascore might have been disappointed as they didn't necessarily know what to expect, but I don't read too much into it. I'm not sure this really shows a change over time, I though the film was pretty well received, based on the box office and many awards. Proceed with caution. (I haven't looked at the other references provided yet, maybe they're good, use them more instead if you can.) -- 109.76.130.148 (talk) 16:40, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

how come Interstellar of all movies do not have a legacy section, or any references to its audience reception, fan-following,

or "one of the best sci-fi movies of 2010s," for that matter?

Do grumpy and snobby Wikipedia editors hate it that much? 117.212.130.24 (talk) 13:54, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

These were not discussed in the film, so there should be a source for this information? Charlesmartin82 (talk) 01:40, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

:Hmm, good point. I see that the name Joseph comes from the 2008 version of the movie's script, but even in the final cut's credits, it's just "Cooper". As for mid-21st century, I'd reverted it back to this wording since unverifiable, specific years had been put in recently. I'm happy to change it to 'near future' or something. Sgubaldo (talk) 01:55, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

::@Sgubaldo Thanks! I think the source for the year is "The Science of Interstellar", but it's left open in the film. Charlesmartin82 (talk) 09:41, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

:::Do you happen to have the page number? Sgubaldo (talk) 17:37, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

::::@Sgubaldo my library doesn't have a copy. From what I can tell, it's in Chapter 16, about the LIGO observing the wormhole in 2019 (with the rest of the years derived by math via numbers given in the film). Charlesmartin82 (talk) 18:28, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

:::::Thank you. I had a look and, from page 160:

:::::"I imagine that decades before the movie begins, when Professor Brand was in his twenties, he was deputy director of a project called LIGO" [...] "One day in 2019, LIGO was hit by a burst of gravitational waves far stronger than any ever before seen....."

:::::Then, from page 162, "Professor Brand could find only one explanation: The waves must emerge from a wormhole that orbits Saturn."

:::::In the movie, the wormhole is found '48 years earlier'. I suppose that would put the movie circa 2067. I'm not particularly keen on putting a specific date, so I'd prefer leaving something vaguer like mid-21st century. Sgubaldo (talk) 19:33, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

::::::I think that's a good way of doing it. Kip Thorne is an executive producer on the film but his book doesn't mean it's technically "canon", I guess? I don't know the WP policies on this, but intuitively that's a good balance. Charlesmartin82 (talk) 22:54, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello! I am a new user here, but I have some suggestions. I think the article should have its tab with motion pictures or videos of space. I think that is one of the coolest parts of the movie how great the picture quality of the spaceships what it is like to be in outer space. Flavibot (talk) 20:34, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Hello! Also new user. I'm reading over the plot section, and as someone who hasn't watched interstellar yet, I'm a bit confused. Can someone please added the first name of Brand so that it can be clear with the distinction with Professor Brand and Astronaut Brand? Thank you! SpinoAce (talk) 04:44, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

:It’s already there. Third paragraph. Sgubaldo (talk) 06:44, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

::So is every "Brand" referring to Amelia Brand, while every "Professor Brand" referring to Professor Brand? I'm sorry, I haven't watched the film... SpinoAce (talk) 07:37, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

:::Yes. Sgubaldo (talk) 07:52, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
