better than interstellar


this story is by far better than interstellar!
shame it didnt have the big budget (some scenes are wooden!),but in a real life situation i believe that this could and probably will happen! brilliant story for all sci-fi fans! yet this could be more fact than fiction! very plausable. 9/10

Agreed.
Thank You for saying that. I can't say such a thing because of peoples anger. Interstellar is the Most overrated sci-fi ever. And Europa report is most underrated one.
Interstellar 7.0/10
Europa Report 9.5/10

Interstellar is the Most overrated sci-fi ever. And Europa report is most underrated one.

I absolutely agree with you 100%! I was a little less generous with the respective films' scorings:
Europa Report: 8
Interstellar: 6

Rest in peace, Roger Ebert. You were the best.

You think Europa report is a 9.5 out of 10? For real? That would mean it's a near perfect movie. I liked it, I liked Interstellar more (minus the weird ending). I thought Europa Report could have been amazing if they added more theoretical science to it. It was solid nonetheless. But it wasn't near perfect in my opinion. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, however.. So I'd just like to hear yours and how this is a 9.5. How do your rankings work and what's a 10?

reply

i agree with what you say but i gave it a 9/10 not because it was near perfect but because how i felt at the end its not a 10 is perfection or a 1 is terrible. everyone is going to rate what they saw and the mean average will determin the scores.it dosent deserve a nine but i gave it 9 cos nothing comes close to this as far as basic idea,i really enjoyed it

You are so right! I saw Interstellar late last year and I was very disappointed of how the plot turned out in the end.

Why Nolan thinks that making scripts more complex, can make a more effective movie? (much alike Inception)

I thought that there is great (scientific) planetary adventure beyond that wormhole, but no. Just sentimental garbage with dimensional jumps.

Europa Report IS a great movie. Simple and realistic. Sadly in this world, movies with a low budget and a very good script aren't appreciated anymore..

Exactly! Just about everything in Europa Report was better than in Interstellar: tauter plot, better emotional tension, interesting but uncomplicated characters who interact very realistically, better science, better writing, better score (and I'm as big a Hans Zimmer fan as you'll find), just all-around so much better. Sure, Interstellar's budget means it looks nicer visually, but Europa Report was still very fun to look at, always interesting visually, occasionally stunning. Heck, even though Interstellar had all the big-name actors, Europa Report held its own in the acting department, and I only recognized one actor, and that was the guy in the press conference at the beginning (the one who played Clay Davis in the Wire. Sh**********t!). Even using the found-footage gimmick worked really smoothly.

Until Interstellar came along I'd loved everything Christopher Nolan ever did, and don't get me wrong, Interstellar was an entirely adequate movie, but it's easily his worst work. Yet it's right up at near the top of the IMDB Top 250, and Europa Report is stuck down here at 6.5. That's unbelievable. I understand the big-budget, big name power of a movie like Interstellar, but even the critics liked it better (admittedly by a substantially smaller margin).

Sometimes the world just don't make sense.

More scientifically accurate than Interstellar at least, with more believable characters. But I like Sunshine better than both.

It's like Idiocracy...Interstellar made this look like Dude Wheres My Car? And I say that having LIKED Europa Report. Wow, just wow. What else? Is Spice World better than Casablanca? Holy *beep* stupidity....

reply

yes it was cheap.but not like spice girls movie or dude wheres my car.interstellar was nolans worst project. "sometimes no matter who the actors are or what the budget is,an interest in space/science with a frontier voyage/adventure outdoes a slapstick movie! id watch anything that makes you think about the real life physics of how far weve come in our space exploration,so a fictional film that is plausable is right up my street no matter the budget.everybodys different so i respect your opinion.....but dont compare it too that kind of movie,its a bit of a moron comment to describe this too spice girls or dude wheres my car". good day too all.

Welcome to the unofficial Christopher Nolan Haters Thread.

I must remind you guys that your opinion is in the minority. Most people would and will laugh at your ludicrous comparison. What's next? "Piranha 3D is better than Jaws"? "Paranormal Activity is better than The Exorcist or Poltergeist"?

And your lack of grammar, proper use of capital letters and punctuation is disturbing.

&#x27;What goes around comes around. Just like a kangaroo.&#x27;
