INTERSTELLAR Returns to IMAX with 12 Minutes of Behind-The-Scenes Footage
Christopher Nolan's Interstellar is one of the filmmaker's most ambitious movies to date, and its soaring visuals are best witnessed on the largest possible screen. Luckily for those of you who missed the movie the first time around - or for those of you who loved it so much you want to see it again - Paramount is putting the movie back in select IMAX theaters. The bad news? It will only be in theaters for one day: this Saturday, February 21st, 2015.
But there's good news, too. The press release says the along with the theatrical cut of the movie, the screening "will feature more than 12 minutes of never-before-seen exclusive behind-the-scenes content." And if that wasn't enough, it also promises that at some locations, "Moviegoers who purchase a ticket at a participating AMC Theatres box office to see “An Encore of Interstellar: The IMAX Experience®” can receive an additional ticket free." Sounds like a decent deal.
Even though I'm a big Nolan fan, I have to admit I was disappointed by Interstellar. I went into it having avoided every trailer and TV spot, and while I liked the first half of the movie, I thought it went off the rails near the end. Seeing it again in IMAX free of the lofty expectations I had for it might be a good way to come to terms with the movie. And I'm always a sucker for making-of featurettes on Blu-rays and DVDs, so I'm guessing I'll like the new behind-the-scenes stuff. What did you think about the film? Did it live up to your expectations?
