Yea, Nolan said he wanted it to be like a virtual reality experience, and by the reviews it sounds like he achieved that

What separates directors like Nolan, Spielberg, Scorsese, Chazelle is that they aren't only masters at their craft, they have a unique knowledge and appreciation for the history of their craft and what its purpose is at the core (to tell the best story possible).

This is where I think the Michael Bay's of the world err. George Lucas has thesame issue too. They go for a "bigger is better" approach with technology, which isn't outright bad, except they often seem to lose focus of the actual purpose of filmmaking.
