2025 IMAX UK Re-Release JDW: You don't believe in God, or the future, or anything outside your own experience! KB: The rest is belief, and I don't have it. JDW: Without it, you're not human. You're just a madman! KB: Or a God... of sorts JDW: Like I said! There's an ungodly amount of bias in this but I don't care... this film... hoooooly fuck this film. My first exposure to this was only on a Blu-Ray I haphazardly bought while collecting Christopher Nolan's filmography on physical. There is no better way to describe this film than it's a true hidden gem. - Shot Composition: Perfect, crisp, detailed, it knows where it wants to be and why in every. single. frame. Very few films can achieve that. - Lighting: Perfect, I adore the colour in this, it's unbelievably rich. - Set Design: All on location... fuckin perfect. Can't beat that if you can afford it. - Sound Design: BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, it's so real... so visceral, it's extremely satisfying. - Soundtrack: Heavenly. This is Ludwig's very best, no argument. - Story: Epic, breathtaking, wicked sense of scale and stakes, amazing rewatch value. - Characters: Intriguing... I'm so glad to finally have some subtlety in a modern film. - Casting: Perfect, not a single weak link in the entire runtime. - Highlights: Robert Pattinson's Neil, Ludwig Goransson's score, Travis Scott's music, all of the cinematography, the SOUND, the mystery, every single twist, and just the overall feel and vibe of the entire thing. - Downside: Awkward depiction of domestic violence... it works for the characters for sure but some bits could have been cut out. This is my only gripe with the whole thing and it was supposed to make us uncomfortable anyway... I can sort of let it slide but at the same time it's still weird. I can see why Christopher Nolan insists on the audience seeing his films in the cinema... especially in an IMAX screen, it is the pinnacle experience for these films and so much more satisfying than seeing it on just your TV or VR headset. Every audio, visual, background and character detail is crystal clear and it's awesome. I was so excited to sit down and watch this the proper way. It's Nolan's least "heartfelt" picture but at the same time his most raw, detailed and visceral, before Oppenheimer stormed onto the scene this was the most "practical" Nolan had ever gotten and it shines all the way through. Had this been released at a better time than peak fuckin Covid it would have been an absolute phenomenon if not a globally significant conundrum. This. Fucking. Film. My #1 of all time. 10/10
