Interstellar: just found it kind of ridiculous, outlandish, in no way believable or connected to anything even theoretically within reality. Pseudo-serious science fiction. Big budget blah.
Inception: I love Nolan but that was big swing and a miss for me. Went in excited, came out wondering where the fuss was all about.
I need to leave this thread. Interstellar is my favorite movie of all time.
Shitting on Inception and Interstellar at the same time?
My right hand curls into a fist instinctively. My left hand covers it and pats it gently.
No... I must choose peace.
I'm sorry, it just wasn't for me. A lot of people agree with you!
Iβll outright say it. Other than The Prestige and the later Batman movies, Nolan movies have been very disappointing to me. Theyβre not clever, theyβre pretentious. If you ever saw that Netflix movie where the woman dated Keanu Reaves, the part where Keanu asks the chef for a meal the plays with the concept of time is every Christopher Nolan movie in a nutshell. Also, the action sequences in Batman Begins were unnecessarily choppy, and the idea that it was somehow how a bat would see them is just silly.
Huh. Maybe I DON'T love Nolan.
Had to go look up that scene. Thank you. Thank you so much for directing me to the scene.
I do not want to see the movie, but my life is richer for having seen that scene.
The stories in both were somewhat disjointed and as with most sci-fi, requires some level of suspension of disbelief.
Nowadays, storytelling and plot takes a big backseat to action and explosions....π
"My daughter Murph. I keep gettin' older. She stays the same age."
Also, I love how he had a son who just wanted to be a farmer and that meant that Matthew McConaughey's character was justified in being totally emotionally disinterested in him, compared to his genius daughter. Seriously, at a certain point I think Nolan forgot he wrote this guy with two kids. His entire character was defined by his relationship with his daughter. Why even give him a son in the first place?
I liked both Interstellar and Inception. I hated Tenet - on how the story was told and the inaudible sound (eye roll).
