With the tone of this forum all over the map lately, my sarcasm meter has been way off

I just came back from the premiere in Paris, where I saw the film in 70mm.
First of all, I had the chance to see Mr. Nolan, and shake hands with McConaughey. But the film itself is the most incredible part. I'll write my review later on (sorry for my english, I'm french but I'll try to be as clear as possible), but what I can tell you is that IT GOES FAR BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS.

I'll just make this point : for those who thought Interstellar was not Nolan's best film, you may be wrong. Do you wanna know why ? Because it's not his best film. IT IS HIS FIRST. Don't expect to see a new film that is like Inception, because it's not. Inception is an action film melted with the beautiful imagery, great writing and the fascinating imagination of Chris Nolan. But INTERSTELLAR is not an action film, it is a lot more than that. I'm not saying that his previous films were bad, not at all, I love them all as you do. But Interstellar is in a way his first film as an experienced director : it was epic and mesmerizing, but at the same time mature, humble, and very personal. It is his first film that goes far beyond his own filmography, and it announces more greatness to come.

And not understanding the scientific narration of the film should not make you hate it, because it is one of the purposes of the film, to make yourselves ask philosophical and scientific questions, such as : what will always make us human and even more human beyond time and space ? I'll let you answer to that when you will see the film.

I'll probably post my full review in a few days. AND YES, Hans Zimmer's score is the BEST score you'll hear in a theater in a long time. AND YES, Imax trailer 5 song is in it.

Please don't take to long, I want to hear more from you.

I did some calculations. There would have to be 2.4 Fresh reviews for every Rotten review to make sure that by 250 reviews, the RT score is above 70

For it to be above 74, it needs 2.9 Fresh reviews for every Rotten review by 250 reviews.

For it to reach 80, it needs 4 Fresh reviews for every Rotten reviews by 250 reviews
...

That's actually possible, i think.

That's depends if they're biased or not.

john75, without spoiling anything, did you see the problem that all the critics have had in the third act. It seems as if this film has drawn a line in the sand and people have some sort of aversion to crossing it.

bit too emotional? To me "bit too emotional" is a plus. Too scientific? We'll see, i guess.
