1930 Full of anticipation
The premieres in Los Angeles and New York ended one after another, and the media comprehensive reviews were released under great anticipation, which also marked the official debut of "Interstellar"!
It is true that there are still a lot of ambiguities in the word-of-mouth evaluation part, even in the middle and praise, the attitude of the film critics is still reserved, in the twenty-eight praise outside the ten perfect scores, the wide range of scores clearly proves this: each audience's viewing experience may be different, may like or dislike, and may not be dispensable...... Inability to make accurate judgments.
But what is certain is that the completion of the work and the theater appreciation value have met expectations, and Nolan and Lan Li's partner has successfully burst out of chemistry, which is undoubtedly the most anticipated part of the audience - and now it has finally come true, which also makes the movie undoubtedly the most watchable work in this year's summer file, and even remove the "one", it is estimated that many enthusiastic audiences are willing to nod their heads to show their support.
Seventy-nine points of media comprehensive evaluation, the 2014 summer file deserves the strongest word-of-mouth work, this is the best evidence!
Of course, for popcorn in the summer file, the reference value of the media comprehensive review is relatively limited, because this is a comment from professional film critics, who more or less still pay more attention to the depth and height of the core idea of the movie, and it is inevitable to examine the work from a more demanding and tricky perspective - just look at the comments that complain about "inferior soap operas", but these views are not pursued by the main audience groups of the summer file.
In other words, the market demand cannot be matched.
Ordinary viewers still believe more in the freshness index of Rotten Tomatoes, which is a score from the mass media According to statistics, it even includes opinion leaders on social networks, etc., which are more down-to-earth and more humane, and the popcorn used to measure the summer file is really suitable;
So, what about the reviews related to "Interstellar"?
Rotten Tomatoes freshness index, 83%, 347 mass media comprehensive score of 8.1 points.
Popcorn index, 88%.
Theater score, B+.
The above relevant data can clearly see a step-by-step effect presentation -
The Rotten Tomatoes Freshness Index from the mass media is still certified as "fresh", and the 83 percent figure is really good.
The popcorn index from the majority of netizens also exceeded 85 percent, although it was not able to further break through the 90 percent threshold, which was not able to push the maximum value for the box office prospects of commercial films, but it is still a positive data.
The theater score from the general public in the theater chain was not able to get "A", which can be regarded as a frontal blow for the long-term box office stamina, but the theater score of "Inception" is also only "B+", which also proves that this kind of brain-burning movie is not very friendly to ordinary audiences, and there is indeed a certain constraint in the North American box office market, and there is definitely no way to be as suitable as Marvel movies.
From the media to young netizens to the audience, the review feedback data shows a stepwise decline, and on the whole, the review views all easily exceed the average level of commercial films, which also proves that the movie is a successful "popcorn";
In fact, the horizontal analogy between "Interstellar" and "Inception" is the most appropriate method.
In terms of media reviews, "Interstellar" is slightly better, Rotten Tomatoes freshness index and popcorn index, "Inception" has a slight advantage, and in terms of theater scores, the two works are equal.
To put it simply, "Interstellar" and "Inception" are very close to each other, which is also expected: audiences who like Nolan tend to be consistent. Then, those who like it will continue to like it, and those who hate it will still stay away from the theater, at least the wishes of the target audience are still satisfied.
Finally, there is the IMDB score.
As a gathering place for veteran movie fans, the authoritative reference of IMDB scores is undoubted, and the list of 250 best works in film history is regarded as the first choice for movie fans. In recent years, Nolan's strong appeal in the entire North American market has been vividly reflected in IMDB -
"Memory Fragments", "Mystery of the Shadow", "Deadly Magic", "The Dark Knight", "Inception" and "The Dark Knight Rises", Nolan's works occupy six positions in IMDB's 250 best list!
With the premiere of Interstellar, the scoring system was officially opened, and although it is only in its infancy, the data will be of limited reference value until the end of the premiere weekend, but it is undeniably a very important indicator:
Start at 8:8!
Ranked in the top 10 of IMDB's 250 Best Movie History!
Of course, everyone knows that with the advancement of time, the number of ratings will gradually increase, and the score will inevitably fall back, and the current data is sought after by enthusiastic fans, but despite this, the performance of 8.8 still caused an exclamation, which also witnessed the Nolan miracle again!
In IMDB's rating system, Lan Li is far from having the appeal of Nolan - because Lan Li's role is still dominated by artistic and independent acting challenges, and the overall market acceptance of the work is relatively limited, so far, among the two hundred and fifty best lists, Lan Li has not produced a single work.
Yes, not a single one.
In fact, works such as "Love is Crazy", "Edge of Tomorrow", "Gravity" and "Drunken Country Folk" were all on the IMDB list of masterpieces when they first opened, but with the increase in the rating base, they have successively fallen out of the list, and now the highest-rated works are not "Gravity" or "Drunken Country Ballads", but - "Edge of Tomorrow", based on the evaluation of 190,000 people, the average score reached 7.9, which is still a line away from the eight points that entered the lowest standard on the list.
Nolan's "Interstellar" undoubtedly caused a tsunami on IMDB, and it also became the highest-rated work in the history of Lanli among veteran fans and netizens!
At 8:8, this also made "Interstellar" surpass the "Lord of the Rings" series, "Inception", "Fight Club", "Forrest Gump" and other film history classics, and temporarily entered the top ten on the IMDB list of masterpieces-
Take a look at the other works in the top ten, "The Shawshank Redemption", "The Godfather" Part 1 and 2, "The Dark Knight", "Schindler's List", "The Twelve Angry Men", "Lord of the Rings 3", "Vulgar", etc., all of which are works that shine in film history, and now "Interstellar" has also briefly joined their ranks, and it has deservedly become the most watched and anticipated work since the opening of the summer file, detonating the audience's frenzy.
From media reviews to Rotten Tomatoes to theater scores and IMDB, the market reputation of "Interstellar" has been unveiled step by step!
In fact, it's a very interesting process of advancement, like a wave of wheat blown by the wind, spread out layer by layer.
Because of Warner Bros.'s rash moves, the early publicity stage of "Interstellar" seriously lacked sufficient breadth and depth, which also made the premiere more or less empty-hearted, but relying on the huge topic effect of the Los Angeles premiere and the New York premiere, it detonated the focus on social networks, and then the feedback range was fully rolled out from the media to the general public, and the number of comments and information also skyrocketed rapidly.
It's impossible to estimate the ratio of online popularity to box office figures, but it's safe to assume that the opening weekend was finally as much attention as expected – and even more than expected.
"Nolan + Hall, if you miss it, you don't know how long you'll have to wait!"
"Hale's partners Hathaway and Chastain must go to the cinema!"
"I heard that the reputation of 'Interstellar' has exploded again?"
"If you like Inception, then you can't refuse Interstellar. ”
"Nolan strikes again, must be supported!"
"The young master is fighting for the summer file again?
"The highest expectation of this year's summer file, there is really no reason to miss such a cast lineup!"
"If you were to pick just one movie to watch this summer, it would definitely be 'Interstellar!'"
"I'm looking forward to it, it's really rare for the young master to compete in the summer file again! Even if it's a bad movie like 'Twilight', I have to watch it three times in the cinema!"
"It's really not easy to wait for the young master to star in a commercial film, and it's also a partner Nolan!
"Tickets for Friday and Saturday are booked for two consecutive days, so I'm ready to watch it with my friends and then with my girlfriend!"
"The top 10 of the year are booked in advance, isn't it, so fast? It's only June!"
"It's Lan Li-Hall again, well, I'm a little hesitant, I don't know if I want to watch it, but Nolan's words, it seems to be worth looking forward to?"
"The conundrum of the century: Leonardo DiCaprio or Ranley Hall, who is more charismatic? Anyway, when I first watched Inception, I didn't notice Leonardo at all, my eyes were on Tom Hardy and Joseph Gordon Levitt, and I wonder if Ranley could avoid such a fate. ”
"I heard that Lan Li actually plays Timothée Chalamet's father? What? I'm not mistaken? The two of them are only six years apart in their birth years, okay?"
"Is it going to change? Lan Li suddenly started playing Dad? What the hell is going on? I crossed over?"
Piles of comments followed by the excitement spread on social networks, no matter how much they complained, no matter how much they looked forward to it, no one knew if they would actually go into the cinema to watch "Interstellar", but at least the heat of the discussion topic did not fall, which also made more and more eyes gathered on "Interstellar".
Then, the full release officially began!
