For someone who came into this movie as a blind buy, my included IMAX frame was just a tiny spoiler:

Did anybody get a frame from an actual IMAX shot (full frame) in the movie? Mine is also from a 2.35:1 scene.

I got an actual IMAX frame of a very dark object obscuring the frame, and a sliver of a window in the corner. Have no earthly idea what it is.

Wormhole? Gargantua?

 

[Scott Burke]

I got one. It's of top her looking at the cornfields on fire.

The sound mix is not the problem in understanding what some of the actors are saying - it is the mumbling and talking so low that any character who is more than an inch away from whoever is speaking would not be able to understand or even hear a word they were saying. This happens in many films of today - actors and directors somehow think this is what being "real" is - to which I say, hogwash. It's a real problem when you can't understand dialogue in films that are trying to tell a story with spoken words.

I agree. The entire nearly three hour movie was mumbled, especially the lead actor. I had to turn the audio way up for the diologue, and down again for the "music".

I broke in my new basement home theater (118" screen) by watching INTERSTELLAR.


I was amazed. An incredibly powerful and at times, very emotional film. There were moments where I had tears in my eyes.


Everything from the score, to the editing was first-rate.


One of the best science fiction films I have seen in years.


I agree with others that the sound had to be turned up and down throughout as the music was just way too strong, but with remote in hand, I managed to handle that with ease. Just wish it was a little more balanced.


Liked the very subtle way that the aspect ratios changed. Wasn't as jarring as one would have thought it would be.


In the end, this is a film I will watch again and again. An EXCEPTIONAL film.

I watched this yesterday afternoon. I was mesmerized from start to finish. Yes, I had a bit of difficulty understanding "some" of the lines, but not enough to break the film's spell.


What a wonderful film. And it's the first time I have ever enjoyed a Hans Zimmer film score!


Only distraction: Why is Matthew McConnaughey ORANGE? I noticed it in "Magic Mike". Saw him at the Oscars last year and he was still orange. And in this film he REEKS of orange.


Anybody know whassup with his skin color?

I watched this on UHD disc for the first time today. Good, but not great, film with much to enjoy. Hoping that the 4k sound would be improved but unfortunately the dialogue is as mumbled as ever. This has become a common occurrence with contemporary films, and i sometimes have to replay a scene several times. For the most egregious, i occasionally put the subtitles on!

 

[Tino]

This has become a common occurrence with contemporary films,

This is especially common in Nolan films. In addition to Interstellar, see Dunkirk, The Dark Knight Returns etc.

OK, for reals this time -- here's the actual IMAX cel I received the other day with my Best Buy edition:

But she has a top. Not at all what I hoped for.

He is, perhaps, a relative of a well-known public figure.
