I must be going crazy here!

Rating: 6/10 (19 July 2010)

I just am not seeing the greatness of this film. There is no doubt Nolan is an intelligent and imaginative guy. But I just could not fully embrace the premise of this film, my brain struggled to accept what seems so divergent from dream behavior. I know sci-fi/fantasy is all about accepting a bunch of premises which does or can not exist in reality, but at so many turns my suspension of disbelief was popped out to ask the question "hmm does this really jive with EITHER my universe or Nolan's?". Maybe I'm overly analytic, or maybe it's the opposite and I'm just too dumb to smoothly grasp and accept it - but in either case I found the movie mentally agitating. He gets points for vision, creativity and a lot of other positives - but when you're so busy questioning whether anything's even plausible that you can't even enjoy the film, well, you get the idea.
