It’s funny to see all the positive (including audience) reactions, after most of the internet discourse over the last few months was about how terrible the movie would be.
I’m lucky enough to have a (digital) IMAX theatre relatively nearby, so I’m planning to watch it there in a few weeks when the screenings are getting less crowded.
To be fair, the trailers weren’t very flattering. I wasn’t expecting the movie to be that good either.
Yeah, that’s fair. I didn’t think the trailers were amazing either, although it did seem like they were purposefully not giving too much away, which I appreciate. But people got really hung up on the smallest details to prematurely declare it a bad movie.
Of all the times for a movie trailer to finally show restraint, not spoiling the plot of a movie based on a ~3000 year old epic poem sure is something.
I don’t trust RT and I don’t trust first reviewers opinions. The real score will be on Imbd in 2-3 weeks. I really hope it’s this good.
IMDb also tends to be very generous. I think FilmAffinity is more reliable.
Yes you’re right.
The Odyssey is now Christopher Nolan’s highest-rated film on Rotten Tomatoes.
Critic reviews are so all over the place. 73% for interstellar is wild, it’s #17 on IMDB at 8.7.
The threshold for rotten tomatoes critics though is about as low as the mariana trench.
That is one impressive filmography.
I hope this gives an aneurysm to Elon.
I hope Elon gets an aneurysm from something much more common and mundane like a bagel or looking at the sky.
I’m waiting for discount Tuesday at my local IMAX theater to see it. For those who have seen it, was the use of modern lingo not bad as it seemed to be? I was kinda turned off with the trailers.
Also, is everything just dark and blue hues or is there at least some color like it was actually supposed to happen in the Mediterranean, and not Scandinavia? Those were my only gripes when I saw the trailer.
And I hope the dialogue isn’t just exposition (see Tenet).
maybe some day I see it and I hope I like it. I feel like things that I see that get massive this is the best thing every is like alright nowadays and things that see that get pretty good are meh and meh is just stinkaroo. I feel like movie reviews have something like grade inflation.
RT is paid reviews and unreliable. I’ll wait for unpaid second hand reviews. Critics these days are all paid because Hollywood is hemorrhaging money with every flop that’s come out and are hoping for release hype to get back as much as possible in the first few weeks.
If I’m wrong then I’m wrong. Remind me in a month if this movie is actually an IGN 10/10
