I think he plays with the timelines of some of his movies a bit too much to the point it’s just a chore to sort it all out. At the end of Oppenheimer I’m just like…great, now I need to watch this again. It still made sense but going back with the context of oh that scene is like years prior to the one we just watched…and that one goes after this other one.

I still need to watch Dunkirk again because I honestly think the theater spliced a reel in the wrong spot. I was back at my parents for some reason that summer and saw it with them and some of my siblings…everybody was a little lost. So I’m withholding judgement on that till I see it again.

Interstellar was at least more or less linear just with time acceleration.

I haven’t even seen Tenet yet but from what I’ve heard…

Prestige and Memento(oddly enough) I don’t have an issue with…

Interstellar was at least more or less linear just with time acceleration.

Except the library bit. If I stop Interstellar before the ending then I can enjoy it.

Tenet is just laughably bad from an audio but also writing POV.

Cool concept tho. He just managed to ruin it.

I’d still recommend you watch it just for those two things.

Unless you're seeing films at some kind of cinema revival, nobody does reels anymore. You saw the reel Dunkirk, so to speak.

Dunkirk was a weird exception

Warner Bros. is looking to make the most of it. The studio has announced that theaters in the U.S. and Canada will be showing Dunkirk in all its glory in 125 locations around the country, the widest 70-mm release in 25 years. To make that happen, the movie will be shown in 30 IMAX theaters that are equipped with 70-mm projectors. In addition, 95 old 70-mm projectors, once thought to be a technology destined for obsolescence, have been resuscitated and installed in select theaters.

Interesting. I wonder if Seattle Cinerama was part of that at the time? The film did have a great visual appeal, but the script definitely fell short.
