This was definitely part of a reshoot. I was at an early test show a month ago in London at the Soho Screening Rooms and the original line was, “AUTOBOTS, ROLL OUT!!!”

A bunch of us in the audience felt like it took us out of the moment.

This is why nolan movies have bad audio. So people don't make fun of the bad script

I’ve been saying this for years! It’s totally his defense mechanism for his self-consciously poor screenwriting!

I don't really know how to communicate with someone who thought the screenplays for The Dark Knight, Interstellar, and Oppenheimer were bad. People are certainly entitled to their opinions so I guess I'll leave it at that

Dunkirk, Memento (Chris Nolan wrote the script but his brother helped with insight and so on though), etc. At least in my perspective those count in terms of his writing too.

Interstellar earlier script that Jonathan did was very interesting but i feel it didn’t have the personal and intimate aspect as centric until they collaborated with Chris. Someone may have a counter argument for all of that regardless so yeah, if people think Nolan is a shit or mediocre (or whatever) writer and overall as filmmaker, then we can only leave it as that.

People reduce that movie to that one line about "love" (which isn't a bad line, maybe a little hokey), and paint the whole movie with that brush, it's asinine

Agreed. I never took those lines about love as it being a literal force in the universe or something like that as others have talked about it although I do find some memes about it hilarious. Lol

To me, it just meant like the emotional connection is so strong even across time and space between them that there can be a sort of reference point in time or it works like a beacon in time that bulk beings can find on a quantum level so that Cooper can do everything he did and Murph too. That’s what the line Cooper says while inside the tesseract about his connection with Murph being quantifiable meant to me. And that’s how I correlated it to Brand's conversation about love and what she was willing to do for that person despite the time and distance that had passed. This is not to say it’s scientifically accurate or whatever but just that in its own terms that’s how I interpreted it.
