Pre-watch thoughts: Big Hero 6 and Interstellar


So recently Big Hero 6 and Interstellar came out, and I've been hearing pretty good things about them!

 
(I see you there Hans. Wonder how many Easter eggs they've stuffed in this time...)

As of so far I've been trying to avoid spoilers and it's mostly been working. I say MOSTLY as people on Facebook and Twitter have exploded in feels all over my feeds haha. 
Sounds like something heartbreaking will happen in BH6 though, so I may have to steel myself for that.

Saw this BH6 character study on Facebook as well. Really love the differences that you can observe just from a person's movements.



Interstellar looks like it's gonna be a visual feast. *A* A friend kept ranting/raving about the actual science behind it though haha. Of course you can't expect everything to be scientifically accurate, but I read some articles online about how there was a TON of precise calculation for the visuals.
Check out these articles if interested! Here, here, and here.

SO! It's not just "oooh pretty", it's actually an extremely accurate representation of a black hole. Okok, knowing this, I'm definitely gonna keep an eye out when those scenes come on. >u<b

Random tidbit! Both features are pulling out some pretty impressive numbers tech-wise.
Apparently BH6 was rendered on a 55,000-core supercomputer, and Interstellar came close to 800 terabytes of data. I just thought that was kinda cool hehe. #themoreyouknow
 
Looking super forward to watching these!

...hopefully soon. 8'D
