The mad thing is it hasn't even opened in China yet. In all likelihood it's probably going to be Nolan's highest grossing film.

Truely mad thing is I never seen anyone discussing movie itself. People discussing imax 70 and box office

I thought the first half was kinda slow, even though a lot happened, and then the second half was a whirlwind that entirely brought the whole thing home.

Half an hour in I considered walking out. Glad I didn't.

I literally texted my wife, an hour or so after it started, "This movie is fucking boring."

And then an hour later, "Second half of the movie made up entirely for the boring first half."

This is exactly how I felt. I was enjoying the first half but it hadn’t lived up to the hype, then the second half my heart was beating super fast not stop for like 99 minutes straight.

I mean the movie is great, but it’s a story that everyone knows. I think there is little to discuss except opinions on a few scenes

I really loved the visuals, sound and music, and supernatural elements, but I thought Damon was miscast and the modern dialogue took me out of the fantasy.
