7 hours ago I was there last night. Here's my 2-10 cents. Visually a work of art. Christopher Nolan = one of the most visionary film makers working today. Christopher Nolan needs to get rid of his script writing number 11 button and stop trying to make every scene a home run. Like music the best movies undulate invisibly rather than jump between richter scale 8 and crickets. The emotional manipulation became more and more evident as the movie progressed as the pacing was relentless yet oddly not propulsive. There 2-4 set pieces that belong in the set piece hall of fame. Hans Zimmer needs to have his number 11 button taken away from him forever and learn to play the flute. He crushed the movie, and not in a good way. With his relentless ode to 2001 I yearned for the humanity and nimble fingers of Gravity. All in though it's what blockbusters should aim to be. Ambitious, artful mainstream story telling, just with a little less dourness. Oh and Matthew Mcaugnanny (spell check please) was miscast. He's so much better as the dark heart of a piece. When he plays straight, I reach for my bugle. He makes you miss Richard Dreyfuss in his prime. And finally, IMAX is where epic cinema belongs. It's a nail in 3d's coffin and that can only be a good thing. Bravo Chris Nolan for leading the way.
