Nolan is an elitist asshole and his movies are not that great, actually. That is just him going “kids these days” like an old fart. He is all in on the IMAX scam. He insists on bad audio mixing (horrible even on theaters) hiding under the “I only mix for IMAX theaters” excuse. At least he acknowledges that it is Hollywood that is terribly out of touch with reality. Backrooms is successful because it connects with the audience nothing to do with whether it uses CGI or not (the Oppenheimer nuclear explosion scene is SO bad in an otherwise fine movie). And Backrooms was filmed on a regular digital 35mm Red camera at 1.85 ratio with regular Dolby Atmos and you can absolutely hear the dialogue. He might denounce AI slop but doesn’t realize that he’s also been using tech as a crutch to his creative shortcomings.
