The way Damon's character was described it seems more like he was super narcissistic and couldn't handle the failure of his mission. Even the killing everyone part makes sense then, since only he will remember his failure and he will be the adam of the new humans on top. His stupid monologue is typical too, since he doesn't expect anyone else to hear it, at the same time trying to justify everything.

The ending was fascinating because I got to see deus ex machina in its natural habitat.

I was trying to figure out who would've designed robots to be featureless slabs. Then I realized it was Kubrick.

The parts that showed spaceships doing spaceship stuff were pretty good.

They could have easily cut out about an hour of the tiring melodrama.

It was way too loud. Like painfully loud.

Romilly (the black spaceman) is pretty much the worst black stereotype in films, rarely seen these days: the kindly, wise black caretaker (slave) who tells fanciful stories to the younger whites he looks after.

I dunno I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Dark Knight (with Heath Ledger's awesome Joker) was a real, true masterpiece. From the intense and well-placed musical score to the timing to all of the set pieces to fuckin Tiny Lister throwing the bomb detonator off of the jailbird ferry, it hit so many good notes. Not quite flawless, but imo his best film (certainly way, way better than Interstellar).

Dark Knight Rises, not so much.

I think it will be the one movie of Nolan's that holds up into, say, the 2020s, because his style of exposition-heavy dialogue where every character explicitly tells you what they stand for works best in a superhero mileu. Superheroes are basically theatrical, symbol-heavy archetypes and that naturally works with what Nolan does. (I haven't seen Memento though so that might hold up as his best too idk).

Nightcrawler and Birdman are both amazing, and if you put them together they're still only a tenth as long as Christopher Nolan's sprawling 30 hour long love letter to a more talented, more dead, director. A striking paucity of mealy mouthed science worship- thinly veiled with True Love pablum to make it look like art- however, basically make those other two "movies" right wing christian propaganda by comparison, and I will much enjoy taking them down a notch on Facebook. At the end of the day? I'm siding with the guy who thinks crafting a story is not unlike submitting a paper to your physics professor and being ok with the C- grade you get.

Memento is pretty good, but I remember it being worse than Nolan's average in terms of the characters verbally explaining everything that is happening while it's happening.
