Brilliant, now make me care a little please.

Man am I going to lose some "artistic" cred here. The formula is very well done, and totally apt to the condition portrayed by our main character. It is a very interesting story and well told by Nolan and the entire cast. Yes I'm aware of all of that, and based upon all of those things "Memento" was brilliant. That being said, I didn't enjoy watching this movie. After being interested for about the first 5 minutes, I lapsed into waiting for the story to progress. It never did. I don't see how anyone could pull off this type of "pacing" any better than Momento, the problem is I don't see how the pacing of this story can be good either. It's not the fault of anyone involved, I just couldn't stand constantly receiving the same information over and over. I already know this, I don't care that the main character does not. It could not have been put together any better than it was, but it just kept frustrating me over and over. Every single second of the movie is spent re-hashing information about the movie that the movie has already established. And I don't think that's even possible. The entire film I was thinking "movie, show me something we don't already know." And it never did.
