Thanks for this post. This is one of the things that I missed the most about reddit, getting to the main post after seeing a movie. Unfortunately it seems that the number of comments is not the same (expected) and still quite low so I’ll do my part and contribute my opinion.

I’ll go a bit against the grain here and say that for me this film is not a 10/10 at all, like people are making it to be. It’s good and it has definitely it’s moments, but I found the timeline and so many arcs confusing and unnecessary. Sometimes everything is dished out at once, when it doesn’t require so, and it makes it hard to keep up.

I’ll concede that I usually watch movies at home where I can have English subtitles on which usually help with some of the more baffled dialogue (and Nolan suffers this the most) but I don’t think it was because of that, that I felt this way.

Once again it feels like Nolan is getting in his own way with all the time jumps and multiple timelines, and while for some movies that “feature” is THE movie, like in TENET or Inception, here it is not needed at all like in both of these movies, and it is not executed well (like it is done amazingly in inception where a 5 layered story is perfectly displayed and understood).

In the end Oppie’s character also comes out as suprisingly bland, and while I appreciate that they didn’t make him neither a saviour or a villain, they also somehow managed to make him rather boring.

In the end I would rate this movie around 8/10 or 7.5/10 because technically and artistically it has its moments but I feel like if this wasn’t a Nolan film it wouldn’t have this much hype behind it.
