I’m late in noting this, as it was released several weeks ago, but:
Go see “Interstellar.” While it’s in the theater. In IMAX,* if possible.

Not perfect, but a remarkable film.
*A and I saw it at Shaw Theaters Lido here in Singapore.
One reply on “On ‘Interstellar’”
Hi Newley —
Definitely agree with you that “Interstellar”‘s not perfect. In fact, I’d go so far as to consider it an ambitious failure. Yes, some of its visuals are amazing — but the story is ultimately so disappointingly conventionally Hollywood.
Maybe if people go in to the screening with lower expectations than I did, they might like — and/or be impressed by — it more…
