I'll admit, when I first heard about it it was hard to be excited at all since the plot sounds like some sort of SyFy original movie or something. But now the trailers look stunning and finding out Nolan was behind it makes me convinced it's going to be something else. Plus the length is actually striking me as a positive, it's almost three hours long, for Nolan that's a plus since I bet this will be a true epic sort of film. Now stoked.

2014 in film has not disappointed me so far. Hope this continues.

I'm certain Birdman is my cup of tea, but i'll give it a shot.

Very excited. Will see it on opening weekend at the movie theater on 86th street with the giant cozy seats that recline and have a footrest.

It sucks, there's no longer any movie theaters in downtown Minneapolis. There was a big one until 2012, but despite being rather profitable it closed due to a leasing dispute that ended up going to federal court. It was the only big theater in the city of Minneapolis. It was the only big theater in Minneapolis too, and now the only ones that remain are small ones that while are great for showing lots of indie films and the like still don't have the screens and sound that one did. You basically now have to go to one of the malls in the suburbs.

Of course The Uptown is my favorite theater of all time, but it shows just limited release films. Very useful and an valuable part of Minneapolis for that reason, but doesn't help for movies such as this.

Well there's one, in what's kind of downtown. It's a cool theater that shows lots of independent movies and even hosted a "Philip Seymour Hoffman week" and rescreened a lot of his films that week as well, but it's still a fairly old theater with only five screens.

The poors either go to the one in Brooklyn Center, a really run down suburb that sits right next to the poorest part of Minneapolis, or go the malls as well because the public transit to them is actually pretty good.

I love that place, but you might be one of 4,000 people with the same idea.  That's a minor annoyance in NYC, people line up 30 minutes before a showtime to see movies in their third week.

Is 86th street the one with the real huge IMAX? I went to a movie there once and the audio was awful because the theater was so big.

Definitely. I'm going to see it at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle if I can. It's a real IMAX there (70 mm).

Yeah, it was Loews Lincoln Square 13 on 68th and Broadway. Don't go there. Terrible.

The leaked IMAX trailer is pretty cool:

It certainly is one of the most ambitious films coming out this year. Nolan's intent is seemingly to produce the 2001 of our time.

Let's hope that it remotely lives up to the promise.

I'm not going to go into it expecting the next 2001. There's no way I would be able to enjoy it if I set that standard.

^^

I'm not really expecting it to be either.

But there are insofar some parallels that in both cases the film-maker intended to do a realistic, "hard" science fiction movie about space exploration for which he collobarated with a known writer and/or physicist (Arthur C. Clarke as screenwriter for 2001, Kip Thorne as executive producer for Interstellar).
