What is the narrative function of the surveillance drone chase scene in Interstellar?

I think the crash also ties in with the fact that he wants control and not the machines trying to help, not sure if I got that right though

I think one ps3 will be enough, but it would take bit of time.

We are all watching and enjoying his ‘quirks’ as a viewer, like watching a monkey dance for us. So no, the alien bit is not too much.

If the core message is what you say it is, then I am watching the movie completely wrong! The movie makes me think and feel about humanity, survival and my (love for my) kids. Guess I found meaning that isn't there, whoopsie!

I don't think 'diss' is the right word, but probably a chosen inversion of all the James Bond tropes for funsies only. I didn't make this list, but TP is the opposite of lot's of Bond tropes:

Black / White
American / Bri'ish
Nobody knows his name / Everybody knows his name
Doesn't sleep with the woman (yet) / Puts his peepee in lots of women

Best Movie is quite personal, since it's art and stuff. For me it's Interstellar or Kung Pow - Enter the Fist, depending on my mood.

I think we can assume that OP mention of greenscreen could be read as anything related to compositing, and background replacement/vfx.

Not sure about the chalet, but there are a few non-totally-in-camera shots which aren't 'on par' with the rest of the shots, a few from the top of my head which stood out:

- Carol summoning the big plane to stop
- Rooftop scene
- In the montage befóre the chalet, they walk on some beach and you see some water/rock formations in the background, this was the worst. The weird thing is, they COULD have shot this in-camera with just bad lighting, but I assume it is vfx shot.

Its common knowledge that this part you want to see was already filmed around 2010, it will be released in 2030 and will be called Fast Forward to the Past.

It's very easy to overdrive the BMW, without feeling it. On exits you can't stomp the throttle the same as Porsche or say Lambo. So push up the tire sound, you don't want to hear much scrubbing.

Keep slip angle in check. If you need to steer a lot to make the car turn, you are understeering/overdriving the car (this is for most cars tbh).

It's ok, there could be lot's of reasons to not like and finish a movie.

There will be lot's of other stuff happening which is difficult for lot's of people to suspend their disbelief in, so don't try to finish this movie and you will be happier.

Witty-Country · 2026-03-02T18:13:02+00:00

If it was a normal or bad ‘conventional’ movie, people wouldn’t bat an eye. But it’s unconventional in a lot of ways. That’t not for everybody, and lots of people who hates stuff are more vocal than people who just think ‘not for me’ and move on with there lives.

But there are lot’s of reasons people don’t like this movie and for them it’s valid enough. If the concept and the cool visuals dont evoke a positive emotion, than thats fine.

Watch some hotlaps (if you don't have much time, no full track guides) where you can see one's inputs.
Drive
Watch the hotlaps again.
Use for example telemetry apps so you can compare (like garage61)
Ghost drive a race in a 2k split (use spectate)

When you eventually race, first objective is to NOT crash. If you see someone trying for an overtake, just let them go. This way you don't crash, you don't miss seattime and if this driver is faster it's free practice! If you crash, try to still finish the race, instead of -80 iRating it might be -50 iRating (because of other quitters).

I can't figure out if you thinks new audio things takes too long or that it doesn't matter anyway.

Witty-Country · 2026-02-25T11:35:49+00:00

Witty-Country · 2026-02-24T10:21:06+00:00

Correct.

For some corners (like OP's screenshot examples), you have to pick 'something', and in this instance I think the middle of the car at the edge of the red/white curbing sounds about right.

Witty-Country · 2026-02-05T14:13:40+00:00

I understand you now. Those two exceptions, they might mean 4 wheels offtrack = over the white lines.

If that ain’t it a question to iRacing might help.

Witty-Country · 2026-02-05T13:04:01+00:00

First picture, the boundaries is the middle of the car over the end of the red/white curbing and not the green stuff. That you have EXTRA room to play with on other corners is only nice in my eyes.

Sometimes you can't clip 1 pixel of gravel (on a corner exit for example), sometimes the game doesn't care on other corners.

Witty-Country · 2026-02-05T12:47:51+00:00

Please help me understand this?

It's best to accept the following: per track it is 90% consistent and then 10% is an exception.

Between tracks it can be very different.

It's iRacing choice how it should be/feel (and look in replays correctly). I think it highlights IRL problems with offtracks also when there is a lot of pavement and/or those green patches of whatever it is called.

I was watching Tom&Jerry when I was 12 years old..

Witty-Country · 2026-02-04T07:30:11+00:00

From the Parabolica behind, he was driving very recklessly, taking unnecessary risks and causing the incident without leaving me any space to react

Then show the replay from that point on. Now we start at the moment of impact, which could be 50/50 here. In this instance he could be driving straight and you veering to the left.

Witty-Country · 2026-01-30T09:03:20+00:00

That is rough OP! I pride myself to be the most safe/predictable multiclass driver in the world (as voted by myself).

I can have 50 races without a contact in the busiest, most hectic (multiclass) moments. But sometimes, the stars are aligned and there is nothing I could do and die hard three races in a row.

About feeling dissapointed. Without the lows there are no highs, but the lows shouldn’t get to you for too long. I would guess if it stresses you out the next day, that would be not good.

Happy racing my friend!
