Interstellar receives re-release for 10th anniversary

Of course, there are many reasons, but the most appropriate one about the re-release is that Interstellar will celebrate its 10th anniversary since its first release.

The film has modernized itself to a certain extent as a classic in the science fiction genre, admired and liked by many for its bold narrative, innovative visual effects, and powerful music by Hans Zimmer.

Directed by Christopher Nolan, Interstellar dwells on themes like space exploration, human survival and the twisted nature of time, literally sticking audiences and critics at the bottom of their seats.

The rer=elease also becomes a nod towards Nolan's dedication to the preservation of the cinematic experience. Known for staying true to the film, and, even more so, adhering to Imax technology, Nolan ensures that Interstellar is presented in its original format: breathtakingly beautiful.

In bringing back the film into theatres, especially onto 70mm IMAX, audiences will be allowed to relive that same sensory and emotional experience that catapulted the movie into landmark status in contemporary cinema.
