Yes. It's great in parts and not so great in others. Very different from his other films. Needs to be seen twice, it's extremely dense.

Exactly. A simple Google search would have settled it as well. Amateur hour.SBSP wrote:Chris Nolan doesn't do regular length movies.

Fully agree.
What parts didn't you like? I read your comment and some less than perfect reviews and went into it not expecting it to be as good as his other films but I thought it really good, certainly not worse than his other films.
However:

Did you watch it in IMAX?

I've seen it twice now and I enjoyed my second viewing significantly more. The first time I was trying so hard to keep up with the scientific jargon and all the plot developments that I didn't really connect with the emotional core. Second time I just allowed myself to get swept away in the experience and I found it kind of beautiful.

No, I didn't see it in IMAX.

The detail in which they went into about relativity, wormholes, time and gravity was one of the best parts of the film for me. I've never seen a film do it so well and so maturely.

I also didn't like the stuff with Murph and her brother and his family, seemed kinda forced and pointless. I get that she needed to be in her room so that her Dad could send her the data but the whole part with testing their lungs and evacuating them was pointless.
No, it's not that I found the love stuff sappy it's just the way they explained it seemed like a cop out when compared to everything else. Like you said they over explained most of the scientific stuff, but when they set-up the idea of love when Brand was talking about her connection to Edmund's planet she explained it very obscurely and fantastically and all she said was that it was quantifiable but she didn't really explain how or why. If she'd said something like "the feeling that we call "love" is just a release of chemicals in the brain and we can develop methods to tap into the brain (like antidepressant medication) and heighten the release of those chemicals" then that would have been fine. But I get the feeling that they didn't want to go down the scientific route with love because 80% of their audience properly aren't the type that want realistic scientific explanations for love and that whole "mystical love drew me here" would most likely resonate with them better, like you said with Nolan trying to do with mainstream appeal. I felt a little like it didn't fit in with what the film was trying to do.

So when did you think the movie should have finished? Because that didn't really take up all of the last 15 minutes, more like about 5.Zzonked wrote:
