  1. Hope

    That is what it means to be a nolanite

    To know

    That there's somebody out there

    Who strives to do better

    Strives to be better

    To reach for the stars

    Michael bay may give us the films we deserve

    But Christopher Nolan gives us the films we need

    Cinema was born on earth

    But it was never meant to die here

    Wow. This film is almost beyond words. Even more than two hours later and it is still being absorbed. This is something that has to be experienced, multiple times. To be honest it did start out slow and the whole thing with the old people had me very confused, but once things got going, they really took off. There's a point where you feel as if Nolan has overridden Newton's first law. Visually beautifully in every way imaginable, if this doesn't win best visual effects than the academy must be blind.

    Everybody puts in there best effort here, McCaughnohey deserves at the very least a nomination and Jessica Chastain really impressed me in this. A solid performance from Michael Caine as well, his death scene was one of a couple that brought me very close to tears. While I usually try not to get to sappy during movies, Coopers relationship with Murph was absolutely phenomenal.

    The plot as usual suffers from a little too much exposition in the beginning but once it gets going, it hits warp speed and there is nothing to stop it. The third act completely worked for me and everything was ended in perfection.

    Finally I have to say that Nolan added some very good humor in this, which has in some instances been lacking too much in his films.

    Hands down the best sci-fi of the year, beating EOT and with repeat viewings it might become within the decade. The only problems it suffers from is its overambition(but considering the state of affairs in Hollywood these days that it's actually more of a compliment) and some problems hearing the dialogue due to bad sound mixing and Zimmer's score being too loud.

    For now I'll give it an A but that might go up in the near future

  2. 44/99-legs were bad because the movie was so negative

    Comedy about a man who man who hates everything, and ruins everybody's favorite holidays, vacations, sporting events, dances and all other forms of entertainment. He tries to start his own pseudo religion based on his personal philosophy of cynicism but it fails miserably because everybody is constantly critcizing each others decisions. Eventually in the last 5 minutes of the movies he has a change of heart and becomes an optimist.

    Half filled or half empty?
