not good enough

Rating: 2/10 (17 September 2017)

As a fan of Nolan's works, I have to say that this one was a disappointment. I wasn't going to write a review either, seeing how many have been written already, but I feel like I should. Okay, so here's the deal, for what I gathered, you'll either hate it or love it. Unfortunately, I'm one of those who hated it. Okay, hate is a strong word, so let's say that I was bored by it. The first half hour you just wait to see what will happen and for the story to kick in. But, after forty minutes in, you finally realise that the story is there, you just didn't see it. I have to read some reviews to finally get a grasp of what was happening, as the description doesn't really prepare you. After that, it's just a boring movie about ships getting sank and no dialogues. No dialogues would have mean a gold mine of rich emotional performances, but not in this case. The performances were blunt and the emotions just no where to be seen. So, what's left is a disappointing ending and the credits. Overall, I give this one a 2 because the story may have been there, but it wasn't presented nicely enough for me to see it. Plus, there was no thrill in it to keep me interest nor emotion.
