Yeah, I've seen it many times, but it's just different in IMAX.

As the kids say: it just hits different.

I just discovered that they added tracks to the Interstellar soundtrack in Apple Music and likely elsewhere as well. Mine downloaded years ago had 24 tracks. Album now has 30 tracks.

On one hand, people who pull out their phones and take pictures of the screen in the middle of a movie/theater should be blasted into the sun.

On the other hand, though...

Do yourself a favor and see it. I was blown away by how IMAX puts this movie on an even more grandiose scale than it was when I saw it in a regular theater a decade ago.

I'd say I have a hard time imaging how someone could say this movie carries no emotion, but then I recall what I wrote about my wife a few posts above. She finds the movie to be boring, not necessarily lacking in emotion, and too long. Given that she is a woman, she can never really know what it is to be a dad to a daughter. She doesn't even have the relationship herself, as her own "father" abandoned her mother right after she was born (she literally didn't meet the man until she was grown herself).

I explained this to her after I saw it on Sunday. It's not the visual effects, it's not the story, it's not the score, it's the emotional core of a dad's love for his kids with the focus on his daughter. When old Murph says to him "no parent should have to watch their child die" I was freaking cutting onions on Sunday night (and I've seen the movie countless times).

Interstellar is Nolan's best movie. I love his Batman trilogy, Inception, Dunkirk, but none of those hold a candle to Interstellar.

This.

I enjoyed it as a movie the first time I saw it because I was just newly married and had no kids. Then I saw it as a dad with a little girl, and it hit completely differently. I can't watch Coop leaving Murph without cutting onions now.

I loved Interstellar when I saw it during its original run. Amazing movie.

But I don't know if I could bring myself to watch it again now that I have two daughters, both around Murph's age. He has to leave her in order to save her. To save everyone. Her running after him. Him missing her whole life. Goodness. Just thinking about it is enough. Amazing movie.

They should really expand this "limited engagement" throughout the rest of the month. Give the people what they want.

Unfortunately Disney/Mufasa will have a stranglehold on IMAX theaters starting Thursday.
