Hope its better than Dunkirk.
That movie was turrible.
shareI liked it, besides it was much better than anything I've seen from Hollywood since then.
shareI guess I didn't get it, but Interstellar was a cinematic masterpiece. So thats weird I didn't like it.
shareSorry Bubba, but Interstellar sucked donkey balls. And so did Douchekirk. Nolan is a mess. Only noteworthy film was Insomnia, probably cuz it was written by someone else.
shareInterstellar is one of the greatest films ever made, Dunkirk was a complete letdown. Don't get me wrong, it's very well made visually but there is absolutely nothing under the surface.
shareAgree on Douchekirk, disagree on IS
shareThat's the point. It's about transplanting you into an experience of the realities of a day of war, which is far removed from the glorified version we often get.
Not every movie needs a subtext.
That may have been the point but it was still poorly done. If you don't know anything about any of the people involved its pretty hard to give a shit. Dunkirk wasn't emotionally deep or anything, it was just an action fest plain and simple just like Black Hawk Down and We Were Soldiers. Definitely Nolan's worst film.
shareI saw it in IMAX and found it super immersive. I haven't seen it since so maybe it was just that environment that got me caught up in it (in a good way).
Having seen 1917 since this I'm even more sold on Dunkirk as a great war movie. 1917 was way too Hollywood with so many far fetched elements one after the other. Based on a true story but I can't believe it played out as illustrated.
Tenet seems like a real mystery at this stage.
1917 was infinitely better than Dunkirk, I have never left a movie theater so disappointed after I saw Dunkirk, also Dunkirk was beyond cliched so I don't know what you're talking about.
shareJumping off a bridge and then randomly washing up right where you need to be within 5 minutes of being too late. That was where my suspension of disbelief ran out.
shareIt didn’t happen instantaneously we are supposed to assume a lot of time went by based on how the scene is edited. Also I never said 1917 was great, I said it was better than Dunkirk which is was. The entire ending with Tom Hardy someone taking out the entire enemy when he’s out of fuel was equally implausible
shareThe last good film that Nolan made was Inception
Everything since then has been pretentious and messy. Always very pretty to look at due to his super IMAX cameras, but awkwardly, stiffly written. Some directors are better off when they let others write the film. Scorsese, Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Hitchcock
But the most egomaniacal of directors always want to write their own movies. Tarantino, Woody Allen (good director, but probably the most self-absorbed person alive) Paul Thomas Anderson, Stanley Kubrick, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, NOLAN...they always want writing credit. The lousier writers among them usually share writing credit w/ a co-writer
Nolan needs to stop writing his own movies. His characters are always emotionless and robotic. Nolan has never written a character that even comes close to the level of depth that was achieved w/ Heath Ledger's Joker, leading me to believe that either Goyer deserves most of the credit, or it was a total fluke, which I've always suspected
But what can we say about any character in Inception beyond Dom Cobb? They're all one-dimensional characters w/ zero personality
I don't even remember a single interesting, defining feature of any character in Interstellar. In fact, I don't even remember the names of any of the characters.
Dark Knight Rises. We don't know much about Bane other than he is evil and super strong and has a cool british robot voice. I don't even know what the point of the Robin character was, he was not given anything important to do. Catwoman, boring and bland take on the character, Talia Al Ghul totally forgettable
He and his brother are both shitty writers
