[h=1]‘Interstellar’ Early Screenings Generate Positive Buzz[/h]

The calendar may have turned from summer to fall a while back, but that doesn’t mean audiences will be lacking the same kind of big budget spectacles they were treated to earlier this year. Amidst all the Oscar contenders, there will be major blockbusters making noise, include The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, and of course, Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar.



Given that the Dark Knight trilogy filmmaker is calling the shots and the film sports a star-studded cast that includes the likes of Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, and Jessica Chastain, it’s no surprise that Interstellar is one of the most-anticipated releases for the remainder of 2014. Nolan’s pedigree has even caused some generate awards buzz for the project, but can it live up to the hype? Based on the initial reactions, it sure seems like it can.



Paramount has begun the process of early screenings for both the movie press and general audiences, a move that has proved to be quite beneficial for the sci-fi epic. Reading through the reactions, it looks like Interstellar is yet another achievement for the fan-favorite auteur (read additional positive responses from regular filmgoers over at /Film):

As if the film needed more help selling tickets, these responses should just continue to add fuel to the fire that Interstellar is something worth seeing. Nolan appears to have impressed all corners of the Hollywood world, including famed director Edgar Wright – so that’s a promising development for fans hoping that the Inception helmsman would be able to continue his (arguably) career-long hot streak.


While Wright’s tweet will most likely hold the most weight with casual audiences (given his stature in the industry), the more interesting comments come from Noah Cowan of the San Francisco Film Society. From the beginning, there have been comparisons made between Nolan’s latest and Stanley Kubrick’s genre classic 2001: A Space Odyssey, but from the sound of it, Interstellar will be one-part homage and two-parts “rebuttal.”

Cowan calling the movie a “poem to light and gravity” plays along with the optimistic, hopeful nature of the film’s trailers – which to some played as a reaction to the latest wave of apocalyptic dystopia sci-fi flicks that spell doom and gloom. Interstellar obviously isn’t going to pull any punches when it comes to hard-hitting drama (see: McConaughey’s emotional farewell with his daughter), but it’s still looking to show off the wonders of human discovery and what we can accomplish when we put our mind to something. Maybe that was the original concept Nolan worked into the script when he joined the project.

The other takeaway from these reactions is that – as is par for Nolan’s course – the film is going to look spectacular on the big screen. The director has made great use of the IMAX format in the past. Nolan once again shot parts of his picture using IMAX cameras, and if the jaw-dropping visuals illustrated in the marketing materials didn’t give moviegoers enough motivation, word-of-mouth indicates that Interstellar is worth seeing in the most premium format available to you. This looks like a case where that extra surcharge is a smart investment.


One of Nolan’s trademarks as a filmmaker to this point is painting narratives on a very large canvas (Gotham City, people’s dreams, etc.) and finding a way to tell them in an intimate way that makes the final product go beyond the confines of its original premise. He’s always been one to inject heartfelt emotion and heavy personal stakes into his works, and Interstellar is shaping up to be no different. As we sit on the edge of our seats waiting to see if Cooper (McConaughey) can get back to his family, it looks as though we’re going to be in for one heck of a ride.

Interstellar will be in theaters November 7.Follow Chris on Twitter @ChrisAgar90.​

Because not every IMAX is shot in 3D and tbh this is much better, IMAX 2D is as good as 3D plus 300rs cheaper aswell.... though 3D is awesome with IMAX...interstellar coming on the 14th november is also not going to be IN 3D

Gonna go see this tomorrow, I have high hopes for this one, but so far the reviews say the movie is a bit too ambitious. That's what they said about Inception too so I'm expecting a variety of opinions from people once I walk out the theater.

Interstellar


Went into this movie having seen a bunch of reviews that criticized the movie, but I went with spirits up. I must say, one of the most gratifying cinematic experiences I've ever had. People had tears coming out of their eyes when the film ended as they stared at the blank screen with credits rolling; I found myself completely mesmerized with my group of friends just looking into space speechlessly.

This is, by far, Nolan's most elaborate and complex ideas put into film. The scope of the film far extends that of Inception - which is not only one of my favourite Nolan films but also favourites of all time. It can be so complex, however, that some things will straight up buzz past people. A lot to do with quantum-physics and space-time continuum - if that's your thing, you're gonna love this film.

The emotional impact this film brings to the screen is the highlight of this film. Some films focus too much on developing human characters or human elements to the story and it doesn't work out too well (Godzilla) but Interstellar knocks it out the park. The punch you get from a few scenes in this film are enough to jerk the tears of the manliest of men. The superb acting by the entire cast, along with a few surprises, added to that and just compounded the amount of depth the plot had to deliver.

The movie was pretty long but not a second passed by where I felt a scene was unnecessary or not entertaining, I was glued to the screen, holding my piss and struggling to keep my straight-out-of-a-day-of-class eyes open. I highly recommend you go see this in IMAX, if possible. It's an absolute spectacle.

The sound of this movie is pitch-perfect and I can say, without a doubt, that this movie wouldn't have reached the heights that it did without the most appropriate, thought-provoking, hope-seeking soundtrack provided by Hans Zimmer. Some scenes were just elevated to entirely new dimensions just owing to the soundtrack.

To conclude, its one of those movies where once you watched it, you feel a helpless need to discuss it with those around you and ask them to pool their opinions so you could learn more about the depth of the film and the symbolic artifacts that dictated much of the plot. I will most definitely be going for this film once again, but this film is definitely not for everyone.

10/10 without a doubt.​
