Everything Wrong With Interstellar, Featuring Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson 

Here's another sin removal: on the water planet, the soundtrack in the background has a prominent ticking noise. These ticks happen every 1.4 seconds. Each tick you hear is a whole day passing on Earth.

The only wrong thing with this movie is, it didnt win Oscar

you can tell cinema sins was really reaching in this one; no one can deny this movie was an absolute masterpiece

One thing that strikes me is that he only asks about his daughter when he wakes up. Not about his son. He doesn't even ask Murph about him. Poor kid...

But seriously, the scene with him watching his messages from his kids was the closest a movie has ever gotten me to crying.

More appropriate title: CinemaSins rags on Interstellar while Neil deGrasse Tyson defends the movie

A movie over 3 hours long and only had 104 sins. That's how you KNOW it was a masterpiece.

IM SO GLAD THEY REMOVED A SIN FOR THE CRYING SCENE... IT BREAKS MY HEART EVERY TIME AND HE DOES THE SCENE SOOOO WELLL

The reason his voice is scratchy is due to sand in his lungs.

I could not agree more about the scene where he saw his kids age 23 years in an instant being absolutely heartwrenching. If I had to go thru that, I would cry like I've never cried before. Very powerful scene.

At 13:34, it's shown in a prior scene that Mann removes his long-range transmitter from the back of his helmet and throws it. Later when Cooper is struggling to breathe he crawls to it and reattaches it.

This movie is iconic. It's in the same category with Shutter Island, Inception, Dark Knight, Tenet and Prestige. I can watch them many times.

I missed watching this in a theatre. My biggest sin.

Dr Neil deGrasse Tyson: hi Cinemasins: *removes sin*

12:51 On programming something to recognize danger, there's ways robots can respond but theres also ways they very specifically cannot respond. Let's say "x" is a robot. X can usually regulate temperature unless its fan is blocked, then user must clear blockage to prevent overheating. There's no way for you to program a "clear the blockage" directive because "blockage" is unspecified internally and externally. There's no way to register exactly how it will be blocked or exactly how it should be cleared. Maybe it's iced over, maybe it's gummed up by tar. Each has a unique cause and solution, which the robot would need to identify before fixing. Unless you programmed every eventuality in the world for it to recognize and respond to, a normal robot wouldn't respond to the unregistered/unidentified problem and thus could be destroyed through something super simple it didn't expect. Say it knew about ice but not tar, then something *unknown and tarry* hits the cooling vent 2 seconds into the mission. Now its overheating thousands of miles away with nobody to fix it. If a human is there, it can find a way to clean the tar off and maybe add programming about the new unknown tar after. So its not necessarily "the fear of death" rather a robots lack of ability to appropriately, and spontaneously, respond to multiple forms of an unknown lethal force.

2001 A Space Odyssey is looked at more as a piece of art. Interstellar is going to be remembered as an experience. Literally every aspect of this movie, whether its the acting, direction, cinematography, the editing, the sound design, THE MUSIC, set design, and writing(debatable)...is firing on all cylinders. It represents the peak of filmmaking. Seriously, if you sat down and really thought about "what" this movie is about, like really thought about all its themes, all its layers of depth and what its trying to say, your gonna come to only one conclusion. Its about Everything. I remember seeing this movie in IMAX on the first day of release, planned it perfectly to make sure i got there early to get center seats and not too close to the screen. Right after Cooper pleads to Dr. Mann not to dock and then Mann blew himself up, Cooper accelerates towards the Endurance and Dr. Brandt then asks Cooper what he's doing, and he just says..."docking" (Cue Hanz Zimmer's score). I lost my shit in the theater, I got goosebumps and literally leaned forward and audibly said pretty loudly "what...the...fuck!?!". As the scene went on I remember thinking, Nolan... you crazy bastard , you just cranked the intensity up to a 10. Then the music tipped it over to an 11. That moment, that sequence with that music and the sound just blasting. Sensory Overload...I will never forget the experience

Thanks to Dr. Tyson for his knowledge, sense of humor, and his time! (Only a little bit disappointed he couldn't help us understand how the three seashells work.)

I think this is the most sins they ever removed

It’s always entertaining going back to this video during college(specifically for engineering) and finding myself repeating in my head all the things this movie actually got right when Jeremy tries to sin them before Tyson actually can offer the rebuttals to remove said sins, especially when as a young teen watching this I found myself immediately agreeing with Jeremy only to (about a year later) be astonished at watching this video and hearing all the reasons why it’s not fake. That amazement is why I’m working in engineering so that I can work with and help update the advanced technology that always astounded me growing up.

5:04 didnt cooper station end up near saturn when cooper finally arrived? im assuming humanity in the milky way continued evolving at that station and was able to create the wormhole there, which is why it's near saturn. seems odd to consider that a sin, i think its a pretty cool detail

You can’t write a note, the film explains he can only affect gravity across the dimensions. Plus HE DOESN’T HAVE A PENCIL AND PAPER

In a world running short of food, the protagonist drives his truck through a corn field...destroying acres of corn

What’s a sin is that you did not removed any sin for the incredible score Hans Zimmer did for this film

The truck can still drive because its a dually. You can clearly see at 0:44 that it has 4 wheel on each end of the axle. Meaning that if one of them goes flat, the truck can still drive. Disappointed that Neil missed this. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

So Matt Damon is stranded on another planet, awaiting rescue. Sounds familiar.

Hooooow can you sin the daughter goodbye scene? Cried like a baby

A lot of the science related sins were adressed in the movie, like the one about communicating in the tesseract. The movie explicitly states that the only way coop can communicate with his daughter is through manipulating gravity, and that he cant actually go into the past to “pass a note” or talk to his daughter. Also i feel like any sins relating to the inside of the black hole shouldnt count as its entirely theoretical

You know a movie is a perfect when the biggest complaint is that the actors are in other movies

I'd knock down a sin for this movie muting the explosions in outer space to give us that feeling of space's emptiness and FINALY some realism concerning outer space and sound (or lack of it).

All jokes aside, very grateful to be alive during the time this movie was produced. I literally think about some aspect of it everyday

13:23 if you watched the movie you would've watched the movie you could've seen that Dr Mann throws cooper's comms piece away

14:16 Cooper: "What happens if he blows the airlock?" TARS: "Nothing good." CinemaSins: "Thanks for a helpful and precise answer." TARS has a discretion setting.

CinemaSins: 104 Sins in Interstellar Comment section: 16900 Sins in this Video

I love CinemaSins but I love Interstellar even more.

When you realize that on millers planet, this movie has barely been out for longer than an hour

Sins 57 to 59. EXACTLY. The way the scene played out was NOWHERE near 3 hours. Barely an hour had gone by. They knew time was precious so they are out of the ship as soon as they land. Walk about 200 meters to the crash site before a wave descends upon them. Matthew's character is still wet and they are both breathing hard before the next wave is upon them. I have no problem with them being down there for 3 hours, but at least edit the scene so it feels like 3 hours have passed. If the 45 to an hour is how long before the next wave comes along or how long before they can start the engines, that still would not account for a 3 hour period on the planet. It was either badly written or badly edited. I had the same issue with the playing of time in Dunkirk. The "week" at The Mole did not feel like a week. It felt like it played out over the course of the night.

“How does a computer so exactly calculate its humor setting?” 75% = a joke in every 3 out of 4 phrases, much like your videos 😉

How is leaving Earth via worm whole easier than fixing Earth? Have you ever watched a political debate?

It was clear you were kinda struggling to find sins in that movie. It is truly a masterpiece.

All jokes aside, I LOVE this film. Despite its flaws I love everything about this movie, mostly the music

No way you are sinning the absolutely jaw dropping foreshadowing of the "I don't think the bookshelf is trying to talk to you"

13:34 Its because Matt Damons character removed the long range transmitter from Mcconaughey's helmet.

There is a gargantuan sin at the heart of this movie. While in the black hole/tesseract Cooper says “They” (meaning some unknown aliens) didn’t bring them there, but “We brought ourselves.” - implying that humans from the future gave them the wormhole eventually leading to the tesseract. Which of course begs the question, if future humans exist, then why would they need saving in the past at all?

It's been 8 years already but I still think about this movie to this day. Hell, I'm glad it's still alive and popular especially with tiktok using Hans Zimmer's amazing soundtrack for videos. Shows that if something's a masterpiece, it'll be revered as rightfully so.

If the robot states that it is 90% truthful, is that statement only 90% true? Is the robot actually only 81% truthful?

extra sin: Matt's grandchildren and their kids and kids' kids etc. all seem to ignore him for the most part when he's in his daughter's hospital room. this is their ancestor who is a walking breathing miracle and their forefather whom they've never met and they barely acknowledge him.

There were definitely a few sins that can be attributed to not paying attention. For instance when “space scientist explains wormholes to space scientist” you missed the part where Cooper ISN’T a scientist but a pilot. Or “why don’t they have comms?” When Mann just seconds before rips the comm attachment off Coopers helmet. There’s a few more of these.

The gravitational force needed to slow time to the point where 1 hour equates to 7 years would crush them and the ship to the surface. Not just make walking a little difficult. But who cares, it makes for an amazing scene

At the docking scene you should have just reset the sin counter.

The reason he could reach inside the glass is due to the function of the fourth and fifth dimensions. Just like how in 3d you could reach into the internal organs of a 2d creature, the same logic can be applied to the third dimension. It’s just hard to understand since we don’t see any more dimensions, but a 4d/5d creature would be able to reach inside any 3d object. Since he is in a 5d dimension, he’s able to reach into the glass on the watch.

My roommate dragged me to see this film after he had already seen it, saying beforehand, it was already his favorite film of all time. And I'm glad I got to see it in theaters. Seeing the black hole blew me away.

I’m fairly new to the channel but I’m soooooo glad NGT didn’t pull a Kevin Smith on this one. He stayed in his lane and let the comedians be funny on their own show. Amazing amazing video!

Interstellar is a *SCI-FI* movie that uses physics theories to make the movie seem like it is real. Sins count reduced to: 0

Interstellar; the only movie where the revoked sins actually impacted the total.

Did y'all notice how as the wave gets closer on millers planet the music gets more intense and as it passes it eases off

The banter of Jeremy trying to sin this and having sins removed via “science” always gets me.

Honestly I don't know why people cant sit and watch movies that are longer than 2 hours these days. If anything it definitely makes the money you spent going to the theater more worth it! Especially if it was in IMAX.

The saying goodbye to his daughter scene was long, but absolutely necessary imo.

Every single one of those sins was a very emotionnally powerful scene that you dont have the ability to comprehend

15:54 I'm surprised you didn't mention the fact that an intergalactic spacecraft had an ejection seat to begin with. You would think the engineers would save the extra space / utility for something else lol

You gotta admit, even with any plot holes and scientific inaccuracies, it was a fantastic movie.

"Thelma and Louise'ing" as a verb. That's a cinema win.

Please more Dr. Tyson his facts make me chuckle like hell

You obviously missed a few things. The book case thing where he was able to manipulate the watch and push the books by creating gravity waves which supposedly travel through time. So he wasn't physically passing through the tesseract to push books.

Everything Wrong With interstellar Answer: Nothing...

I did’t mind waiting 45 minutes for them to reach the space, because those were beautiful 45 minutes and I enjoyed it.

The Dr. Reinhardt audio clip at the end was gold.

Never got to see this in theaters, but you better believe I’m getting the nicest possible projector and screen so I can watch this on my own ‘big screen’!

at 13:34, they can't hear Dr. Mann's comms because he switched his long range off. (it shows him doing this right before they jump down the hill) :P

The fact that the movie was able to create a visual representation of the Black Hole before we got our first picture of a black hole just through math Edit : Looks like we have some astronomers in the comment section Edit 2: Looks like after 10 months the argument finally ended, 200 replies later Edit 3: make that 300 additional replies

This video is seven years old, yet it feels like one hour.

funny as always lol, lots of good points, but if you watch kip thorne’s talks, some of the science sins won’t be sins. also he knew about edmund’s and brandt’s relationship because brandt did have a tell. edmund’s was the only one she referred to with his first name, for the others she used their last names. also in the scene with the indian drone, he got control over the drone right before the emergency stop and sent it back behind them. that’s why it flies back into view after they stopped and got out.

How is it a sin for him to show up before they launch and they need a pilot? He gave himself the coordinates to go there lol

I thought Cooper communicated through the tesseract using gravity, that's why he couldn't send a note. Been a while since I've seen the movie, but if iirc that's what was said.

Most of these sins are just "I don't know how that works" that have explanations.

I'm glad I gave this movie a second shot because it really was a pretty good movie!

Cinema sins: everything wrong with interstellar *THE COUNCIL HAS FOUND YOUR SIN UNFORGIVEABLE*

The Truck is a "dually" - that is, two tires on each side of the rear axle. If one tire on one side is flat, the other tire will work just fine if there is no heavy load in the back, which there wasn't.

THIS MOVIE IS INCREDIBLE. It crushed my heart. Never cried so hard.

"I couldn't understand the physics behind the movie" *adds 100 sins* 💀

CinemaSins: *sins movie* Neil deGrasse Tyson: "I'mma stop ya right there kiddo."

Fun fact, during the time they were in Miller's planet (water planet), every 1.25 seconds, you can hear a tick. Every one of those ticks is a day passing on Earth compared to the time flow they experience there. I did the math and one hour of those ticks is around seven years. Love the attention to detail!

I always love the sudden Wes Bentley in every movie his in.

Damn right you take a sin off for the crying scene. He didn't even play it and just the two seconds it was on the screen made me instantly remember it and my eyes were welling up again. That's how impactful it was. 💥

Still love this movie. Now I feel like re-watching it for the 100th time.

Am I the only one who thinks that a fear of death would probably be easier to program into a robot than a versatile sense of humor?

The main thing that annoys me is the inconsistency of the corn. In the beginning it’s at its peak height, but hasn’t tasseled yet. Then in the flat tire scene it’s all tasseled. The next shot it’s pre-tassel, and then there’s combined in the fields when the corn is nowhere near harvest season.

1 hour has passed on Miller's planet since this video was uploaded.

Neil deGrasse Tyson has a voice like butter.

At Sin 82, the reason why the rest couldn't hear the communication between Matt and Matthew was because Matt took off his helmet radio chip. Whatever you call that.

and after a science degree, 25 years of work experience, and growing up a farmer, with quantum physics books in my library......this movie is both fun and tugged at the heartstrings.......if i had a heart (science majors have to generally shift that work to the liver, it's a long story.....)

I feel vad for the people who go to watch movies with him

"Can we just all agree that they're good astronauts who will do all the technical things that astronauts do and get moving already?" No, no we can't. Because in any other video you would have sinned them for NOT showing you these types of things.

In defense of the flat tire argument. Its a dually, meaning it has 4 rear tires, 2 on each side, so technically it can still drive with a flat in the rear. It probably won't feel that great but you can do it lol

This movie never fails to make me cry

Fun fact in the scene where they show the black hole and you go around the ring of it, it took around 100 hours to render each frame

Sins off for the Soundtrack!!!

5:25 yes 3.5 minutes of goodbye daughter But I think this scene should get a sin removed, because of how realistic this scene is You dont wanna go to your room, say „bye see ya“ to your daughter and leave, right? Cooper tried so hard to get a memorial and emotional goodbye, but his daughter keeps making stuff more complicated

A "singularity" theoretically can be a place where you are mashed into paste inside of a black hole or a point in space and time where things converge, like another dimension or the future or another galaxy.

this move is one of the best movies to ever be done. and the soundtrack is by far the best ever.
