This mirrors my experience. I got so bored I was falling asleep, and turned it off about 50-60 minutes into it-- and I wanted to like it. Maybe I'll go back and finish it, but I'll have to make it a conscious point of doing so. But likely not.

I liked it overall. But admit it’s one of Nolan’s weaker efforts.

I liked it a lot up until about an hour and a half in.

Once the car stuff chase started. Then it completely lost me. And the final battle just kinda had me bored.


At least it was spectacle assault if you saw it in theaters.

It's pretty rare for a filmmaker of Nolan's stature to have a perfect record at the box office and with the audience.

Spielberg, Ridley Scott, Clint Eastwood and Orson Wells, just to name a few, have all made amazing films, but they've also made films that failed to connect with the audience and critics.

Their reputations were not "ruined" nor did they take "hit". Sometimes, it takes years or even a decade for people to "find" a film that had been discarded, only to become an all time classic years after the initial release.

Christopher Nolan and his reputation are going nowhere.

He's one more mediocre movie away from becoming M. Night. Especially if he does it for 3 consecutive movies.

M Night got knocked down. But he eventually came back.

Nolan's films have grossed more than $7 BILLION at the Box Office so he's allowed to have a few films that don't connect with an audience every now and then.

Everything isn't about revenue, it's about studios backing and associating with the best filmmakers of the day.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure that Warner Brothers and/or any studio would love to work with M. Night, especially considering his last movie cost $20 million to produce while generating $247 million at the box office.

That's an amazing ROI.

Going to watch this for a 3rd time tonight.

Enjoyed it the first time, but I was very confused and had to watch a couple videos on YT. The 2nd time was MUCH better.

Like Dunkirk, it might be one of Nolan’s “worst”, but it’s still an 8/10 for me

And comparing Christopher ****ing Nolan to M. Night is a ****ing joke

I'm glad I read this thread, as when attempting to watch it the first time both the wife and I looked at each other and thought "WTF is going on? Can you hear what anyone is saying?" -- We got about 20 minutes in and turned it off.

I thought I was watching a bad quality stream or something as the dialogue seemed very mumbled and hard to understand. (Looks like a common complaint).


Anyway, I will attempt to watch it again sometime when I can crank the volume and my ears aren't feeling so damn old.

Nolan has been my favorite over the past 2 decades as Batman, Momento, and Inception have been amazing.

What the **** are people talking about in this thread? Dunkirk is a phenomenal movie, and the fact that it made more than half a billion dollars for a lesser known WWII story shows his clout. The dude is firmly cemented as a top critical and box office performer, and that’s not even remotely in jeopardy.

Dunkirk might actually be his best movie which is saying a lot considering his filmography.

As far as Tenet, I still haven't come back to it for a second time yet. Will see if I enjoy it more on a rewatch.

No way Dunkirk is his best movie but it was well done.

I think it might be objectively. I’m partial to others though.

I think if you knew nothing about Batman at all ever and watched The Dark Knight it’s probably still Nolan’s best work.

But Dunkirk is probably in the conversation
