I did actually.

Saw it here when it came out:

The Cinerama Dome. Saw many a movie there back in the day. Imagine a time when if you wanted to see a movie, you needed to go see it in a theater or wait a couple of years to see most of it, interrupted by many commercials on network TV. Yuck.

Plus a year or so waiting for it to come out in Oz. There's probably half a chance Superman didn't get released in Australia until the 80s. I do remember when I saw it the first time when in the early 80s it was new to VHS.

I saw Superman 2 in 1981 at the cinema. It was my friend's birthday party.

Man, I could've sworn I knew Rosamund Pike from something other than Doom, but nothing I'm seeing is really standing out to me. I feel like she was on some TV show or something.

Oh snap. Finally saw it last weekend. My ape language skills are also inadequate it appears. :)

INTERSTELLAR

(I saw it for free so spare me the "derr you hate Nolan so why pay to go see it anyway??" crapola).

It's no secret that I'm NO fan of Nolan. But for now I'll pass on the pedantic, holier than thou rhetoric regarding my dislike of this "boy genius" and cut straight to the chase. And anyway I love deep space exploration film shit so.....

I was expecting something.....grand (?) Ambitious, yet subtle. Something that made a bold statement about the human condition and our place in the grand scheme of things. Or, hell, just a damn good ol' fashioned SPACE FILM!!! Something I could.............sink my teeth into even on a "popcorn" flick level.

Unfortunately, Nolan's Interstellar failed to provide substantial intellectual fodder or pure cotton candy entertainment. It's a herky jerky pastiche of styles, that wears its influences heavily on its sleeve - from cold, clinical Kubrick to the schmaltzy childlike wonder and misty eyed sentimentality of Spielberg and Shyamalan. And therein lies the problem - it doesn't know where it wants to go, who it's trying to impress or where its heart is.

We get characters whose actions and intentions shift wildly from one minute to the next, confusing, muddled editing, contrived plot points and bucket loads of thrown up text book physics.

Try as I might I just.......didn't care in the end. Although I can thankfully say I made it all the way through, despite a nagging desire to get up and walk out 15 minutes before the end (like several patrons during the screening I attended).

The special effects were passable but hardly "WOW"!!! And the ending (or resolution) was.....yeah, best left unsaid.

Interstellar was NOT the film I had hoped it would be nor was it anywhere NEAR the film it tried to be (probably because it tries so hard to be so many things at once).

Can only manage a 3.5 / 10 for this one.

You may even say it was a waste of time and space!! (HA!!)

<rolls around on the floor in hysterics>

Hokey pokey sentiment and crudely thrown together text book science - swimming in the murky waters of a bloated tv movie of the week.

And comparisons to the great 2001 are hilarious. It's not even a notch on the belt of Kubrick's masterpiece.

I came back from a screening of this too. Overtly ambitious, too fucking long (what's with that useless cameo scene with MD?), extreme ends of genres (sci-fi one minute and then soapy drama the next) and completely missed the mark.

I got offered a free ticket when somebody else ditched. I have a week off work and wasn't doing anything at the time so...

Anyway, if nothing else it was good for a laugh.
