This. Interstellar in IMAX is still probably the greatest theatre experience I've ever had. The quality of the film is debatable (I personally loved it) but you can't argue that its scale is magnificent, doubly so in IMAX. Dunkirk will be the same way, although it doesn't seem to have, based on the reviews thus far, the glaring plotholes that Interstellar had.

I'm almost positive effects will go to Apes.

Probably the same swath of noms as Mad Max save for visual effects.
Edit: Mad Max didn't get a score nom, and that's a good possibility for Dunkirk.

He has a pretty fantastic filmography with only a few duds here and there, like Trek. He really dodged a bullet with Suicide Squad.
If it follows the Star Trek Beyond parallel fully it'll be nominated for Best Effects, then will lose to The Emoji Movie.
fucking hell..that sounds amazing
Blade Runner 2049 will be in the hunt too, I assume.
Basically, all the tech categories will be dominated by Apes, Blade Runner, and Dunkirk, IMO.

I had faith in Nolan and thought this movie would turn out good, but I'm really intrigued by some of the reviewers calling it his finest film. A Nolan film that's even better than The Dark Knight (or Memento, I haven't seen that yet though) sounds too good to pass up.
Yeah, the consistent streak of quality films that has been released every (other) week since June has been outright ludicrous. There's at least six films (including Dunkirk) I want too see that have come out and I've only been able to see two (Wonder Woman, which was great; and Apes, which was fantastic and is tied with Logan as my favorite film so far).

Yup, could def see editing and sound editing noms. Baby Driver is going to be tough comp for that though (especially sound).
97% after 32 reviews and a 9.1/10...mmmmmm.

I have close access to an IMAX theater and all of the hype and positive reviews are tempting me greatly to go that route.
My only hesitation is the fact that the last time I went to that IMAX theater, my fucking eardrums got annihilated. I mean, it was bad.
I know others have had this issue. Anyone facing the issue have a suggestion?

Reviews are great so far. Definitely on my radar now, I really didn't like the trailers.
Yeah it's def loud as all hell...maybe some weak ear plugs?
Sound dampening ear plugs. You can still hear the film.

Sit in the back, earplugs or noise protectors.
No shame to use them. Lotta idiot parents who bring small kids to imax.

Might be tempted to go to the Imax 70mm screen at Lincoln Square 13 if it really is worth it.
The first sign that this was bound for greatness was when they announced the runtime. I remember there was a lot of outright disbelief in the original announcement thread given how rare it is to see directors make the conscious effort to pull back their runtimes. The last example I can think of was Gravity.
That was quick. New TV spot with critic quotes.

Nah, he was in Legend, by all means not up to his standard... he still delivers in that role though. He's such a great actor. I think even if he was in SS, he would've been good in a bad movie. That said, glad he didn't take that role, he deserves a bigger role.
We did it!!!

If I'm reading this right, it's a blend of Memento, Saving Private Ryan, and Fury Road.
Those are the three main ingredients.
Am I reading that right?

I can't tell if people
1) are being sarcastic
2) aren't being sarcastic
3) confusing Jon Favreau for the frizzy haired guy from Collider News that made the bad Superman documentary

That's Mr. Schnepp to you.
Blade Runner can't win cinematography, it's got Roger Deakins.
I hate that this is true.

Doesn't he play a Spitfire in this one?
...Inter... Ste-These are incredible scores.
Nolan can do no wrong; that filmography is stellar.

Based on the little I've read, if someone dislikes it, it will likely be because the movie doesn't really have a core character to develop/follow/act as the audience surrogate. That can be pretty offputting to some people.
