think i made a comment somewhere but the normal scenes were upconverted (albeit from a 4k source) and it was reported those images looked weak/soft

I didn't know that the regular versions of the film had horrible audio though, I noticed the dialogue issues (didn't see it in imax) and thought that was just how Nolan made it; which was quite annoying
edit: well looks like Nolan and team wanted it that way http://www.theverge.com/2014/11/17/7...sound-designer

lol i dunno if that had never been done before and i saw it today i would be like but since its from the 60's I guess I give it allowances

I think the only character I really had any empathy for was Dr. Mann.

Spoiler!

That dude got the short end of the stick. And while being a little too high and mighty during his speech, you could sense the desperation and his struggle with his humanity/guilt when he leaves Cooper to die.

Damon performed well but its just a nitpick for me i guess that his type of characters profile/m.o. has been overused for me (from other films) so i didn't really care either :/

The one thing that did have me excited, only to let me down:

Spoiler!

The possibility of seeing Cooper pilot the new generation ranger ship, which kind of looked like it might a one man fighter with have combat capability (his flight suit was coincidentally military colored). This was interesting to me because at that point, man had been able to utilize gravity, and it's possible that the fighter/ship might of used a gravatic drive instead of using conventional (as we know them) engines. That would mean the ship could utilize a singularity to generate momentum and travel at near relativistic speeds! /end sci-fi nerd rant

*sigh* Ok it wasn't exactly as bad as I'm making it out to be... but even the people I watched it with, who aren't very critical viewers felt cheated.

YES! that's a complaint I've seen and heard a lot! I'm actually pretty surprised so many ppl feel the same way about that...maybe they'll release an extended version on disc with it

I think my expectations may have been too high...i dunno..so we were pretty bummed out by it however not so let down that we would walk out of the movie (which we've done before)
