This may have been the most beautiful movie I have ever seen. I am overwhelmed by the word, dedication, and just downright brain power it took to put this film together. There’s nothing original in the plot, but the vision and execution of every single little detail… holy shit.
At the end, I started applauding. In about 5 seconds, the theater picked up on it, and in 10 seconds, all were applauding. And for a 2:40pm showing on a Monday afternoon, that place was packed.
I’ll go more into it as the conversation develops… I just spent my energies writing a 25th anniversary appreciation post about Titanic. But this film is spectacular, if you miss it on the big screen without an appropriate excuse (you’re an astronaut, you’re dead, you’re James Cameron and have already seen it), that’s solely on you.
Don’t do that.
BTW, I saw it in IMAX, no 3D. 3D doesn’t work with my wonky eyes, so I didn’t lose anything I could’ve had.
