$49?

$49?

Once again, this is the standard MSRP game that EVERY new release goes through. MSRP on some titles is initially higher than others, but rest assured that on street date the price will be between $25 and $30 for the 4K UHD.

 

[Malcolm R]

Yes, after decades of home media releases no one should take these MSRP's seriously and at most retailers that will never be the final price.

Given recent pricing trends, I'm not sure if street date will be as low as $25-30, but it certainly won't be $49.

My guess is that it will be priced at $29.99 on street date.

GRUV (Universal’s official retailer) has it for that price now as a preorder. Free shipping too.

Best Buy seems to be starting at $32.99

It’s down to that now.

 

[Josh Steinberg]

GRUV has it $29.99, with free shipping, and 20% off of that if it’s your first order. That’s what I wound up doing.

 

[SD_Brian]

distinctly remember thinking afterwards that I didn't need to see it again.

Though I think Oppenheimer is probably his best film since Memento, Nolan's movies in general don't have a lot of re-watch value to me. Not sure if I'll pick this one up or not. If it wins Best Picture, I'll have to get it in order to complete my collection (as much as possible in the absence of Coda, anyway), or else risk an OCD flare-up.

Best Buy seems to be starting at $32.99

Best Buy always seems to be a few dollars higher than everyone else for new releases this year.

In general, Best Buy seems to be encouraging shoppers to buy their physical media elsewhere.

Christopher Nolan Says Buy ‘Oppenheimer’ on Blu-ray ‘So No Evil Streaming Service Can Come Steal It From You’: ‘We Put a Lot of Care’ Into Home Release

Christopher Nolan has put a lot of care into the "Oppenheimer" Blu-ray release.

Though I think Oppenheimer is probably his best film since Memento, Nolan's movies in general don't have a lot of re-watch value to me.

They have tons of rewatch value for me!

I've seen "Interstellar" 6 or 7 times, and probably about the same for the Dark Knight flicks.

3-4 times with most of the others.

I'm happy for you. I struggled to get through Interstellar once.

"Interstellar" worked better for me with repeated viewings.

I saw it 3X theatrically because I loved the real IMAX presentation and it played at the Smithsonian IMAX for months.

It was there for a good 4-5 months. They didn't intend to play it that long, as they planned to replace the old projector and were gonna shut down the IMAX theater during that revamp.

However, they kept putting off the shutdown so they just kept playing "Interstellar" in the meantime.

I guess they'd not signed contracts for any other movies so they had nothing else to show.

Anyway, I saw "Interstellar" opening weeked IMAX and was underwhelmed.

Went to see it again 4-6 weeks later, mainly because I really do love real IMAX, and I liked it better.

Went again like 2 months later because it was still at the Smithsonian so I figured why not?

And I liked it more!

Not gonna say you'll enjoy it more if you give it another shot, but I know that for me, it took a while to work.

 

[Jake Lipson]

For me, Interstellar is Nolan's best movie that doesn't have Batman in it.

I still have it on digital. One of these days maybe I'll give it another shot.

 

[DaveF]

Ordered. Didn’t see it in the theater but wanted to see it. Hope to watch it Thanksgiving weekend.

 

[Ronald Epstein]

For me, Interstellar is Nolan's best movie that doesn't have Batman in it.

Agreed! It is my all-time favorite modern science fiction movie. Planet of the Apes would be my classic favorite.

 

[Tino]

Hans Zimmer’s score for Interstellar is one of my favorite scores ever. It should have won the Oscar imo. It’s his best score (and his favorite too).

It’s a tremendous film. My favorite Nolan film for sure.
