INTERSTELLAR

Ahh fame. :)

Going to see this tomorrow!

Saw it in full 70mm glory on IMAX, it was fantastic. THIS is the kind of blockbuster Hollywood should be delivering. As mentioned this pays homage to 2001 but also does a lot more. For all the grandeur and adventure it’s a story about a father and his daughter, with very poignant themes and scenes.

Just saw it in IMAX.  Being from Chicago I will say two thumbs up.  See it in IMAX if you can it’s epic.

By the way, I can’t imagine a better name for a black hole.  Appropriately enormous but with a softer side.  :wink:

I saw it again yesterday in  normal digital projection theater and the experience was quite different. I sat much closer to the screen than I normally would hoping to replicate the IMAX effect, but it didn’t feel the same. The audio portion was particularly lacking in comparison. In IMAX you can feel the sound all around you, the music reverberated and really gave weight to the scenes. The normal theater experience did not do that nearly as well. Felt much too flat and not quite bold enough.

Gaining more appreciation for the movie itself though.

Hoping to see it soon, do we get the same multi layers of story telling symbolic of Nolan’s writing style?

Uh… I guess you could say so. It is, like all Nolan movies I know, a little more complicated than your average action film. The effects of time dilation certainly play into that. There are different themes at work too. But it is does not pile one on top of the other in the same way that Inception did, if that is what you are thinking. Sometimes it takes a moment for your brain to catch up to what is going on though, which is cool.

I love that they named the black hole after “me”. :D

You know, that unrelenting force of the universe that sucks the life out of everyone it can, and screws with their minds.

Awesome. :)

But don’t buy into all this “at the heart of darkness there is light crap”!

Good movie.

I never really considered how accurate this is until now.

Sounds like a good movie.

Has anyone heard of the “Allies of Humanity”? Ran across it the other day and seemed interesting.
