Was it really that great?

Rating: Null/10 (29 May 2001)

I saw Memento last night and although I thought it was an original way of telling a story it carried no deeper meaning that floored me. By the end of the film I was still very confused. Remember Sammy Jankis? Who was on the phone? Even with the finale, or the beginning I guess I should say, it did not tie all the loose ends together. And with the explanation the audience is fed at the beginning of the chaos it gives the film even less emotion.
It definitely is not one of the top ten films of all time. The plot was original as well as the story telling but it lacked any emotional charge or underlying meaning to really make an impact on me.
