King Mark 3,631 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I bet you haven't seen the film Alex, yet you quote essays on itbut it's right, some of the 2014 tech in this film makes no sense compared to how advanced they are in other fields.

crocodile 8,017 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I totally forgot to mention something about this film until now;When I saw it in IMAX, one thing was SUPER distracting: The shifting aspect ratio!It can't cost THAT much more to just film the ENTIRE movie with IMAX cameras, can it? What the heck?Seriously, where were you in the past six years? It's the third Nolan film in which this happens.Anyway, them not shooting it entirely in IMAX format had more to do with practicalities - Nolan likes on-set dialogue revordings and these things are noisy and heavy. Besides, they better used when showing off grand pictures. Unless you're a purely visual filmmakers. People like Terrence Malick should be using it, it's virtually made for him.But, to be honest, their use of this format was more impressive in TDKR. It showed the scope and size of the city.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 It's not that distracting if you think about it. It can be compared to using different framing methods in a movie where the aspect ratio doesn't change.Here the changing ratio can be viewed as an effect in itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,017 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Yeah, didn't bother me either. Wes Anderson used three aspect ratios in his last movie and nobody mpaned about it.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,017 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Oh. Really? Must have missed that.In any case, I was paying particular attention to IMAX footage this time. Good god, now this is a way to watch movies. The clarity, vibrancy, scope, spectacle of the format. You can see how even 35 mm does look sort of lame next to it. I wish the entire film could be done like that.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,369 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Yea, I really loved hte IMAX footage too. IMAX is cool!And yea, should have just spent the $$ to shoot the entire movie in IMAX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 It's not a question of money Jay, but of the limits on runtime that IMAX imposes, and more so the loudness of the cameras which make them impractical for any scenes where on-set sound is actually important. Considering the largely unscored, natural sound, documentary approach of so much of the film, it would have made no sense to shoot those scenes in IMAX.I hear that this weekend is the last for this film in IMAX. Get it while you still can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Depends. Various social engagements have required me to watch some films a couple of times, just because it happens to be the movie everyone wants to see.Personally, because I don't have the time to go the cinema as often as I'd like, I try and make the most of it by watching as many different movies on my trips as I can. But there are certain movies that require multiple viewings, and Interstellar is one of them. Still haven't seen it a second time yet though...

Yes, situations like these make you see a movie twice but it's still a far cry from what crocs is doing. I would pay money not to have to see most movies 4 times.

crocodile 8,017 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I saw it three times when it first opened. Probably in the first four days or so. It took me a month to watch it again.

crocodile 8,017 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 It's nit really about that. It's just the kind of think one should watch on biggest screen possible.

crocodile 8,017 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 It's an entertaining film, much better in that respect than previous two. But I wish there was a bit more verisimilitude to it.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 In that regard the Hobbit films dont really look al that different from the LOTR ones.

crocodile 8,017 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 No but there was enough "real" stuff to balance it all out.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I guess Nolan's extreme fetishism for realism never really worked for me. It's a valid approach for something like Batman. But high concept sci-fi or fantasy like Interstellar or Inception? No I want something with a big more texture and imagination.
