I went to watch Interstellar mainly due to the 70mm film scenes as it is rumored to be the last 'True 70mm' showing at the BFI IMAX before they get rid of their film projectors and stick with their (not as good) digital projectors.
I have been to the BFI IMAX several times in the past.

I went to watch Interstellar mainly due to the 70mm film scenes as it is rumored to be the last 'True 70mm' showing at the BFI IMAX before they get rid of their film projectors and stick with their (not as good) digital projectors.
I have been to the BFI IMAX several times in the past. Each time, i had a poor experience due to grainy/noisy image, distorted sound, dirt on the screen, dust/hair caught in the projector/lens which was projected onto the screen. And once when someone else took my seats and refused to give them up. The staff didn't assist!
This time however, i thought, "it's been a few years, maybe things have changed, they have a new screen fitted and hopefully the audio has been sorted out too."
So how was it? The exact same! Sucky audio quality, grainy picture, dust/dirt on the screen/projector lens, the most uncomfortable seating experience EVER!
3 times I've been, each time it was horrible. Never again. Will never step foot in the BFI IMAX again.
Thank God the movie didn't suck!
