Yeah it's imdb and it's early but this is a very promising start for the audience score

Hell no for Nolan Star Wars but Nolan Bond why not?

I think 007 fits Nolan's sensibilities as a director a lot more then Star Wars.

The  more I think about it, the  more I think Nolan is just a bad fit for Star Wars.

If this is typical of the way Regal operates, no wonder they are always on the edge of going under.

First showing on Sunday in Irvine for the 70mm presentation with the old man. I am so ready for this!

Strong overseas start. Nolan cements his legendary status. 3 hour biopic that's going to perform like a summer blockbuster. Long cinematic run expected with potential winter re-release when the award season begins and starts sweeping.

Maybe it’s because I didn’t see it in IMAX (saw it in 70mm), but the bomb scene didn’t really do it for me.

If all you went for is the Trinity scene, you went to the movie for the wrong reasons.

BTW, I think Nolan has made it clear he did not want a typical "eye candy" scene for the Trinity sequence.

I am not surprised. I knew some people would be dissapointed because there is not a lot of eye candy in the movie.

heard this from someone else too. Not just the spectacle, either, the whole thing just feels kinda flat

Eh, there have also been a ton of notices saying it's one of the best sequences Nolan has ever done

haha of course not, actually its one of the best scene compared to every nolan movies. if you guys dont believe me just check letterboxd and twitter. many pointed that scene is the best scene. also very very accurate in terms of distance.

Yeah the bomb sequence itself was good but nothing out of the ordinary for me (though I did hear some gasps in my cinema). It's the stuff after though that I think will leave people with a big impact and it's my favourite part of the movie.

yup , the scene after the test was haunting. One of the best things Nolan has ever filmed and the transition to that with how tense the test scene was I feel works as a whole

The explosion not being extraordinary is a common complaint that I have from casual viewer reviews.

I think it is clear that Nolan did not want the Trinity test sequence to be a typical big "wow" sequence; he wanted something more low key and, frankly, more frighting.
