HUGE Props to Nathan Crowley!That guy Pete Wentz (of Fall Out Boy fame?????) really liked it. Posted this on his own site in addition to the earlier tweet:OCTOBER 23RD, 2014 AT 3:23 PMI got the chance to see the film Interstellar last night…I am still thinking about it. It is amazing to me that in 2014 there is a movie that can make me forget where I am for a few hours- that when i walk out of the theater i am surprised that it has turned dark outside like I was when i was a kid. I love that a film like this gets made today and you can see it on a big screen… the visuals are insane, as is the imagination of the story. it reminded me of the spirit of my favorite movies growing up, but at the same time, was completely original and new. As so much of who I am is based on these amazing adventures I saw growing up- I am glad that someone is making them for todays audiences. If you get the chance go see this movie in a dark theater with a big screen and lots of popcorn- cause thats how it deserves to be taken in.

Dixon Hill 4,229 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Oh no! Less than stellar feedback! That's it, it's gonna suck! Someone put me on suicide watch!John AndreI was there last night. Here's my 2-10 cents. Visually a work of art. Christopher Nolan = one of the most visionary film makers working today. Christopher Nolan needs to get rid of his script writing number 11 button and stop trying to make every scene a home run. Like music the best movies undulate invisibly rather than jump between richter scale 8 and crickets. The emotional manipulation became more and more evident as the movie progressed as the pacing was relentless yet oddly not propulsive. There 2-4 set pieces that belong in the set piece hall of fame. Hans Zimmer needs to have his number 11 button taken away from him forever and learn to play the flute. He crushed the movie, and not in a good way. With his relentless ode to 2001 I yearned for the humanity and nimble fingers of Gravity. All in though it's what blockbusters should aim to be. Ambitious, artful mainstream story telling, just with a little less dourness. Oh and Matthew Mcaugnanny (spell check please) was miscast. He's so much better as the dark heart of a piece. When he plays straight, I reach for my bugle. He makes you miss Richard Dreyfuss in his prime. And finally, IMAX is where epic cinema belongs. It's a nail in 3d's coffin and that can only be a good thing. Bravo Chris Nolan for leading the way.http://www.hollywood-elsewhere.com/2014 ... witterfeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,484 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 So the silly hype has begun so that once the movie has come upon us people will look at you with slight disbelief when you try to reason with them why it still might not be a good movie - which i think is entirely possible at this point. Last time that happened with DJANGO UNCHAINED and there was so much pro-Tarantino hype here that it was generally assumed that there was so much brilliant subtext in it that probably only an advanced alien race could make sense of it all.

mrbellamy 5,231 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Early reviews are coming in. Decidedly mixed so far, though I imagine will lean more positive closer to release. Seems to be a fairly typical reception for Nolan...one side calling it bold and masterful, the other hokey and prosaic. McConaughey and Zimmer getting strong notices across the board.
