I'd be behind Gravity as long as most people haven't seen it.

Seriously not gravity.

Not unless we're suspended in the air and watch it on a screen the size of a small city.

Because watching that shit on my laptop was like watching paint dry. In space.

Exactly. I loved it on IMAX. HBO at home left a lot to be desired. It's also kind of a one night stand movie to me. I came, I saw, it'll never thrill me like the first time. Great movie but it's no 2001.

Side ?: What's everybody's take on Interstellar?

It's going to be beautiful. I already have a space-boner.

I'm really excited for Interstellar. They managed to bring along Kip Thorne who is a huge contributor to gravitational physics and applying the theory of relativity to astrophysics. As he said in the below video the visual effects team was able to visualize a black hole out of a set of equations that Kip wrote and in his words "black holes are never showed accurately". So this brings my hopes up. A couple of links on this:

I watched it in 5.1 on a 92" screen and it was still pretty stupid.

I watched it in 2.0 on a 10" screen and would also not recommend the experience.

It's a pretty great film, I'd recommend it to anyone.
