all overrated. even as a huge sci-fi nerd i hated interstellar. Memento, shit apart from the acting perhaps which is solid (good in interstellar too, but that is not enough).

Prestige, i remember liking it, probably the only one from him.
Tenet, i would never watch.

As a sci-fi nerd I hated Interstellar from the get go Laughing the entire point of the movie was to find a new Earth to migrate humanity too. And one of the best candidates was a planet where time moves like 100x slower than the rest of the universe, sitting right next to a huge motherfucking quasar Laughing what bs

Batman trilogy didn't age well either, apart from the obvious Heath Ledger. I still like Inception though, even upon rewatch.

I can always go for a rewatch of Inception. It's definitely one of my favorite movies of all time. I found Interstallar to be nice, at least it's internally consistent. Yeah the science does not hold up and the "timetravel" end makes as little sense as most movies, but at least it was internally coherent and understandable. Not like Tenet where you think it might sense sense at some point but no, it's just all garbage.

Odyssey was written 2750-2650 years ago, I guess some modern Greek see it like some modern Jews see Tanah, which, by the way, was being still compiled at that time. They treat it with veneration like their exclusive cultural heritage.
The fact that the poem became global cultural phenomenon doesn't preclude some modern Greek feeling vexed when Homer's book gets defaced by modern interpretations.

Edit: The 3-d link to nfohump post is the same as the second one, please, rectify this to truly portray your mad search skills Laughing

Out of the theater reactions are very positive.

Movie gets really good after the first 30-40 minutes.

tried to rewatch interstellar and yes i really hated it but yes seems like i thought it was decent at one point, the forum spans decades, opinions and taste change, hardly something new. in fact there are many movies from 10-15 years ago that i liked and today i have no clue what i saw in it.

some is also down to set and setting, sometimes you rewatch something and you like it way more than the first watch.

i try to always put a score on imdb to see if i have watched something and what my score was. the 7's i sometimes rewatch, lower than that i usually skip, but a 7 is in that area where it can get to an 8+ some 10 years later, or you think its worse, like i did here.


Film Threat hated this, they really thought the very modern language got very strange, they did like a few things though but seemed really unimpressed. They didnt think the "woke" characters had that much screen time so that part was a nothingburger.

‘The Odyssey’ review: Christopher Nolan’s magical epic is mammoth and fantastic

Quote:
The Odyssey review – Nolan goes god-tier with breathtaking epic of men, monsters and moral metamorphosis

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Doing full justice to the Homeric legend, Christopher Nolan amasses an epic cast to convey the true cost of war with film-making of thrilling ambition

This is a film with thrilling ambition, boldness, seriousness, generosity and flair. There are some broad-brush moments in the dialogue, yes, but even these are applied with a muscular flourish. It has gasp-inducing, Imax-sized landscapes of loneliness shot by cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema – who, incidentally, avoids the sea’s traditional cliched colour – and full-tilt battle sequences and fight scenes accompanied by the throbbing and thrumming of drums.

Memento and Prestige are among my favorite movies


all the Oppenheimers, Interstellars, etc are decent to watch but nowhere as special (IN MY BOOK)
