Interstellar

[James B.]

Except for a few holes (and I'm not just referring to black holes) in the script, I greatly enjoyed the latest mind-bending roller coaster ride from Chris Nolan.
In terms of cinematography, thought the IMAX experience was incredible and the effects top notch and seamless.
I know its subjective but the one problem I DID have was with the 'look' or grading. Find it hard to believe that the overly crushed blacks in the majority of the shots were intentional and will have to do more research on the post work on this film.

And though I love the look of film(as opposed digital capture) was wondering in what way the end result might have been different, had Nolan and DP Hoyt Van Hoytema chosen digital capture instead. By its very nature doesn't shooting film in IMAX format make it cost prohibitive to do many takes?

Just watched this in 70mm and I have to say I was a bit disappointed. Although I enjoyed the ride it was a bit overwrought and way too LOUD! More specifically I was expecting the 70mm projection to really be something special and instead it just solidified my preference for a good digital projection, preferably 4K but even a good 2K projection looks better to my eye. The gate weave, the lifted shadows in some shots it all just felt unfinished at times.
