My dad brought me to see this movie on release, I was 10. Now 17 years later on second watch this movie is a perfect potrayal of post irony and post-postmodernism. Similar to how Shakespeare was seen as low-brow, but becomes genre defining-thatâs this film.
i didnât get to watch interstellar when it initially came out but lady luck loves me and i got to experience watching this masterpiece at the cinema at just the right place and time (with a fully developed brain and plenty of knowledge about the topics at hand).
a few years back i also watched disneyâs hercules and it was glorious so whatever the movie is i think everyone should take advantage of theatrical re-releases.
Perfectly executed, believable near-future apocalyptic (which is the best genre IMO) story thatâs really bleak on its premise but then also a hopeful story. Acting is great, aesthetic is great, soundtrack is great, story is great, cinematography is really great.
Above all, it has great rewatch potential and is memorable, which is my top criteria for movie recs because I canât recommend a movie I donât remember.
I know there is no shortage of discussion and appreciation for this but I just saw the directors cut at the Alamo and it really clicked this time
I watched it first in eighth grade study hall on my phone constantly looking over my shoulder especially during that scene and then the second time in a dorm lounge with everyone else mad at me for picking such a âweirdâ movie (however those same friends liked infinity pool when we went so I donât really know what couldâve been that much more off putting about this)
It is just so well done and I love all the buildings that were actually constructed
I also love all the moments of silence throughout they really just elevated the discomfort of everything happening
Also for how fucked up it is it is also so funny which I love
Acting is phenomenal too I love William Jackson Harper, Florence Pugh and Will Poulter
Unrelated note: diet coke is THE drink of the people there were 9 other people in the theater and literally every one of them ordered a Diet Coke
