Well, interstellar has also some nerd stuff in it. If I remember correctly Kip Thorne did physics consulting on the movie and they even use a simulation running on a cluster to visualize the black hole physically correct.
They could have used some arbitrary CGI…but no, they wanted it accurate according to science.

- aragilar 4mo agoAnd yet the rest of the movie runs on movie logic, enough so that every physicist I know rolls their eyes at it. It gives me the vibe of the "IFLS" crowd, not anyone who actually understands science.
- protocolture 4mo agoYeah its a bugbear of mine "oh its so accurate" theres like 2 accurate scenes, and most of it (from economics/agriculture to space physics) is completely bonkers. Sadly its a lot of "Filmbros first serious scifi movie" and thats something you cant disentangle, its love its not rational.
- klausa 4mo agoMaybe we run in different circles, but I feel like “appreciates scientific accuracy” and “appreciates historical accuracy” are pretty disjoint sets? Not entirely without overlap, but pretty distinct.
- SvenL 4mo agoI was referring to this: >I think that Nolan sells himself (The online worship can hardly all be organic) as an authentic, technical director interested in accurate physical props. I just wanted to give an example of such accurate physics props, that this is not only due to Oppenheimer. This was not about the historic accuracy.
