My head's spinning as fast as that rotating spaceship, that whole bookcase/tesseract scene and the scenes w/ Damon are discombobulating to say the least!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06313168799746450979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-22875826180465785322014-11-18T12:16:38.341-05:002014-11-18T12:16:38.341-05:00I had to skip most of this review since I haven...I had to skip most of this review since I haven't seen the movie but I've heard a lot of people are disappointed with it. I'm hoping that it's because people are more familiar with his later work like Batman and not his early work like Memento. That said, the sound choices he made show that he's still an uncompromising director.Maurice Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338165486757095191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-26756472191014902692014-11-18T12:08:49.726-05:002014-11-18T12:08:49.726-05:00I liked the film too.

You brought up some points I hadn't thought of the first time around like Cooper disengaging into the blackhole when Tars already did; I thought it was because there wasn't ultimately enough to take them both through. Anywho, Nolan's movie is ambitious if a little sketchy on the plot at times. Definitely worth a second-watch though! :)Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00287429151542133314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-33838707180587357422014-11-17T15:48:25.569-05:002014-11-17T15:48:25.569-05:00Ha, yes it was hard to make sense of this movie at...Ha, yes it was hard to make sense of this movie at times. The black hole/bookcase business soured the movie a bit for me. It was just so ludicrous. Traveling through a wormhole...ok. fine. But traveling through a black hole to behind a bookcase is where I draw the line! :) msmariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15486729990673366769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-7968645421612955042014-11-17T15:17:00.972-05:002014-11-17T15:17:00.972-05:00This is excellent I really admire that you tried t...This is excellent I really admire that you tried to make sense out of this whole mess once I saw the bookshelves in black hole I literally grabbed my own head and whispered 'what the F?'. I thought the whole film was a gigantic disappointment and the only thing that was consistently great was Matt's performances.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-75389606138945186092014-11-17T14:26:13.993-05:002014-11-17T14:26:13.993-05:00Yes, I thought it was a good film.

And while flawed, still a spectacle to behold. I'll probably watch it just one more time for the visuals and to catch what I missed, but it was also very depressing in parts, and not sure I want to go through the emotional wringer again. (Like Pan's Labyrinth - amazing film but the most depressing thing on earth.)Alex J. Cavanaughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09770065693345181702noreply@blogger.com
