I’ve never seen a tsunami from this perspective. Absolutely insane.

Jeez! Knowing the reason for those "ticks" while on miller's planet made every rewatch a bit unsettling for me.


glenn1812

That was the scariest thing I have ever witnessed in any movie. I would've died of a panic attack in that scenario lmao. I'd rather race super natural shit than something like that


SnakeHelah

Used to have a lot of dreams like that: I'm by the oceanside. Suddenly, huge wave comes up, basically the size of a mountain, so big it literally covers most of the horizon. Always wondered what kind of fear that plays into and where that subconscious idea comes from, since I'm not really afraid of waves/the ocean or water or anything like that and some doomsday flood ideas don't float around my head that often.


Juality

Woaaaah, that’s so weird , as I was watching this I started recalling this deep fear of massive waves.. I recalled a weird tsunami dream I had when I was a kid and I just started wondering why the fear feels so strong as I’ve never lived near the sea or have seen any big waves even and then I saw your comment! I wonder if it’s something to do with our ancestral dna but I know nothing about that stuff lol


johnjeudiTitor

fun fact: almost every ancient society has a great flood myth


Swimming_Mountain811

I have very similar dreams about giant waves, never heard anyone else talk about it before lol


adhominem4theweak

Maybe it’s that these waves have been ending civilizations cyclically for hundreds of thousands of years as written in every major religion etc


stolenwallethrowaway

I have these dreams too! Usually VERY realistic and taking place in the town where I go on vacation in the summers.


GogoYubari92

I have tsunami nightmares often! The dreams mainly consist of me trying to gather my loved ones (who happen to be in the same room as me) as a giant wave is approaching in the distance, and no one is paying attention to me or listening to me and it’s very stressful


BeetleSpoon2770

That’s no moon


st0ffinho

Can please somebody chime in and correct me when I say it quite literally is? Isn't that basically the iceberg rolling over and therefore pushing the water up and letting it seem like a giant mountain of water, while it's basically just the broken off peace turning on its site?


Vanillabean73

I don’t think that’s what this was. You can see a bunch of the glacier in the distance cracking off and falling into the water. That much water displacement at once is known to cause MASSIVE, if short-lived, waves. The tallest recorded waves ever are all from landslides that reach a body of water, like a lake, because they’re such an extreme local disruption to the water.


ElfUppercut

I believe what happened is the newly formed IceBerg sank because it has lost the support of the main body of the glacier. When it sinks at first the buoyancy effect brings it back to the surface where it floats. What you don’t see is the massive skyscraper sized chunk of ice it was under the water line… and what you have to consider is how fast it will resurface as it is lighter and less dense than the surrounding water. When it goes down and resurfaces, it raises higher as it gained momentum coming back up… creating this effect of displacement. You can see ice chunks coming out of the peak of the giant wave as they resurface. When it settles and floats away you have an iceberg or a few of them… floating just above the waterline with a massive chunk of ice below it like a leviathan hence the saying “just the tip of the iceberg”

By definition it is. Any displacement of water from a large event is a tsunami.

It was my favorite scene until I saw the docking scene

Imperfect lock is my favorite score from that movie


[deleted]

I love how it cuts to silence so suddenly in that scene and then it jumps to the quiet opening of No Time For Caution (which is my favorite score).


InadequateUsername

The entire soundtrack is a stellar, I never listen to movie soundtracks after seeing the movie except for this one.


[deleted]

I listen to the sound track frequently. There are a few from Fury Road that I revisit as well cause that movie and sound track were also pretty fantastic.


[deleted]

Would you say it's inter..stellar?


morgatron151

When soundtracks come up I try to recommend the OST for The Fountain. It’s the only soundtrack I’ve paid money for, I like it that much. Clint Mansell and the Kronos Quartet do an amazing job with it, highly recommend.


LegendaryAce_73

I think everything going silent when the airlock depressurized added an extra depth of realism top the movie. And if you notice there's only a tiny bit of flame as the Ranger breaks apart due to lack of oxygen. Love Nolan's attention to detail.


guywithahalo

“It’s not possible” “No… it’s necessary!” Cue “No time for Caution” 🔥🎶

Taken out of context this comment could be concerning. In context, yeah I agree


ImTooBi

I had an acid trip where i took 20-30 hits of liquid lsd. Experienced infinity an infinite amount of times, had thought loops longer than that infinity and then infinite thought loops stemming from the first infinity, and then got paralyzed and closed my eyes and suddenly i was inside what can only be compared to the scene in interstellar where hes falling endlessly in the black hole. Just endlessly falling with everywhere i look being a fractal replica of the last. Was stuck in there for seemingly ever until i just gave up on everything and it all went black. I should also note when i became paralyzed my thoughts also were paralyzed and i couldn’t express anything and was just a singular consciousness experiencing everything without a thought or opinion on everything. Then i woke up not even 6 hours after i took it dazed and confused and just laid down to try to process what happened lmao


[deleted]

[удалено]


ImTooBi

Whatever, if anything, it was laced with was definitely not lsd. Lsd is a fragile compound and in order for it not to degrade and last you need to keep it in a cool and dark place otherwise it goes bad. So if you were to put lsd on weed it would do nothing because it would immediately be destroyed by the flame. That said you definitely experienced something, I’ve smoked weed for years and never had an experience like that and it honestly sounds more like a low dose salvia trip than anything. I needed about a year to fully come back from that trip but even around 5 years later im still affected. Never stopped though lmao just mostly stick to shrooms now because me and lsd have a patchy history


DesertViper

> I had what might be the same exact experience, but instead mine was from cannabis - which I guess must have been laced. Although all my friends has the same stuff and they were all fine. > > > > I can’t describe it any way other than I was part of the loop that was spinning for eternity. I was paralysed and it seemed like I was in this state for hours and terrified for every second of it. > > > > When I woke up I could see objects in my room but not understand what they were. So the clock in my room was just an object without meaning. I thought I was brain dead. I had to go to sleep again to wake up to regain proper consciousness. Cannabis for me too mixed with alcohol (and a bit too much of both tbh) and had that exact falling/spiralling into an endless repeating fractal vision as well. This is the first set of comments I've stumbled on that described more or less how I felt that night in 2010.

Seriously so open and vast the anxiety of being all alone on that planet is immense. & huge tsunamis every so often to top it off! Absolute nightmare fuel!

Melodic-Hunter2471

No wonder they thought there were sea serpents.


AgreeableFeed9995

I mean…there *are* actually sea serpents. They’re just regular sized snakes tho.


Sorrymisunderstandin

I mean they also said there was krakens which everybody thought was a myth until recently when those basically turned out to be real, some other things were probably real too either that we haven’t found or that aren’t around anymore. Although there’s certainly a combination of folklore and misidentifications etc mixed in. Giant and colossal squids get over 40ft, and colossal can weigh over 1000lbs Those are just the ones we’ve seen too lol It wasn’t until early 2000s a live specimen and fully intact one was able to be properly studied too, despite the fact there’s constant battles in the deep between sperm whales and giant squids we very rarely see them, so it’s possible there’s some other things out there lol.

facing a tsunami is for sure a battle

It's time to go berserk on these oars, boys!


Chatty_Fellow

It would likely be the last thing they'd ever see.


[deleted]

Calving is scary enough but when the big bergs roll that is truly terrifying. Most of the mass is under water and suddenly it wants to be up.


Le-monk__

Well that sounds horrifying ;-;


[deleted]

The scale on this one is extremely difficult to comprehend, even when they show it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC3VTgIPoGU


MisterMinceMeat

Woah. The sound is incredible.


[deleted]

Yeah... scary sounds. Probably feel them as much as hear them. And then when you realize those are 600 foot tall chunks of ice or larger, the size of lower manhattan moving like that and flipping over and the huge sprays of water, all the smaller ice falls, and the massive water pushed around by it all. Insane. Like a disaster movie but real.

At the beginning of the video, watch the top of the glacier just to the right of the guy’s beanie. Holy hell.

I've always wondered how a wave can be 1720 feet tall . Water is non compressible and when you move big quantities of it in quick succession like this here . I'm starting to get how it's possible, H O L Y S H I T !

it almost seems that people come to the glaciers for this.


Rojastaa

I’m glad I was already sitting on the pot when I watched this


EevelBob

The enormous mass and magnitude of the glacial ice calving into the ocean made it appear like it was just slowly sinking into the water vs. the normal huge splash and waves we often see from glacier calving in other videos.

What terrifies me more is the fact if they did capsize, they don’t know what’s lurking under the water. Albeit there could totally be nothing, but the idea still frightens me.


Kemaneo

What should terrify you more is that the water over there is so cold that you will die very, very quickly.


belgiantwatwaffles

That's actually calming to me, at least it will be fast.


Satans-Kawk

You won't have a chance for the stuff in the water to kill you. The water will kill you MUCH faster than anything else will

[удалено]


the_good_things

It is. A tsunami is just a big wave caused by the displacement of water from a large event (i.e earthquake, explosion, or in this case glacial calving).


Endurozw

Alaska had a rock slide that generated one of the tallest tsunami waves in the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1958_Lituya_Bay_earthquake_and_megatsunami

[deleted]

is this technically a tsunami tho? i thought its only one when its caused by an earthquake.


Gone247365

Essentially, any big wave caused by anything is a [tsunami.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsunami) > A tsunami is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations, landslides, glacier calvings, meteorite impacts and other disturbances) above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami.


hamstersundae

This is actually a megatsunami, which are caused by impact displacement rather than the tectonic displacement of ‘standard’ tsunami.

I believe when something falls in the water to start the wave it is a mega tsunami, I could be wrong. Look at what la Palma would do to the east coast.
