Ended up getting sneak passes to check this out tonight. Haven't seen a trailer or anything. Thread has me hype for more than just a war movie.

Nice...30 min till reviews start pouring in. On a side note, I wonder what he considering Nolan's other masterpiece (not reading full reviews so not sure if it was noted).
Any Questions

Nolan never fails. Best movies include dark night trilogy, interstellar, inception.
For me personally. These 5 movies are 11 or 12/10
They go beyond the average rating. So does the Goonies, Indy series and saving private Ryan.
It's personal but am so so so so so going to watch on Max IMAX

I'm going with 94% rt and a 8.4/10 average.
Would also love to know how many reviewers got to see it on 70mm imax. I bet that would greatly affect ones score.

But I loved Interstellar and that was like 70%.
Nolan has flaws as a film maker, but then I look at his filmography and I like or love every single one of them.

Phew, what a movie.
The way it connected the main characters was brilliant. The music, the tension, the vistas... god I need to see this again.
It was amazing. I could hardly hold back the tears at the end.

Colosseum in Oslo here. Not Imax, but pretty large screen compared to most.
I don't live close enough to Oslo to go mid week I'm afraid

If anyone is a Regal Crown Club member, they have 2 different 27x40 posters up that you can get with credits. They charge for shipping, but they're usually nice double sided posters.

Yeah, I was very glad they did not try to add flashbacks of the characters prior to the war. The movie had one thing set in mind and I think it was executed to a tee.
I really don't know what I thought about it. I'm kind of flabbergasted because it was absolutely not what I expected, simply because of Nolan's name. The visuals and sound (especially the sound!) were incredible.
I want to watch it again because knowing what to expect, I can make a proper judgement.

I hate war movies when multiple soldiers are involved because I am awful at recognizing faces and everyone looks the same in uniform and short-ish dark hair!
??? all sold out!

I love how some of the sequences synced up, like when Tom Hardy waves back to his downed wingman, then we find out his wingman wasn't really waving but trying to get out of his cockpit or calling for help.

Looks like they still have the final poster up. Everything was readily available until they sent out their email blast.

Just found out it's playing in the Dolby theater, I think I will cancel my regular IMAX tickets.
Some kind of mind fuckery or twist I guess. Keep in mind I basically went into it knowing nothing except it was a Nolan original film (as in not a franchise a la Batman) about World War II.
Didn't see my local IMAX as a 70mm location.
I'm curious what kind of projection it uses now since it was owned by IMAX and sold to a local theater chain in my state.
It's the only real IMAX screen in my city as all the other ones are AMC smaller digital IMAX screens.
I've seen Nolan's other films that had IMAX specific scenes at this location before that filled the whole screen and were very detailed.

Just saw it. It perfectly does what it sets out to do. But it's not a very fun or rewatchable movie. It's very similar to Gravity without the wonder of the special effects and camera work: very simple premise, very few dialogs, ticking clock, non-stop suspens. The soundtrack is oppressing and brilliant.
Still 5 out of 5 because the movie intent is perfectly executed but it's not a must-see.

Eh, wasn't anything amazing. just a "regular war movie" in many ways.
Also the "Joker theme" from Dark Knight playing from start to finish could have used some breaks to give it more rhythm. Now it was just the same intensity throughout the whole film
Didn't much care for the characters besides the hotshot pilots.

Impressive movie. Among the year's best. It really is like that Saving Private Ryan's opening sequence streched to a full movie in terms of high tension. Characters are not beefy at all, but they serve their purpose in showing all that desperation and horror that must have taken place. Techically it's just amazing. Totally enveloping (and scary) sound design and eerily effective photography done perfectly. Nolan, you've got some talent i tell you.

What's a regular war movie? Captain America?
Easily the best sounding movie I have ever heard, but I can't see myself ever needing to watch it twice. It was good.
I did not think the interconnecting timelines was good at all. I didn't feel like it added to the movie at all other than having Tom Hardy spread out through the film other than just at the end.

Independently of the quality of the film, which is obviously subjective, I didn't think it was regular at all. It was more akin to a disaster movie than to a war film, the focus predominantly on characters unable to fight back and simply attempting to survive or rescue other people.
