The first Christopher Nolan movie to stand out by the masses and for very good reasons

Rating: Null/10 (29 September 2011)

This is the first movie by Christopher Nolan to stand out by the masses and for very good reasons. This film is simply a cult classic, wait scratch that. This movie is a classic period and it accomplishes so much although it's a low budget movie. Movies like this proves that you don't need a large budget in order to make a mesmerizing film that also challenges the audience. This is a film that goes in a reverse order sometimes and it has perfected this formula. And other films soon copied this formula but so far it just wasn't as good as this. People sometimes write stuff down so they won't forget and that element plays a big issue in this movie, cause the protagonist is a very forgetful person. His memory is very fragile and he can only remember very short amount of time. The premise of this movie is intriguing as it can get, which means just about any audience will be grabbed by the mystery of what is really going on. The dialogue is also interesting because of the premise of it all, actually not just that it keeps you thinking. And is another reason why you can't help but pay attention to what is going on although it can come off as ambiguous at times. Christopher Nolan is a good director that can even make a intricate movie like this understandable for the mass majority of audiences. Of course watching it a second time can rehash and make things more clear but it isn't as amazing. But I usually base a review from the first watch and from the first watch this is a amazing mystery movie. Where the puzzle pieces get put together bit by bit in the most interesting way possible. Like any good book or a movie the anticipation is the main drive of this movie and got me hooked from beginning to end. This is a clever film that anyone that enjoys movies should most definitely watch and not pass on.
