Okay, so this is LEAGUES better then Oppenheimer, but still a pretty minor Nolan movie. He had a tremendous cast that he had just no idea what to do with. Damon and Holland are the weakest links. Hathaway's big speech is one of the highlights of the movie, as is Leguizamo (who I didn't even know was in this). Charlize is fully wasted. Just cut her out.

The movie is too long but I was never bored and I actually got emotional a couple of times, which Nolan hasn't managed to do to me in a while. The movie is flawed and a structural mess but I appreciate the swing and the spectacle.

It's the first movie intended for IMax that I saw at a standard theater that I could tell was meant for IMax. The framing is all wrong if you don't see it as intended and that kinda sucks.

Nolan has movies that work for me and movies that don't, I'd put this at the bottom of the "works" pile. I can't imagine ever having a desire to see it again but I didn't hate the experience of watching it.

Oh! Also Samantha Morton's scene/chapter might be my favorite part of the movie.

FJ said the same. It's certainly up there.

My favorite part was the shores of death. That, or the cyclops. Poor fella.
