overload

Rating: 8/10 (23 July 2010)

Hard to know where to start, too much unnecessary gunfighting. Didn't really need explosions as the premise of the story is fascinating anyway - maybe the gunfire and explosions were for the younger members of the audience.
Mr Nolan is a major talent and has great imagination. But trying to keep up with the dialogue was bloody difficult; really don't know how the young kids in the audience followed this.
In the show I was watching you could feel the sense of giving up as after about an hour and a half of dreams/subconscious/mind/ dialogue plus a plot to try and unravel, the level of people talking and giggling started to crank up. My concentration level started to wain when they arrived at the snowy location - basically I threw in the towel.
Yes, it was well made, great to look at, the music was brilliant, but even the ending lacked any emotional connection that the audience could make with L de C.
You've basically got to see this film at least 3 times to eventually go "Oh wow! I get it, what a film"
