Ponderous

Rating: 8/10 (25 July 2010)

Nolan is a wonderful craftsman obsessed with dreams and the nature of reality. From Memento and Insomnia, "What is real?" has been a central question in his films. DiCaprio is a wonderful craftsman. The production values in this film were outstanding.The storyline was weak. The "original" metaphors and ideas had appeared before in the Matrix Sequels, Angel Heart, and Blade Runner. Was not disappointed but do not think is a generationally great or life-changing film. Both Nolan and DiCaprio tried really really hard and made one of the best films of the year. Anyone who thinks this film was game changing apparently hasn't seen enough films to know what game-changing is.
