Christopher Nolan's next: 'Interstellar'
Script was written by his brother, and Spielberg was previously attached.

Bass traps are essential when viewing a movie in which the audience expects explosions, loud noise, heavy bass, and so on. Without them, the bass waves, which can be three feet long, will bounce all over the room and cancel out other frequencies. This is a movie theater problem, not a problem with Nolan's mixes. |

Nearly forgot, one other thing which annoyed me was Anne Hathaway's big speech. You'll know it when you hear it. Almost pulled me out of the movie. But not quite. Its connection to the resolution was a little disjointed as well, but I was fine with it.
I've been leafing through some threads online the last hour or so and most of the complaints I've seen strike me as people who aren't quite as smart as they think they are looking really hard for things to complain about, but that's what I get for surfing film snob webshites. There's also a lot of Nolan hate in general, which doesn't come as a surprise. There are some very big ideas in the movie. On the surface it seems like Nolan/screenwriters wrapped up things nicely with a bow, but I left feeling the wormhole events were left to interpretation. Cooper made some assumptions that may or may not be correct about what was going on, and who or what was responsible. But maybe I've been reading too many books with unreliable narrators lately, it's all cut and dried and obvious and I'm falling into my own trap of thinking I'm smarter than I really am. |

IMO, it was a very average bordering on being awful. The separation from reality in this movie was too great to redeem itself.

Looks like it is time for me to bow out of the thread until I see it for myself.

I remember watching Inception in IMAX and the dialogue being muddled. Then of course the famous Bane dialogue being muted and hard to understand at times. At least in the original trailer.

Huge screen with a huge theater and bad acoustics?
I figure I should remind everyone that wants to discuss plot points, please use spoiler tags. The VB code is spoiler and /spoiler in brackets. []

I saw it at 8 last night at TownCenter 20 in Leawood. Acoustic issues for sure, but nothing that ruined the movie. I have to agree with Dane on this as well. It was definitely the local sound system and not the film itself.
As far as the film went, I think I liked it, but I do not know if it was actually a good film. I absolutely love scifi; the headier the better. This wasn't so heady, but quite abstract, which I did adore. It also has some very emotional moments, which are also pitfalls for me, and sucker me into loving films that aren't great. Currently I am thinking of this film as a lollipop.

I think Arclight Hollywood is the best cinema experience around. I don't care for the Dome, however. I'm always disappointed at the Chinese Theater (and Mann's 6 in Hollywood & Highland are garbage, IMO).
The big rooms at The Grove are good, as are the big rooms at the Americana but I don't care for the sound or picture in the smaller rooms. But once again, nothing touches Arclight Hollywood, IMO. |

Again, I didn't see it in the theater but I haven't had any issues at home. That said, I thought it was an odd choice. |

Yes, but this movie has totally different air about it and its explanation and non-explanations

Movie was visually impressive and well acted. Plot holes almost completely ruin it.
