While the Playlist team debated the best format to see Christopher Nolan‘s ambitious and flawed "Interstellar," the semi-hysteria over the sound mix and whether or not watching the movie in something other than 70mm was a crime seems a bit silly now. At the end of the day, we’re all going to be watching the film again on inadequately sized, grain free television sets, where "Interstellar" will only be viewed in a fraction of its big screen majesty. I’m kidding, but perhaps now that the hype has died down, we’ll have another chance to assess Nolan’s big sci-fi flick.
Warner Bros. has announced that "Interstellar" will dock on Blu-ray on March 31st. The extras are plentiful and detailed below, but perhaps the most nerd-tastic little bauble to come with each set is a cell from the IMAX prints of the movie. Whether you turn it into an anklet or take it out once in a while and hold it up to the light and give it a good squinting? That’s up to you. Check out the plethora of extras below and let us know if this is a must-buy for you. [Rope Of Silicon]

Theatrical Trailers
Yeah I think you are right James Rocchi, since both movies were the same genre with with very similar storylines and effects. It is easy to compare the two.
By the way, I like the authors adjective of "flawed" when he mentions the title of the film. Do you also use the word "perfect" before you describe anything that meets that definition? Because I am sure you are aware that there are very few perfect things in this world, unless of course you are talking about Olympic Diving scores, which would mean that pretty much mostly everything is "flawed", such as you. From now on I want to see "flawed" before your name.
I still think that you are a retard. – Batman
I still think the movie sucked. Selma was better than this.
was there a problem with audible dialogue? i remember hearing everything fine.
No mention of audible dialogue as a special feature, so forget it.
For this, I\’m gonna throw my DVD player in the trash and get blu-ray finally.
