Fans are just noticing disturbing detail in Interstellar after the film gets re-released

Interstellar fans have noticed a disturbing detail after the film was re-released and you’re not going to believe it.

10 years on from its original release to theaters, Christopher Nolan’s most memorable film was given a lease of new life after it was screened again by IMAX for eager fans.

However, those who are watching it again have noticed something, and it changes everything.

If you haven’t watched the flick yet, it’s probably one of the best movies ever made.

I’m not even joking.

Not only does it have the most amazing visual effects, its scientific accuracy, and cast of Hollywood A-listers really sets it apart from anything else you’ve ever watched before.

It stars Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Timothée Chalamet, Jessica Chastain, Matt Damon, and Michael Caine, and more, and it tells the sad story of a man trying to save humanity at the cost of himself and his life.

Originally, it came out in 2014, and now that people are watching it again in 2024, some things are being realized for the very first time.

Particularly the movie’s time theory.

The film's storyline follows the life of farmer and ex-NASA pilot, Joseph Cooper (McConaughey), who pilots a spacecraft with a team of researchers.

Hoping to find a new planet for humans to inhabit after Earth becomes uninhabitable, they land on Miller’s planet.

Miller’s planet isn’t normal, though and it experiences 'time dilation'.

Time dilation is where time slows down when under the influence of a strong gravitational field, and because it’s right next to the gigantic black hole called Gargantua, it’s certainly got enough gravitational pull to mess up its time.

As Miller's planet is near a black hole, it’s experiencing time at a much slower rate than Earth.

Those who have been watching it, have clicked that something isn’t quite right with it.

Not only is the planet majorly influenced by gravity and motion, but it also links in with Einstein's theory of special relativity, which revolves around the idea that the faster an object accelerates, the slower it moves through time.

The way that this is displayed in the flick is through a strange ticking sound that happens rhythmically throughout the researcher’s time on the planet.

Each tick then represents one day on Earth.

So, fans have figured out that for the characters, while they think it was only three hours and 17 minutes they spent there, it was actually 23 years on Earth.

After re-watching Interstellar, fans have now clocked just how long they would have been on Miller’s planet in the 10 years since the film was released.

They believe that it would be an hour and a half.

“That's so insane,” one fan said on Reddit. “The entire story of Miller's planet is just so horrific and terrifying.”

They added: “The sky high waves. The time dilation. That planet was never meant for humans.”

True that.

Speaking about how fans have continued to connect with the movie’s plot a decade on, Nolan told The Associated Press: “I was just so gratified by the response. It’s really thrilling when people respond to your work at any point.

“But 10 years later, to have new audiences coming and experiencing it in the way that we’d originally intended it on the big IMAX screens and in particular on those IMAX film prints? It’s really rewarding to see that it continues to have a life.”
