great direction... awful ending

Rating: 5/10 (4 June 2007)

The movie had a great set-up and very good direction and story telling... however the ending was completely awful. The duplication machine was beyond ridiclous for a movie with a serious tone. Its as if the writers, during the screenplay, ran out with ideas on how to end the movie and explain how "The teleportation man" trick actually works... so instead just decided to make a fantasy ending/ explanation. However, as with all christopher Nolan movies, the movie is paced very well with a lot of realistic twists and turns. the story telling (up until the last 10 minutes) is very good. However, the main problem is the two big twists. The teleportation machine was previously discussed. The other was the ridoclous plot twist of the twin brother. It is obivous the writers reached too much to create a magic trick they couldn't logically explain themselves so they created the twin, and added a sprinkle of hints throughout the movie to attempt to give crediablity to the awful ending
