if you've never seen the movie, don't watch the video.

O, I thought he meant for Digital IMAX instead of 70mm

From what I’ve gathered, a lot of theaters turned down Interstellar to keep Moana 2 in the IMAX screens longer

that's dumb as hell.

Indy could have this movie sell out for a month straight.

(TOP) Early in the film Professor Brand tells Cooper: “Something sent you here. They chose you.” Here we’re led to believe that those responsible for the wormhole and gravitational anomalies “chose” Cooper to save the remaining people on earth.

(MIDDLE) Cooper tells Murph: “They chose me. Murph, they chose me. You’re the one who led me to ‘em.” Here Cooper emphasizes to Murph (and to the audience) that he has been chosen by the “They” behind the gravitational anomalies at their farm (the NASA dust coordinates in binary, the fallen books, the corrupted navigation system in the Indian Surveillance Drone, and compass interference in the harvester and automated farm machines).

(BOTTOM) After realizing that he and TARS brought themselves to this moment, to be the bridge (and messengers) between the fifth-dimension and our third-dimensional world, Cooper then communicates via backward-in-time gravitational forces by manipulating the world tube dust lines, sending his younger self and Murph the coordinates to NASA in binary. It’s here where it dawns on Cooper and the audience that it was his future self who led his younger self to NASA (a “causal loop” that has always existed). Ironically, Cooper also realizes that the bulk beings didn’t choose him after all. Cooper, while looking into the room with falling dust, delightedly says to TARS, “I thought they chose me. But they didn’t choose me. They chose her….to save the world!”

This is another instance of Nolan brilliantly employing “situational irony” into the narrative. For the majority of the film we are led to believe that Cooper was chosen by the bulk beings of the future to save the world. (Both Professor Brand and younger Cooper reinforce this). But in a surprising ironic twist, after Cooper enters the Tesseract he realizes the bulk beings actually chose Murph to save the world - not him. Further, he discovers what his and TARS’s role is - to be the bridge between dimensions and to communicate - to send a message (the quantum data) to Murph by exerting gravitational forces across spacetime so she can solve the problem of gravity and save the remaining people on Earth.

For a movie touted to be grounded in realistic physics, I do have one main complaint, and its not the time dilation or tesseract.
It is the seemingly endless supply of fuel (delta-V) their ship has. I mean, they realistically are launched by a booster from earth, then the movie turns on infinity fuel mode. They can fly off of other planet surfaces and return to space with ease ala star wars. Even with enough fuel left over to dock with a de-orbiting space station and push it back to orbit. Not to mention escaping black hole gravity. If you have ever played Kerbal, you know what I mean.

The fuel source does seem excessive based on their travel, but I thought it was consistently addressed throughout the film.

After leaving the wave planet, they discuss the choice between Mann’s or Edmund’s because they only have enough fuel to visit one and return home.

Cooper detaches in the slingshot maneuver around the black hole because they don’t have enough fuel after the docking maneuver to get Brand to Edmund’s planet.

From reddit:

if you aren't sitting front row centre for the IMAX then you can't pretend you're watching Interstellar projected onto the side of Cooper Station

Can’t wait. Never saw this in IMAX and I’m surprising my son. He loves this movie and soundtrack.
