This is exactly the movie I go to theaters for but fuck all that right now. Anyone know is it gonna be in theaters for longer than usual in an attempt to make its budget back or will it hit streaming soon?

 

Comes out on Blu-Ray in December

 

Now that is a gift I did not expect! Hyped!

 

I saw this in the theaters and honestly it's just maddening. It makes fuck-all for sense. It's one of the best worst movies I've ever seen. The thing (machine / contraption / I don't even fucking know because the movie make no sense) at the end looked so dumb.

To be clear: Bad movie, entertaining experience.

Edit: It was a drive-in theater - I'm not going into a theater until we have a vaccine.

 

Wish there was a Drive-in near me. Ah well.

At this point I'm mostly looking forward to seeing what makes it so confusing. Most of Nolan's movies aren't, but everyone saying that its a clusterfuck of nonsense has me curious to observe the trainwreck aspect. Worst case scenario it'll be an entertaining one with impressive visuals and setpieces

 

As long as you go in with that mindset I think you'll enjoy it. I vastly changed my expectations about a 1/4 way through the movie when I realized there was going to be no energy put into making any of the movie make even a lick of sense.

 

12/15

 

kind of surprised by that, but glad I'll get to watch!

 

they're right

 

drip drip

 

Watching this now and the music is way too loud and the hand to hand combat is terribly choreographed

 

Lol the scene where Kat is pointing a gun at her husband is comedy

 

What a dumb movie

 

yeah it's just not very good. there are some good moments, but as a whole, bad

 

I want to watch this with subtitles because I missed most of the dialogue when I saw it.

 

I’ll watch this when it hits Redbox in a couple weeks. And, yeah, I’ll definitely have the subtitles on when I do.

Tempted to read a plot summary beforehand, as I typically due with blockbusters, though it’s also tempting not to, just to see if I agree that it’s confusing or whatever.

 

It’ll be easier to follow with subtitles but there is just so much information dumped on you constantly. It’s a joke.

 

This was definitely a Christopher Nolan movie, in all it's clunky and audacious glory. Still can't quite wrap my head around the mechanics on the inversion stuff, but it makes for a hell of an entertaining concept visually. All of the set pieces were incredibly entertaining. Every time I go into a Nolan movie, I know I'm going to see something I've never seen before on a scale that only he could do.

That said, it's mid-tier Nolan for me. It did feel like I was trudging through expository dialog at times. It also felt pretty dry emotionally, which is a complaint I know people have in general for his movies.

 

Tried watching this for the 2nd time tonight, and after 30 minutes I just didn't care anymore about what I was watching and stopped. Looking back on it now, what made me not as emotionally interested was that we really didn't hear at that much about the future where the inversion device was invented, who invented it, why there was war, who were the major players, etc. Just that it's affecting what's happening now, and this one Russian dude is the key to stopping the madness from happening (this is just what I vaguely remember from my first viewing). Even though on paper it sounds like it's an extremely important mission for the Protagonist, I feel like there's just not enough background given to give the importance enough heft to make me care. Yeah I'm just riffin' right now, but they're my most recent thoughts.
