I have and it's pretty bad. There's no tension or weight. It just exists with a lot of flying around and pure nothingness. It looked cool in the trailer but disappointed me a lot in the film itself. It's just such an impactless fight.

Same with the car chase scene. For a scene that should thump it's a lot of nothing. I know Nolan accepts his not an action director, which is why he respects Michael Bay so much.

Interstellar was absolute shit in the theatre.

Wat? you must have seen it a a pretty shit cinema. In IMAX it was damn near a religious experience.
 
The last shot is cool in theory, but you can practically hear them being told when to turn and look up in the sky given that there's no emotion on any of the extra's faces. Some of them just look like "Oh, I guess we should duck now."

Still looking forward to the movie a lot, but the teaser didn't do much for me.
 
I have to look it up but I don't think Stukas had the Jericho horns fitted at Dunkirk. I think they were put in during the Battle of Britain to scare the people.

Considering the accounts from WWI and 2 from the fronts, how the meat grinder of war practically becomes routine, perhaps that kind of emotion and reaction isn't that farfetched
 
Showed everything it needed to show really, Nolan's always done teasers well. The guy knows how to save his showstopper shots for the final thing.

Van Hoytema and Roger Deakins competing for the 2017 Oscar with an epic war film and an epic scifi film.

LAWD.

Lol, there were theaters posting disclaimers about the sound, saying there's nothing wrong with their audio setups, that it was just how the movie sounded.
I've never heard of that happening for any other movie. The audio was a total shitshow.

I haven't been following this so maybe I'm the bad guy here but other than some well done shots this was a whole lot of nothing. Sand. Guy on beach. People on beach. Bodies on beach. Bunch of people duck. What's the tease here?

Please tell me you've heard of the Battle of Dunkirk.
 
Used to talk shit about Nolan post-TDK, but surprisingly I loved Interstellar. Kinda wish Nolan was doing another original film rather than a WW2 drama.
 
YOOOO that boat shot is absolutely getting reshot! I can literally hear someone behind camera saying 'LOOK UP'....'DUCK!' with them following orders but not thinking about why they're doing those things. Also, smiling dude lol, so happy to be on camera!

Nolan has a history of using poor extras. It's his thing.
 
I think most of Nolans teaser shots don't typically make it into the movie, but so far yeah visually looking like a Nolan film, which is his strongest point
 
Reaction to this in my Suicide Squad showing was probably not what Nolan was going for.

Lots of people laughing and shaking their heads. Lots of people commenting on how dumb it looks. "Too artsy".

Anecdotal blah blah but I can totally see where that notion is coming from. The teaser shows nothing.
 
I mean yeah Day fucking 1 at the closest 70mm IMAX (please Nashville). I'll get a hotel room for a night if that means a 7:00pm Thursday or whenever showtime.

Laughing? Were these people 12?
 
Some very nice shots but I cringe to think how overwrought the dialogue is going to be in this. A Nolan-written period piece set in WW2? Ehhhh....

At this point I basically expect (and receive) the same things from each of Nolan's films: gorgeous cinematography, large scope and ambition, and great actors and performances, mixed with poorly shot action and clunky exposition from characters who often serve as mere vessels to deliver said exposition. Oh, and bad extras/questionable decisions on what takes to use.

The day he once again directs a script that isn't his own and lets a proper second unit handle his action will be a glorious day.

People made fun of the inception trailer back then as well, similar to what your saying. People are not used to actual "Teasers"

people mostly remember the trailers anyways and if all else fails put Harry styles everywhere

I believe that Insomnia is the only movie of his that he didnt write, but I feel Prestige and Memento are better written then it

If his theater was anything like mine tonight, yes. I'd say half were over 20 and the other half looked like they were 16 or younger. I swear one girl was about to have a heart attack when Harley first showed up.

Didn't get the trailer in the theater, I was pretty disappointed.
