Film Illiterate, wherein the proprietor records movies seen, and sporadic progress through assorted lists of the "best". Originally started after regretfully renting something forgettable for the third time. I've forgotten what, but never again! A tedious endeavour since 2005. Hello. 🙂
The critical reception for Christopher Nolan's latest everyman "masterpiece" seems excessively effusive given the film's problems -- notably its lack of subtlety. Nothing is ever left for the audience to infer, not even the surprise/twist ending, which had been not just hinted at, but explained in detail not fifteen minutes earlier.
It's slick and enjoyable, and judging it a superior version of The Matrix seems fair: the same sort of light-weight philosophy, coated in chocolaty action/adventure/explosions so it goes down easy. Ultimately it fails in the same way; there is less there, not more, than meets the eye.
