Meh

I love Christopher Nolan. He's great. He rarely disappoints. In fact, I'm not sure he has yet, until this movie.
It's not terrible. Maybe my expectations were too high. But it's just so... heavy. Everything is like super life or death heart-attack serious, and it makes it hard to enjoy sometimes. I know conflict is the bread and butter of movies, but really, at a certain point I want to breathe and enjoy myself, even a teensy bit. I think there's like 2 jokes in this whole thing. Not that it needs to be super jokey, but that's a reflection of some of the weight issues.
The acting is superb. The effects are great. I didn't buy the ending at all really (and I saw it coming from like minute 2) but whatever, i watch a lot of sci-fi so that's to be expected.
I do think the robots were cool looking, but impractical as hell.
