Saw on local news the studio has a huge 18-wheeler parked outside the National WW1 Museum here. It holds 70 people and they're showing a 5-minute prologue of the movie. Seats are equipped with subwoofers. Thinking of checking it out but have a feeling it'll just be an extended trailer. But it's free.

It is a gimmick, I don't think anyone bitches about stuff like that normally though.

really surprised at the runtime (106min). Usually Nolan's newer movies are grand in scope and time. this seemed ripe for over 2 at minimum, more like 2.5. i guess we'll see. really love a good war movie. Hacksaw Ridge i thought was fantastic.

I checked the AMC website for ticket prices, and the 70mm showing cost the same as the 35mm showing at the Alamo, I might have to go to Town Center after all to see it.

I was checking last Friday and it looked like the 70mm was cheaper. I was looking at the earliest show times. Maybe I was misreading but AMC was $5.99 and Alamo was like $10. This was for the 24th. And I usually spend $20 for food/drink at Alamo. So I might opt for AMC.

I just got advanced screening tickets to see this tonight. I also have a dentist appointment, so hopefully I can get it moved to make it work out

If you follow Stuckmann, you know he's a big fan of Nolan. He's given several of his films his highest rating of A+. He gave Dunkirk an A. He said the movie focuses on just the battle without a lot of character development. He touched on the short runtime, saying it was perfect.
He recommended seeing the movie on the biggest screen you can.
