lol I didn't really notice.
I honestly find Nolan's movies to be sentimental, despite people thinking they're cold and calculating. There's always people crying their eyes out in these things.
I hate when people talk about fucking IMAX. I can't imagine that many countries in Europe even have this technology. What the fuck are the rest of us gonna do? Watch it in a stupid Liemax? At least it seems my cinema has 70mm projection and I probably won't even notice a difference.

Even Portugal has 2 two imax theaters. We usually have jack shit. Surely most european countries have it. Even if it's not those huge ones.
70mm projection on the other hand...

I bought tickets for Dunkirk and War for Apes, and at least at my theater they devoted way more screens to Dunkirk. Probably because they want to keep as many screens for Spider-Man while they can.
We have a Liemax. Not an IMAX. And only one of them in the entire country. And we are usually at the forefront when it comes to technology.
I don't even know what the 70mm will bring me. And I am sure I won't even notice a difference when watching the movie.
I found Inception sentimental. The stuff with his kids, his wife, and the guilt....then again anything with kids gets to me.
Same with Interstellar, Prestige, and the origins scene in BB.

They are totally sentimental. I love that aspect of them.

Was that a sentence?This is how you keep the budget low
Use random words in a sentence that's how you keep the budget low.
I really don't think this movie will be front loaded. The WOM will be great. Talk of an experience similar to Avatar or Gravity.
Exactly.

Metreon does have 70mm but I just wasnt in the right field. Almost bought non 70mm tickets!

What I wanna know is how does he stay immaculately styled when he's directing a $150 million+ film everyday.
I don't think I've ever seen a picture of the guy in a T shirt and jeans.

I don't mind sentimentality at all, was just making fun of the notion that Nolan doesn't do schmaltz.
I secretly think that's how he get his movies made. He wins all the executives over with his impeccable fashion taste paired with a posh British accent.

Id sit a few rows back imo

too late!!
ive been to this screen a million times. when i saw interstellar i think i was too far back. this i think will make the movie more intense.
one time i saw the matrix reloaded all blown up on this theater.
i think i sat around this close for the cameron ghosts of the abyss 3d documentary
I'll go legit IMAX if the movie was shot for the format, which Nolan happily does quite a bit. I saw the prologue and it was fantastic, especially the audio. I feel like this movie might end up divisive if the IMAX experience adds a lot to it and people end up watching at home on smaller screens with limited audio later on. Interstellar may be a flawed movie but seeing it in IMAX is one of my all time great movie experiences.

Yeah, I agree. So many people I know go all the way to the back because they're overcompensating for the craning neck. Center center is the way to go.

It actually will be the first time I've been up close, I think. When I saw that 3D docu I just walked in and sat down. But any movie since then I've been in the back. Which does make sense because of the height. Anyway, I'm gonna have eaten quite a few edibles so its gonna be some gnarly business either way.
I like the screen to fill up my entire POV without having to crane my neck. Ive found the best spot for this to be towards the back. I have to look up if Im in the center
Im sure itll be even more intense there for this

$19 for one single IMAX ticket? Goddamn no wonder it takes the whole world box office to equal what the US brings to one movie. Your ticket prices are insane! I'll go see this film in IMAX in Mexico and I'll pay like $5 USD for one.

Are these seats good enough for going at 10:45am so I can save 10 bucks for a $16 ticket?

Just got my opening night tickets, center center IMAX for me. No 70mm though 
So incredibly hyped for this. Saw the preview before Spiderman and it only added fuel to the fire

Same. Interstellar was a fucking incredible IMAX showing. Maybe my favorite of all time, just so immersive.
In Melbourne, IMAX 70mm tickets cost $38 general seating, premium seating costs $50. Some of the most outrageous shit I've ever seen, so I think I'm gonna skip Nolan IMAX for the first time since pre-TDK.

Jesus. That's insane. I feel awful even paying $25.
I think for Interstellar it'd just broken $30, and I folded to that. That's about my limit. $38 is insane. And this new 'premium seating' is basically just a fat chunk of what are the only acceptably viewable seats in the cinema, now turned into recliners. So the seats that I would have sat in for around $21 back in Inception days now costs $50 under the guise of "premium seating."
Some stinky shit right there.

70mm will probably look better but it lacks that awesome verticality Imax generates.

Jeez, I had no idea prices were so crazy. I bought my 70mm IMAX tickets in BC for $13.50 CAD. Seeing it on the Tuesday though, which means cheaper tickets.
