On the list of a million things I plan to do that first week when I get back stateside is to watch Interstellar on my bigscreen LED with some nice Jameson or Johnny Walker on hand. This book may be a follow-up to me watching this movie.
You HAVE to read the book, after watching the movie. It is must. Actually, on second read-through. This time with some notes. Doing about 15 mins a morning. And Jame-O does goes well with this one. Fuck, Jame-O goes good with almost anything.
Also, TRY and see if you can get to see it in IMAX somewhere. I heard rumors you could still see it on there. If not, then at last resort watch on the TV. Though, it is going to be rough to get a good real Hi Res copy for a while. When Nolan was asked about why he didn't send out screeners of his work that he was most proud of he was quoted as saying something like, "If they can not get off their asses to go into the movie theater to see the movie as it was intended to be seen, then fuck em". So, there are not going to any good quality copies for a long time, sadly. I will of course know instantly when one hits the webs and will PM you :) The story was very important, and was half the reason to see the film IMO, as it really moved me. However, the truth of the matter is that I also really really loved the scope, scale, and CG Science of the movie that was best seen in IMAX, and preferably 70MM IMAX too. I have seen it in Regular 35 or whatever too, and it was not that great at all. Also, I have seen the best copies out there and they are abysmal cams. Still, the movie is EPIC for us Citizens of the Stars.
