Director Christopher Nolan's "$4" - starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway on a space mission to save the future of the human race - is $4.
The film doesn't hit theaters until November 7th, but the handful of lucky fans and entertainment insiders who saw the movie during a few $4:
all i can say about interstellar is this: run, don't walk, to your IMAX theatre. see it in its intended format.
- Schrader (@YoyodyneInc) $4
Even directors like $4 only had praise for the project:
Dazzled by the ambition & intelligence of Chris Nolan's INTERSTELLAR. Terrific performances, haunting imagery, WOW. See it in 70MM IMAX.
- Brad Bird (@BradBirdA113) $4
But the minute critics finally saw the film earlier this week, the rave reviews came to a halt. It turns out "Interstellar" may not be the Oscar sweeping movie everyone thought it was going to be.
"'Interstellar' Lifts Off, But There's Still No Oscar Frontrunner," The Wrap writer Steve Pond titled $4.
Pond explains: "'Interstellar' is a big, extravagant film that will clean up when it comes to below-the-line nominations, and a touching movie that could figure into the Oscar acting races. But it isn't the one thing that this year's race has been missing: a frontrunner."

In Forbes contributor $4 he writes that "Christopher Nolan's ambitious outer-space adventure is more admirable for its intentions than for its overall execution."
$4, saying: "Christopher Nolan's post-Batman epic gens up on the physics, gets down with the grandeur, rattles down a wormhole and gets lost in space."
In his review, Barnes writes of the film: "It wants to awe us into submission, to concede our insignificance in the face of such grand-scale art. It achieves that with ease. Yet on his way to making an epic, Nolan forgot to let us have fun."
"Interstellar" currently has just a $4, which is fairly low compared to Nolan's past films like 2010's $4, or 2008's $4.
Looks like "Interstellar" star Matthew McConaughey, who $4 for "Dallas Buyer's Club," may not be bringing home that statue two years in a row.
But the negative reviews aren't hurting box office projections.
"Interstellar" is slated to rake in an estimated $76 million opening weekend, per $4, which also projects the film will earn $340 million total domestically.
Despite the negative reviews, there are still a few positive posts out there, $4, which says, "Christopher Nolan hopscotches across space and time in a visionary sci-fi trip that stirs the head and the heart in equal measure."
