I love sci-fi, but I don’t watch a lot of movies because it’s always “man versus machine”. It’s always predictable how something will always go wrong, the tech will fail, etc.
I know Interstellar has rave reviews, but I didn’t see it until today. Now I know why everyone loves it.
It was never a question of “will the technology allow us to do things”, it was more about the human choices and sacrifices we have to make with the limitations of technology and who we’re making those sacrifices for.
I know others have recd it, but I finished it today and HOLY SHIT. That is some good sci-fi!! it’s like if Ghibli did brutality? I realllyyyy love when stories portray an environment as a central character, and this planet and its creatures have so much personality. Annihilation meets Nausicaa of the valley of the wind. Just stunning.
I really hate when people say “you should watch this, it’s so good”. Maybe it’s my natural oppositional defiance at play, but any time something gets hyped up, I want nothing to do with it.
So I just finished watching Challengers, and yeah. It lives up to the hype. But I’m glad I came to that conclusion in my own terms, makes it easier to see a piece of work for what it is, without the influence of too many opinions.
Is when someone sends you a song they think you would like and they actually get it right, and then it goes into heavy rotation, and every time you listen to it, it makes you think about how they were thinking about you, and it’s like a tiny little love letter from the universe, letting you know that in one split second in time, you were in someone’s thoughts
