Music Lovers, one and all! Run, no, travel your non-dimensional love paths to a local theatre for to view the current sic-fi thriller, Interstellar. There is music to be heard that will (I predict) evoke emotions similar to any hi point of any of your all-time favorite songs. 

Move this thread wherever you wish, Admin Team, but I have to give a huge scream into the Void with regards to the AMAZING soundtrack that music genius Hans Zimmer put together for Chris Nolan's film, Interstellar. Loud. Gorgeous. Organ- and piano-based. The movie would not be half as good without it. 

To me, this is another example of the incredible talent Zimmer has for expanding the emotional impact exponentially to each film he scores. But this may be his magnum opus. Truly.

WE at ProgArchives are all united by music. I am most excited by music that feels new and exciting, music that seems to push boundaries, to "boldly go where no man--no one--has gone before." Once in a great while soundtrack music seems to do this. For me. 

In my opinion, Interstellar is a good film made great by its music soundtrack. Check it out. You "Progressives" in the music world will probably like it.

Actually, a FANTASTIC movie I've seen recently—Gone Girl—also features a fantastic soundtrack. Ambient, relaxing, gives the movie an atmosphere of its own. A few 

I'd recommend the movie to anyone, and not just the soundtrack.

But in the regards of Interstellar, I'll see it this weekend and tell you what I thought!!

I thought it an awful movie on the whole, but i am a giant fan of excessively loud organ music, so that was a plus

The problem with the movie, as it always happens with hard science fiction movies, is that the author needs to find a way to explain physics to the public in a possibly simplified manner, and this is the reason why the movie fails. Too much Einstein and too less Kaluza. However, i have noticed the soundtrack, so thanls for having disclosed the author

i would emphatically not describe Interstellar as a hard science fiction film.  Sure there are elements that are right, but is plenty of stuff that makes no sense at all.

Time dilation, very good on the concept, but if you were orbiting a planet in a gravity gradient sufficient to cause a 20 year differential in perceived time, there is no way in hell that you would be able to regain orbit against that gravity.

The idea that on a world covered in water, seemingly only a couple inches deep, there would also be not infrequent mile-high waves, it just insane.

The robots, which i actually enjoyed, demonstrate technology far far in advance of anything else in that world.  Full AI, a seemingly infinitely malleable body, which reforms itself perfectly without seams, and what must be the most energy-dense power source in the universe, please.  If they had the nanotechology required to make the robots, they would not have any problem eradicating any microbe that might form 'the blight'.

Frozen clouds you can walk around on?  I am not even going to begin.

Harrumph.  Well, so as not to seem totally one-sided, there were some amazing elements as well.

I was struck by a theme in the film which I found very refreshing.  Ih the face of terrible consequences to the human race on almost every front, lots of people acted in totally irrational, selfish, small-minded ways.  Just like real people.  A nice bit of perception that.  Also, being a parent, I found some of the emotional elements of the plot and performances to be personally powerful

You are right, but for a movie this is what is closer to hard scifi. None of the elements are very new in scifi and the 5d paradox inside a black hole can have a sense only the black hole doesn't extend in the fifth, but even in hard scifi there must be a totally fantastic element. Compared to Star Wars it's hard enough.

According to Kip Thorne (scientific adviser), the frozen clouds are the more unrealistic element of the movie. Of course, it depends on your acceptance of the 'scientific' character of some theories about, for instance, black holes, which remain a huge mystery until now.

To me, it's very different in the form. Interstellar is slower. Deeper.
But the central theme is the same : Time.

The whole strings theory is fantasy, imo

I haven't seen this film and will probably will wait until its available on Sky movies ( Or Amazon Prime). which will be a year at least. I found Inception a bit of a disappointment although I do like a lot of Christopher Nolans work especially the mind bending Memento.

Going off tangent a bit I really enjoyed the film Looper (Bruce Willis) which is also had a time travel theme.

Saw the movie this afternoon, the music is amazing, it sometimes reminded me of early Tangerine Dream or Vangelis. I can't say anything about scientific veracity, but it was a very entertaining movie. Smile

fantastic movie .. I don't need to sit there and analyze the science - I just sat back and enjoyed the ride.
The music was great - it gave me a 2001 vibe - those long organ stings ...

The movie was really great, I haven't listened to most of the soundtrack yet, but I probably will. I like Hans Zimmer's music, a friend of mine introduced me to his music. :D
