So glad I drove the 2 and 1/2 hours to another state to see it in 70mm. I saw it in theaters 3 times but I remember that showing the most and in high regard

I drove 11 hours and crossed into Canada to see it in imax. 100% worth it

Still haven't seen it in IMAX. 🥺 Hoping they will do a rerelease or something. Anniversary or something I expect they would fill seats.

Gonna have to hold out likely for the 10 year mark, but luckily this December is the 10 year mark for Interstellar and it’s already confirmed for IMAX 70mm re screenings. Keep an eye on the r/IMAX and r/Interstellar subs for a venue list. Ticket sales go live Nov 7

Nolan's first film, Following, shot on the film on the right. :-)

16 only used for photography right ?

Filmmaking too because that 16mm cell is apparently from Following (Nolans first film)

16mm is only used for cinema; 35mm was the standard for consumer photography
