hmm.

it seems to vary. i saw some reports of audio issues on the blu forum. as I mentioned the only part I could not understand was what Michael Caine's last few words were.. but i got the gist of it from the subsequent scenes. everything else was perfect at my screening :manny:

It was very different than Caine's mumbling...which I didn't have trouble understanding.

It was literally dialog being drowned out by deafening sound effects and score.

I just got back from seeing it again. A couple of things:

I previously saw it in 70mm IMAX and did notice some "problems" with the sound mix... to me it sounded fairly intentional.. mostly loud noises or overwhelming music covering up some dialogue. I saw it in a regular digital theater today and all dialogue was crystal clear. Supposedly Nolan personally supervised the sound mix for 70mm IMAX prints and even sat in the Chinese theater in LA to test the sound. The initial complaints about the sound mix came from that location so maybe it is all intentional. Who knows

The third act:
It felt way less jarring seeing it the second time around. I still thing the whole bit about communicating a complex scientific formula through morse code using analog watch hands is absurd but I'm not sure how else Nolan could have written the final act. He wanted to show that through continued exploration humans have learned the ability to harness other dimensions. To that end, he was able to show what kind of implications that could have in a simple, understandable way.

I definitely need to read the old script to see what changes were made but from that shytty reddit summary it sounded like it was probably less mass audience friendly with more hard sci-fi stuff.

Hopefully the box office isn't too disappointing for the studio execs because the more original, ambitious films we get the better. They showed five trailers before the movie:

Avengers (comic book based, producer controlled, cash cow) :ld:

Hunger Games (tween drama, white washed, young adult book based) :manny:

Ron Howard's Moby dikk movie (classic literature based, already been depicted in film 15 times according to Wikipedia) :scust:

Exodus (biblical based, white washed, already depicted in film 7 times according to Wikipedia):beli: :pacspit:

American Sniper (original movie, based on "America's deadliest sniper", probably filled with pro-war and pro-imperialist propaganda.) :mjpls:

Duuuuuvaaaaal!!
Yeah, I had a heard time hearing dialogue in two scenes. The audio issues makes me wonder if this movie was made for the Atmos system. The low dialogue occurring because key monitors were missing maybe.

I think Inarritu has the best director oscar on lock


I couldn't understand a fukking word Michael Caine said when he was dying. When they cut to Chastain she would basically summarize what he said with her reactions so :yeshrug:


As far as Oscars go, my money is on Foxcatcher to sweep Picture, Director and Actor for Carrell. Bennett Miller won best director at Cannes. Not that that really means anything for the oscars though.

Also from the films I have seen I would personally give the director nod to Linklater for Boyhood.

Inarritu would probably be my runner up so far but I haven't seen Whiplash, Inherent Vice or Foxcatcher

As a space nerd I refuse to watch trailers apart from ones that pop up on tv/in public, and I'm not reading any fukking plots or spoilers. I checked IMDB though and it's got 9.1:ohhh:

Interstellar had quite a lot of flaws but unlike Dark Knight Rises I was more forgiving due to the sheer ambition and originality of the film. I'll give it 9/10, would have been 10/10 if the ice planet, editing, music & exposition were better managed.

Those worm holes though :ohhh:
Agreed. I'd give it an 8 though because that black hole scene really put me off. I don't like how it was presented at all. Besides that it was a Really great movie. That scene really rubbed me the wrong way

This. I give it a 9/10. Sure it has flaws but Nolan films require a slight open mind anyway.

I posted this somewhere else, but...just some nitpicks and thoughts. I liked this movie, but I feel like it should have been either turned into 2 movies to flesh out some of the dope shyt that was just honestly skipped, and to improve the, honestly, pretty bad pacing

I want to know at least a little bit about Hathaway's trip to that planet and discovering the expedition there. I know that shyt could have been tough as fukk for her to do on her own without any of the dope robot things.

Speaking of which....:lupe:

I could stand for watching an entire movie about TARS and those robots. McM mentioned shortly in there something about it being used for military in the past. Yeah. I want to see those things on a battlefield. No fukking doubt. The robot was just really cool and they didn't go to in depth onwhat the fukk they're meant for or how they work or who they were created by, and if you ask me, the things one of if not the most high tech thing in the fukking movie until the future scenes. I mean, the thing was a fukking AI that could function, seemingly without any sort of hard to manage power system, and could perform insane tasks and move at fast speeds. I need more of that fukking thing

Also, I REALLY REALLY REALLY wish they would have given us at least a montage or ANYTHING about how Murph's plan to get everyone off of Earth worked out. I mean, the movie truly did drag on at times with seemingly pointless exposition, while kinda glossing over shyt that I feel should have been handled more intricately. That is something I really wanted to see, because the science behind it all is really fukking cool, but they didn't even glance over it. That's the type of shyt I crave. If you're going to go hardcore sci-fi like half of this film tries to do, you need to do it. I feel like some of the more incredible shyt was cut out for sketchy drama.

There were probably 2 moments in the film where I got emotional. When Cooper came back and sat down and watched those videos from his son. Fuuuuuuck. That shyt was hard, man. Sad as hell. Kinda upset they glossed over the son also. Didn't even mention him when he got back to Earth. That kid got the short end of the stick.

The other moment was of course at the end with his daughter. That was fukked up, but the moment was ruined for me when just like that he leaves her again. bytch is like 100 years old and you've only been around for like 11 of those years. He is officially the worst father since Goku.:pachaha:

You know, I really do have really fond memories of this movie now that I think of it. I was simply in awe at a lot of it. It kinda gave me a vibe of what I wish the Star Trek films were. They need to focus more on exploring new worlds and seeing crazy shyt. I wish that this movie had more time to explore other worlds, because the possibility of life on other planets, and general space exploration is probably the easiest way to suck me into a story. Its just that that one fukking scene with the ghost.....ugh. I guess some things just aren't meant to be visualized in such a way.
