You can't watch Gravity THEN Interstellar. Interstellar will just feel like a bad knock off. Watch it first.
Kinda like when I have kids they are going to watch the Hobbit movies long before I let them watch the Lord of The Rings movies. I bet the Hobbit movies are pretty awesome if you have never seen LOTR before.
It's ironic, my kids already knew the basic story from all the LEGO games. They got bored of 1-3 when we tried to get them up to speed and fell asleep or zoned out. Granted 1-3 were pretty shit compared to 4-6.
Maybe it was all in her mind! Sneaky aliens wanted to sort-of have contact but in a way that no one could ever prove! Aliens or recorder failure?!! Gah.

Interstellar is great, but is best served on a nice system with yuuge image and big sound.
Likewise with Interstellar, but Gravity must be watched in a gigantic theater with perfect sound and 3D. If you aren't doing that, then don't bother. The story is typical and rather meh. You can complain about physics and all that nonsense like a nerd would, but none of that is the point: Gravity is simply meant to be experienced like a ride.
Yeah, I agree completely. Gravity at home is just not worth it. It needs to be seen in 3D and in theater. The movie will be ruined if you don't at least have a very premium home theater system and a giant tv. It will be incredibly boring otherwise. The opening is one long, continuous shot. If by the first cut you aren't sucked in, just turn it off. If you power through it, you'll want your 90 mins back and hate the movie.
Interstellar does have a bit more story, but it's really amazing to be seen in theater. I was lucky enough to see it in 70mm IMAX and it was beautiful. Odds are, I'll probably never see another new release movie on film again. If you do see it, remember that it's a story about a father and his daughter. Everything else is just the setting for that story and not the actual story. It's not about saving the world, it's about saving his daughter.
Or that she's just listening with headphones.
Most of the time it'll be static.
Another solution: Send a film camera if digital gets scrambled because of reasons.
Or use something that's sufficiently radiation-hardened to survive exposure to Jupiter's radiation environment.

I'm interested by the idea of how difficult it would be to communicate with aliens.
Ignoring the likelihood that there would be a huge gap in intelligence and technology, such that it could be like a human trying to have meaningful communication with an earwig, there are some other things that require a good understanding of what Earth life is like.
"How is your day?"
What's a day?
One rotation of a planet? Maybe if you're on Venus, a day is a bit longer than a year. If you're on something like Uranus, a "day" is altogether different. If you're talking with a subterranean life form, "day" might not mean anything at all.
Maybe aliens don't have circadian rhythms, so our recurring need for sleep that is implied in that question would be unknown.
We're social life forms, and sometimes have need to care (or appear to care) about the condition of others. That concept is also implicit in that simple question.
"It's raining."
Which "it" do you mean? What is rain? Why do you care about rain? Is that a cry for help? Aren't you worried that all that dangerous water could injure you in some way?
These aliens magically read her mind and create an image that her primate brain won't completely lose its shit over, but is still somewhat surreal, yet is also intelligible.
I guess it would have been a more complicated and drawn-out story though if they communicate exclusively by emitting a language encoded in low-level microwave radiation.

Uh, that makes no real sense. Gravity was more of a suspense-thriller based in space, Interstellar is not perfect but it's damm good and it requires you to think, I'd say it's 8/10
You shouldn't have bothered watching Gravity. It's not really a movie or even a serviceable story. It's just a thrill ride. In an IMAX 3D theater, it was an awesome experience...just like a much more modern version of a Universal Studios cinametic thrill ride. You won't really get that at home.
Moon. That one is great. Focus on the movie and eliminate distractions. You'll enjoy it more.
Moon is a Twilight Zone clone, it builds to a tension but never delivers the chills you expect. It's not underrated, it's ineffective.
Interstellar is slow and boring for 3/4 of the film, then moves on to some awesome visuals but completely stops making sense, even for someone who understands the conceptual physics behind the story.
Gravity idk because i wouldn't go watch a romcom in space film.
Agreed, Edge of Tomorrow is the modern Tom Cruise Sci Fi worth watching. I still like Minority Report best out of Cruise sci-fis though, it has done a better job predicting the future than any movie since Robocop 1.
