I need to leave this thread. Interstellar is my favorite movie of all time.

I’ll outright say it. Other than The Prestige and the later Batman movies, Nolan movies have been very disappointing to me. They’re not clever, they’re pretentious. If you ever saw that Netflix movie where the woman dated Keanu Reaves, the part where Keanu asks the chef for a meal the plays with the concept of time is every Christopher Nolan movie in a nutshell. Also, the action sequences in Batman Begins were unnecessarily choppy, and the idea that it was somehow how a bat would see them is just silly.

The stories in both were somewhat disjointed and as with most sci-fi, requires some level of suspension of disbelief.

Nowadays, storytelling and plot takes a big backseat to action and explosions....😔

"My daughter Murph. I keep gettin' older. She stays the same age."

Also, I love how he had a son who just wanted to be a farmer and that meant that Matthew McConaughey's character was justified in being totally emotionally disinterested in him, compared to his genius daughter. Seriously, at a certain point I think Nolan forgot he wrote this guy with two kids. His entire character was defined by his relationship with his daughter. Why even give him a son in the first place?

I liked both Interstellar and Inception. I hated Tenet - on how the story was told and the inaudible sound (eye roll).
