I watched this out-of-theater with subtitles on so I didn’t have to experience the same issues that many found with this film at launch. I think that this film is a competent Nolan film with all of his Nolanisms cranked up to 10. The sound mixing is a mess for people without “optimal cinema setups”, the dialogue is hard to follow and some of the characters are not relatable or well developed at all. However, I don’t think the plot is as “nonsensical” as some make it out to be. I think the way the film handles “time-reversed” things make sense (at least in universe to the average audience member) and the logic stays consistent throughout the movie. The gimmick gives way for Nolan to do what he does best, make big spectacle to really WOW the audience. It definitely is not my favorite Nolan film, but in no way is it a film I failed to get enjoyment out of.
7/10
