Interstellar: The Official Movie Novelization

Product Information

I don't have much to say about the plot and everything. My job was just visualising it again in my mind with what I was reading. Watching the film first and reading it next helps in imaging the characters in a good way. It didn't bother my reading at all. I had a joyous ride exploring the novel version of themselves. This is simply a masterpiece. Nothing more than that. In the move, it all ends in an optimistic note in COOPER STATION, but what of the Earth? Kip admits in the book that to “harness gravity” to get off the earth would probably require a complete destruction of the planet (through extreme compression).

I want to begin by saying how much I enjoyed your book. It’s given me a deeper appreciation of just how much work has gone in to legitimizing the plot of the film. It made my feels go crazy, it blew my mind, it was so realistic... In summary, it was brilliant. The cast was great, the effects were amazing, the music (by the Zimmer King) was astounding. The director, Christopher Nolan (the one of the amazing Batman trilogy), did an amazing job. I tell you, this one was an epic movie. So, let's put things clear from now: If you haven't watched the movie, go do it before you read the book. I mean it.And that is where the Future that is shown to us breaks down. It shows us an agrarian world that is still capable of inter-planetary travel. That would require a very fast breakdown of things. Fast enough to not let the technology or the knowledge wither away. One bad generation would enough to lose the skills that were required for the Exodus. The plot had to assume an almost impossible fast degeneration and a lot of coincidental happenings in that very small window allowed even in such a world. That is not very realistic. The only problem is that by the time we have had time to degrade so much, to feel the hopelessness, to tighten control over a society so much with so less technology, it would probably be too late to be even thinking of interstellar travel. Explaining which ones were based on proven true scientific facts, which ones on educated guesses and which ones on speculation. But always, without leaving anything to chance or without, at least, an accepted theory by the scientific community as possible. The book, as it is written is an excellent companion to the movie. Particularly if you, like many, have seen the movie and missed much of the dialogue. Thorne, Kip (November 29, 2014).

My world," he said softly. "Yes. Our world, we hope. Our world is cold, stark, but undeniably beautiful..." I watched Interstellar during a long flight from Amsterdam to Atlanta. By the end of the movie, I was convinced of two things:

I wonder what you are doing right now. I hope you have found Amelia and you two are on another adventure into the depths of the space, with a little more honesty on your part, isn't that right Cooper, 90 percent? The main post on that thread has the most recently updated list, as compiled by those forum users. Here’s a copy of the list from the main post: But even that long list isn’t complete. Yahoo! Movies spotted a few items which don't appear above: All in all this book is enthralling , I am already a little bit obsessed with the movie , but look at this , we have a book too and it is amazing , very well written with the same breathtaking story .

This highlights, I think, just how much gnarly number crunching you’ve done for this film, whether you’re brainstorming ideas or reverse engineering plot points. Was this a frustrating process for you at all?

THE END OF EARTH WILL NOT BE THE END OF USFrom acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight Triology, Inception), this is the chronicle of a group of explorers who make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage. At stake are the fate of a planet... Earth... and the future of the human race. So why focus on wormholes at all if they’re so out of reach? What should someone do if they’re really inspired by the film and want to personally contribute to bringing something as wild as interstellar travel closer to reality? Even if we imagine an extreme 300 kilometers per second, we would need 5000 years to reach Proxima Centauri (nearest star to earth) and 13,000 years to reach Tau Ceti. Not a pleasant prospect! And if you think it's all "science-y", you couldn't be more wrong! At its core, the story is about love. Love between a father and his daughter. Interstellar is a film that fills me with so many conflicting emotions. On one hand, the film evokes so eloquently the human drive for survival as captured by the Dylan Thomas poem Professor Brand quotes; it says to never give up. When death comes, rage and fight with everything you have. But, on the other hand, the idea of pouring vast amounts of money into space exploration rather than looking for a viable solution on Earth makes me cringe.

I'm not usually a fan on movie novelizations, which are mostly a waste of time, especially if you see the movie it's based on. This one, however, was probably the best one I've read, and really expanded on the movie with the descriptions of what was actually going on in between the characters' dialogue. Murph was another amazing character. She grows during the book and you can feel the differences between her 10-year-old self and her thirty-something self. Both are incredibly intelligent, but the latter one misses the innocence and faith the younger one had.And if we were capable of sacrificing our present for the future generations...? Well. Umm. We wouldn’t be in a fix in the first place, would we? At first glance, Interstellar does seem to have a green message, warning that climate change could make the world uninhabitable for humans (and, presumably, other species). Yet there's an odd twist. The tag line for the film is, "The end of the Earth will not be the end of us." And the lead scientist, played by Michael Caine (no longer Alfred the Butler), says at one point: "We are no
