Christopher Nolan was initially concerned that a scientifically accurate depiction of a black hole would not be visually comprehensible to an audience, and would require the effects team to unrealistically alter its appearance. The visual representation of the black hole in the film does not account for the Doppler effect which, when added by the visual effects team, resulted in an asymmetrically lit black and blue-black hole, the purpose of which Nolan thought the audience would not understand.

As a result, it was omitted in the finished product.

Scott Foundas, chief film critic at Variety , said that Interstellar is "as visually and conceptually audacious as anything Nolan has yet done" and considered the film "more personal" than Nolan's previous films. Oliver Gettell of the Los Angeles Times reported that "film critics largely agree that Interstellar is an entertaining, emotional, and thought-provoking sci-fi saga, even if it can also be clunky and sentimental at times.

That's almost something you expect from Tarkovsky or Malick , not a science fiction adventure movie.

There is only one way to ensure mankind's survival: A newly discovered wormhole in the far reaches of our solar system allows a team of astronauts to go where no man has gone before, a planet that may have the right environment to sustain human life. The visuals, the score, the acting, were all amazing. The plot is definitely one of the most original I've seen in a while.

Most of the critic reviews have said that some bits are a little too unbelievable, but I have to disagree. Yes, there were some parts that were definitely in the "fi" part of sci-fi. But the thing is, 'Interstellar' deals with concepts that we know very little about. We have no idea what the 4th or 5th dimension is like, or what it would be like to go through a wormhole or a black hole.

I don't think it's fair to call something unbelievable, when we have absolutely no idea what WOULD be believable in those circumstances. Either way, excellent writing from the Nolan brothers.

The visuals were outstanding, and will no doubt be nominated for an Oscar. The performances were excellent, though nothing Oscar worthy, as is the case with most of Nolan's films 'The Dark Knight' being the obvious exception. Hans Zimmer's score was amazing and blended perfectly with the film.

Hamilton was always associated with an extravagant, romantic, high-adventure style of SF, perhaps best represented by his novel The Star Kings. As the SF field grew more sophisticated, his brand of extreme adventure seemed ever more quaint, corny, and dated.

In this more mature phase of his career, Hamilton moved away from the romantic and fantastic elements of his earlier fiction to create some unsentimental and realistic stories, such as "What's It Like Out There?

Though Hamilton and Leigh Brackett worked side by side for a quarter-century, they rarely shared the task of authorship; their single formal collaboration, Stark and the Star Kings originally intended for Harlan Ellison 's The Last Dangerous Visions , would not appear in print until In the early s, it has been speculated that when Brackett had temporarily abandoned SF for screenwriting, Hamilton did an uncredited revision and expansion of two early Brackett stories, "Black Amazon of Mars" and "Queen of the Martian Catacombs"—revised texts were published as the novellas People of the Talisman and The Secret of Sinharat Edmond Hamilton died in February in Lancaster, California , of complications following kidney surgery.

In the year before his death, Toei Animation had launched production of an anime adaptation of his Captain Future novels and Tsuburaya Productions adapted Star Wolf into a tokusatsu series; both series were aired on Japanese television in The Captain Future adaptation was later exported to Europe, winning Hamilton a new and different fan base than the one that had acclaimed him half a century before, notably in France and Germany. Joint interviews of Brackett and Hamilton were published in Tangent Summer , by Dave Truesdale [13] and Amazing Stories January , by Darrell Schweitzer [3] —the latter published several months after Hamilton's death, but conducted "much earlier", Truesdale attributes to Schweitzer.

The main series was followed by a set of seven novelettes from A space opera sequence based on the seminal "Crashing Suns". A space opera sequence: A crossover between this universe and Brackett's , "Stark and the Star Kings", was released in , having originally been submitted to The Last Dangerous Visions.

In , Haffner Press released the first two books in a program to collect all of Hamilton's prose work. A volume the first of six collecting the first four Captain Future novels also appeared at the same time. Early in , additional volumes were announced.
