I agree. This is a 7, at best, and I'm being generous. It's a little boy's attempt at trying to do a high concept sci fi, without the intelligence and maturity to pull it off. Nolan is a skilled filmmaker, but he's very shallow intellectually. He's almost like a modern day George Lucas. very good at coming up with interesting ideas and sequences but needs smarter people to help make the most out of them.
LOL'ed when you talked about baby-faced actors trying to act grownup. This is exactly what I thought when I saw Jason Gordon Levitt. He sounded so forced with that voice he kept putting on trying to sound adult. I can't believe this is the performance that made him a movie star.
BTW, getting rid of Lukas Haas in the first sequence? Why would you get a veteran actor like him to play a character that gets written off in the beginning?
