- Thread starter manigamer
- Start date
Anybody know what the timings at IMAX are going to be for the first day? The staff doesn't know shit. And when should I get the tickets booked? Need around 15 of them.
cinestar is offering home delivery on imax interstellar, call them up and getit home delivered though no schedule for the timings for it are out yet, dunno how they are gonna give tickets for that LOL
Interstellar was a solid 9/10. Was not borded for even a second. And the IMAX quality was just <3
It's more on the Fiction side of Science-Fiction with A LOT of science fiction plots mixed into it. For the regular movie goers I would say it was a bit dry. I was with 7 other people with two of us being Sci-Fi junkies. Apart from us almost no one could make heads or tails of what was going on.
PS You HAD to just turn off your brains at times and accept what they were doing and what was being thrown at you.

[h=1]Interstellar’s Inaudible Dialogue Was an ‘Adventurous’ Choice[/h]
There are plenty of things that can sully the experience of watching movies in theaters, from noisy audience members to technical problems with the screening. Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar was a particular challenge for projectionists, since many of the screenings used film reels instead of digital copies of the movie - something that a lot of theaters have now phased out.
When complaints started coming in from all corners of the world that the film’s sound mix was poor, with dialogue frequently drowned out by the overwhelming score and sound effects, there was some speculation that this was simply a technical issue. Don’t go expecting a “fixed” version of the movie any time soon, however, as Nolan has now broken his silence on this issue and explained that it actually took a lot of work to get the film sounding like that. Yes, it was deliberate.
Speaking to THR, Nolan admitted that the “impressionistic” sound was an “unusual approach” for a mainstream blockbuster, but insisted that it was the right choice for an “experiential film” like Interstellar. He described the sound mix as “adventurous” and “creative,” and said that being able to hear what characters are saying is overrated.
This isn’t the first time that Nolan has come under fire for muddy dialogue in his films. Tom Hardy’s performance as Bane in The Dark Knight Rises had to be redubbed because a lot of people couldn’t make out what the villain was saying through his mask. There’ll be no redubbed version of Interstellar, though, as Nolan says that there are certain scenes where the dialogue is supposed to be very difficult to make out.
It’s possible that Nolan was simply too close to the sound mix for too long, and didn’t fully appreciate that his experience as a director who knew the script and the story inside out would be very, very different from that of an audience member encountering the film for the first time and naturally trying to work out what was going on. The “experience” of a lot of people who went to see Interstellar was one of furrowed brows, straining ears and occasional whispers of “what did she say?”
Nolan probably deserves some credit for at least attempt to break out of the trappings of blockbuster film, but of all the Hollywood tropes that he could have liberated Interstellar from, audible dialogue probably wasn’t the best choice and Interstellar was the wrong movie to decide that hearing characters explain the situation was of secondary importance. In any case, mixing the dialogue too low to be heard isn’t exactly a game-changing choice; it’s something that amateur filmmakers have been doing for years.
It doesn’t look like there are any plans to remix the sound for the home video release, but at least DVDs have subtitles.

it was intentional afterall !

“I don’t agree with the idea that you can only achieve clarity through dialogue. Clarity of story, clarity of emotions – I try to achieve that in a very layered way using all the different things at my disposal – picture and sound… Broadly speaking, there is no question when you mix a film in an unconventional way as this, you’re bound to catch some people off guard, but hopefully people can appreciate the experience for what it’s intended to be.”

“There are particular moments in this film where I decided to use dialogue as a sound effect, so sometimes it’s mixed slightly underneath the other sound effects or in the other sound effects to emphasize how loud the surrounding noise is. It’s not that nobody has ever done these things before, but it’s a little unconventional for a Hollywood movie.”
Interstellar‘s sound mix definitely wasn’t the result of laziness, as Nolan estimates that it took about six months of mixing to get it to its final state and that it was a “continuous, organic process.” He dismissed the idea that dialogue is crucial for communicating information about what is going on (particularly in a sci-fi film), saying that, “That’s the way I like to work; I don’t like to hang everything on one particular line.”

It's already become one of my all-time favourites. My top ten movies of all time would probably consist of Nolan and Tarantino alike.@Yasir bringing the talk from the movies section to here

A lot of people seemed to have a problem with the last 15mins/ending of the film. For me, that was the real impact the whole film delivered.
Definitely a hit or a miss, love it or hate it type of movie. BUT from what I've seen so far, it has been a hit mostly. Few of my friends also saw it and are praising it like hell.
[h=1]‘Interstellar’ Prequel Comic Written by Christopher Nolan Now Online[/h]
[This post contains MILD SPOILERS for Interstellar.]-
Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar focuses on Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) and his team’s search for a new home for humanity, but their group wasn’t the first one to go through the wormhole. Long before Professor Brand (Michael Caine) sent Cooper out on the Endurance, there were the Lazarus missions, which were led by Dr. Mann (Matt Damon) and served as the basis for Cooper’s assignment (providing three worlds for him to investigate).
One of those planets was the barren iceland that Mann found himself isolated on before he was rescued by the Endurance crew. Anyone who’s seen the movie knows that Mann essentially loses his mind, after years of loneliness without any fellow humans. His actions in the film provide enough clues for viewers as to how he became that way, but now we have some background on his story.
Wired has teamed up with Nolan and award-winning comic artist Sean Gordon Murphy to reveal the prequel comic “Absolute Zero”, which depicts Mann and his robot assistant KIPP scouting their planet for any positive signs. It’s reminiscent of the motion comic “The Cobol Job”, which was a special feature on the Inception Blu-ray and illustrated the moments leading up to that Nolan sci-fi flick’s opening sequence.

[h=2]CLICK TO READ “ABSOLUTE ZERO” COMIC[/h]____________________________
The panels show Mann and KIPP examining data from a probe and determining that the world is uninhabitable, before sending out falsified data to NASA. The “good news they’re looking for” ultimately has major implications on the plot of Interstellar, so even though it doesn’t feature any of the main characters (like “Cobol Job”), it still serves as a solid precursor to Nolan’s space drama.
Nolan uses the prequel to expand upon some of the ideas he showcased in Interstellar – namely Mann’s fear of being alone (something KIPP is very aware of) and the notion that humans are capable of saving themselves (see: Mann’s statement on arrogance). It’s interesting to see Mann as the mirror image of Cooper, having a more cynical perspective than the wide-eyed hopefulness that punctuated Cooper’s character.
At the same time, the comic doesn’t do too much to show us something new when compared to what we saw in the film. The revelations that there is no surface compatible for Earth’s needs and Mann’s final decision to fool his superiors are things that are touched on in Interstellar. The character has a fairly sizable role in the final product, so the movie provides plenty of insight on his overall psychology. It may be because “Absolute Zero” is brief, but whatever food-for-thought it provides isn’t all that meaty.
With the ice planet and the information conveyed here in “Absolute Zero” taking up a chunk of Interstellar‘s run time, it’s somewhat surprising that Nolan didn’t opt to use the comic to feature a different “unseen” aspect of the film. The glimpses into the nature of the Lazarus missions are fascinating, but he might have been better served giving us a look into the tale of Miller or Edmunds, who researched the other two planets shown in Interstellar. Given how the events of the film play out, the latter would have made for a truly compelling companion piece.
As it were, “Absolute Zero” still makes for some entertaining post-viewing reading. Those who do see the comic will be pondering questions such as “is good the absence of evil or is evil the absence of good?” and in a way, it humanizes the Mann character and makes him a little more relatable for the next time you see the movie (if he wasn’t sympathetic already).

So guys, what was your favourite scene in the movie?
Mine was when Mann's attempt to dock with Endurance ends up blowing his shuttle and endurance begins to spin out of control and Cooper tries to connect with it.
"Cooper, what are you doing!?"
"Docking"
"It's not possible"
"No, It's necessary".
HANS ZIMMER MUSIC.
PURE EPICNESS.
