Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

and ordered SteelBook™. obviously. look forward to this!

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

So Best Buy is the way to go to get all the features. Ok.

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

Meh. Amazon will probably be cheaper so I'll order it from them.

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

I was frustrated enough with parts of this movie that it will probably be the first movie from Nolan that I haven't purchased right away. I'll probably get it when it's super cheap.

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

I pre-ordered the Amazon one.

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

Walmart wins this one for me, but I'm a sucker for extra features. Might be a toss up between that and Best Buy. I still haven't seen it.

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

Steelbook for me for sure

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

The only extra "features" in the Walmart set are the packaging and the 48-page book. Nothing extra on the discs themselves.

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

so wait - I'm confused --- Walmart's edition is the only one with the 70mm cell - right?

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

From the way I read it... seems like they...all have a film cell? The national and exclusives is what what it said. Reads like they all have them...but.... I don't know really.

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

Pictures and descriptions in the article are confusing, but per the write-up, it does say this: "Additionally, all exclusives and the national release come packed with a 70MM IMAX film cell (while supplies last)."

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

this shall be mine

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

Yeah, I realize that. I'm one of the few people that like that magnet packaging, though.

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

Based on reactions I've seen, response is positive towards that case.

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

Curious what they do with the sound (anyone who saw the film in Imax knows that during action scenes, the dialogue was not mixed very loud, & that lead to complaints amongst fans)

Also will this contain the 'imax' version? where the imax scenes cut to 1:78

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

Yes, it will.

Gah! So many choices! Lots of reading to do.

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

I like the Wal-Mart one the best, but I'd rather not have to step inside a WM...

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

+1

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

Can you not order it online?

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

Ew, and be in WM's database, and give them my home info?

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

They already have my info via Vudu. Damn dirty apes :(

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

+2. Even ordering online, I hate to line their pockets. Decisions, decisions.

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

A good blind buy?

This looks like the regular version at Wal-Mart unless they decide to list the Neo exclusive on the release date or it is already sold out?

I liked Inception though I did not understand everything and I own that plus the Prestige and all the Nolan Batman movies.

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

i'm blind buying this, DVD Talk gave it a stellar review and i have the SteelBook™ preordered from Target. i said fuck it. i'll just get it, i'm sure it will be good...

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

I blind-bought a movie ticket and thought it was worth it. :shrug:

I got to see it in IMAX 15/70, as they won't be making any more prints, it was a bit of a bittersweet treat. Whether you like it or not, it's a film worth seeing and talking about, and IMO that makes it worthwhile.

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

I enjoyed this even though it's a super long movie. I'll probably pick it up, but not sure if I'll do it right away. Glad it has some good bonus material.

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

Price just went down to $19.99.

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

I think it is close to 3 hrs long and somebody in another board wanted more visual pizzazz so I assume maybe there were not a lot of special effects but more character development.

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

I'd advise a rental. I thought it was pretty good, but it feels like a 4 hour movie and not something I will probably watch again.

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

I really enjoyed it the first time I saw it, and liked it more the second time.

The things that bothered me during the first run weren't quite as bothersome the second time around, and for some reason this is a movie that got my imagination rolling which is pretty rare these days.

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

Confused by the exclusives in regards to the IMAX scene ratio. Will all versions have the larger IMAX scenes inserted in the movie or will only one store being carrying that version. I know we have Wal-Mart carry the only IMAX option as an exclusive before.

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

Might pick up the WM version if I can find one that doesn't have package damaged from shoving it into a security case.

Are the extra features from BB on the discs, or are they downloadable content?

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

To the best of my knowledge, all Blu-ray editions will have the shifting IMAX aspect ratios. Not sure about the DVDs versions.

The only time Walmart ever had an exclusive IMAX version of a movie was Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

It must be sold out...I ordered one and it's in the shipping process - due to arrive by April 3rd.

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

Do we know if the extra content from BB is on the disc? It's a paramount thing too soooooo maybe? They usually do that.

Re: Interstellar - March 31
 

I hope not. I remember when the Man of Steel Steelbook came out in 2013 Walmart waited until the release date to post it on their site.
