Interstellar and Guardians of the Galaxy


Recommended Posts

Watched both Interstellar and Guardians of the Galaxy.

 

Interstellar is a bag of crap that's trying too hard to be a modern 2001: A Space Odyssey... that's 2:45hrs of my life I'm not getting back as it doesn't hold a candle to a classic like 2001.

 

Guardians on the other hand, a brilliant, funny, clever, comic book romp that was frankly too short and makes me hanker after Guardians 2.

 

I'd give Interstellar 5/10 and Guardians 9/10

...and i think you are being generous with GOG, I agree it was too short, because I feel the pace of the film was too quick to the spectator get involved with the movie characters.

did not watch interstellar,  but i watched GoG and it definately does not deserve the praise i see many people giving it.

i though it was reasonably entertaining,  so maybe 6/10 tops.     no where near the fun of X-Men the days of future past.     but that is my opinion i guess... and many disagree.

it is the first movie with tomatometer of 90 and audience of 94, that i just did not like.

I thought Intersteller was amazing.  Probably one of my favorite movies ever.  The visuals where stunning in IMAX, and I left the theater knowing I needed a 4K TV.    Guardians of the Galaxy was awesome as well.  Not quite the same being a comedy.  To each his own I guess.  I'm still looking forward to trying out the ISS from Intersteller on Oculus Rift when it comes out.  That'll be epic for sure.

I'd put the pure fun and not taking itself seriousness far above the annoying reset button deus ex machina of Days of future past. It's the absolute WORST storytelling technique EVER. Star Trek made it work, X-Men... did not, mostly because it was unnecessary. 

X-Men was so boring that I fell a sleep. G of G was excellent . . . the other foremention movie was so so.

 

you mean the latest x-men? vs g of g???

 

 

and you found the xmen boring???

 

 

 

LOL. lets agree to disargee.   i did actually fell asleep at G of G.

it was a long day and i was at the theater that allowed beer at the seat.

 

however, unlike GofG,  x-men had me gripped at the edge of my seat without boredom.

 

different strokes i guess.

Interstellar was a huge disappointment in so many ways. Guardians was an unexpected treat that I enjoyed so much more than almost every other Marvel movie. I don't score many movies a perfect 10 so Guardians wouldn't get that, but otherwise I'd agree pretty closely with OP's scores :) 

Interstellar was trying too hard I agree. It was a okay film just about 45 minutes too long. Also it was not anywhere near as clever as they seem to think it was. I did enjoy Nolan's representation of time collapsed to a three dimensional space though. Visually very nicely done. I saw Predestination a few days before Interstellar though and as Predestination is incredible I think perhaps that impacted my appreciation for Interstellar's time travel mechanics.

 

GotG was a very fun movie with great characters and well done effects. I am not a huge super hero movie fan but I did enjoy GotG a lot, much more than I was expecting too.

    • Payday TWO!! Is 13 years old man I feel old - I remember trying it out and if I did not know I would say 5-6 years ago or something
    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
