Heh, first it was criticism of the credits, now is what should and shouldn't be in the movie. If you know better, why don't you make your own movie that will put Nolan to shame?

What was with the credits?

That it didn't include all people responsible for VFX.

The 70mm IMAX version basically hit the limit of the length the equipment can handle, and even treaties special extensions: https://youtu.be/d5XqqylBW7M?t=592

Is quite cool to watch the whole video, which they show how the movie is prepared before it can be projected.

hit the limit of the length

Thanks for the reminder that it's 3 hours long, the thread was making me want to go and see it.

For what it's worth, it doesn't feel like three hours. It's dense and moves at a nice clip.

It was among the fastest 3 hours of my life friend, I definitely recommend it. Masterpiece.

Saw it last night in IMAX. There were no parts that dragged. It did not feel like 3 hours and was very engaging the whole time. I'm still reflecting on it. Go see it if you can in IMAX

Nolan pushed the limit of IMAX projectors with Interstellar run time in 2014, he went out of his way to find out what the maximum that could be done with platter modifications, an extra 20 minutes.
