Most of you don't know this (except the ones who were around when I was talking about extras), but I'm physically disabled. Cerebral palsy, with immense amounts of muscle tension in my entire body (it's a spasm, but all the time). It means that I jump a lot and that anything stressful makes me tense up completely. This movie was an attack, for me. I actually have muscle aches today. I spent half the movie covering one ear so I wouldn't jump as much. So loud. So unnerving. So intense. Help. Wow.

I'd actually like to see it again, maybe slightly less loud.
Major props for managing to get through such an intense film like this. Happy that you liked the film! :gonf:

Aw, you guys are all lovely. I don't think it makes me incredible, though. I mean, it was a stronger physical reaction than I've ever had (I may have misjudged how loud it was going to be, and paired with the completely unnerving music and what's actually going on in the scenes, it's a recipe for tension for all of us, I think) , but what a pleasure to get to witness a masterpiece like this!

Saw it last night! Absolutely incredible from start to finish. The performances were great, the structure was amazing, the cinematography was divine, sound mixing en editing amazing, editing amazing, couldn't spot any VFX so seamless were those, practical effects were incredible, dogfights were incredible, score is divine etc. etc. etc.

omg

I just can't even

So wonderful to see all those scenes we shot in the film

I think this is one of Nolan's best films, if not his best: truly incredible

I know right. I have no health issues (thank god), but I legit stopped breathing a couple of times. Torpedo scene was tough to watch.
