Interstellar is arguably one of the worst films to watch via this method. The film relies on high dynamic range (HDR) to depict the blackness of space and the brightness of the wormhole.

The film begins with a team of astronauts, led by Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), a former NASA pilot, who embark on a mission to travel through a newly discovered wormhole in search of a habitable planet that can ensure the survival of humanity. As Cooper journeys through space and time, he experiences strange occurrences that challenge his perception of reality and his relationship with his daughter Murph (Jessica Chastain as the adult version).

Interstellar was filmed utilizing a mix of 35mm anamorphic film and IMAX 65mm. To truly appreciate this on a 4K screen, the file needs to support HDR (High Dynamic Range), specifically HDR10 or Dolby Vision. Lower-quality rips often strip out HDR metadata, flattening the image and losing the contrast between the deep blacks of space and the bright stars.
