Fuck off, Nolan, we’re not buying it. Just clean up your damn sound mix, troll! [Reply]
Mixed feelings. It was entertaining and full of action sequences that were really impressive. But the plot was super confusing.
Spoiler!
If felt like they went out of their way to make it confusing and so fast paced you couldn't really think about the plot much. The audio was quiet and often muffled by the constant action and explosions. The plot was kind of a mess. It worked so hard to build intrigue and mystery, but never really explained things very well. The time inverted objects stuff and how they used it was pretty hokey. Even in a movie about time travel, that just kinda fell flat for me. The inverted objects seemed to break their own unwritten time travel rules when necessary. Not expecting them to create and explain the physics for it or anything. But how the handled it just didn't quite work. The time inversion pincer tactic thing was pretty cool itself. But it required me to turn off my brain and quit thinking about how it was supposed to work, in order to enjoy it.
The action scenes were great though. Pattinson was really good, and probably should have had a bigger role. Overall, I enjoyed it but I guess I expected more.

My oldest son (25) theorizes that the movie itself is a temporal pincer movement. It forces you to go back and re-watch it, running through the same events with the benefit of knowledge from your past self.

That's an interesting idea, and sounds very Nolanish. [Reply]

Hahaha. This would be mind blowing if that’s what he intended. [Reply]
I read an interview with Nolan, and he claims the sound mix is his intent.
He said he likes scenes where music or sound effects can move the narrative along as much or more than the dialogue.
He went as far as saying that often the dialogue doesnt matter (I think that was directly referencing the studio asking for Bane's dialogue to be "fixed). [Reply]
Caught this yesterday and thought it was entertaining as hell (very confusing at times though but no biggie as its sci fi after all) . Also, had to have been one of the loudest films I've ever seen in theaters. Would recommend it to any fans of sci fi. [Reply]
He needs some help in post production. A lot of his movies feel very amateurish based on sound and editing. This was for sure a bottom tier nolan film that I might have liked only a little bit more than Dunkirk based on the awesome locales and cinematography. Otherwise it was a mess that I was mostly witnessesing and not absorbing. I have no desire to see it again to try and figure it out. [Reply]

I get that and I even remarked to my brother as we walked out, that based on his last few films with poor sound mixing that this seems intentional. It's still a shit thing to witness, and really juxtaposes against the high budget feel. [Reply]
