As for Rises, I should make it clear that I actually like the film, but it ranks well below Batman Begins and The Dark Knight on my scale. The climactic fight scenes with Bain were particularly disappointing to me, especially after the inventiveness of the amazing Hallway Fight from Inception, one of the best scenes in film, period IMO.
I'll be checking out Interstellar with tempered expectations, but hopefully it will exceed them.

Interstellar is the film about finding a new planet for humans to inhabit right? Lets see...
Entire film done in CGI check
Starring Actor Mathew McCanau**** check
Sounds to me like another overrated movie with no depth or art to it whatsoever that people will think was amazing like Gravity. meh

And John Carpenter is a favorite of mine as well. Have you watched In The Mouth Of Madness yet, @Nomad?

@OldManGloom "I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of bubblegum' is without a doubt in my Top 3 best movie lines of all time.

Anyone see The Wind Rises? Wasn't my favorite Miyazaki film but he really can't miss when it comes to making great film. I have a pretty extensive list for animated movies, all my favorites of all time if anyones interested.

I've seen basically all of them however.

Edit: Looking up the title I Now realize I have seen "A Town Called Panic", I did enjoy it.

I can't lie and say that I wasn't really looking forward this movie. But, I went in with slightly tempered expectations after reading some online reviews. I'm not going to spoil anything or really get in to the plot, because that in itself, may be encroaching on spoiler territory.
Visually this is by far the most beautiful film I've ever seen. I wasn't lucky enough to be able to see it in IMAX, (not an IMAX close to me) but it was gorgeous nonetheless. Hoyte van Hoytema should win an Oscar for his cinematography. There are a few scenes that literally left me in awe. Hans Zimmer's score was also nearly perfect. His integration of the organ as an unexpected component of sound was a perfect juxtaposition with many a scene's overall tone.
There is definitely some clunky dialog. Some "questionable" pacing in the middle of the film. But an awesome story, married with FANTASTIC acting and the visual beauty made this movie a true delight for me. I like to consider myself "well educated" when it comes to watching and understanding film, and I do agree with a criticism of Interstellar that it is a little heavy handed at times. But, when you make a movie with such a breadth of fans, toning down subtlety is a necessary evil.
Overall, I loved the movie, and I hope you all give it a shot. I understand this won't be every moviegoer's cup of tea, and I respect differing opinions. I'm probably going to go see it again to see if I can pick up on new things with my new found perspective.

I plan to check it out this weekend, but I've also tempered my expectations. Major complaint I've heard is with the last act. That it gets out there, but I hold Inception as one of my all-time favorite films, so I think I'll enjoy it.
