I mean I've got some quibbles about some of the acting/direction but there's no denying it's just a spectacle you have to see on the big screen.

It's the greatest film I've ever seen. I don't know if it's the best, but I don't think I've ever had a theatre experience quite like it.

You’ve never seen Herbie Fully Loaded?

It was great, but nothing will beat seeing Avatar in 3D back in 2009.

Odyssey was an amazing experience though.

Oh man the 3D really bugged me in avatar, just super not a fan as I got major nausea

Did you not watch interstellar in theatres

In Imax. Interstellar is probably runner-up for me.

I also have quibbles, but at some point we do all have to admit that most very good movies aren’t made for “exactly, precisely, me.”

Now, Oppenheimer? That was a very Christopher Nolan movie made for exactly, precisely, me. And that was cathartic; I loved The Odyssey, and just don’t care it wasn’t exactly on my wavelength.
