What was with the credits?

That it didn't include all people responsible for VFX.

The 70mm IMAX version basically hit the limit of the length the equipment can handle, and even treaties special extensions: https://youtu.be/d5XqqylBW7M?t=592

Is quite cool to watch the whole video, which they show how the movie is prepared before it can be projected.

hit the limit of the length

Thanks for the reminder that it's 3 hours long, the thread was making me want to go and see it.

Nolan pushed the limit of IMAX projectors with Interstellar run time in 2014, he went out of his way to find out what the maximum that could be done with platter modifications, an extra 20 minutes.
