Exceptional

Rating: 8/10 (12 November 2018)

This is a very good film, if not great. I found the final segment, when Cooper basically explains the film's meaning(s) to no one in particular (meaning the audience), to be condescending and annoying. Other than this, it is very good. That said, I don't think it even compares with "2001: A Space Odyssey", which Stanley Kubrick began making exactly 50 years before this film was released. The "IMDB Top 250 Films" list, which has almost every Christopher Nolan film he has made in the top 50 (not his fault) doesnt have a single film made by Stanley Kubrick in the top 50. This speaks volumes as to the caliber of amateur "film critics" (myself included) to be quite ignorant, in my opinion. So, this film was a letdown for me, but what was I expecting after the same director that made 3 films about "Batman", a comic book character (all in the top 50 of course). To show my objectivity, I think his film "The Prestige" to be brilliant; my favorite amongst Mr. Nolan's body of work. I gave it 7 stars, and I am being generous.
