I'll wait until it's on Netflix or whatever and watch it over a couple of sessions. I'm sure that's the way Nolan intends it to be viewed.

I hope he at least gets the sound mix right.

It all takes place inside a nuclear explosion so he asked the actors to speak up a bit.

Sitting in a cinema on a (probably) pleasant Summer afternoon/evening for near 3 hours doesn't really appeal much, I can't lie.

Dunno, when it was 40c last year it would have appealed to me.

Sitting in an air conditioned cinema for hours last Summer was pretty nice, coming out into a solid wall of heat wasn't so great.

Don't talk to me about sound mix, I was born in the sound mix. Moulded by it!

That's 3 hrs for just the film. Add the that all trailers and adverts and stuff.
Either way I'm not sitting still for 3 hrs for anything anywhere. My legs and back will seize up, my arse will go numb and my prostate will attack me.

I'd be more inclined to go to the cinema for a the hour film if intermissions were still a thing.
My attention span just isn't there anymore to sustain my engagement. I blame the look a picture of funny borzoi.

I’ve killed my attention as much as the next person but you can’t concentrate on a movie plonked in front of a 50ft screen and a bone shaking sound system assaulting you? Depends on the film. I was being facetious but I've seen films much less than 3 hours where I've been checking my watch and pondering things other than what's on screen. The only reason I don't start looking at the internet at that point is because I don't want to be one of those arseholes playing on their phone in a cinema. The social expectation is a bigger barrier to fiddling about than the screen or sound system. I'm not saying that no film can sustain my interest for three hours, but those are the minority. |

If you're clock watching in a film, just leave? It's clearly not worth your time.

I’m more likely to pay attention for three hours in a cinema than the same thing at home. There’s also no way I have 3+ hours free to watch a film.

It's like what that guy said, no good movie is too long, and no bad movie is short enough. I don't particularly like most Christopher Nolan movies, but if I did, 3 hours would be nothing at all.
So yeah, if you're sitting in a theatre checking your watch, maybe the film just isn't engaging you. But if you're doing that on a regular basis for lots of movies, it feels like more of a 'you' problem.

Oh it's definitely a me problem.
If I'm watching a film by myself I usually have to take a few breaks to get tea, go to loo, etc. Even if it's a film I'm enjoying I can easily find myself looking at something online, to the point where I've frequently had to rewind 5 minutes as I'd missed some important event.

Only 30 IMAX screens worldwide can show true 70mm IMAX as Nolan filmed it.
In the UK.
BFI IMAX, British Film Institute – London, UK
Vue Manchester IMAX & The Printworks – Manchester, UK
The Ronson Theatre at the Science Museum – London, UK
Be going to the Vue to see this. May as well have my eyes and ears explode along with my bladder!

Dunkirk in 70mm at the BFI IMAX was an experience, you really need seats in the centre though, I had to tune out some of the cinema "furniture" like the odd handrail as it used every bit of what was then Europe's biggest screen.

That fucking clip of the house falling on keaton is always on twitter and reddit, so it's not a touchstone type of issue where not watching TV caused that.
He was probably just talking to someone who's completely fucking oblivious and extrapolated a whole broader thesis out of one example or that guy was trolling him because he seems really easy to wind up.

It is true though. Like when I talk about stuff that's so familiar to me and my son looks at me as if I've had an aneurysm.
I was helping to load some boats the opther day and it was a bit fiddly in places, so speaking to one of the other parents I made a stupid throwaway comment about the Krypton Factor, as you do. She laughed and the younger generation just looked at me. That's fucking freaky. Like death himself had casually sauntered past and gave me a friendly nudge on the arm. "See you soon buddy, have a good evening", followed by a cheeky grin.

I do it at work all the time. I am significantly older than most of my team and my 80/90s cultural references fall flat a lot of the time. Even today, I made a joke about Judge's Houses (before a meeting with the judiciary) and got blank looks. (I am aware it's not terribly funny but there we go, it amuses me to shoe horn these in).

There's a reason every medium is on a big nostalgia trip right now. We're all trying to desperatately cling on to things that are relevant to us and our generation and remind ourselves we're still fucking here.
