Makes me feel smart


Honestly, I had the exact same experience with this movie as with Inception, Interstellar, and even The Matrix. Now, I know this isn't the universal experience, but it seems that most people I hear reviewing this movie are primarily confused. I'm not an exceptionally smart guy, but come on, they literally explain everything perfectly in the movies. Thoughts? Are people seeing philosophical open ended questions where I'm seeing cold hard facts? Gustavo Woltmann

Yeah I've noticed that people who become smitten with movies like The Matrix, Inception and Interstellar also tend to receive an inflated opinion of their own intelligence because of it.

The movie is 50% explanation of what's going on...

I think people might have missed one small part of the explanation and rather than going with the flow, they get upset when it doesn't make sense to them entirely.

The exposition was too quick and at points was delivered under obscuring audio

mmmmgh mmg mmghm mmgmh

True... But I still think going with the flow works, at least that's what I do whenever this happens in movies...

So many water droplets left behind on the way though

It felt pretty straightforward to me, just like Nolan's other movies. I don't understand why people think his work is so brilliant.

What is the status of a non-reversed person who is shot by a reversed person with reversed bullets?

The movie looks great and has a few cool scenes but it is a mess and the logistic flaws are profound and obvious.
