Interstellar (2014 film directed by Christopher Nolan)

[Quintus 5,399]

Lol proper pirates don't stream, Joey. They download.

[crocodile 8,000]

Actually, they share.

Karol

[Quintus 5,399]

They download first, Croc.

[A24 4,331]

Piracy Alex?

People don't go to the video store anymore, Joey, they stream a movie.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[A24 4,331]

Or on their iMac with Retina 5K display they have gotten for their Xmas.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[Quintus 5,399]

That's how I watched Gravity.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[Quintus 5,399]

It was alright but the regular flow of noisy buses coming and going at the station I was sitting at was a pain, but hey.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[King Mark 3,631]

I've read every bit of info? KM doesn't know what he's saying.

Your the most prominent poster in this thread, like you were in the Prometheus thread. Yet you can somehow wait 6 month to see the film streaming on your ipad?

Piracy Alex?

Piracy from streaming is on the rise. However Alex people still do use the video stores. And Redbox is quite successful.

[Jay 37,339]

Redbox is awesome

[Wojo 2,453]

I've actually never used it. My sister swears by it though.

Really? Not here they do, I'm sorry. I never knew it was still a big thing in your country. It might take a little while longer, but eventually the video store will ceased to exist in your area as well. CD stores are also very rare around here. There only a few of them left and they are selling vinyl again.

Like Quintus said, "streaming" is official here (Prime, TV, Xbox, Netflix, ...). "Downloading" means piracy.

[King Mark 3,631]

We still have videostores.

I think there will be a lot less of the but a few will always remain (just like c.d. stores). Not every one has in Internet plans that allows to stream movies freely

A lot of old people don't have internet at all

[A24 4,331]

We still have videostores.

You mean like on every corner of every street? Or one little stubborn store in the whole city?

Everybody has internet here, especially old people, but they don't stream, they watch whatever is on TV.

It's streaming or downloading here.

I knew rental stores were dead when last year I wanted to rent The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey on blu-ray, and none of the remaining stores in Hoorn carried it.

[nightscape94 965]

For some stupid reason I can seem to rent movies through the Amazon app on my Samsung blu ray player. I can watch all the normal Prime programing, I have the ability to purchase a movie, but the rental option is just not there like it is on the website. Unless I'm just missing it.

Because of this I was finally going to use Redbox for the first time when I experienced the desire to watch Iron Man 3. But by then it was too late and they didn't have a Redbox in my area that carried it.

First clip:

[Jay 37,339]

Matthew McConaughey sitting on one side of a desk, talking to two people on the other side.... it's a True Detective outtake!

[KK 3,307]

Not watching the clip, but does it have any underscore to it?

[Quintus 5,399]

Maybe there'll be a succession of clips posted online for promo purposes now, like they do with other movies these days. Hopefully they'll upload so many, like they often do, that I can just watch them all in order, and save myself a trip to the cinema.

[crocodile 8,000]

Insterstellar: The IMINI Experience.

Karol

[mrbellamy 6,277]

Not watching the clip, but does it have any underscore to it?

Nope. Just a simple dialogue scene.

[A24 4,331]

Interesting! Nolan went to the leading scientists for their theories and calculations and apparently the science in Interstellar is as 'correct' as it can possibly get. Universities will be using the film's visuals to show how light being absorbed by a black hole looks like. That's a first, I believe.

Alex

[Koray Savas 2,251]

Yeah they used real astrophysics.

[nightscape94 965]

Yeah, that was a big draw for me back when Spielberg was attached. That was the focus of a lot of the information that was being drummed up at the time.

[Dixon Hill 4,234]

Kip Thorne is a badass. He's the guy who gave Sagan input on Contact. He's writing two papers based on stuff he came across during the production.

First clip:

Why is everything white so green?

[King Mark 3,631]

Tomato rating at 73%...that means it will go down

[crocodile 8,000]

Actually, it's been going up for the past couple of days.

Besides, this is based on just 45 reviews.

Karol

[King Mark 3,631]

it usually ends 15% lower than the initial rating

Early reviews tend to be the most positive

[crocodile 8,000]

Initial was 69%.

Karol

[Not Mr. Big 4,639]

Interstellar has 12 rotten reviews out of 45, while Gravity has only 10 rotten reviews out of 305, proving that Gravity is a better movie.

[King Mark 3,631]

I predict a final rating of....65%

[Not Mr. Big 4,639]

And a final IMDB rating of 9.7. Slightly below the IMDB Nolan average.

Not really, it just proves it is more successful in what it aims to do. Whether that means "a good film"... well that's debatable.

It was a really well executed technical excercise but I can't remember much of it by now, to be honest. It had a really weak script, that one.

Karol

[KK 3,307]

Gravity was an entertaining thriller set in space, and expertly crafted from a technical standpoint.

Interstellar on the other hand, will be real hard sci-fi, one that I hope will be quite good. I'll find out on Tuesday I guess.

[Dixon Hill 4,234]

Gravity was stylized shit, and anyone who liked it is an idiot.

[Not Mr. Big 4,639]

My feelings on Gravity are pretty similar to my feelings on Inception. Both are fairly gimmicky and much of the interest is lost upon the second viewing. I prefer Gravity because its much less pretentious and it has its running time is less ponderous.

[King Mark 3,631]

Gravity in IMAX was amazing

but I don't feel like re-watching it on home theater

[Dixon Hill 4,234]

Idiot!

[Not Mr. Big 4,639]

My home viewing experience was actually better than my theater experience, mostly because the theater lights were left on and the projector was out of focus. This can mostly be attributed to the fact that the theater was run by 15 year olds.

[King Mark 3,631]

well that must not have helped

I had perfect seating and viewing conditions on IMAX. I always buy my tickets in advance and reserve the same seats

[Not Mr. Big 4,639]

Was it a real Imax or a "digital Imax"?

[KK 3,307]

Gravity is a must-see experience on the big screen. But I grant you that it doesn't have much replay value at home. It is an admirable feat though, one that I personally enjoyed sitting through.

- Proud Idiot

[King Mark 3,631]

Well, that one is a real IMAX with a square screen, but smaller than the museum ones. It used to have the opening Lazer demo show (probably only in Canada)

I've seen the lesser IMAX and they don't even have the true IMAX shape screen. It's just like an improved regular theater.It's a bit confusing that they are still called IMAX

You're exempt from the idiot designation.

It's just part of my sensational new uncompromising, hard-hitting, and no-nonsense posting strategy. A sort of hommage à Publicist.
