I remember this movie being very good. I hope it holds up, especially with my very reduced attention span

I wish Nolan made another one like this, I liked his work better before the massive budgets.
We lost a lot with streaming, no more thrillers and dramas. Everything has to be bombastic. Look at Affleck and Damon, powerhouses reduced to Nike shite and SWAT team stories. Not that they are bad, they did well with them but we will never get a Good Will Hunting again at this rate.
Rewatching Star Wars and everything was so earnest in the OT, the only quips were actually character associated.
We gained a lot with streaming too. Plenty of good series. But back then and right now at least 90% is garbage, for some maybe even 99,99%. But I do think we still have some good products.
There are still a lot of thrillers and dramas being made, but their quality is generally not great
Momento's surprising twist isn't that is has director-approved Dolby Vision HDR
his best movie by so far
I just hope he doesn't "remaster" the audio into wet gravel like his newer films
Never has there been a more overrated director.
It's movie nerds who like him. I enjoy a movie with dialogue I can hear, characters who are memorable, and more substance than style.
He's a super mainstream director with huge budgets. It's superhero fans who made him famous, movie nerds like him up to Memento (his first movie with a real budget) - Insomnia is not bad but a real movie nerd watched the original and knows Nolan butchered it by inserting American moralism (making main character tragic and sympathetic because American audiences are driven by emotion and must empathize with the main character).
His big movies are only "brainy" if you compare them to Marvel and Fast and Furious movies.
