When trying way too hard to sound smart...

Rating: 3/10 (20 August 2018)

This is not a bad movie, don't let the 3* fool you. Memento is just a movie that takes itself way too seriously and i know Nolan intended to make it a smart one much like he did inception and interstellar afterwards, but therein lies the problem : there is a magnanimous difference between being smart and therefore sounding smart and trying to sound smart therefore sounding like a damp confusing mess. Memento unfortunately falls into the latter category. and dont be fooled by being confused the movie hasnt outsmarted you, it is a vague series of events going both backwards and forwards simultaneously thus rightfully confusing you if you even attempt to get invested or even care enough to try and understand it, i have watched this movie. All of it. i left the cinema thinking to myself "What did i get out of this movie ?" the answer was "Absolutely nothing" just a waste of a valuable 113 minutes of my life. Do something better with these 113 minutes...
