I think the movie overall was okay but I just could not stand the overuse of shaky-cam in it. It's like they edited it specifically to be shown in those D-Box seats. Like, I understand that rocket launches are pretty shaky endeavors, but to be using the shaky cam in the _kitchen_ was just way over the top.
- dblohm7 8y agoYep. The only time the camera was stable was on the lunar surface itself.
- ingenieros 8y agoPolygon had a really interesting article about the use of different film formats (IMAX, Super 16mm, 35mm) in order to convey different emotions in the viewer. https://www.polygon.com/2018/10/14/17971246/first-man-imax-damien-chazelle-moon-landing https://www.polygon.com/2018/10/14/17971246/first-man-imax-d...
- macintux 8y agoAs much as Indianapolis feels a bit like a backwater, having one of the few true IMAX theaters has been such a great experience. Being able to see Dunkirk on that screen would have been worth driving hours for.
- twothumbsup 8y agoDefinitely, I was able to see Interstellar at the one in the state museum -- I haven't rewatched it since because nothing could compare to that experience.
- joshvm 8y agoOverall production was great. There was very little noticeable CGI, they used miniatures extensively and all the in-aircraft shots were filmed in motion-simulators in front of a massive LED wall that apparently made most of the crew ill. Gosling was even coached by an X-15 pilot on what buttons to push during filming. https://youtu.be/wZEcwrBcqGs?t=42 https://youtu.be/wZEcwrBcqGs?t=42 (see also about 8:40)
